The key to Crazytown is scheduled to be given to Erin SonofThor. A New Paltz Alumni, Erin has been clean and sober for nearly one year. She has also displayed a remarkable turn-around in her dealings with the public and in her outlook on life. Previously, Erin could be found at the nearest hole-in-the-wall bar, scowling at people for enjoying themselves. Pulling all-nighters (or frequent 4-dayers) often contributed to Erin’s manner of hostility and lack of people skills. Exactly how she managed to work in a customer-service related field at all continues to allude the nation’s finest scholars.
Somewhere along the way, complete sobriety snuck in under Erin’s radar, and with the aid of magic spells and meetings, her new leaf remains unturned. In addition to her sobriety, Erin savors life, like delectable cuisine. Having always been an athlete, she maintains the lifestyle of a serious outdoorswoman. Occasionally, she awakes at 7 to run up mountains, then coaches a swim team, then gardens, and on the weekends she guides whitewater rafting tours . She skis as much as possible, is on the path to receiving her MBA, and in her spare time reads mystery books. Even Erin’s wardrobe has changed, perhaps due to her part-time job as a fashion and lifestyle model. Gone are the days of her only wearing tye-dye men’s teeshirts and other attire purchased on her journeys to the Isle of Lesbos. Having been brought to concerts all her life by her Deadhead parents, the hippie in her has not disappeared, but it has matured. She can occasionally be seen wearing fashionable (but not too fashionable) and feminine (but not too feminine) outfits. Pink was a sin to be scoffed at with the old Erin, but Erin the new dons it with a smile.
“It is of the utmost honor and privilege to be nominated…. “ a beaming Erin said when asked for comment. The will be handed over by Crazytown Mayor Lupe O’Mullen.
