one hot minute is pretty damn good. i was buying drugs from the same place anthony was around this time, a time i was listening to this album constantly. it would have been strange to see him, while thinking he was sober. i also thought he was sober for some reason, until i read his book... what a fuck up!
what an amazin story. love the dark guitar sounds there. no mas chiva.

So when and where are the book signings? Can we still attend if we have already purchased the book, and just want to say thanks?
Thanks for you time

-Zotis

Mornin' Dave (it's past 1 am here). I was just wondering what the chances are of you doing a book signing in Toronto? Incidentally, Anthony is doing one here on the 8th. Also, do you have any particular costume in mind for Halloween? Thanx for the update. ~ Karina

Seee, I told you I was talking out of my ass.....at least HALF...the DUMB part.....his name is JACK!!!

Fight Club...I am Jack's dumb ass....

I think that's awesome, but in my defense, that's what I meant, that even if you wanted to give the money to charity, it should ultimately be YOUR intentions...

you are the one that is putting his soul out there, with what my mom would have said 'warts and all'

ok, i am reminded of 70s poster my cousin beth had

It's good to be a seeker, but sooner or later, you have to be a finder.
And then it is well, to give what you have found, a gift unto the world
for whover will accept it.

I get this way during full moons...

Dave:

Take a solo at the end of the 2nd chorus of "Go On".

Trust me, it'll work beautifully.

I'll kick Isaac's ass if he objects!!!!

Verse-Chorus-Verse-Blah!

Sorry for the QC, but past solos were beautiful and are the constant soundtrack to my life!

Love to 6767, love for all.

hmmm...ny? lol..i like the sound of that...and can't wait for howard stern...love that guy...he's awesome...and very very intelligent...i think that gets overshadowed a lot...oh well.

can't wait for some panic channel action...i'm so psyched for this project! from waht i've seen it's AMAZING!

Much luck to you and your near future pursuits!
love, emily

love you dave, never posted before, but I just want to thank you for all the great music. one hot minute is so underated. anyway, have you read anthony's book/will you? What do you think about his and your book coming out around the same time? thanks alot.

Did you or FreAk do the solo on "Shoot?" It sounds really great either way.

Hey Dave whats up, I'm glad to hear Scott is doing well. I can't wait to pick up a copy of the book, it sounds really interesting. I don't read that much and your getting me to read! Thats so cool that all the profits are going to help drug addicts recover, man. Very cool and selfless. Howard Stern is great, can't wait to hear that.

How would you describe the sound of TPC compared to the other work you've done? Your style always grows and changes so much from project to project, which keeps things interesting. Your classic Jane's style is so different from something like TNO. Where would you say your playing style is currently heading?

Hey Colleen!!! Is that you up there today??? "Will spread...." Clever clever ;)

so the guitar strap swapping thing... is that like when soccer players exchange shirts at the end of a match?? what other musicians have you done that with?

btw "go on" sounds AWESOME and it was stuck in my head today the entire time while i was waiting at the eye doctor's office (appropriate considering the last few lines of the song)

Dave, will you be taking a 2nd attempt at "Lord of the Anal Rings"?

you can beat Artie. i know you can.

SPECIAL REQUEST

DAVE, please try and post the CF version of I wanna be your dog that's played on 103.1... i've only caught the end and i must hear it!

americanzer0~It's FreAk who plays the guitar solo on ShooT :) Talented guy.

And I'm really loving the t-shirt in the pic. It looks way better than the pic I used for my sweater, dAmNiT! :) I'd jump the bandwagon and send in a pic, but I live in the land of the snow and it's a winter sweater so it's not a very hot pic, so I think I better just leave it :p

Have a good one, everyone!

~Noonie Chantelle~

Dave,

Might have already been stated, but are there any guest appearances on the TPC album?

What up Dave n' peeps.....LOL I see my tig ol' bitties are on display today, guess I should've had him take it while I was standing up. I had Freak's help on this one awhile back and just now sent it to Dave! There is not enough hours in the day anymore to get everything done-getting old sucks- I'm asking my peeps to cross their fingers for us, were writing an offer on a house this evening...hoping we get this one!!!!!!!!!! (don't think I'll be needing the bum to sit on this porch...what up paperdove) Hope all is well.......Peace n' luv

bye.

