i just wana say first off that, wow, it is so so so so (ok you get it haha) cool to hear everything you have written about them. Not only here but on the other site before, its a brown page or whatever. Wow there is so much info! And its all so great and beautiful to read. I know it sounds stupid and retarded, or probably like some crazy fan haha, but I feel like ive fallen in love with the kind of person Layne was. Yeah, so i probably would not have known him if he wasnt famous, but i mean the PERSON he was. Just imagine he wasnt famous, he was such a great guy, according to all the things i read. He seems wonderfull. and of course what makes him different from so many other people, and all the more beautiful, is how talented, amazingly so, he was at what he did. But anyway, and about Demri i wanted to say, im glad i could find some good peace of mind through the stories youve written. Ive been searching and searching for info on her, and i know that one story about loving to make decoupage, lol by heart! so yeah, it was just, like i said, like getting closure and having things answered, by reading what you wrote. im so very interested in her, and i think its probably because im so taken by Layne, that its nice to know what kind of person he was with and he loved. i also think its a little funny, and a little not so great, how many things i have in common with her, even our taste in music and especially clothes. i always wear long dresses to my feet and long skirts haha. some people say i look like i couldve been her sister but theyre just patronizing hahah. i think we wouldve been great friends though, or maybe good for each other because of our personalities. what you wrote about her knowing how to use her charm to get what she wanted, wether it was good or not haha, thats me to the pinpoint haha. i know i did some stupid stuff becuase sometimes you get people to give you some free hits here and there. and i know what you mean about not caring if people believe you or not, the fact that you say that shows that you actually knew them, i mean lol why would you start all this if not? your stories are all obviously very personal, and its not like youre doing this for a bit of fame either haha. and anyway i guess this is just one long thank you comment, which i hope you read. i dont really understand this page haha or how to send a personal message(not that i need to) so i hope you read this. thank you so much for all the pictures and the stories. and i agree with some other people who have been asking for you to share how they met, and what it was like to spend time with Layne. basically, any new stories, any new anything is totally wanted.

oh and, what you said “when your on drugs you have extreme shame and guilt and people begin to isolate themselves, ” i can also directly relate to so thats why, in my opinion, i think i know thats exactly why layne hid away. its really only half a choice, in my experience at least. its half choice and half obligation….i duno, when youre like that, sort of withering away or wanting to, its awful to see and even to think about the people that would beat your ass for doing what youre doing and becoming who youre becoming. and i think according to what youve written you also know what im talking about in regards to all the drug issues…..anyways.

and on a kind of stupid side note, do you have any info on the movie about layne? i just wana know if it really is being worked on and if it will come out or not. i hope it wont suck like last days, the kurt cobain one.
and if i have some art, where can i send it?

Crystal,

That’s so funny that you feel you had things in common with Demri too. I feel like we would’ve been friends too. I wear long dresses and retro outfits as well and oil perfumes haha. I’m an AIC fan and I think it’s so cool that Barbara knew Layne and Demri. Had to be cool to be part of the scene then =) I just read about the new movie too and I was just coming on here to see if there was info about the movie and I hope it doesn’t suck like the Kurt one. I’m a big Nirvana fan and was so pumped to see that when it came out and I was so mad when it sucked haha. Hope this one’s a good one!

hey! =) yeah that is awesome that you feel that way too! =) and that you dress like that!! ive been wearing long dresses since forever and now its become kind of a fashion where i live and i just think man, its so lame now that everyone wears the same thing haha. well, if we wouldve been good friends with demri, well probably get along great with each other as well, so nice to meet ya :p
and yeah i think its so cool how Barbara knew them too. it is definitly awesome that she was part of that whole scene. i know if i had a time machine id live in the 90s forever lol i know it sounds stupid like WOW you knew so and so, but its not like that. my dads around a lot of famous artists and i dont trip out haha, but for layne i do because hes a huge influence on me, and the music and therefore his voice has helped me a lot in my life. even if that sounds silly :p

and yeah about the movie–me too! ive been waiting ever since i heard about it and that one guy whos supposed to play layne sure does look a lot like him, and im so psyched for it!!! and yeah, im also hoping it wont suck because lol, last days SUCKED ahahha. its like they didnt even pay so they could use Kurts name and they used some random name lol, it was just…i mean artistic and nice to see but it was boring really. i wonder if theyll have someone portray demri in the movie, just like they had a short scene of “courtney” in last days. well, were all still waiting apprently lol i wonder where we can find info about it???

Right on. i love layne staley cause off his voice and not that, but becuase he’s hot. I dont even know why the rest of the band even bothered replacing layne cause everyone knows that the day layne died was the day Alice In Chains died to.
