Yeah, FIRST!!..

Thank you Sean, Angel, Emily for the great narratives of your signing experiences. Those of us not on the coasts are living vicariously through you, so rock on!

Dave, when you have really memorable and meaningful experiences like publishing a memoir of a formerly troubled life, reflecting on how things were for you and now putting so much behind you, do you think about your Mom in the quiet moments? I suppose anyone that has lost their Mom has, and I know I do. It's nice to think they still watch us.

Much love family. Glad everyone's doing well.

Morning Dave!

whoa! it happened again, i tired to post and got an error because Dave's on here! :D

here is what i was saying:
" am so pleased for all the 6767ers that went to the book signing, met Dave, met each other, great stuff. Thanks for telling us about it on here.
Hector, said about how great it is that people have been brought together though this, and that's so true, right on Hector, wise words.

Steve L~
If Dave comes to the UK, I'll drive to the book signing wherever it is in the UK!

Love to all
Lisa

I am psyched. I can't make it to a signing, too far away. But thanks to you, I contacted Bergenbooks and ordered my signed copy this morning. They said to call at 9:30. I did. Can't wait to get it!

Come to Pittsburgh, Dave, please . . . . .

Hey folks happy Tuesday

Good morning everyone,
I guess Dave has caught me, oncet again, talking out of my ass, half of it anyway, the dumb part, named Jack..I am Jack's dumb ass!!!

Semantics, Musicland is Sam Goody's parent company, showing my age again...Remind me never to tell the story of when I first went there,on the day the Hard Rock Cafe opened, and a Steven Seagal celebrity lookalike who worked as a prop manager for General Hospital picked me up at the Hollywood Athletic Club, and bought me a cd, because he liked how I looked when I was listening to it...lol, guess the cd!

Hi molly...reminded of what Dave said to G. Think what you will of him, but obviously the music has had an effect on your life.Hugs to you!

To all my new friends out there, I am in serious academic trouble, fear of success is oncet again rearing its ugly head, would appreciate any and all good thoughts.
jezebelwasn'tbornwithasilverspooninhermouth

Angel~You can order a signed copy from a bookstore?? O.o

I really really want a signed copy too, and I've got one, hopefully two people on the case. I really can't wait to read the book! :)

jezebel~What kind of academic trouble? O.o
If it's about not passing any classes then don't worry, I never do either :)

Ah well..

Have a good one everyone!

~Noonie Chantelle~

Hey All!

It was so great to finally meet everyone yesterday -- Annette, Emily, Ellen, Hector, Mike, Heather, Jennifer, Larissa, Neil Strauss, and of course, Dave. What an amazing, exciting, surreal experience. All of you were super-cool, and I hope our paths cross again someday.

I'd never been to a book signing, much less one with one of my idols/icons. It's strange, because you wait and wait to see the person, trying to figure out what you're going to say to them... And when you get up there, you have about a 10-second window in which to pour your guts out. And of course, it comes out all wrong, and you feel like a bumbling, stammering idiot. (At least, that was my experience!)

When I spoke w/ Dave, I meant every word I said, but wanted to say so much more. I wanted to have a profound, intelligent conversation, but came off sounding like a gushing groupie, probably. I was just too starstruck and overwhelmed to formulate all the words correctly.

Plus the fact that a book signing is not exactly a "natural" occurrence. It's very structured, and you need to play by the rules and keep everything moving along.

With that said, I'm still SO glad to have had this brush with greatness, however brief it may have been. As they say, "I will remember this moment for as long as I live..."

For those consiring going today, DO SO. You'll have a wonderful time. Everything should go smoothly, as it did last night. And yes, Dave is as every bit as beautiful and charming in person as he is onscreen. (GREAT leather jacket, too. I want one for myself! LOL)

Lastly, to Dave, thanks for taking the time to do that, thanks for your kind words, thanks for everything. You're smokin! ;)

Love,
-Denise

Oh... and I can't wait to read the book!!

-Denise

heLLo

Looks like US 6767ers are having fun! Awesome! wish I was there.

I'm usually the happy person! but not today... Relationships may never work the way u'd like them to...Bye...C.

Sad FreAk*...

hey all, i have a big favour to ask the family...

is anyone going to the book signing on Oct 14 at Sunst Blvd in west hollywood? because what id like to do is give 1 of the family that is going to the signing the cash to buy a DTTAH book for me, and then maybe they can take it along with them and get it signed for me. would anyone be willing to help me out with that??

if so please would you email me... relaxer16@hotmail.com

thanks again family!

kyle

You need to come visit us in N.Calif,
I just want to thank you and your die-hard fans. At a very painful time in my life I used to go to your message board and it helped me get through it. You have a lot of great fans and they are great people too. Intanja, 6767, Gato, to name a few. You don't just touch us on an artistic level, but you also touch us on a personal one.
Thank You,
Scotisheyes

... and looking forward to the Irving Plaza gig on the 21st!

Hugs everyone for FreAk. Bad breakup? We're here for ya.

Good Morning Dave and Family!

Thanks to all who shared your awesome experiences at the book signing...I really enjoyed reading them! I am so amped cause I'm getting my copy of the book today...can hardly wait to get started!!!

Jezebel and Freak....((((Big Hugs)))) for you both...I hope whatever is troubling each of you works itself out...you know we are always hear, ready to listen, if you need to get it off your chest.