Dave~Thanks for clarifying what's happening with your book. I do recall you saying a while back that proceeds were going to M.A.P.
I'll be buying the book signed or not. :)
If I had a signed copy, I'd probably cherish that, and get another reading copy anyway!
In case, anyone forgot, and because OHM and drug use was mentioned again, Dave posted not too long ago that he was not using during OHM. I just felt like I wanted to clear that up. I dunno if I'd be spreading around drug use and where I got the drugs in the past if I were you Chris. But okay, I'm me.
Am I making sense? Jez, I get pretty loopy around the full moon myself. I think of it as a more creative period in life. ;) But lots of the time it feels like my head is stuffed with fluff, like Pooh Bear.

$70, 000 for getting my nose and jaw fixed, please, they're still fucked up after a close encounter with a lacrosse ball when I was 13. No more headaches. Yes!!! :)
Then I can get out there and do my bit.

Great to have you post again Dave. I miss it when you don't! :)
Love
Lisa
xxxx

Thanks for understanding Lisa, people wonder why I am ALONE!!! lol....

I picture myself in 50 years wandering the city parks with my CATS, in support hose sagging at the ankles, screaming obscenities at imaginary flies I will be swatting away from my face....

Terrible day yesterday, I broke up with my boyfriend 'emi', after an argument we had about money...
I said I couldn't support his coke habit anymore, and to get off my couch and get a real job, instead of sponging off his friend
;0

31st, eh? spooky.

le sigh, people can never come to my hallowe'en parties and they are often the highlight of october for me to plan. I make up huge ridiculous plans I could never make happen like bit victorian style tea parties and things... looks like it's just me and my computer this year, TPC.com will make this year's celebration fun (;

Good Morning: Hope all is well with everybody, just checking in. For all those in SD Dave will be on 91.1 next Thursday AM I think. Just heard it on the radio. Jezzi and the PCL's "Hi."

Brett

Hey everyone

emi-you've scrambled my brain with all that blah.what the scooby-doo are ya on about,don't answer that,my brain won't take it.

Dave,if ya have any change left over from the 70000 could you buy me a pack of fluorescent condoms,wanna go for the strobe light effect.j/k

Hey, Will Courtney appear with you at the Irving Plaza show??? Thanks!

Hey ya'll!

Just wondered if any of you caught Metallica on the Jane Pauley show?

Always,
me

Morning Dave and Family!

Dave...you seem to be very busy lately...hope it's all good! I'm gonna try this one more time and if you don't answer, I'll assume you just really, really don't want to: Have you ever had any really scary flight experiences??? Can you tell us about it?

Steve L....LMAO!!!! Your posts never cease to amuse me...thanks!

Good Day All!

Good Morning Everyone,
Last night’s Scissors Sisters concert rocked. They have an interesting following. One of the security guards recognized me from last Camp Freddy show and totally hooked me up with drinks all night. Woohoo! It takes so little to make me happy. I can’t believe I’m typing these words but there was actual point where I had to tell him no more please.

Anyhow Jezebel, sorry to hear that you had a horrible day things happen for a reason and I’m sure that things will turn out great at the end.

Dave, since it’s for a good cause I think I’m gonna have two buy a few copies and give them away for x-mas. By the way how much is the book?

I’m still a little sad that I’ll be missing the Wiltern show. I’m a bit tempted right now to book a flight to New York and catch the show there. I’m gonna have to do some research and see how much it will set me back. If I could find a reasonable flight I’m there. (This is why I’m always broke and have a shitty car)

Are tickets still available?

Have an excellent day.

Wendy

Hi wendybird,

Just found out AFTER I ordered my NYC Camp Freddy tickets, that there IS a 'VIP' package deal available.....to attend BOTH the gig & an AFTER PARTY!!! Talk about Woo-Hoooo~~!!

Now I am wondering if I can order tickets for the party, since I already ordered the concert tix...??????? Of course, they announce this info AFTER tix went on sale.

Here's the number: 323-960-8951 to call for info. I am assuming this package deal will be for BOTH the Wiltern & NYC shows.

There was an ad in this weeks VILLAGE VOICE advertising some kind of 'package deal' / VIP tickets for the concert & an AFTER PARTY package. I don't know if you get The VOICE out in California. It's a free weekly newspaper.

Fred Schneider of the B-52s is also performing & actress Kyra Sedgewick is the Host. I don't know if that's just for the NYC Irving Plaza show. ???????!!!!!

