Domingo Soto: Because Freedom Isn't Dumb

HUNTER THOMPSON'S FINAL GONZO ACT
"Things are shaping up nicely for Hunter Thompson's final blast-off this Saturday. Hunter's ashes have been placed in 34 shells custom-designed by Zambelli Fireworks Internationale. The shells will be launched from a monument modeled after Thompson's Gonzo logo: a clenched fist, made symmetrical with the addition of a second thumb, perched atop a dagger.
Actor Johnny Depp is funding the event, which organizers estimate will cost roughly $2.5 million, to fulfill the vision that Thompson detailed in a 1978 BBC documentary and to his friends and family leading up to his suicide."
