Hunter S. Thompson

Hunter S. Thompson was a guest on the Peter Czowski show the same night as Tom Waits. Somebody from the show gave a special party for Hunter and I was invited as a special guest for some reason too. I got to sit beside Hunter on Large chesterfield in front of a long coffee table. Tom Waits was on the other side. I had a camera bag full of cold mini Henkel Trokens and we sipped those Hunter also had a large glass of Wild Turkey. We smoked some dope and watched as every newcomer to the party came up to Hunter to say hello and give him something. I couldn't believe the variety. Acid ,speed, tranks, quaaluds ups downs whatever. he just said thanks and popped them in to his mouth whatever it was. I swear he took everyone. later I remember talking to Tom Waites, he was just as amazed as I was. Hunter was staying at the Windsor Arms and kept checking there for messages to Dr Thompson. As the party wound down and pretty well emptied out. he looked at me and said. What will we do now? I said lets go to my bar I'm good till seven in the morning or so. Ok he sighed but WHAT will I do then? Thats when I knew I was in trouble.