Good Luck whatever show you decide on goin too~~!!

Take care!
itanja

O.k I checked and it would only cost me 200 for airfare. I never been in New York and I’m feeling spontaneous right now. Should I book it??? I don’t know what to do. I know hotels run pretty expensive over there are there any in particular that you guys would recommend that are near the venue are not too expensive???? Now I just need to check with my boss.

How do you write music Dave? Do you have a special method or do you write it in sheet? If so, when did you learn?

And why won't you tell us what is your religion? :D

k, I asked my boss and my flight is now booked. I can't believe it. I'm so excited.

Ok, basically, I loved Emi's post. I love things that make no sense, especially:

"All tricks against rebirthing"

Straight up fucking genius, right there.

S

Big hugs Jez. I had those thoughts too, then I got a dog instead of cats. That sounds like I'm being funny, but it's true.

hi friends,

itanja tells me one of the ny signings is this monday oct. 4th at the astor place barnes & noble. we are definitely going! please email us if you wanna meet for dinner or something- we need to 6767 it up! haha

also, does anyone else have details about the official after party? i'd love to go if it's affordable and if tickets are still available to those who already purchased tickets. if not, i will see what can be set up otherwise.

also, does anyone happen to know if anthony kiedis is doing book signings for scar tissue? i would pee my pants to meet him LOL--- ok, i'm kidding, but you know how it is haha

keep on rockin' in the free world

-much love, emily

Hey Dave,

You didn't mention the locations of your book singings. I saw in the Daily News this morning that the New York singing will be Monday at the Barnes & Noble at Astor Place - however, it didn't say what time. Does anyone know what time the signing will take place?

Also, Dave if you (or any of the 6767 crowd) are in New York City this Saturday October 2nd & are looking for something to do stop by & see my band Ointment at the Orange Bear. The Orange Bear is downtown at 47 Murray Street, which is near City Hall. You can take the N or R to City Hall or the 1 or 9 to Chambers St to get to the Orange Bear.

You can check out some live versions of our tunes at:

http://www.sonicbids.com/Ointment

I still also have a midnight slot available if there are any band out there that are looking for a gig. You can contact me about the gig or send any feedback you may have on the libe tunes, via email at: lusciouslenny@mad.scientist.com

thanks,
Lenny

PS. Is there any chance, Dave, that you'll post the Pre-TNO track "Whore" on the download section of the site. I love that song and I'd love to have a good version & plus I'm too damn lazy to find the version I downloaded off Napster eons ago.

K, I think I officially had way too much caffeine today. Oh well too late.

Dave will cameras be allowed at Irvine Plaza??? I want to take my not so handy dandy camera. :)

"it is done to take out bush, tell me when it will be pass, and if it passing now, please tell me too."
this sounds like she's saying that someone is planning to destroy bush by passing some rediculously toxic gas and that she wants a warning beforehand so she can escape the tidlewave of deadly stench.

Maria

I mean "he", sorry, Emi is Emilio, a male.

Look at that I forgot to mention 1 important detail. My band Ointment will be playing at 11pm this Saturday at the Orange Bear.

Maria-you mean some kinda forrest saving thing?making sense to me now,Perry must be involved in some kinda campaign.

Steve L

wendybird-thanks for the good wishes, I am not much better today, but I do have the CATS to look forward to
Did you find a hotel, the Irving Plaza website has links to hotels in area

lusciouslenny--book signing is at 7:30- go to barnes and noble website for more info

those of you going to musicland, I am going on tuesday, october 5th, after work to buy book, they issue a wristband to you when you buy book, but only on that date, you then bring the wristband back with you to the book signing on the 12th, starting at 7, and Dave will sign only for those with wristbands, only books that were purchased on 5th, this according to employee.
Anyone wants to meet me there, email me and let me know..

Dave, as a recovering addict myself, I thank you.
jezzi

holy jeezee, way too much sugar in this place today.... LOL

I need 70K too...
I need to have a weekender at the Hard Rock in Vegas...The bowling alley suite! Couple of hookers and an 8-ball or two. Maybe some midgets...it's not a party without the wee ones! And naked people walking around with boa constrictors. And a live bondage show. Oh! And a slip and slide going down the bowling alley into the pins! Acrobats on stilts...juggling firey objects...Naked of course! I'll get some wings from Hooters!
Everyone is invited!
70K outta cover this but no...make it 100K. Yep. That outta do it!
Once again...I need this!

