Update: GonzoFest has been postponed.
It’s that time of year: GonzoFest!
I went to the 2nd Annual GonzoFest last year and it was great.
It was so popular last year that they’ve split it into two separate 4-hour sessions: 11-3 and 5-9. June 19, by the way.
All proceeds go to the Gonzo Foundation:
The mission of the Gonzo Foundation is to promote literature, journalism, and political activism through the legacy of Hunter S. Thompson.
By hosting events at high schools, colleges, and public libraries to highlight the life and times of Hunter, the Gonzo Foundation plans to encourage young adults to pursue the study of journalism and provide scholarships to financially deserving journalism students. Collegiate journalism departments across the country attribute much of the interest students have in journalism to Hunter. The foundation will also promote the works of other notable American writers, as Hunter is often studied alongside the likes of H.L. Mencken, Truman Capote, Mark Twain, F. Scott Fitzgerald, Tom Wolfe, Jack Kerouac, David Halberstam, and Doris Kearns Goodwin.
Established in 2005 by Anita Thompson, Hunter S. Thompson’s widow, the Gonzo Foundation is primarily supported by Flying Dog Brewery. In addition to Gonzofest, all proceeds from every Flying Dog’s Gonzo Imperial Porter – brewed in commemoration of Hunter – sold benefit the foundation.
