The 2025 LAYNE STALEY SEATTLE TRIBUTE MERCHANDISE IS CALLING YOUR NAME!
•
This year’s tribute merchandise is NOW available for purchase. Link is in my bio. ** Also note, tribute, grunge night and fountain posters are NOT available on the website. You will need to email me to verify inventory. As of last week, we did not have many remaining.**
•
The Annual Layne Staley Seattle Tribute official designs for 2024 and 2025 were solely created by the very talented Karmann Sloane {SketchyGoat.com}.
•
I know I can speak for everyone when I say how incredibly grateful we are that Karmann created such memorable posters to commemorate 2024 & 2025. Both years were truly originals yet brought a touch of southern charm and a pinch of psychedelic flavor ~ ultimately bringing Layne’s vibrant, yet bold (at times) personality to life.
•
J.T. & I look forward to working with Karmann again very soon❤️.

Bury me softly in this womb
I give this part of me for you
Sand rains down and here I sit
Holding rare flowers
In a tomb, in bloom
•
Down in a hole and I don’t know if I can be saved
See my heart I decorate it like a grave
You don’t understand who they thought
I was supposed to be
Look at me now a man
Who won’t let himself be
•
Down in a hole, feelin’ so small
Down in a hole, losin’ my soul
I’d like to fly, but my wings have been so denied
•
Down in a hole and they’ve put all the stones in their place
I’ve eaten the sun so my tongue
Has been burned of the taste
I have been guilty of kicking myself in the teeth
I will speak no more of my feelings beneath
•
Down in a hole, feelin’ so small
Down in a hole, losin’ my soul
I’d like to fly but my wings have been so denied
•
Bury me softly in this womb
Oh I want to be inside of you
I give this part of me for you
Oh I want to be inside of you
Sand rains down and here I sit
Holding rare flowers in a tomb (oh I want to be inside of you)
Oh I want to be inside
•
Down in a hole, feelin’ so small
Down in a hole, losin’ my soul
Down in a hole, feelin’ so small
Down in a hole, outta control
I’d like to fly but my wings have been so denied

Catching up on an anniversary from 2 days ago! 34 years ago on September 4th, 1991 - Alice In Chains had another one-off show. This one was at “Mabel’s” in Champaign, Illinois. Although the article I found states “Machine Gun Kelly” as the opening act, I can assure everyone MGK did not, or at least that incarnation did not open. Granted there are some super talented 1 y/o’s, but the only Machine Gun Kelly I’m aware of was probably still nursing in an actual nursery😂😂 then👌🏼😂.
•
The first page is actually the cover image from the entertainment insert from the Daily Illinois, in Urbana, Illinois newspaper. The image was so dark that I actually colorized it so we could get a better idea what the cover of the section looked like. I’ve also included the article which is an overview of the upcoming show.
•
Bonus - I was able to track down the September 1991 concert listing & the Mabel’s “mailer” both of which were mailed out to folks on a mailing list or folks who live in the area. The September 1991 concert listing shows Alice In Chains and the exact concert date. The mailer is The “revue” that has a paragraph by JC about their music.
•
Shortly after I shared the article last September, someone who used to work at Mabel’s emailed the September 91’ show listing and the mailer to me. It’s always great to have additional information to share. Also, the last image is the cover page from the entertainment section, in its original black and white version.

Being self sufficient and one’s own BFF is something I’m happy to step into (for the time being).
•
Over the past 2 months I came to the realization how the role of being someone’s best friend is really hard for others to fulfill. Ultimately if you expect the person you thought was your best friend to talk you through the worst experience you’ve ever faced (let alone make time to talk to you about it), you just better off becoming best friends with your f*ckin’ therapist.
•
When that person hasn’t looked up from their own personal life for 5 minutes to acknowledge someone else, it’s time to re-evaluate things. Especially when they didn’t even know that you’d been through something last NOVEMBER. Yet they still don’t step to ask you what happened or ask them how you can help. For me, I start feeling resentment. I say that because I am someone that does pay attention, I do acknowledge. I go out of my way. They don’t even notice.
•
When with a group of mutually known friends for example, then plans get changed (clearly not in my control or even my doing), I am so grateful that one individual opened her home to me because, it’s clear that person actually cared and did not want me sleeping in my car. That friend didn’t make me feel bad, nor did she make a scene. Because again, she knows sh*t happens. Clearly tho someone else felt different.
•
I think someone’s constant story teller should think of 2 words that should be relayed to the dream maker …because it was not even acknowledged and it was the very last time.
•
In case you’re all wondering, this is a long over due post based on a few broken paragraphs from a combination of 3 books. We’ll see if the correct recipient acknowledges. Highly unlikely.
•
My one & only best friend lives in Fort Collins, Colorado👌🏼👌🏼❤️❤️😂😂😂

More beautiful photos of Nancy McCallum, mom to Layne Staley.
•
Kyyle Cort (Jar of Flies) who MC’d both Grunge Night and Layne Tribute night introduced Nancy. Before she sang “Wake Up” by Mad Season, Nancy discussed the long awaited mobile unit.
•
The mobile unit will provide help and resources for individuals that are in locations and/or unable to get care elsewhere. The unit will also display an image of Layne. Once additional information is available, I’ll share it on this platform (IG/FB).

One of my other favorite bands is My Sisters Machine.
•
In following with my last anniversary post during the Layne tribute week, here’s another video. On August 21, 1990 - My Sisters Machine opened the show. As I mentioned in my post yesterday, several bands performed at the Off Ramp. This was a 2-day fundraising benefit for former Seattle musician, Kristen Barry.
•
Although this was a fundraising event, Alice In Chains was also celebrating the release of their debut album, “Facelift”.
•
For all of you that may be new to Alice In Chains, or even the 1990’s Seattle music scene, I’ll share some additional info. AiC’s lead singer, Layne Staley had been in an early incarnation of Alice In Chains. It was called Alice ‘N Chains. Nick Po***ck, the lead singer and rhythm guitarist of My Sisters Machine, was also in that band. Nick was the lead guitarist of ‘N Chains.