We can make it an annual event.
WOW!

Dave, What happened to the video you guys did for LA Song. If you could upload that to the site it would make my day!

Hey Dave, Hey Family,

hope all is well with you all...

Shane I know exactly what you mean, it's like colour by numbers...except it's tripping by reading osmosis...

Stay happy people

Steve-LOL that's pretty funny (Vegas Bash.) Just make sure you have enough cash so when everything get so out of control we could rip out the flat screen TV and toss it out the window. Straight up rock and roll style.

Brett

Hey Steve, Best idea I have heard in ages, how about 150 grand then all of us in Europe could fly over and join ya.

Interesting thought here.....Question to all.... how many rockers have thrown a TV out the window of a Hotel? Let's see.... the Stones? Kiss maybe? Led-Zep probably?, Van Halen (DLR- I bet he definetly had some all nighters), Motley Crue, NIN -they love to break stuff. Anybody else here people? By the way I don't even own a TV lol!

Brett

STEVE.....I'm down fo sho bro!!! Culculun can u scoop us up on the east coast before u hit Vegas??? lol

This is too funny. You would think that the new harvest moon was today. I’m finally coming down my caffeine rush. I don’t know what’s going on, even here at the office too many bizarre things are occurring.

Shit I’m going to New York. I’m finally going to New York. I’m excited and scared at the same time. I know to most it’s not a big deal but as you can see I seldom leave the Southern California/Nevada boundaries and to top it off I’m going alone.

I’m in for the Vegas thing too, while we are at it why not ask for a cool mil. (rolls laughing)

And we can hijack a firetuck and roll down the strip with the lights and sirens going! Oh and we need to fill the whole suite with that foam that they have in the clubs! We can hire Led Zeppelin to play a gig with Perk on drums! Oh! And edible chocolate body paint. We need that too! We need vinyl pants. We need to have a rock wall with a full bar at the top! We need that big BBQ truck that is as big as a city bus to cook ribs. Oh and someone bring some condoms. We need condoms! Oh and duct tape because you always need duct tape...

Ok! So this is sooo do-able! All we need is the cash and the midgets.

Quick Midget/Coke story... Roger Taylor from Queen told me that Freddie used to hire uniformed midgets (little people) to walk around the party with platters of coke and straws atop their heads...like Hors de ourves! How friggin rock and roll decadent is that?!?

WE NEED THIS! Make it a half a mil and we'll stop there!

OH YEAH! IMA BOUT TA DO SON!

Alright minus the drugs... of course! All in good fun!

Vegas Thing- Maybe have DJ's spinning in each room, a speed metal band on the patio of the "Penthouse", doing covers of Slayer's "Reign in Blood." Maybe a Karioke machine for all those brave enough? The possibilities are endless here people.

Brett

dave,
my girlfriend of 27months just left me. i dont want to move. suggestions? please?

also, if you want to suggest free tickets for us to teh nyc camp freddy show, that would be a great idea to get us back together.

but really...i need help. and i look up to you like you wouldnt believe.. thank you.

-andrew (adrienne's friend)

As per the (little people)- party attenders much make every attempt to NOT make any references to "The Wizard of OZ" or "Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory" or it will get really ugly. LOL

Brett

There's no place like home, there's no place like home, there's no place like home, there's no place like home, I'll get you my pretty, if I only had a brain...

-Emily

Dave - I've followed the band in the UK since the late 80's and never posted a comment on a Jane's / Xiola / 6767 baord before. Seen the gigs, the albums, the t-shirts since the off. So far so nothing. The following is my one time writing to you all in getting past 15-17 years support. If you have the time I'd love to think you read it to the end whatever the bumps on the way - it's a message of deep love and affection at heart. Ta. G.

I went to the Halloween Special at the Brixton Academy in London on the Strays tour. The following gig, the last in the UK tour, was broadcast in entirety by XFM in London and the mp3 is widely available - the whole thing. At the two shows you can hear Perry tag between songs with comments like "So this is what it's come to huh? Is this it? Is this what you find at the end of the rainbow?". Although Perry is Perry (watched since the late 80's early 90's yaddy-yadda how authentic am I bitch face etc), I'm still not really sure that he wasn't pretty loaded. Maybe he wasn't - there's an 'unrehearsed' acoustic slower rendition of "Just Because" when he says "Hey hey hey, I think we just figured something out!!" which conveys excitement going forward so basically I dunno.

