Goodbye

I’m sad to leave but I just don’t have the time for this blog anymore. Hopefully it can still be a space for people to explore and learn about River. I’ll love him forever xx

did keanu and river attend any other concerts together besides the nirvana/rhcp/pearl jam

Most likely, but it’s not public knowledge. It’s not a concert but I know that they went to a show/theatre kind of thing together, 10-to-Midnight, in Santa Monica in November 1989. I don’t know what it was about but one of the actors in it was Brandon Lee

Do you know when it was in 1989 that River and Martha broke up ?

They were last seen together in June in Tacoma during the filming of ILYTD, so sometime after then

I think it‘s amazing how River passed away years ago but still has so much support and there is so much love for him. He deserves it. Feels like he is still alive.

Absolutely!

“On October 30, 1993, actress Patricia Arquette—then best known for True Romance—was at home with her younger brother Richmond, who was staying with her. When he asked her who she most wanted to work with, she said River Phoenix. The next morning, Richmond was woken up by Patricia, who tearfully told him the news: while they were sleeping, River had died on the Sunset Strip. The world had changed overnight, and its possibilities had diminished”

Dogfight is one of the sweetest love stories I have ever seen. That hug at the end gets me everytime.

It’s a gem

To the anon asking, I think it was a year or two after River’s death since Martha was still vegan after their breakup when they were still friends.

when did martha stop being vegan?

I’m not sure. She was still vegan in September of 1990 when she attended PETA’s 10th anniversary gala, then by 1995 she wasn’t, so sometime between then
