brief Hunter S. Thompson recollection

August 1995: we are in the wilds of Las Vegas, New Mexico, and strych9 is standing up at the disorganised open mic setup that someone threw together reading from Fear And Loathing In Las Vegas, the bit where they're driving up and down the strip in the road whale and Thompson decides that the tires need more pressure.

R.I.P., Thompson.
