Who is this woman? Never heard of her. Really.

I have no clue; I don't think we even know anybody who knows her!

NEW YORK (AP) It wasn't just the Republicans having the parties this past weekend. The counter-conventioners did, too.

The Imagine Festival of Arts, Issues and Ideas held a raucous party Saturday night at the club Crobar, where a giant screen beamed photos from the Iraq war including coffins carrying dead U.S. soldiers as guests danced around a man on stilts dressed as Uncle Sam. Actor Kathleen Chalfant addressed the mix of celebration and anxiety that reflects New York City's mood this week.

"I think the sense of festivity is very thin. All of us believe we're living at a time of great danger, great pain and the possibility of great disaster," said Chalfant, who is scheduled to appear Monday with Marisa Tomei in a Lincoln Center reading of Sophocles' Greek tragedy "Electra," followed by a discussion on violence, retribution and compassion.
