it has occurred to me that i was on occasion using the guestbook on the site for notices and / or semi rants. no, not really, i would never rant...
so as part of the total update and conversion of the site, i'm adding a blog - as the predicted demise of blogs has not occurred.
please feel free to write to the blog. almost anything is acceptable except adult content and flaming. if you have close encounters of the Spalding kind, please write them. i can then also transfer them to the site. poetry - great! general fan writings - great.
writings when you are depressed and suicidal are accepted - however, i strongly encourage you to go to someone you trust. we will eventually have a depression site on the page with excellent resources, but for now i would say write email to the british online support group, http://www.samaritans.org/ - excellent group.
or call your local help line. just call someone. there are many of us who miss Spalding...people will miss you, no matter what...
so welcome to the blog and please do visit www.spaldinggray.com, the official site for Spalding Gray and his Estate. we love it if you sign the guestbook.

There is a wonderful story about Spalding on this week's "This American Life" which can be downloaded here:
http://www.thisamericanlife.org/Radio_Episode.aspx?episode=369
Act Two. Winged Migration.
Kathie Russo’s husband was Spalding Gray, who was best known for delivering monologues onstage—like "Monster in a Box," and "Swimming to Cambodia." On January 10, 2004, he went missing. Witnesses said they saw him on the Staten Island Ferry that night. Two months later, his body was pulled out of the East River. Kathie tells the story of the night he disappeared, and about how, in the weeks following, she and each of their three children were visited by a bird, who seemed to be delivering a message to them. (10 minutes)
