"When
I was initially approached about the Spitfire Tour, the first
thing that came into my thoughts was when Abbey Hoffman and
Hunter S. Thompson came to speak in Seattle in the early 80's.
At the time I was in Aberdeen and couldn't make it to the
UW. I did read about it though in the Rocket. It was a boisterous
political forum featuring leaders of the counterculture. If
Spitfire could be anything like that, it sounded like it was
worth the shot."
