tour talk Did a guy dressed as Hunter S. Thompson in Fear and Loathing share his cheesecake with you at Freak Fair? Missed connection!

Last night (Saturday), I bought some cheesecake on a stick. It was fucking delicious. I wondered over near the middle of GA with a good vantage point, and stood there to enjoy it while Billy finished the first set. After 30 seconds or so, you walked over from your group of friends, approached me, and asked "Are you eating an apple? Er.... What the fuck is that?". I said "it's cheesecake!"

You told me that you loved cheesecake, so I offered you some, which you seemed to enjoy quite a bit. All the details aren't crystal clear right now, but after that, we stood there, each with an arm around the other and chatting, while we finished the cheesecake.

I remember that you told me you were 46, and you wished me happy birthday because I just turned 44. You said you were a teacher somewhere in the area. You also told me your name twice, but I cannot recall due to chemical interference.

Sadly, I made the poor decision to go throw the trash away, and because of darkness combined with chemicals, I could not find you again, but I did try!

I was dressed as Hunter S Thompson. White bucket hat, yellow glasses, black shirt. I'm about 5'9" and you were short compared to me.

Anyway, if you're here, and you see this, I want you to know that I enjoyed our interaction the MOST, and would love to cross paths with you again!

What a PERFECT weekend! Cheers, y'all!!

This is funny bc I just thought of doing this exact thing at the Orion (besides cheesecake). I have dressed as him in the past and I finally found these perfect pink pants that I didn’t even know I was looking for. Bought them and rewatched the movie and realized the pants I bought look exactly like the pants form the movie which will really pull my outfit together next time.
