Gonzo king to go out with a bang

Written by:Chris Mitchell.

The Guardian reports
Hunter S. Thompson’s final wish will be granted when his ashes are blasted from a giant cannon. Apparently it’s scheduled to happen in August and one of Hunter’s neighbours has already offered free camping space for those wanting to come and witness the Gonzo-fist shaped cannon go off. I’m seriously tempted. Very seriously tempted. Someone commission me to go, dammit.
