Original chair from Hunter S. Thompson's favorite watering hole—The Woody Creek Tavern in Aspen, Colorado—signed and inscribed on the back in black felt tip, "To Tim, Thanks for my years of booze, Hunter S. Thompson." The chair stands approximately 34″ tall, with a 22″ by 20″ seat. In fine condition, with expected signs of use and wear. Accompanied by a full letter of authenticity from Beckett Authentication Services, as well as a Hunter S. Thompson t-shirt. Thompson's affiliation with the Woody Creek Tavern is well documented—it's mentioned in Douglas Brinkley's lengthy Rolling Stone memorial piece on Thompson ('Hunter S. Thompson: Contentment Was Not Enough') and in numerous profiles of the bar, such as 'Spirit of Hunter S. Thompson lingers at his favorite Colorado bar,' published by the Los Angeles Times. A unique relic from the founder of 'gonzo journalism,' known for his lifelong use of alcohol and drugs, his love of firearms, and his iconoclastic contempt for authority.
