ALICE Revisited

After my last post, I thought I would have another try at chatting with ALICE, and see if she remembered our last meeting. Most disappointing, she didn't remember a thing. The conversation got very confused, especially when Koze Kohime came along - poor ALICE really had a hard time responding to both of us, and making sense of our conversation, as you can see from the transcript below.

Incidentally, in reading up for this, I dug out the lyrics for White Rabbit, and discovered that the wonderful Grace Slick is now a professional artist. Here are a couple of her pictures of the original Alice, with her own comments.

First, with the White Rabbit:

On the strong Knee of my own curiosity, I will find the most exquisite friend.
The fat fluffy dream carries me through all the illusive rides this life offers. Some call them trials, I call them adventures.
An elaborate cartoon, let the stories continue! -Grace Slick

and emerging (rezzing?) through the mirror

It seems that the desire to really find oneself is at the heart of the mirror story. Although very often we are just as deep or shallow on the other side, we keep trying to uncover some spectacular unknown quality that makes us who we are. _Grace Slick

For ALICE fans everywhere, here's the transcript. Thanks to Koze for her contribution.
