"THE WORDS OF ROB BREZSNEY"

AN EXCERPT FROM:
PRONOIA Is the Antidote for Paranoia:
How the Whole World Is Conspiring to Shower You with Blessings
to be published in early 2005

Copyright 2004
by ROB BREZSNEY / www.freewillastrology.com

THIS IS A PERFECT MOMENT

This is a perfect moment.

It's a perfect moment for many reasons, but especially because you and I are waking up from our sleepwalking thumbsucking dumbclucking collusion with the masters of illusion and destruction.

Thanks to them, from whom the painful blessings flow, we are waking up.

Their wars and tortures,
their crimes against nature,
extinctions of species
and brand new diseases.

Their spying and lying
in the name of the father,
sterilizing seeds and
trademarking water.

Molestations of god,
celebrations of shame,
stealing our dreams and
changing our names.

Their ingenious commercials
and bloodsucking hustles,
their endless rehearsals
for the end of the world.

Thanks to them, from whom the painful blessings flow, we are waking up.

•

Their painful blessings are cracking open more and more gashes in the shrunken and crippled mass hallucination that is mistakenly called "reality." And through the fractures, ripe eternity is flooding in; news of the soul's true home is pouring in; our allies from the other side of the veil are swarming in: inspiring us to become smarter and wilder and kinder and trickier.

We are waking up.

As heaven and earth come together, as the dreamtime and daytime merge, we register the shockingly exhilarating fact that we are in charge--you and I are in charge--of creating a brand new world. Not in some distant time or faraway place, but right here and right now.

•

As we stand on this brink, as we dance on this verge, we can't let the ruling fools of the dying world sustain their curses. We have to rise up and fight their insane logic; defy, resist, and prevent their tragic magic; unleash our sacred rage and supercharge it.

But overthrowing the living dead is not enough. Protesting the well-dressed monsters is not enough. We can't afford to be consumed with our anger; can't be obsessed and possessed with their danger. Our sweet animal bodies need love and fertility. Our imaginations crave tastes of infinity.

In the New World that we are creating, we've got to be steeped in lusty compassion and ecstatic duty, ingenious love and insurrectionary beauty. We need radical curiosity and reverent pranks, voracious listening and ferocious thanks.

•

So I'm curious, my fellow creators. Since you and I are in charge of making a brand New World, where do we begin? What wild truths do we want at the heart of our transformations? What fresh codes and stories will be our oracles? What crafty questions and uplifting desires will be our inspirations?

Here's where I want to begin: with pronoia. Pronoia is the opposite of paranoia--the antidote for paranoia.

Pronoia is the true theory that all of creation is conspiring to shower you with blessings.

Pronoia is the guarantee that life always gives you exactly what you need, exactly when you need it.

Pronoia says that everything alive is working very hard to liberate you from ignorance and transform you into the gift of love you were born to be.

•

I am allergic to dogma. I thrive on questions, and don't trust any idea that tempts me to believe in it absolutely. There are very few perceptions or theories about which I am totally certain.

But I am absolutely certain that pronoia describes the way the world actually is. Pronoia is wetter than water, truer than the facts, and stronger than death. It smells like cedar smoke in early spring rain, and if you close your eyes right now, you can feel it shimmering like the aurora borealis in your soft, warm animal body.

Some Buddhists say the inherent nature of existence is suffering; they long to escape into nirvana. Many Catholics say the inherent nature of life is sinful; they long for the purified peace of heaven. But pronoia assures us that the inherent nature of life is to liberate us.

Being born on the earth is the highest honor and greatest privilege. To be alive as human beings gives us the chance to pull off exquisite and Herculean feats of magic that are not possible in nirvana or heaven or any other so-called paradise, higher dimension, or better place.

I'm not exaggerating or indulging in poetic metaphor when I say this. Visualize it if you dare.

The sweet stuff that quenches all of our longing is not far away in some other time and place. It's right here and right now.

As Elizabeth Barrett Browning knew, "Earth is crammed with heaven."

Dave,

Dave,

That sounds like an incredible experience!!! I love Lou Reed. I remember seeing him at the Greek here in LA the night the riots started. Why don't you convince him to come here for the show at the Wiltern!

ATTN: 6767 PEOPLE GOING TO THE NYC CAMP FREDDY SHOW AT IRVING PLAZA TOMORROW NIGHT!!!

