So many had written, conversed, and convulsed in these Victorian dollhouse rooms. So many skirts had swished these worn marble stairs. So many transient souls had espoused, made a mark, and succumbed here. - Patti Smith on Just Kids (her thoughts about Chelsea Hotel)
There is invisible string that remembers me about my Dad about Chelsea Hotel and I am just glad I stumbled into Patti Smith's memoir.

I worry that Tumblr isn't getting the whole popculture meets #robertmapplethorpe and #deadpool thing I'm going for. I've had issues.
