Mik

There is a most tangled apartment tale in our little Kilometer Zero family. Once upon a time, the young lion Adrian found a wondrous apartment at 10 rue Legouve in the 10th arrondissement of Paris. He lived, wrote and celebrated there for a a year or so, and then the lovely Musa joined him in co-habitation. When those two left, the apartment was passed to the Mighty Quinn and his ladyfriend and it became the temporary office of Kilometer Zero. They too enjoyed the apartment until an event that shall not be spoken of occurred, at which time the apartment went to our dear friend Sparkle Hayter. She too lived in the apartment for a nice moment until circumstances forced her to leave. That was when Mik came into the picture.

Mik is an actress who once performed her Jackie Kennedy piece at the Venue series and went on to work with Adrian on Three Parts. She had our cherished apartment for barely a month when the landlord - and I will resist the urge to use pejoratives here - decided she had enough of writers, jugglers and actors and announced she would be selling the apartment. Of course, she never sold the apartment, she just used it as an excuse to evict us. So, I, at least, am a little sad and bitter about losing the family apartment.

All that is just an exhausting way to say that I met Mik in Seattle and she is as wonderful and charming as ever and is currently working with her new performance, Split Second, which is certainly sublime. (www.mikkuhlman.com)
