The Running of the Mullets
That’s what they used to call Ptown’s Women’s Week, years and years ago. And you know who they are. But this year, with the glorious blue sky, sunny warm days and full fall color spectrum as thier background, the women of Women’s Week were mostly mulletless and gorgeous. And from all over the county – Texas, California, Vermont, Staten Island…

Private Internet Chat With Kate Clinton: A Success Story
We had a blast. Until Oct 18th Kate was a chat room virgin. She was joined by eleven other chatters and for a full 90 minutes the conversation was flowing. Visitors were quick, funny and so right on about our world as we see it today. Kate was laughing so hard, she had to head right to the shop and get a new keyboard. Thank you for joining in and keep your eyes open for our next chat!

On A Serious Note: Marriage Rights and Security
===========================================
[Photo: prudential-logo.gif]
Kate recently served as the Keynote Speaker and moderated a discussion at Prudentials Newark headquarters presenting a symposium for Domestic Partners (GLBT or otherwise) that face challenges protecting their medical, financial and material assets due to the fact that they are not married in the eyes of the law. The evening was presented by EAGLES (Employee Association of Gay Men, Lesbians, Bisexuals and Transgenders) in partnership with the E/O Diversity Office.
[Photo: IMG_1385.jpg]
Kate’s hosts for the evening Gloria McDonald (Finance), Mary Ianelli (President of EAGLES) and Peter Trost (Director of Employee Development of Prudential) help to create outreach to all diversity groups within Prudential. They were the perfect hosts with a pre-talk reception followed by a delicious dinner buffet for all. For more information contact:

Rock The Boat
Hi Kate,
Well, you were right.. now that we’ve been off the boat since Friday, all of the women look like lesbians… too bad they’re not. And we are definitely struggling without our omelletier. Bedtime is really a letdown without our towel origami , but we are learning to adapt. I do think the funniest thing I have ever seen, is you interpreting for Vickie Shaw during OldyWeds/NewlyWeds. We are still getting a lot of mileage out of that evening.
So, it is back to our near perfect life in St.Helena, CA… we call it Pleasantville. And, we will save our $$ for the next Olivia Cruise Greece, or perhaps we’ll wait until Oliava heads to New Zealand. So, thanks again to you and the other performers for making our trip so much fun, and hilarious as well.
Regards until next time,
Mary Jane & Mary Beth

MySpace Connections
I was so glad to see you have a MySpace site. I can finally thank you for the MAJOR boost to my self esteem you gave me about 13 years ago. You were in Ann Arbor, MI at the Ark. I was waiting for my friends to get out of the bathroom when you came up to me and said the most flattering things I have ever heard. Thank you for that! I was walking taller by the time I left there and I am already 6′ tall… LOL

A Blast From The Past
[Photo: king picture.jpg]
I am a 1979 JD graduate. My best friend, Rhonda Katzoff and myself, Cindy Minechelli had the absolute pleasure of knowing you in high school. I know you have seen millions of students, so you probably will have to look us up in the year book…and by the way all three of us, (you, me and Rhonda) are still gorgeous! One of our fav memories of you is getting over the intercom after school and saying “Earth, earth to Ms. Spillane!” I was the girl who worked in the office after school, sliding out my and Rhonda’s skip notices or any bad report to the floor on the other side to be retrieved and destroyed! If you tell anyone I will deny it! LOL! ‚Ä®
You were a hoot back than and still are. When Rinker suspended me for smoking in the girls bathroom, you told me and Rhonda, “Hey, I was just making the peace sign and the cig fell from the ceiling”, Gosh I wish I had thought of that because my parents were not too happy!!! ‚Ä®
I had the pleasure of seeing you on Maury and Rhonda actually got to see one of your shows. ‚Ä®
I cannot believe you are living in P-town! You go Girl! I have been blessed with some awesome relationships with my gay friends and love them immensely. My husband tells me I have more gay male friends… he laughs and I tell him, Listen they are the experts on how to accessorize and will tell you if you look like shit without blinking an eye! ‚Ä®
Anyway, just wanted to let you know, that you have left a footprint on my heart, those JD days basically sucked in my book. I was the new kid in 10th grade and the clickity clicks were awful! If I knew then, what I know now… it would not have hurt me so much! ‚Ä®
My hubby’s parents own a house in Brewster, so we have been to P-town a bunch of times! I am going to check out your touring schedule, I would love to see you, you are one of the people I have met in my life that I will never forget.
Respectfully, 
Blast from the past, Cindy King (Minechelli)
