Stumbling the Walk
Chris La Tray
Has been known to bound across the rock stage like a runaway truck tire, has lived on a reservation in Montana and with reservations in Ohio, and always flies first class, even when wedged into the unreclining seat near the bathroom.

When not jet-setting around the country as a data collection consultant, Chris La Tray is writing and recording songs in three different rock bands, fuming over political shenanigans as depicted in various online blogs, and kicking himself for not being the writer to pitch the Dungeons and Dragons piece that appeared in Believer magazine. A Frenchtown graduate, he ended a promising career at the University of Montana (consisting of skipping class and playing intermural soccer all day) in order to chase the rock and roll dream in Seattle, arriving just before flannel went bigtime. Unfortunately, he and his bandmates had only packed spandex. Since then he has lived in and visited enough regions in the USA to realize that Missoula and Montana really are the Last Best Place, and intends to remain, even if it leaves him naked but for a loincloth.
