The result, The King of X, is a portrait of one of the most fascinating and surprising people I've ever met and one of my favorite things I've written for @TexasMonthly—which will always be the greatest place to do long-form narrative. https://t.co/Ha0KSntMSZ

Over the next six months, I spent countless hours sitting next to that bus unraveling a multi-decade romp through 1980s Dallas nightclubs (birthplace of the ecstasy boom?), Paris fashion, Chicago house music... with helicopters, fire dancers, federal agents, late-night raids...

Turns out, 40 years ago the guy had been one of the country’s biggest manufacturers and dealers of ecstasy...

Story behind the story: One day last year I was exploring a small Texas town where a wealthy tech guy had moved in and started fixing things up when someone told me I should meet this other guy who lived in a bus over by the old cotton gin, overlooking the river...

I used to come to twitter to follow an ongoing conversation by smart and sometimes silly people who care a lot about a handful of subjects that I care about. Those conversations aren’t happening any more.
