I went to the book signing, she is so beautiful in person.
There was a Q&A and she read a passage. All the questions were really about her addiction and her being diagnosed with bi-polar disease. Maybe like ONE question was about Scott, and it was if he has read the book. She said he read selective sections (his choice) and liked it. She even mentioned that the book deal came while they were still married. I asked her if she was worried about the children having addiction and mental illness from both parents possibly also having the same issues as they got older.
I found it funny that she chose to read the passage about Scott and Dave Navarro and the "note". In hindsight the story is kind of funny because in Dave telling it to Mary he also added HIS story about being so paranoid on drugs he pulled a shotgun on the water company-the same story he tells in "don't try this at home", though now obviously omitted from his book is mentioning Scott's visits to the "Hollywood Hills" house. In fact he hardly mentioned anyone in the book by name except maybe Jeordie White/Twiggy Ramirez and Bijou Phillips when discussing who he did drugs with (he changed a few names to protect identity). Crafty of Dave actually because when the book was published it was 2002, Scott was in addiction deep and I guess Dave didn't want to add fuel to the already burning gossip fire. I'm sure there are enough stories to write a "Don't try this at home volume II" lol
Anyway I'm glad I went and met her and got my book signed. But here's the funny part, I was so engrossed in reading on the train home I missed my stop, had to get off at the next train station and take a cab back. In the past millon years I have been taking the LIRR into Manhattan that has never happened to me....not even WASTED!! lol
