[-empyre-] Nick Waterlow's death

[Nicholas Roberts]

my x was working with nick many years ago in Sydney, during a festival, and
he often took the time to REALLY talk and listen to people outside of the
elite arts and society circles of which he often would circulate in his
duties and passions as a curator, administrator, wise man...I really liked
the guy..
