Blankha 'San Fran' Thelander is
(c)2005 Amanda Lee HarigALL RIGHTS RESERVED Blankha "San Fran" Thelander was born and raised in the remains of the metropolis that had been known as 'San Fransisco' years before her childhood. And while her heart remained somewhere in those lost piles of rubble and erupted cement and babbling brooks through over-grown storm drains, the gregarious red-head fell in love with another: the sultry, sophisticated tastes and compositions that flourished in New Orleans.
Throughout all the wars, the pestilence and social breakdowns, New Orleans remained the nearly unscathed. It was as though the roots of the rich concoctions of folk were far too strong and proud to be eroded by chaos and anarchy -- or it could've very well been the simple fact that the peoples were above such depraved behavior. As things recovered from the nasty blows dealt to the Americas through Nuclear and Chemical warfare, the cultured city bounced back faster than anybody could've fathomed, doubling its splendor and allure and in the process: making history.
"San Fran" lived a lifetime in those heady swamps and lavish casinos.
A life lived, a life loved.
A life decomposed.
Hoodoo.
