      How about we all com down? I cant believe this is what they wanted for us, not now when there exists a tyrannical government structure controlling the institutions that matter, namely ebay, the thrift store black market, and the pet food supply...

      We must not accept this-we must onionize, band together- write letters to our congressfriends and wait for replies.

      patiently

    I'm sorry to report that Alexandra Lulu Orange died more than a year ago. I assume this was from illness that developed in the early 2000's. This news came to me today, third-hand from my friend Charles, who got it from John Billings, also from the days of sixdegrees. She was one of my best friends then, and I was a frequent contributor to the 6D group "abattoir." The planned separate web site/e-book (slaughterhouse.org) never really took off. She and John Weede started electricant.com, which hosted a Situationist/Psychogeographic resource (it is available at archive.org), and also ran a Yahoo group which still exists and has been taken over by spam. Alexandra later formed a dada group on LiveJournal called "maslakh" under the user name "rumcherry." She wrote about plans to marry sometime around 2002-2003. All the LiveJournal stuff is gone, as far as I know. No one knows what happened to John. They lived in Harrisonburg, VA, or thereabouts.

    Were you in "abattoir" 6D? I used my real name, Laurie, of course. I still have a huge print-out binder of everything from that group and where it originated, stevenallenmay's g[a]rble. My writings from then are posted at msggoat.livejournal.com.

    Sorry again to deliver bad news. I am devastated.

      Hi.

      She and I were internet friends and talked on the phone frequently in the late 90s early 2000s. We met through ICQ (who does that anymore?) and bonded over our love of Dada and the absurdists, and talked about how to bring more Dada into our modern lives.

      Though our friendship was remote and all too brief, she touched my heart. Quite a remarkable person.

      She disappeared, then reappeared briefly to apologize for disappearing, telling me she and John were researching slave cemeteries, then disappeared again.

      I posted this thread hoping it would find its way through cyberspace to someone who would give me news. Thank you so much, Laurie. Now I can have closure.

        Of course. It drove me mad to not know where/how she was, especially after knowing how ill she was, and your post here is the first online mention of her in years. She was brilliant, and touched me too, like a mysterious, low light. (And yeah, we usually communicated via ICQ.)

    Hello again ---

    I'm not sure if you caught the comment made below. Some friends of Lulu have just started a memorial web site: timeoutatsea.org. It's entirely collaborative and organic, and anyone who knew her is welcome to contribute memories, writing, images, etc.

    Her voice was very very soft. When I talked to her on the phone, I had to go into the innermost room of my apartment and shut the door, otherwise I couldn't hear her over the traffic.