Rock on,
- Sean

Glad to hear this swing to the east coast is being such a enjoyable experience.

Much props

Giovanni

Dave,

There are some moments that are beyond description, especially if the moment is a musical one. It is a harbinger of the success for the Panic Channel and Camp Freddy, and a testament to the positive place where you currently are.

Glad to hear it was a great rehearsal, and the positive vibe of the book and music. Looking forward to seeing either Camp Freddy or the Panic Channel if you make it out to western New York.

Congrats Dave...it's great to hear that you've had such an amazing day! :D

Everytime I come here and see a new message I want to see you guys live. Though me living in the middle of nowhere Ontario doesn't help my cause. For now, here's an older page I found when looking on the old sites that amused me:

http://archive.bibalex.org/web/19990302071124/6767.com/game4.html

Maybe one day i'll get to meet up with some of you 6767rs!

That's great, Dave...

Reading that really made my day. Yeah.....

Ed

i know this sounds stupid but i'm have a band and every year theres a big "battle of the bands" contest and shit. i have a totally kick ass guitar, bass, and drum player and i'm the singer and song writer. i write a lot of deep poetry and stuff. but how can i convert that into a song? any suggestions on what to do??

hi famely
hi dave

that's great dave that had such an amazing day!

love to everyone
laura

less than 24 hours...totally psyched!!! ahhh!! i hope to see dave and everyone there!

-Emily

Hey dave, glad you're having an awesome time! Enjoy yourself, you deserve it. Ya know what I wish there was an easy way to meet you and Carmen. I would love it, I would love it so much that you wouldnt even understand. But anyways have a good time! Have a nice dayy!

Skot~thank you for posting that.

Amazingly, there is going to be a programme on the television here this week about
how a climate of "Fear" has been created, and why is has been. It's called "Fear" even. I've been waiting to see it, wondering what will be said and shown.

What they did in the 1980's to scare the shit out of us is unbelievable now I look back on it. There you are in school, pondering when and if nuclear war is coming at anytime. doing drills. What to do if there's a nuclear war? I was in the states in high school then. I know they did some of that stuff in the UK too, but not nearly as much. It looks laughable looking back at what we were shown on TV or told in school or newspapers, mags, or books we read like "On the Beach"; but it seemed so real at the time. Think about how much of an affect all that crap had on us growing up then. Bollocks to it. Okay, I've had my say for today. :X

hello my dearest DN & FAM;

happy to hear it DN that rrrocks! wow i cant imagine - what a feeling!

man this place is so positive. i love it.
it sounds cheezy but i cant help but smile when readin posts on here.

hmm maybe its cuz kittyradio.com can be such a negative place at times, i dunno...whatever it is i really enjoy reading each n every post/update on here.

jen - i echo that thought. (btw, im also in ontario) it'd be awesome to meet up with the crew n catch a live show...hopefully one day not so far away! ;)

cheers ya'll!
x leanne

Cool~Got Sharon Osbourne show in now, and Tommy Lee is about to be on.
We are kind of behind here...but been enjoying her show.

Love
Lisa
xxxx

Hey Dave,
I got your book today here in Brazil and I can´t put it down. I´m a fan from the time of the old 6767 site and I feel like a part of it all..I´ts cool in a twisted sort of way to know what was going on in your life during that time. Thank god you got your shit together.
Do you have any audio/video from your rehearsal with Lou Reed?? That would be cool!!!
Rock and Roll
Jorge

Lou Reed, huh?! Must've felt extraordinary!

But Dave, now you know the great feeling that every member of the "family" gets from meeting their idol, and that means you, punk!

Take care and turn the place upside-down!

-Pekka

Pekka~too true. I thought that too.
Love the way you put it to Dave! :D

Yeah, Dave. What Pekka said!

Depending on time, I may or may not be at the Lemon tomorrow :(

Dave, that sounds sweet! I can't wait!!!

DN Family,

Just watched Dave on Howard just now. The porn star on the show, Savanna, was absolutey HOT. Howard tried to arrange a threesome between Dave, Carmen & Savanna. Carmen said no. See you guys tomorrow.

Later,
Mike from NYC
Red Sox are World Series Bound!!! YEAH!!!

