“I never stopped smiling or giggling when I was with Vince,” says Vincentfest co-organizer Leigh Anne Balzekas. “Even with the heavy stuff—when we were having intense conversations—he made fun of everything in such a good way.”“Vince was a genius for fun,” Gordon echoes.
That’s what Gordon and Balzekas hope to bring with Vincentfest—fun in the form of everything Kral loved. As Gordon’s selections show, Kral had many different inspirations and creative outlets, from music to movies to performance, costumes, photography, painting, prints, vintage toys and technology.—Jennifer Ring