My impressions of that final tour were pretty mixed. I loved, man I loved the fact that the gig happened. It will remain with me always. Brilliant that it happened - I nearly crashed the car when I heard the tickets being announced. What, objectively, I noticed from watching some earlier videos of 80's / 90's tours and ones I went too versus the gig was this;

The band originally used to be so fucking *dangerous* - they were a desparately wound spring and the gigs used to feel like a riot could go off at any second. Litterally. I saw them in front of 800 people in Bristol in England in 89 I think and man it was volatile - I dragged some poor unconcious fuck out of the audience when he was being trampled.

The band in 03 was just, I dunno, so fucking in need of a good kick in the nuts. No-one expects men in their 30's and hell 40's to be that angry still but the things that really needed a good kick in the arse for me were;

Dave having just been lost to posing on stage so comprehensively. Its impossible to understand now just how freakish and dangerous Janes appeared on the Nothings Shocking picture cover compared to the poodle rock been executed in the mainstream strip by Axl and co at the same time. Dave moves these days, if not looks, like he should be in the Dave Lee Roth Revue Band. Pretty disappointing for a guy that likes Souixsie and Bauhaus. He's got a missus that has built a pretty career on media coverage and to be honest fair play to her but Dave can't pass video and picture posturing and media coverage as content when the end product is music that people connect to emotionally. That the man who co-wrote Then She Did seems to have lost the balance between the creation and the visual is enough to make me want to shake him by the rock lapels.

2nd; Perkins gooning like a complete idiot with all these theatrical melodromatic cymbal splashes and strokes like he was executing cable television medical drama drumming. Big arm waves with open mouthed "ooooohs" like he was *really* feeling it which he just did NOT look like he was doing. He really really camped the whole fucking thing up on Up The Beach which was the first number ffs and never led up. A real tragedy - how can you get these amazing songs if a core member looks like he's drumming the revue.

The flailling posturing was just immensely obviously unfelt and just "the show". Another example of the same was on a simple "how do" from the covering radio station. Dave lauched into an unprompted incredibly cheesy "Hi I'm Dave Navarro and You're Listening To XFM". The radio presenter just about kept it together and said "uhh ok" because it was so obviously radio 101 and had just blown his interview cool. Total Hollywood shite.

Chris C. I guess the bloke just cannot have a fair crack of the whip given the legacy of Janes and you know I would never criticise him on "not being Eric". It's not fair clearly. However, god's honest truth, he just is *so* un-rock and roll on stage. He can diet, set his cheekbones all he likes and wear a leather jacket but I've never seen someone in a major rock band less comfortable than he looks. I understand that Dave and probably Steve have a lot of respect for his bass playing and that carries a lot of weight indeed. However he looks like a very nice looking trendy accountant and is just so not rock and roll. The serious face, the head nodding and the shrugging of the skeleton is just so un-hip! It reminded me, throughout, of watching your favourite funny relative on the dance floor. He's a really nice guy, really funny, and you just think "oh my god why's he on the dancefloor / stage cos he's just so uncool! Just sooooo fuckin unconvincing - sorry!

So Perry - still fucked up, still wild. My following was never with Perry and I would never support him for simply being still so out there. I expect all artists to move on because they themselves want to. I was just so damn disappointed with the grease-stick corny candy of Dave and Steve at these gigs and the ironing-board charisma of Chris. Did Perry look like a star by comparison? Yes, despite being an anti-Perry fan to that stage, yes he did a million times over.

I dunno what happened to Jane's on the split. What I do know is that Strays had the the smell of a band where ALL four members were trying to score commercial success. That includes Perry in the cheesy soundbites for MTV and all that shit on the DVD. Eventually there were various interviews with all members saying "we expect(ed) to be massive". Yes the band wrote some nice stuff but the band fucking copped out and wrote some naff stuff too in the persuit of commercialism.

