Laura Mattingly saw the underside of many large bridges during her float from Kansas City to New Orleans. She wrote for the Metro Santa Cruz Newspaper for a while in CA. There were no notable bridges in this town except for the wharf, which she considers to be a one sided bridge. She now lives in New Orleans and pours booze for a living, helping bridge the gap between sobriety and intoxication. She used to edit the magazine Artvoices.
