I know it seems bizarre that I am doing this in the middle of the night, but I decided tomorrow to go and spend the weekend with Yearrrgsworth and his family. Whether his grandmother passes or not, he/they might need me and that's the only co-writer I am close enough to visit. So I first wanted to do my middle set overnight for you darlings ( Read more... )

Yes, I did read it - gutwrenching. Christ, her poor parents. I don't know how I would have handled a child like that, who was just so, so messed up from day one. Who knows what Sid may have become without her, but, frankly - combined with his own mother? The boy didn't have a whole fucking lot of a chance, really.

The first time I was in the Chelsea, there was a plaque with it's famous past and it said 'Sid killed Nancy here' and just kept going.

I was so pissed off that even THERE they dismiss it like that. So I stayed at the Hotel Chelsea around the corner instead, thank you very much. - I'm misunderstanding this, I think - there are two? Derpa. But - yeah. For publicity, nevermind the truth or anything..right?

My friend Pete and I went to Nancy's grave about eight years ago - it's pretty unassuming, and was not as vandalized as I expected it to be - and, as corny as it sounds, I left the last autumn rose from my garden, and a small handful of tiny safety pins I still had from the era, itself. I got some grass from the grave and saved it in a baggie - some of it sprouted, and lived for almost a year, in a small pot. The rest of it, I still have. Don't know why, lol - my son knows what it is, and appreciates the thought..and this came out of that little journey. :/

Yes Chelsea is huge so there are many "the chelsea inn" the "hotel chelse" and the"chelsea hotel". I lived in NYC for five years ( Xim was actually my roommate for my first two years there) but in 2006, I left for Chicago... But with nowhere to stay my last broke month there, me and my few possessions were homeless in New York, in winter. So I slept on the subway but then a friend put me up for a few days in the Hotel Chelsea.....wasn't gonna stay to The Chelsea Hotel where some people go said S killed N. They needed each other!! Z.

But I was rereading your post and if I remember correctly, The Spungon'a wouldn't let Sid be buried near Nancy so Sid's mum Beverly had him cremated, scaled the fence one night and sprinkled his ashes on Nancy's grave so Sid's last wish could kinda could true.
