I have to stick my two cents in here. I have known Kris for many years and can not type fast enough to say all of the good things there are to say about her so I will stick to the subject at hand. Kris gave up a good job at New Times to come to work for me at Shadow Lounge. She didn't do it for money...she did it because she had a love of Dance Music and the scene that surrounds it. She jumped in with both feet and worked her ass off to make the scene better. She has earned the respect of every DJ and manager who she came in contact with. She has made a contribution to us all. When we sold Shadow, Kris had planned to move to New York to work for a label. She had several offers. Liquid sought her out and made her an offer she couldn't refuse. Not only good money, but an opportunity to put forth her vision of what music can be. She took the offer and you know the rest. I have stayed in close touch with Kris since Shadow closed and I have been there to offer advice to her while she has made these decisions. She was never happy at Liquid. She was frustrated and miserable. Luis offered her a position before Emi left and she accepted it with the same attitude she has done everything else...enthusiasm for the opportunity to make the scene better for us all. I, for one, am a little jealous that she is working for Luis because I know her value. I wish her the best and I am glad to have people like her shaping the scene down here. Kris, don't listen to any of the bullshit. Those of us who know you know that you are for real. Dade Sokoloff
