Beverly Babb
One-time bike messenger in Chicago (might still be), did performance art for the Stalkers, and wrote a fanzine by the same name. The Stalker(s) was a fanzine deciated to hating Urge Overkill, while the perfomrnace/band dressed up like Urge Overkill and mocked them in live perfomances. She moved to Austin, with her cohort Karol Cooper. (See: http://www.addict.com/issues/1.12/Columns/Hitsville/ She and Karol Cooper staged a wedding in which they were going to offer to marry Blackie and Kato of Urge, and if that happened stalking would end. If they didn't get married, then the stalking would commence in Austin. No word on what happened. (See: http://www.chireader.com/hitsville/951103.html)
