Your Flight Attendants
Katherine Phelps (Muse)
The mad creative spirit who committed this atrocity together with
Xanni. She has been the owner of her own publishing company for five
years and a professional writer for well over ten. Her background is
diverse and peculiar. Her mother was an art teacher, so she grew up
learning intimately about the relationship between paint and canvas.
She modelled for over seven years for a Finnish artist and upon
occasion is still inspired to model for the Victorian Artists Society.
For most of her young life she took ballet lessons until it became
obvious that she was going to be too tall for classical dance, so she
switched to opera. Amazingly, she did quite well and even received a
scholarship to study with a soloist from the San Francisco Opera.
However, her constant love remained writing and in June 1985 she
received a bachelors in literature with creative writing emphasis and
departmental and college honors from the University of Washington. In
1988 she received an MFA in creative writing, also from the University
of Washington. Her book Surf's Up: Internet Australian Style
was published by Reed Books in April 1995.
Katherine is a neo-phile, fringe-phile, xenophile, creative artist,
philosopher and aspires someday to becoming a Discordian saint. She
absolutely adores animation, puppetry and humor which is why she runs
the successful Gummi Bear Fan Club. She is known to hang out at
the Chinese Cinema and has a weakness for vegetarian sushi. Her
favourite colour is usually blue, but likes wearing psychedelics. She
plans on making lots of money by having the most fun possible.
Andrew Pam (Xanni)
Andrew first discovered an interest in boolean logic when his mother
carried him in her arms at just the right height to reach light
switches as they passed through doorways. He was lucky enough to go to
a school with an obsolete PDP/8e: switches, lights, core memory, paper
tape, punched cards and all. He first started programming on a TRS-80
model 1 level I and the first computer he owned was a Commodore
VIC-20. Since then he's had a go at nearly everything in the micro
field and has been a professional computer consultant under the name of
Serious Cybernetics for
over a decade, getting his first job even before leaving high
school. He ran a FidoNet BBS for seven years and has recently been
heavily involved in the Internet.
Andrew is a neo-phile, fringe-phile, xenophile subculture junkie with
delusions of being an incarnation of Monkey. He is co-founder of the
Gummi Bear Fan Club and has been known to publish a fanzine on
at least three occasions. His favourite colour is grey - no, no,
blue! Aaaarrgghhhhh.....
