SUBJECT: OFFICIAL MEMORIAL PLANS FOR D’DRENNAN
Dear Friends of D’Drennan,
There are many of us, from many walks of life, who loved and were loved by D. In order to accommodate as many of us as possible, plans have been made by those closest to him for all of us to pay our respects.
A formal memorial ceremony and gathering will be held Sunday, February 27th at 28 East 23rd Street to create a peaceful sanctuary where we can express freely amongst all manner of family.
We will open the doors at 6pm and the ceremony will begin at 7pm. Suzi Miles is providing the altar, which is one of D’s larger pieces. So, please feel free to bring whatever you wish to adorn the altar all night. This venue has a candle permit, so not only will we be lighting candles in the space, you are welcome to bring and light your own.
You may remember the space when it was known as True (now "Chetty Red"). The space is larger now and the staff is extremely supportive of our situation. There will be no cover, as this is a private event, and there will be a cash bar, upstairs and downstairs.
While we have the space for the night, there will be other vigils and less formal wake-style meetings, which we acknowledge and support. The Korova Milk bar will be open from 10pm til the very wee hours, for further reminiscing and closure. There is no rush nor pressure to attend, only a generous invitation that is open to all. If you would like to invite guests to other related events in the next few weeks, you are welcome to share this information on Sunday.
