Now let’s talk Bill Murray, who portrayed Thompson in Where The Buffalo Roam. A viral video campaign urging Bill Murray to attend this year’s festival is making the rounds and they are calling it Bill To The Ville! Even the mayor of Louisville has gotten behind #billtotheville.
The team behind GonzoFest has also launched an IndieGoGo campaign to support the creation of a bronze statue of the Louisville native, Hunter S. Thompson as well as benefit The Gonzo Foundation.
