The last time I saw Kris was in the mid 90’s at the Writer’s Conference at the Women’s Building–we headed out and had a burrito together at Poncho Villa’s on 16th street and had one of those way too loud, long dialogues too raunchy to type here–she found out that I was living in the original SAMOIS house. She threw an arm over me and said “C’mon Baby Dyke…let’s go get stoned!” and laughed so hard when she saw the terrified look on my face. Kris was just plain brilliant. I moved back East in 97 and lost touch with most of my SF counterparts…I just recently learned of her passing when I gave my copy of her book to someone who was looking for it. Few people have ever made me laugh the way she did. Thank you Alison for a beautiful tribute to her–(and a “howthehellareya” while I’m at it to you and so many of the familiar names I see posted here.

Alison, thanks for the terrific strip on Kris! And hello other friends of Kris who’ve commented. I recorded several of Kris’s last shows for CDs, but have lost one of them in the interceding years. It’s “The Moshpit of Identity” — if anyone has it and can burn me a copy, please drop me a line to paullemonsf AT yahoo.

My respect for Pamela Anderson has now tripled; something I didn’t think possible. Telling Palin to “suck it.” LOL!

On a very different note, I’ve been told that I resemble Sarah Palin. Great. I’m REALLY going to butch it up between now and November 4th! Also, in Yahoo’s “Political Dashboard” today, Barak Obama would just reach 270 electoral votes (and election to the presidency) with a mere 7 more electoral votes. Two states with a combined total of just that many votes that are not included in this tally? Obama’s birth state of Hawaii, and a place called Vermont!:) I suspect Obama will carry both. Wouldn’t it be GREAT if progressive Vermont puts Obama in the White House? Here’s the link to Yahoo’s electoral map: http://news.yahoo.com/election/2008/dashboard

On another note, my copy of State by State arrived yesterday.I did the quick read of Alison’s chapter for overview, and a more detailed read this morning. This is a truly wonderful portrait, which I was placing in memory next to the brief stays I have had in Vermont over the past few years. (My daughter is a junior at Green Mountain College in Poultney, and is looking forward to reading the chapter as well.)I was glad to see the independent stores in Montpelier; on my first run down the main drag of Rutland, it was as if I had never left home (Philadelphia) because of all the chain hotels and restaurants. The view of the mountains from Route 4, however, was breathtaking and had me thinking “This is what the earth looked like before we fucked it up.”

I miss Kris so much, Allison. Your post has me in tears. I’m so glad you’re running the Maypole ragged, though, and I hope you had a swellegant birthday. I still want to get that shirt on your back.

If you go to the Lock Haven Express website (www dot lockhaven dot) and search for “the world according to stan” to find an interesting article about an art profesor who may seem familar to readers of Fun Home.
