Oh Hunter! We knew you too well, yet not well enough.
We knew the gears in your mind, but not those in your heart. Unless your heart and your mind were in lock-step, which, on further reflection, was probably the case.
Hunter! The United States of America Misses You! You left too soon and in the middle of a furious war.
Our own Vice President has shot a friend in the face.
We have Fallen So Far. It's funny "Boo hoo" not funny "Ha ha" at this point. The possibilty of our doom is just a fantasy. Certainty has set in. It's awful. I am almost glad you did not live to see this, even as much as I miss you.
On Saturday, February 25th, we should gather together in Style and Manner. The details are not clear yet, but I miss you too much to let the anniversary of your sharp absence slip past without so much as a shot of Wild Turkey down my throat. It's just not possible. We must gather and call your spirit down. We must rise and see your spirit up.

Re: Hunter S. Thompson Memorial Fuck Around
Fri, February 17, 2006 - 8:55 AMNo one supports freedom, justice, and the American Way of Life like the ArtFag Mafia.
I will be attending the NIMBY ArtFag Mafia event in my hip waders and (if I can make one) gigantic strap-on lizard tail. Come out and celebrate the fantastic man...
I'll be going shooting at www.jacksonarms.com next Monday (the 27th, I guess). If anyone wants to join me, I'll be taking the gun safety course. :) Write me offlist.

Re: Hunter S. Thompson Memorial Fuck Around
Fri, February 17, 2006 - 2:41 PMSo Normal & I are really inspired to do a Hunter S. Thompson Iditarod team this
year. Its Mar. 4th!
I'm thinking a shopping cart(maybe a mini/baby one?!) full of Wild
Turkey, grapefruits, and soap, with bats attached to it with stuff wire,
so they'll be "swooping and screeching and diving around the car"t!!
Have someone in Thompson garb as the musher, a few lizards and attorneys
and random other miscreants pulling the sled (or rotating duties, though
I think the author/character seperation is interesting).
Hopefully have a typewriter(or mockup) in the baby seat of the cart, and
a boombox or something playing "White Rabbit" (and others) at excessive
and distorting volumes!
Ummm, yeah...we're inspired!! Anyone else?! =)

Re: Hunter S. Thompson Memorial Fuck Around
Sat, February 18, 2006 - 4:29 PMYeah! Iditarod!! Yeeessss. Let me know about planning and decorating and such. Last year I missed the whole thing, but ended up at the end party, slightly sober with all the drunk-ass freaks. I want to be one of the drunk-ass freaks again! -
