By the Night's Gonzo Light!

Last night in Woody Creek, Colorado a final tribute was held for Hunter S. Thompson. 250 friends of the famous journalist gathered near a 153 foot monument near his home for a final sendoff.
A fireworks display dispersed his ashes over his Colorado estate as predicted in a 1978 BBC Documentary.
The tribute was financed primarily by actor friend Johnny Depp who played the Hunter Thompson character in the movie “Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas“.
Performing at the event were “The Nitty Gritty Dirt Band and Lyle Lovett.
Thompson’s widow, Anita said that not all the late writer’s ashes were involved..some had been retained for private services.
On Wednesday this past week she delivered the ashes used last night to the Zambelli Fireworks Company in New Castle, Pennsylvania where they were placed in 34 different red, white and blue rocket shells.
Although I've been told during my life by some who knew me that I remind them of Thompson..and that I would probably really appreciate his writings, I never got into his works until this past year. It is very interesting reading to say the least..
I also finally saw the aforementioned movie "Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas in February. What a laugh riot that was!
I wonder if it was a coincidence that the Moon was at its fullest last evening…