I've been reading the posts here for awhile, this is my first post. I'm from the old 6767 days as well. Just wanted to say that I CAN'T WAIT until CF tomorrow! I'm hoping to stop by Lemon with Lisa (also from the old site, not sure if she posted here yet!) Looking forward to seeing some old friends & maybe making some new ones!!!

....She never lost her head,
even when she was givin' ....
She'd say, " hey, Babe, take a walk on the wild side"
Where the colored girls go....

Anyway...MIKE FROM NYC!!!!!
True that! Johnny Damon, I am going to write a song about that man!!
The only thing that would make me miss a season opener of West Wing, yummy!

Hey, I just wanted my New York fellow family members to take a moment tomorrow, and remember....

40,000 women died of breast cancer last year

I'm sure a lot of you know someone in the struggle..

jezebel(Come to My Window.....I'm the Only One....)

Is "Jailhouse Rock" about prison sex?

just wondering
can't sleep.

Let me know its bothering me

"yous the cutest jail bird i ever did see"

Ron

No it's just a cute song. :D

I just saw Velvet Revolver in Oklahoma City earlier this evening, and it was amazing! Slash is a man-beast, and Scott is looking healither than ever. I reccomend seeing them this tour if you can!

Greg

Wow, all I can say is Wow. God, to have been a fly on the wall in that rehearsal room! Lou Reed is the Godfather of Punk! That album was released the year you were born Dave (as if you didn't already know that-lol). I hope you can do Halloween Parade with him (if he comes down again), or Andy's Chest, or Street Hassle, or...Oh man. It doesn't get any bigger than Lou. Some suggested cds are Street Hassle, New York, Transformer(mandatory!), Rock & Roll Animal. Dave and Lou jamming? Are you kidding me? Unbelievable.

Dave, caught you on Howard Stern half an hour ago... funny. I was kinda curious what shoes you wear, I'd think you'd wear boots but maybe you just haven't found a comfortable pair? Mine are fallin' apart!

Forgot to ask, how is his health? Looks like he's 35, still? He's still into the marital arts, right? Damn, if I could ever meet Lou Reed, Man, I'd piss myself. Lou Reed was "alternative" before alternative was cool, responsible for so much music today and for the past 30 years. What a giant figure in music, and I'm so happy for you Dave, you Rock & Roll Animal! :)
"Swoop Swoop, Oh Baby, Rock Rock"

Holy crap! Lou Reed! Amazing. He's one of the most Iconic figures in Rock and Roll. I can't wait for you guys to come to SF.

Rob, have you seen the Otis Lee Cranshaw version (Rich Hall)? It will explain all...no, seriously, it will lol!

Very, very funny guy imo; anyone?

Have a good day everyone

Will be thinking about the CF show from over here...

PEace
RP

WOW!!!! That sounds AMAZING!!! You NY people are in for an awesome show it seems!!! I can't wait to see who plays here in LA!!! So have fun NY people!!!!

Dave,is there anyone you WOULDN'T like to work with? Someone,who if they turned up at your rehearsals,you'd say "I'm not even going to be in the same room as that twat"? You must have met some real bellends in your time! Spill the beans,mate!
PS Chelsea for the Premiership!(I'm from England,so I thought I'd better mention the footie)

Glad yer having fun, Dave :)

Hope everyone has a blast at the show...I'm sure of it, actually :)

*goes back to bed*

Have a good one, everyone!

Oh, My... I´m all emotional just to read about this, imagine Dave´s reaction...! God bless, God bless!

Love from

Luiz.

PS: Hey, peeps, you’re all invited to come over sometime and have a cup of tea or coffee or whatever your thing might be with me here: //luizmarcondes.blogspot.com

Don’t be afraid, the place is bilingual. And also, you guys can leave your comments as much as you desire too. Fire at will, I say! OK? See you there.

P e a c e
Luiz.

Skot - You da man. That is all so true. And Ylais, you should see Farenheit 9/11 and Bowling for Columbine. The theme of both of those movies is how we now live in a society based in fear. You're so right girl. Our news is broadcast all the time now on several channels-because we're afraid. We have metal detectors everywhere-because we're afraid. We buy too much insurance-because we're afraid. We teach our kids our fear, call it being cautious or conservative. It's all BS. All of us in this family live passionate, committed lives, or we wouldn't be here on this site in the first place. We have great posts from all of us, and we connect. We love our causes and each other, so rebel against the fear and let it go.

oh, and YEAH SOX!! We're gonna win it all.

