it was a wedding gift from HST to me, along with a signed copy of 'Generation of Swine' and this poster
Not really much of a story (or at least not like my car accident ones!) but my (now ex- ) brother-in-law owns a bar in Aspen and was friends with HST. I've been a fan of his for a while, got to meet him, had a few drinks, told him some of the stories the has been privvy to, and was rewarded with the aformentioned wedding presents.
Like the man says, "When the going gets weird, the weird turn pro."