Once upon a time four young men took almost all of the future of rock in their hands and twisted it into a completely new trajectory and did something extraordinary indeed. The cop out, soft flap, bullshit, posturing of mainstream rock has nothing to do with that extraordinary creative ability that they had. I am so very sorry that more than one has defocused on where their STILL EXISTING artistic creative genius lies. The foundation of confidence to do such extraordinary stuff that they should so richly enjoy is still there. Trading it for this tawdry dull stuff that was lastly, so latterly evidenced on SkyCycle Steve's website is just awful. Seriously guts, dial it up on the website and look at it - it's not a new band in its formative stages, it's a 2nd tier combo. You are NOT going to get an Audioslave / Velvet Revolver type reaction out of this.

For heavens' sake Steve, Dave, Perry, (even Eric hell), don't think that your genius was the drugs and the time. It influenced it but it didn't create your *musical taste*. You found the ability to do something so totally fucking different from the dross. That's why we all bought it. That's why we collectively "made you what you are". To be so high and think that your future could lie in going mainstream rather than persuing the burning comet you created - how could that *possibly* be sensible? To squander the opportunity to create brilliant songs which millions of people spontaneously recognised because of the insane belief that you'd be better off "going commercial"? You are collectively brilliant at being yourselves. The public recognised it before and bought the records and gave the reputation you deserve. Being "commercial" achieves/d nothing.

As a twenty year fan who wrote to you for the first time ever, can I just say this. What a total fucking point of potential tragedy. Do you want to die with this current stuff as your legacy? Or, if you cast it ALL to the wind and include more than just the popular but the dark, the rythmically, melodically and texturally complex and just did whatever you thought best, then you could make the most extraordinarily successful rock album in history.

The choice is yours. What do you want? Flip the coin my dear long time friends. Just flip the fucking coin.

hello to everyone... jezzi, Abby, Cassandra, Blanca, Brett...

i finally got the chance to sit down and listen to Shoot and wow... that was great. i am so amazed at the talent. they/you all are great, but Freak, you absolutely blow me away. that you even have to ability to do what you did, just rocks.

jezzi - i am going to buy the book tuesday and get my wristband, but since my 4:00 class will not be held, i am going to drive out there earlier in the afternoon to miss as much traffic as possible. does anyone know... which way does the traffic get bad during rush hour? i am driving from anaheim out to LA - is rush hour bad going TO LA or FROM LA??

i was watching That 70's Show last night and Danny Masterson had the greatest line... his "new" dad asks him why he wears is Led Zeppelin shirt so much and he replies:

"if god didn't want me to wear it so much, he wouldn't have made them rock so hard"

classic... =)

<3 Sarah

Hi- Sarah, I agree "Shoot" is pretty cool. I like the way it's chopped up. Very cool work by the way Freak.

Brett

That post from G bummed me out... Chill out, dude. It's only rock and roll.

Which is why we NEED to have a million ( I bumped it up.) dollars to have a weekender at the HARD ROCK! We need elephants to ride out by the pool. We need a live theatrical recreation of The Wall by the Cirque Du Soleil people. We need sunblock. We need free breast exams. We need Howard Stern to MC and host. We need tiki torches. We need a fire pole to the lobby. We need vaseline. We need naked skydivers. We need balloon animal makers! We need this! NEED!

This is so do-able!

yeah, Brett. i like songs that have more than one style to them... like Stairway to Heaven. there is no possibility for monotony.

<3 Sarah

He-lloooo Community!

Wassssup, Dave?

Guess what: I´m back by popular demand! lol
After many trials and tribulations (including drinking binges, struggling with both my internal AND external demons and losing my job) I´m finally back!

it´s all good, tho - I´m unemployed but healthy and happy as my gym memmbership won´t expire till December.
And I´ve been using a lot of pictures of DAVE as an inspiration for me to hit the gym on a daily basis (pumping iron, boxing classes, the lot) and also to go jogging in the world famous (not really) Ibirapuera Park, right here in São Paulo, Brazil.

So I´m doing pretty good... Against all odds, so it seems.

But enough about me. Let´s talk about DAVE cos this is what we´re here for.

I thought I´d resume my posting activities by asking him a random, unrelated to recent posts and utterly stupid question... Just to show everybody I still got "it" (whatever "it" might be...lol)

Here it goes: I´m watching THREE DAYS right now and there´s a scene in which PERRY claims that he doesn´t know how money he has but if he wants, he can get a sandwich in one hour (frankly, I wasn´t very impressed, I myself can get a mean turkey sandwich in about four and a half minutes, there´s this nice lil deli right across the street, you know - but I digress)

Question is: how long does it take for YOU Dave to get a sandwich - if you REALLY, really want one?

as usual, tons of love , respect and ETERNAL gratitude for your wonderful music,

Luiz Marcondes

Woohoo I’m set to go. I got my ticket and I got my hotel reservation. No after party for me :(. Last time I think it was about 500 bones and that’s a bit more than I have.

