The lovely Elena. Queen of Cool, Lord of Lumpia, Friend of Fitz--Elena friggin' rocks. Rahul introduced us in 1994. She is a hyper-involved, hyper-intelligent, hyper-hilarious human being. She is also in possession of a damn fine voice, as evidenced in the sweet background vocals she recorded for my "Copasetic" CD in 1999. I don't see her much these days, which is a shame. Elena is great.
