Trippy! Absolutely out of the blue I picked up some of his papers a few nights ago, long about Monday, and read “Saturday Night At The Riviera”. Man do I love that little 1-2 pager.
Did his wife ever blow his ashes out of a cannon? I read somewhere shortly after his death ther there was a tape of him and his lawyer discussing their funerals and she was quoted as saying those were his wishes. She was going to build the cannon on their property somewhere.

According to my source, (Wikipedia, which I find to be reliable), Yes Hunter Thompson was shot out of a cannon on August 20, 2005 which was on a 153 foot tower. Fireworks were also fired when the cannon was shot. Currently, the cannon is in storage until a permanent location can be found. People who wish to see Hunter Thompsons page can see it at

Really, the only things most of these writers missed was his brilliant sense of style, writing skill, wit, intelligence, and inspiration. –Louis Black, see also Bruce Sterling’s SXSW 2007 keynote.
