Spalding Gray 1941-2004
Great creative monologuist Spalding Gray, who went missing in January, was found dead today in New York. He likely jumped off the Staten Island Ferry. He was supposed to have been skiing in Colorado, but his flight was delayed because of weather, so he went to see "Big Fish" instead. Makes you wonder if things might have turned out differently if the weather had been better, or if he'd gone to a different movie.
sad.
sad for his kids.
sad for his art.
Very sad. His friend John Perry Barlow has written of Spalding's depression and disappearance, but nothing since this announcement.
