Posted: 1/28/05 at 10:43amI went to college with Nicole. We were friends in college although i am sorry to say we didnt keep in touch too much after. Nicole was one of the most talented, geniune and intelligent people i have ever had the pleasure to know. I was completely shocked last night when i saw it on the news. Tragic beyond words.

So sad. Very tragic.
"The Spectacle has, indeed, an emotional attraction of its own, but, of all the parts, it is the least artistic, and connected least with the art of poetry. For the power of Tragedy, we may be sure, is felt even apart from representation and actors. Besides, the production of spectacular effects depends more on the art of the stage machinist than on that of the poet."

Thats is so sad and scary I was mugged not long ago by two men with a huge knife. I actually fought back with pepper spray and self defense I had learned,got the knife and turned it on them. They ran away scared and threw my purse back at me. This story makes me thank my lucky stars that i'm not dead right now.

"At the opening night party, they had clowns on stilts, jugglers, a chocolate fountain, popcorn, hot dogs. [My son] looked at me like I had been holding back. Like, 'This is what you do?' I had to tell him, 'No, no, darling. Opening nights don't usually look like this.' It's usually a dark bar with a bottle of vodka." ?Chitty Chitty Bang Bang's Jan Maxwell
