: DERBY REPORTAGE

The narrator (I couldn't quite catch his name) is a reporter from San Francisco.  He is meeting an English illustrator, Ralph Steadmen, to write an article about the Kentucky Derby.  There ultimate goal is to capture someone who was drunk and messy to get the full effect of what the race was like in reality.  At the end of the story the narrator looks in the mirror and realizes that they were the perfect examples of this hag, drunk, sloppy derby regular.  This is Gonzo Journalism because they put themselves into the story which is a big no-no in regular journalism.  I noticed the sentences are very choppy because he is writing everything as soon as he thinks it.