Dave,
I noticed that you will be in NYC on Monday to sign your book at Barnes & Noble. What time will you be there so that I get in line early?

Thanks,
Mike from NYC

I am in class right now, I feel like I am passing notes (heehee)

wendy!!!!!- you GO girl, I went to New York two years ago much the same way you are, really spontaneously, it was the BEST experience of my so-called life!! keep in touch, they have free internet access at the Mcdonalds in Times Square!!

Mike from NYC--scroll up ;), it's at 7:30

G--That's pretty amazing to have been a fan for 20 years, but the only time you make any kind of affirmation, it's to with "love" call Dave a poser...hmmm, nice passive-aggressive hostility thing you've got going on there, do you have a sister named molly, do you need a hug? I need a hug...let's flip a coin....

Sarah- Stay there for a while on Tuesday, I will show you my CityWalk haunts....:)

Brett--are you coming or what!!

LUIZ!!!!!!!!!!! We missed u papi, glad ur back! How about the debate??? anyone else watch it? I'm wondering how many times Bush is gonna say "wrong war, wrong time, wrong place" ooooooo such a touchy subject I'm wondering how my "fam" feels. Have a good night peeps!

ABBY- ;p;

"P

HEY!

Don't make fun of the midgets. They cannot help their genetic makeup.

And what's with people giving their opinions on the whole Jane's breakup on here? It happened, live with it, move on.

Oh, and one thing I'm getting tired of reading about bands is people pretty much saying they're the best on drugs as that's where the genius lies, they're lame if they're not on them, etc. Reality check: drugs may be one of many inspirations for songwriting, but they are not an originator of creativity- the musician/artist hemselves is.

Maria

hmmm...don't know what to make of the dude G...he's allowed to have his opinion...don't necessarily agree with it though lo...enough about that.

i need massive amounts of info on this book signing thing...jezzi, ellen, or someone please give me info...i can just hop a train and be out in la ciudad...thanks...i'd really appreciate it.

-looooove, emily

Good job w/ winning the silver chip on Celebrity Poker that aired on Bravo tonight. Not sure if that was a re-run, but it was still fun to watch.

Your Buick Grand Nat'l. (#96) was listed in Automobile magazine's Oct. issue as one of the 100 coolest cars.

Q. What kind (brand) of boots did you wear to TPC show? They looked pretty darn comfortable..

After reading today's posts with so many dates and times being tossed around, it became really evident that we should have an online calendar. As far as I know, there aren't any calendars around that are comprehensive, and feature all projects / events in one place, so I created one. I put it up at my site and it's linked through the homepage, but here is the direct link: http://members.tripod.com/~tno13/calendar.html

I'll try to pick up what info I can from here and I'll update it regularly. If anyone sees anything that I'm missing, or if anyone notices anything inaccurate, please let me know here or via email: Deena1313@cs.com

I hope this helps us all keep track of what's going on.

Spreading the love,
Deena

Excellent job Deena :)

there is just a couple missing

10/12/04 7:00 PM at Musicland – Universal City Walk. Universal City, CA.
10/14/04 6:00 PM at Book Soup - Sunset Blvd. West Hollywood, CA.

Dave,
Thoughts on The Flaming Lips. Have you heard Yoshimi Battles the Pink Robot?

WOW Deena Great idea! And I love how you saw the need and just did it! GO YOU!! ...Dave...I think that deserves a link!

Deena...You RULE!!!! what an awesome go to it girl you are! Hey, just a suggestion, vh1.com has an artist link, you search dave navarro then they have tv schedule appearances. maybe you could plug that in as well? I can't get enough of Dave on Celebrity poker myself

I was thinking, man, it's tough to keep up with all these dates! Good move Deena!

G, I really love the last record Jane's made and I loved the tour we did. Think what you will of me, but I believe that Perry is undeniably a star and Perk and Chaney are the best rhythm section in the world. I see that the only reason anyone could feel so strongly about my artistic decisions, is that the music really meant something to you, so thanks.
