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.

    I remember a night when Tom Waits played The New Yorker and because I knew Chuck Weiss, a very good friend of Tom's, he came to a party with me that Michael Burns brought Hunter Thompson to and that he hosted by up stairs of the Roots store on Avenue Rd.

Gordon Tootoosis

In the heart of Toronto, I ran an exclusive after-hours bar, a hidden gem known for its unique clientele and enigmatic charm. Gaining entry to this clandestine establishment wasn't easy; you either had to be a celebrity, most notably a musician, or have the privilege of knowing me personally. This unwritten rule provided a layer of secrecy that kept the authorities at bay for a long time. It was a sanctuary for those who craved anonymity and the freedom to unwind without the scrutiny of the public eye. One memorable evening, as I was tending to the door, a tall man donning braids and a large white cowboy hat appeared. He introduced himself in a confident yet humble manner. "Gary, you don't know me. I am Gordon Tootoosis," he said. "I am an actor, and a good actor too, I can play any tribe." His earnest declaration and imposing presence were enough for me to grant him entry. Gordon's reputation preceded him, particularly for his role in the movie Alien Th...

Elway Yost

  My sister Gaille was Elway Yost's secretary for a few years at TV Ontario. "I had the incredible opportunity to meet and engage in conversation with the talented Elwy on multiple occasions. On two separate occasions, I was even asked to be a stand-by guest for his show, Magic Shadows. Though I never had the chance to step in, just being considered by Elwy himself was an honor I will never forget. As a devoted fan of Magic Shadows from the very start, these moments were truly unforgettable.
