Jordan Vilchez was dispatched to the Guyanan capital of Georgetown to raise money. On Nov. 18 she was at the temple house when a fanatical Jones aide received a dire radio message from Jonestown. The murders and suicides were unfolding, 150 miles away.
‘She gives us the order that were supposed to kill ourselves,’ Vilchez recalled.
Within minutes, the aide and her three children lay dead in a bloody bathroom, their throats slit.
For years, Vilchez was ashamed of the part he played in an idealistic group that imploded so terribly. 'Everyone participated in it and because of that, it went as far as it did,’ she said.

"Drunk at the matinee" is a collection of candid poetry about stupid shit that we all experience from day to day.
