"the brian story"


november 9th

ABOUT THIS TIME LAST YEAR I met an inmate whose whole name I can no longer recollect. I think his first name was Brian. VERY SMART, he's hardly ever leave his room, always reading.

THE DOPE: Brian worked at PASTA JAYS in Fort Collins during XMAS '96. Brian said JAY ELOWSKY visited the store often and spoke to the managers on the phone DAILY. When the murder and subsequent publicity happened, the employees naturally began to discuss the case. Brian said the managers who talked to Elowsky daily participated in the conversations, the focus of which was "PATSY DID IT," right from get go.

If there was much more, time has erased it from my memory. I can add this: At some point, I ASSUME it was after my Jan. 16th '98 sentencing, I wrote down the Brian story with his FULL NAME and I sent it to the DAs office as an example of the type of things I'd been hearing ALL alone and in a way to SHOW how my interest in the case is CONTINUALLY changed by the ENVIRONMENT I'm in.

Further: Brian was still in the jail, but he lived in a different module and worked in the kitchen (which I had never set foot in at that point).

One day while discussing case with a guard in the hall, I told the guard the Brian story. The guard called him out of the kitchen for a moment to let me talk to him. I hadn't talked to him in months. I told him that I had written what he told me down and sent it first to DAs and then later to media. He was shocked because he had said to WAIT 'til his case was RESOLVED. I'd ASSUMED he was DONE in court but he wasn't.


Footnote: After Brian did resolve his case and he go OUT, I later heard PASTA JAY got him a job at CU.


NEW SUBJECT: What brought BLUE LOU back to life last Sunday however Veiled?

One day inmates with PENDING CASES will put their version of "WHAT HAPPENED" on the WEB their legal papers. There's MORE REASONS than the fact that it's RAMSEY O'CLOCK to watch this site.


TWO FINAL ITEMS:

1) If that new moustachioed jackass that keeps trying to talk to me is a cop: GET him OUTTA HERE.

2) I used to draw little cartoons, stuff them in embalming fluid bottles and hide them under casketed corpsey lorpsey for burial. Its all about the FUTURE for me.
