Bio
Anne is originally from Ann Arbor, MI. She graduated from Grinnell in '96 as Anne Gay. She married Grinnell classmate Bill Murphy in 2001 and changed her name to take his. They were divorced in 2008. That's one thread.
Anne is closest in nature/energy to Scott Hamilton, aka Blade, of all the back tablers. Anne and Janann Dawkins remain close as well.
Like a number of backtable types, Anne was a member of the SCA during her time at Grinnell, a theater geek, and a computer User Consultant (Mac, PC, and SUN/Unix). She was also a vaxgod, and a member of the Grinnell Singers. For a while she was a physics major, but she graduated with a history degree. She had four supervisors: Paula Smith, John D. Stone, Charles Cunningham, and Andrew Hseih. Loki left the Science Fiction Club in her hands, and she also founded a Grinnell Space Society/club that presumably died when she left. Later she went on to become a full-fledged smof, running science fiction conventions and groups right and left.
Unlike many backtable types, Anne doesn't watch TV. But she's glad the backtable introduced her to MST3K and numerous other cultural references that make it easier to understand other geeks.
- If I were to dance for you
- As hard as that would be to do
- Would you watch?
