Kathleen Wood was born in the Midwest. As soon as she was old enough to escape, she moved to San Francisco, where she began meeting people who were even stranger than she was. She immediately began to work on honing her bizarreness potential so that she could keep up with the Joneses. She believes that she has now firmly established herself as a bona fide Bay Area weirdo.
