Good-bye, Louise
Louise died yesterday. Her 57th birthday was last Sunday. I've known Louise for a bazillion years because we are/were/awwwk part of this community's artists, although we were not what I would call friends. Part of the same tiny group of artists for years, yes, and we knew each other well, and had spoken many times. We had friends in common. We were casually friendly, yes. But true friends -- no. Kath just told me -- and I started weeping, much to my surprise. I read somewhere that all tears are self-pity -- I wouldn't doubt it. I just tried to find a flyer from a show we were in -- the picture had "Local Girls" around an old Cadillac. You couldn't see the car, but it was there. When I find it I'll scan it and post it.
