Who made those glorious J & E dolls?

They're not dolls, they're piñatas. I bought them from the party store, and painted one with blue eyes and black hair.
Leslie won them in the cherry cake bake-off (second prize; first prize went to Sandy and she won the drag queen sheep).

As for Springsteen's ass, that was Sandy, screen name memento (far left in the photo). She often shows up for our AIDS walks gatherings. As does Andrew. You're right, Laurel kinda disappeared.

I thought Laurel was one of the three-person team behind Finding Brokeback, the wonderful web site that diagrams all the shooting locations. I tried to contact her to ask her to take down the precise location of the stash on Brokenback Mountain before it disappeared, but there was no answer.

That's Lauren, aka tamarack (far right in the group shot above). I might have her email somewhere, if you'd like.

Ah yes, Brokie-versaries!
This December will mark the 9th anniversary of my seeing the movie for the first time, in Montclair, NJ.
The 10th is coming up!

I will probably wonder the rest of my life.

What I wonder about is how we came together in the first place. Ours never was the typical fandom, and the people who stayed around are not the kind of people who run in fandoms. I have been so blessed to meet and know people who I never would have had the chance to meet otherwise. Without Brokeback Mountain and BetterMost, I would have gone my dreary way for the rest of my life, unknown, unloved, unchallenged. Instead, a story about two lonely sheep herders, written by a fiercely unsentimental author, has changed my life forever. And the biggest change is knowing there are people like me out there, being able to reach out to them and know them, even though some have passed through only briefly and even though I may never meet some of them in so-called "real life."