Today is the day!!!

I'm hoping to make it to Lemon, but I will have to leave work at 4:30 to get there. We'll see how the day goes.... How late do you think people will be at Lemon? Doors for the show are at 7, but that doesn't necessarily mean the show starts then, so will the 6767ers hang for a bit at Lemon? Or head over to Irving right before 7? What's the consensus?

Sean, I'm gonna e-mail you my cell.

Whoohoo...
Adina

Hey, Peeps!

Please try AGAIN, cos "geocities" SUCK! U gotta be patient... And I hope it´s worth it:

http://www.geocities.com/luizmarcondesblog3/Shadow.mp3

p e a c e !

L.

Adina,

Well, I'd imagine we'll be there past 7. Irving Plaza is notorious for opening the doors a half hour late. And I believe The Roots are opening before Camp Freddy. Most of us are getting there between 5:30 and 6, so I'll guesstimate and say that we'll probably be there until 7:30 or later. Guess it depends on how many people order food and how long they want to stay and hang out. Let's see what happens! :)

- Sean

hey family

just wanna say hi to everyone, not much happening on my side, got our gig next week friday so we are preparing for that

everyone going to the CF show, have an awesome time and try to think of me atleast once during the show...ok? OK? lol

kyle

P.S., Luiz, im glad to see your name back on my screen buddy!

Good morning!!!

I'm sorry, I just can't get this song outta my head!!

Little Joe never once gave it away
everybody had to pay and pay

A hustle here and a hustle there
New York city is the place where
they said
Hey babe, take a walk on the wild side
I Said
hey Joe, take a walk on the wild side

ADINA-----you're the poet in my heart!
I am so excited for you New Yorkers...
New York in the fall, doesn't get much better than that

Dave...Thanks to you and the rest of Camp Freddy for doing your part to raise both money and awareness for women's issues, not only cancer, but domestic violence.

HEY!!! Fred Schneider of the B52s is going to be there!
Oh, NOW I'm really upset.....

jezebel(Tin Roof....rusted)

Luiz,

Good to have you back man.

I can host that track for you if you want. Just e-mail it to me at anthony.best@frontrange.com

I have plenty of space and plenty of bandwidth.

Pony

Saw Dave on Howard Stern last night! He is hysterical! Dave, you have such a great sense of humor, you and Carmen! I'm so happy that things are going so well for you!!

Family, how is everyone today?! I'm wishing I was an east-coaster for sooo many reasons right now! But instead, I'm just a poor Cubs fan with nothing to look forward to :(

~Melissa~

I was wondering Dave how do you write music? Do you have a special method or do you write it in sheet? If yes, when did you learn? Thank you.

Hey Mike From NYC, i've been to Bellevue bar a couple of times. Classy place! Last time i was there they had all these backyard wrestling tapes playing on the TV. Highly entertaining!

SAW BILL CORGAN @ BOOK SIGNING.
HE WOULD ONLY SIGN HIS NAME,
NO MESSAGES.
JUST WANTED TO THANK YOU
FOR BEING COOL AT YOUR BOOK SIGNING
IT MEANS MORE TO US FANS THAN YOU KNOW.

Dave-Lou Reed...you will have to post pictures of that!

"Kiss the boot of shiny, shiny leather
Shiny leather in the dark
Tongue of thongs, the belt that does await you

Awesome, simply awesome........

Just for that, I think i will throw in some Velvet Underground today while i work.
Thanks

Just for that, I think i will throw in some Velvet Underground today while i work.
Thanks

Morning dave and family!

Sounds like all is well in our little community today. :)
Saw Dave on Howard last night. It was pretty funny, even though I had already listened to it on the radio.
Sorry I haven't been posting too much, but I got some bad news on Monday and have been in a funk the past couple of days. It will pass soon, and I will be back :)

Karrie :)

P.s. I finally got Velvet Revolver's CD and I thouroughly am enjoying it !!

Hey Dave!

Now you know how WE felt when we met you. :) I'm glad you had a wonderful experience and am psyched to see you and the gang tonight!

