"We flipped to a page and put our finger down and tried to do whatever drugs Hunter was doing," said Glover, 38, who was at the hotel while visiting from Minneapolis.

1. Thanks for this link

'Colored banners with the word "gonzo" forming the handle of a sword topped with a fist hung from the walls. A television played the film "Breakfast with Hunter." '

For any and all HST fans: I cannot recommend this film, "Breakfast with Hunter," highly enough. I was fortunate enough to see it for the first time less than a week before the great man's death and it made me feel like I actually knew him. No kidding, it's that good. I think it's only available from the filmmaker's website. If you're interested, here's the URL:

I swear to God, you won't regret it if you buy this film.

2. I am glad HST got a good send off.

He made a great impression on me back in the '70's and I would've liked to have thanked him for making me actually think about this government and this world we live in.




I piss down the throat of these Nazis.
And I am too old to worry about whether they like it or not. Fuck them.
