Sorry..........my presence here lately has been lazy and I missed your comment.........and I have NOTHING to compare with your Ginsberg story, or any of Gary's or Billy's stories. I suppose I could have if I had a more extrovertish personality. I once passed Mike Wallace on the sidewalk in Martha's Vineyard. I didn't say anything to him.........imagine if I had.......Well, I did come face to face with Mike Tyson in the Apple store in Phoenix. I just stared. I wanted to say how much I'd liked him in Black & White but wasn't sure I remembered the correct name of the movie........
So there you have it.........an introvert with a bad memory just doesn't have these kinds of stories to tell..
As to the Couch..........I just watched The Sweet Hereafter for the third or fourth time. I just love that movie. I never met Atom Egoyan but a good friend of mine looks like him....(does that count for anything?) |

My favorite celebrity-sighting story (stop me if I've posted this before):
A friend saw Ruth Gordon, the Broadway luminary, co-writer of Adam's Rib and later Oscarwinner for Rosemary's Baby.
My friend: "Miss Gordon, I don't know what to say. I think you're great."
Gordon: "That's a start."
Love it. |

Sorry Bart, but the forums are only big enough for one yellow dog lover. If you want me to pick up on your posts in future your gonna have to get yourself an Afghan or a pug.
On the subject of disposing of golden labradors or retrievers, "Old Yellar" is one of my earliest recollections of a film making me cry. |

I've never seen Old Yeller, so please don't tell me how it ends.
Jeremy, I'll check with Vincent and see if he would be amenable to being dyed a tranquil shade of blue. He has already nixed grey, as he is anxious about being mistaken for a greyhound. Or I could just get Salma Hayek in a corset for my avatar, and then be assured of your complete and undivided attention.

I tried shrinking this, but it didn't work well, and there are too many here who remember the unfortunate incident of the giant dog.
Sweet dreams. |

Bart,
It's Allen.
For one summer in the early 70s I managed the Hotel Boulderado in Boulder, Colorado. Several poets stayed there while conducting workshops at The Jack Kerouac School Of Disembodied Poetics at the Naropa Institute. I came to know two of them rather well: Allen Ginsberg and William Burroughs. I also met and hung out with Gregory Corso and Peter Orlovsky. |

Oh the heck with this.
I thought Bart was a cat lover.
I also have a black and white dog.
My ex-husband played chess in New Canaan, CT with Dave Brubeck. He sat next to Bob Dylan at a bar in Greenwich Village. He carried Andy Warhol's ad portfolios around New York City. And he talked to Mike Wallace. He was also known for fabricating. |

Marc,
Didn't you once say Burroughs creeped you out? |

That's quite a lineup Marc.
After I interviewed Tuli of the Fugs, he suggested I try to interview Ginsberg and gave me his address which was across and just down the street from him. This was summer of '69. When I knocked on the door and Orlofsky answered. He told me that Allen was out of town. Pleasant fellow. We talked for about a minute and said our goodbyes.
I was surprised that Ginsberg lived in such a rundown place, but I guess I shouldn't have been. |

I figured Marc or Gary or Billy would blow my childhood brush with Ginsberg out of the water. Little did I know that it would be Marc who would correct my spelling!
I've made the same error with Edgar Allen Poe, and eventually learned, so there's hope.
BEFADE: I AM A CAT LOVER. Vincent, my avatar, is the famous dog who pops in and out of the jungle, sometimes having retrieved strange objects, on the series, "Lost." Chess with Dave Brubeck is really cool -- I'd actually trade a couple of Beat encounters for one chess match and chat with Brubeck. |

'Fraid not, if that's the way you're still spelling Edgar Allan Poe. ROTFLMAO. |
