For the unfamiliar, Spalding Gray was a master of the rare art of soliloquy. His famous movies SWIMMING TO CAMBODIA and GRAY'S ANATOMY (trailer below) are marathons of storytelling and pretty much the artsiest things I've really truly loved in my life. A few years after getting into this guys work, 9/11 happened and the sensitive creature that he is, couldn't take the sadness and killed himself. Gray had always been obsessed with death, owning a home that bordered on a graveyard and writing about it often. A true artists soul, gone and missed.

Oh yes, I miss Spalding too, so much. I was fortunate (or unfortunate, depending on your perspective) to attend his memorial service. There were so many people there that simply adored the man.