I missed Stern last night.. was in the midst of consoling the hubby about something... and don't have TiVo. Hopefully someone taped it. (Itanja? LOL)

Anyhow, I'm about to go get decked out in some 'rock and roll' attire and head over to Lemon and the show. I'll see you guys there!

Love,
-Denise

Hello Big Daddy(Dave)and fam. Saw Howard last night. It was damn funny.

And before I left for work today I was watchin' Vh1 classic and they played "jane says". I have not seen that video since it came out a few years ago. I was at that show, the one where Perry was wearing a blue outfit and Dave was wearing a black skirt with fishnets. Hot. Anyway, that was the first time I saw Jane's, and seeing the video brough back good memories. Oh man, good times. I miss those days. And Dave looked SO hot. Something about a man with make-up on and women's clothes. It just gets me hot. lol.

Anyway...It started off my day to a good start. Just wanted to share my happines. ANd also I had major coffee today. That has a part of it. Good day everyone.Take care.
Love, CC

All this talk about the show is upsetting me! I wish I could be there!!! Take me in spirit plz!:)
Have an awesome time!

Just checking in to wish you all an awesome night with CF.

If possible, take pics, tape it - whatever makes us not-able-to-go folks happy......

love,
Astrid

My wife and I attended your book signing in West Hollywood; we were the couple with the baby. We wanted to say how nice it was to meet you because we've been fans for so long. We will surely miss Janes' but we are looking forward to your new project. Make sure to add Orange County to your touring schedule. We'll be waiting. Love You.

Dave!

Did you guys record it? That rocks man. Lou Reed is the man. I was jamming out to some VU earlier, actually.

Have you heard the the double-live they put out a while back "Live MCMXCIII"?

-aj

God it sounds like you had an awesome day. Lou Reed is amazing - ive been checking out some Velvet Underground because of your recommendations.

Have a great time in NYC everyone

Love always,
Georgina

Hi Dave,

That is going to be awesome, you & Lou performing together tonight.

Was just listening to the first 2 Velvet albums to get me in the mood for the show. I know I have a few of Nico's solo LPs, but I can't seem to find those...too much vinyl to go through!

Hope I can get some good photos tonight!

See you & the NY/NJ 6767 gang there~~!

take care,
itanja

I am so very envious of you, Mr. Navarro... Lou Reed *squeals* that must have been so cool. that is just too fun! and Venus In Furs is one of my favourite songs, you did an awesome cover of it I have to say. I feel compelled to listen to my VU albums when I do my homework...

love,

Soph xx

Dave you ever work with Eric A. anymore? What's going on with him? The combination of you, Eric and Perkins is awesome & magical. I hope to hear you three working again sometime....
Thanks for all the guitar inspiration....
Ron

thats not the same Ron. Thats a new Ron.

Ron

Welcome New Ron

much love to all having the pleasure of Dave's company as well as that of other 6767ers tonight. I had to skip the show in light of the "any minute" arrival of my newest niece, Sydney. Have to stay close to home, but my heart is there with all of you. Have an amazing time, and Dave have a great show!

peas!
Melissa

Hiii again to all and Dave,

I have a question for you Dave..It's really random but..

When I listen to your song..Hungry..ya know the part where it's a guy (prolly you) and some girl whispering before it goes into chorus

What are the words that both of the people are saying?
I have something in my mind of what they're saying but I am not so sure..and I really want to know what they are whispering to each other..

Hey Dave,

I saw your face on the side of a bus this morning on the way to school. I sipped my coffee and smiled. Just felt like sharing.

hey Mike from NYC - see, that's the thing... actually, Carmen NEVER said "no"!!!! don't commit to anything, just leave it to their imagination! now, that's entertainment! Savana IS hot. just one more reason i'd love to be Carmen!

<3 Sarah

Hello everybody!! I had some time to kill(a lot of time) so I went reading through the archives. I've only made it through June and July so far. Dave answers a ton of questions there, which is so awesome! If anyone hasn't looked there before, it's really, really insiteful. There were answers to questions that I never knew I always wanted to know.

I hope those goingto the show in NYC have a wonderful time!!

~Melissa~

Beautiful People;

Hey what's up just dropping back in. I hope everybody is doing well. Jezzi and TPC Ladies "hello."

