Inspiration from Alison and Owen

I remember when I first recognized Alison Pill in the film Milk a few years ago how taken I was with her. I'd seen her in something else before, but I didn't remember what (and still don't). Regardless, she spoke to me for some reason. Then she was on Broadway in The Miracle Worker, the first play I read as a kid in Mrs. Hines' fifth grade English class. I loved it then, and when I read it again later, but since the performance was less than stellar on Broadway and my taste in writing has since evolved, I was much less impressed this time. But Alison was brilliant, of course. She also popped up in one of Owen Pallett's videos, peeking in through a window and dancing with a bottle of Crush soda. When I saw that, the love was cemented, and naturally I had to pay tribute.


Owen is playing a show at Webster Hall on April 22 that I'm going to, hoping Alison is there so I can officially start stalking her. Just saying.
