remembering brigit

a collection of ephemera

Doesn't everyone have a 7 foot tall transgendered superhero in their life?  Mine passed away last week while she was cooking dinner.  I am a better person for having known her, and the world is worse for her no longer being in it.

Brigit was pioneer in everything she did, and to me she was a superstar, a sister, a parent, and BFF.  Miss you, girl :'(

  1. i knew brigit very well , we lived together in oakland for almost 2 years and i did sound for her , and she will be missed , the one thing i will always remember was one night at BAGG in the early days at the tracadero , we were setting up for a show , while doing sound check , she was reving the drill and saying " test , test " after about the thrid time i walked down from the booth and stood at the base of the stage , looked up 11 feet to her and said with my straight face "This is NOT a test .... THIS is a DRILL"
