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.

Well, there is only one thing to say…happy Birthday Mr Thompson
Did you bake him a cake? Mmmm, cake.
No cake was baked. So sad!
Too bad we all live so far apart, we should throw him a birthday party…..maybe with some fireworks as a celebration
That’s a good idea. I’ll have to plan one for next year ;)
So Sad.