Brett

You're so sweet Jezzi for reminding everyone of the good cause in the middle of all the fuzz. I think it's great. I should know 'cos my mom died of breast cancer.

Can't wait to hear about the gig itself though! I bet Dave & Lou can work magic on stage.

I hope you guys are having a great time in Nueva York :(

Pekka, thank you, I just wanted people to know that the whole purpose of this concert was to benefit STEP UP, an organization that not only helps with women's health issues like breast, cervical, and ovarian cancer, but with domestic violence victims.

My dear friend, (Dave's better fan than me), left his home here last October to move to Colorado to care for his sister, who had just been diagnosed with breast cancer. She is a single mom with 4 kids, and going through surgery and treatment took a lot out of her. It's been a year now, she just had her reconstructive surgery, and is expected to make a full recovery. I feel selfish for missing my friend so much, but I know she needs him more.

BRETT!!! You Stud!! Do you ever listen to Tommy on the Steve Harvey morning radio show..Ladies, ladies, ladies, how my, how my ladies doin' out there?

eeek, professor giving me evil eye....
jezebel(bad student)

*waves*

Hey guys!

Dave -- That's so awesome about Lou Reed. Ditto what everyone else has said, now you know how we felt meeting you. I'm really happy for you; and, if I could actually DO a cartwheel, I would.

Lori in PA -- *points to my new sig, grins cheesy* See ... tole ya I'd change it. LOL

And that's about all the energy I can muster tonight. [Works been a raggy bitch this week and my son's failing 3 classes (had to meet with all his teachers today ... I was waiting for them to whip out the rack or an iron maiden).]

Much love,
~~ Lori

P.S. Everyone who went to Irving Plaza ... one word: DETAILS!

Ahh, I'm gone for a day and look what happens... Dave jams with Lou Reed!!! That is so awesome D! I'm so happy for you!

Man, you lucky lucky NYC people going to the show!

Those of you going to the LA Camp Freddy show rock out extra hard for me!

I love you.

something, something,
Don't blame her for her beauty...

I think that song is about a girl who plays cards...

That is why, and no one has ever recognized, thank you.
Pekka,

Wow.

Just got back from Irving Plaza.

Wow. Full story tomorrow.

Dave, it was a pleasure meeting you again. Thanks for taking the time for photos, I know you were in a hurry and felt bad that all of us were keeping you, but thank you again.

HELL YEAH!

(That pretty much sums it up in a nutshell).

:)

Spreading the love,
Deena

I just got back from Irving Plaza. Wow. I'm so glad I went!!! Unfortunately, I didn't make it in time to meet up with anyone I didn't already know!! I have to agree with whoever posted about AIC!!!! I freaked out when they said Jerry Cantrell was there. I knew he played some shows on the West coast, I didn't think he'd be in NYC...so pleasant surprise for me.

Another thing...who knew Fred Schneider could tear s*it up like that?! He was awesome!!! And so NOT goofy!

I'm desperate for audio of the songs w/Lou! They sounded amazing. Loved seeing Dave blissed out over it as well!!!!

Hi All.

WHAT A SHOW.....everyone was EXCELLENT~~!! Dave & Lou! WOOOOW~~! Jerry Cantrell, "Man in the Box", what can say??

Denise & I just got back from the city awhile ago, we stopped for a snack with Sean & Ellen after we all ambushed Dave, Perk & Jerry Cantrell by the backstage area. ;)

Pre-show we hung out with Mike from NYC & his girlfriend, Luz at Lemon.

Dave was more than gracious, he was his usual super charming self, he stopped to talk with us & posed for some photos.

Sorry we all couldn't all hang pre-show....we missed Deena, Emily & I'm sure a host of other 6767ers.

Hector...were you there??? Hope you got to see the show.

Took loads of shots, flash unit literally broke during Camp Freddy! ARGH~~! But I a had great time, my ears are still buzzing. Took the rest of the shots sans flash, Photoshop to the rescue.

Got to get some sleep. Nite all.

take care,
itanja

Dave - you want to take a ride on the "spaceship" according to a story on cnn this morning. You know, that guy who wants a few hundred grand to go into space. Is this true?

Sounds like CF was a great show. I too love Alice in Chains, but can't say Jerry Cantrell is the nicest guy. Interviewed him once not too long ago, and he was a complete ass. One of the worst people I've ever interviewed, unfortunately.

