I had one as a pet once - unfortunately, I took it to the midwest with me and it died of starvation over the winter. I couldn't find anything for it to eat. That was a long time ago, though. Nowadays, almost all pet stores will have a supply of crickets to feed it. Spiders only eat what they kill, so you've got to have a steady supply of live critters for it to feed on. If you go the cricket route, I would guess that one or two per week would probably do it, depending on the size of the crickets. During the summer, you can complement its diet with roaches, junebugs, etc.
Also - make sure it has a source of water, and keep it warm and dry.
And don't handle it when you're really drunk - they're more fragile than they look.
