Footnotes
- I had already experienced suicide in my New York life with such friends as Performance artist Ethyl Eichelberger and architect Jimmy Dollar III. I would experience it in Europe as well where I lost my close friend and confidante Eddie de Zoete in Utrecht the Netherlands in April of 2010. An attempt towards closure proved inspirational as well- noted in my diary-blog: Dutch excursion and Suicide"