Good day -

oh man! i missed dave...shit! my sister was dragging me home cause she had to go to work and we had to catch a train...i'm so upset :-(...i would've loved to see dave...now i want to cry.

i'm glad you guys all had a good time :-)

-Emily

i hope there will be more opportunities to meet in him in NYC again ::cough the panic channel cough:: or maybe i'll just have to finally visit the west coast...never been...who knows lol...anyways...have a good friday all

DN Fam,
Had a great time last night. I was with ITANJA & DENISE before and during the show. I only saw ELLEN after their set ended. It was great to see you ladies again.
Outside I saw Fred Schneider, Dave & Perk. Got a nice picture of Perk's mohawk. Perk was really cool. He thanked me for being a 6767.com viewer. Dave gave me another autograph. (I like the hair. Much better.)

DAVE, PERK & CHRIS - Thanks for a great show. I will never forget it. Can't wait for the Panic Channel album. You will always have me for a fan.

Later,
Mike from NYC

ITANJA - Please e-mail the pictures of last night and the picture of DAVE that my girlfriend wants to see.

I know I'll definitely catch the Panic Channel when they play Madison Square Garden or hopefully Giants Stadium haha u guys rock and i really can't wait to hear the Panic Channel stuff! Yea, I totally missed Camp Freddy last night. Even if I had the ticket I had a 9-7 work day yesterday and would've most likely been late for the show :(...

Hey all-

Last night's Camp Freddy show was amazing! I wound up chilling w/ Emily and her sister right in the front (the 2nd and later 1st row) and we got Dave's attention with a "6-7-6-7" shoutout, which was very cool! I am so excited I finally got to see Camp Freddy. I had no idea how cool (and sexy -wink wink- haha) Donovan and Billy were. I was really impressed. The band was tight and had strong chemistry.

I was thrilled to finally see Jerry Cantrell live and of all AIC's songs, "Man in the Box" is one of my all-time favorites, so that was a definite treat. The other thing that ruled was Camp Freddy played totally awesome straight-up unadulterated rock. They really let it rip. I was so excited to have known all of the songs. I love when that happens! The concert kept you guessing and excited about the next song and the next guest vocalist, so it was really exciting to be there. Some of my favorites were "Jailbreak", "Should I Stay", "Whole Lotta Love", "Feel Like Making Love", "Blitzkrieg Bop" and so many more.

We got to meet Dave, Jerry, Perk, Fred, etc. after the show, so that was really fun. Exactly like Sean said, I felt bad for holding them up, but ultimately it was very cool just even shaking hands with the musicians I admire. I finally met Perk which was great. I had met Dave, Steve Isaacs & Chris Chaney before and I feel excited to have finally met the last (but certainly not the least hehe) member of The Panic Channel. I took some great pictures, but let's hope they came out well. I know Sean managed to organize a huge 6767 fan picture with Dave, so hopefully that will get up on the site soon enough. Once I get my pictures- from the book signing in NYC and from the CF show- I will definitely find a way to post them online :)

Then afterwards, Denise, Itanja, Sean and I went to the bar/restaurant Coffee Shop in Union Square. On the walk there, I channeled One Hot Minute's "Coffee Shop" so that was funny.

When I finally left the city around 2:30 am, getting my car in the parking garage, I chatted with two gals who were at the show & one of them wound up being Deena from 6767, so that was crazy!

Aight folks, I must go. Have a wonderful weekend!

Also, Dave, your hair looked so good! No more gel or hats, ok? capiche? haha just kidding...but seriously we were 'ooh'-ing and 'ahh'-ing lol

one more thought- when the van drove away that held the CF guys, we all started chanting "panic channel!" so that was a fun, unified crowd :)

Ok guys, quit capping on the hat...get it? "capping" on the "hat" tee-hee....

Dave, thank you for the morning rejuvenation...that hair is positively yummy...and that pic of you on the leopard couch....ok, ok, nothing to see here, citizens, as you were....

What did Gina sing? That girl ROCKS!! Did anyone catch her doc on IFC?

anyway, back to DAVE!!! You New Yorkers all sound like you had a most excellent time...kinda puts the whole Yankee thing in perspective!!
