I just met with Jim Osborn and Levi. Jim is an advisor to the LGBTA and Levi is a board member- both were here when Matthew was murdered. Jim was at the center of all the attention. He knew Matt, organized Angel Action with Romaine, knows everyone at the university, and was interviewed consistently by Moises Kaufman as well as numerous other media outlets. I feel much closer to everything that happened having talked to him. They were both very engaging to talk with. I'm surprised with all that Jim has to say and with the intelligent and colorful way he talks that he's not a character in The Laramie Project, but he says it doesn't bother him. He had enough attention as it is. He felt very disillusioned by the media, but felt that Tectonic really did things right and that The Laramie Project is a very beautiful and honest piece about Laramie. He had great insights into what the play was doing and what the movies were doing.