So it seems that Dave was not on Howard Stern last night or Carson Daily this morning....hmmmm....must be a delay in the taping and airing process....

At any rate...everyone have a beautiful Tuesday "Dave's Book is out Day!" and happy reading!

Hi all

Backing up Cori's hugs for Jezzi & FreAk.

Lisa & RP if Dave ever comes to the UK for a book signing we'll have to meet up,that would make the day doubly great.

Good to see ya back Tex,missed ya.

Steve L

More hugs for FreAk and Jez

SteveL yup, sounds good

RP

Dude,

You should sit in with Paul and the CBS Orchestra... That would be great! Tell Dave, "Hey!"

Are you going to hang out with Fallon? If you see him, tell him, "IMA BOUT TA DO, SON!"

I'm going to pick up my copy of the book today. Can't wait until the 12th.

Rock On Brotha!

Steve-0

Wow D, thanks so much for the book, and the insight. It's one of the most amazing read's, I've ever experienced, because It's basically biographical in relation to my life as well. During that awful time period, I too was at what I hope was my bottom... some of the quotes, more like most of the quotes, resonate through-out my mind and my soul striking with the accuracy of an assassin's bullet. Shared addictions... shared darkness...and hopefully a shared recovery. Thanks for being so honest in public about our disease Dave, believe it or not, it almost act's as a bible of sort's for me...anytime I "forget"... and the relapse process begin's...all i have to do is open your book, and relive my own life, right there in print, only difference would be replacing the rockstars, actors, and hangers on, in your background for a nice cold dose of loneliness in mine...though in reality, you were just as lonely as i was, regardless of how many bottom feeder's existed around you...May the spiritual being of your choosing forever bless you and Carmen, and may you never question the helpfullness of your book... your music got me through the last ten years... and now as your other form's of art begin to take shape as well, they too will inspire me to grow and change. As it's been said,
"Anything that's not growing and changing, is already dead..."

Adam

that is too cute an image... *banishes her random rockstars-taking-naps fetish* ahem. (: aaaanyway.

I want to be in New York... well, just generally. But moreso whilst monsieur navarro is there. (;

love, Soph xx

HAPPY DTTAH DAY!!!

Hey Familia! Good morning. I am happy for everyone who got the chance to meet Dave yesterday. I wish I was there. But to Freak, my heart goes out to you brotha. I am sending my love to ya. Don't take this the wrong way but everything happens for a reason. Much love baby.

Sean, I really love your story about meeting Dave and about yourself. Much props to ya for becoming a better person.

And I am evnious to everyone who got the chance to meet Dave. I wish I could be there in L.A. next week. But I love reading the stories about everyones experiences. Take care everyone. Have a nice day.

Oh I am goin' to plan a trip to San Diego soon. I wanna try and get to meet some of you guys who live down there. I have family in L.A., and I am gonna top by. Ok, back to work for me. :-(
Peace,love & the panic channel.

Love, CC

Hey guys, the audience coordinator from FUSE TV wrote me back. There are about 10 spots left for today's Daily Download taping. You have to email her back at: Audience@Fuse.tv or call to email your name, number, and day to come in with "Dave Navarro" as the subject. I would call since it's close to the deadline.  The only problem is, you have to be between the ages of 14-26. You then have to be here, 11 Penn Plaza, on 7th ave, between 31st and 32nd streets at 4:30pm.  Be prepared to stay until 7pm.

hey all, rob here. i've started the book and its amazing! it was totally worth the wait. speaking of waiting...i cant wait until thursday for the second eastcoast signing..more dave..more questions :o) Does any one know who the guest musicians will be at the irving plaza camp freddy show??.........................check out inquestionmusic.com please please please please please

Hi Dave and all,

i wish you all a great time at the book signing....i pre-ordered my copy a while ago but don't know when it will be in my hands.

I know i bother again and sorry for that but Dave can you think about giving away some signed copies in a contest/quiz kind of thing to the people here?

BTW exactly this day - one year ago - i was front row in Cologne/Germany to see and experience Jane's live!!!!!!What an awesome night - unforgettable. Makes me sad that is sooooo long ago.........

I'll go and have a drink on it i guess......

love to all, and an extra hug for Freak..you rock dude, better times will come man!
*~Astrid~*

Hey Dave,
Cant wait to hear some new sounds...best of luck recording!!! Oh yeah, GO ON is missing the audio when I try to play it, any ideas on how to remedy this?
Tell Perk he is loved!!!!

http://www.howardstern.com/04/10/04/11b.jpg

nice pic!!!

see ya,

Yeah, nice picture on the Stern site. Listened on my hour drive into work, but missed you entirely!

Have fun on the Daly show ~ can't wait to catch it next week.

Always,
me

Ok most important things first.

Freak... you are my boy and if you need to talk I'll be there. I have been where you are 100 times. (Bruce can probally testify to this) Relationships are something that always fail to some extent. Its if the failures can be fixed or not. Keep your head up if this one ain't working let it go. Don't drag yourself along the bottom of the ocean trying to save a sinking ship.

Jezzi... I feel you to. I was on academic probation 2 years ago. Just keep plugging and it will work out. Work with your professors. If they know you are trying they will be much easier on you.

FINALLY AFTER 3 years of waiting I have DTTAH in my hands. I had this book preorderd since 2001 and I went to pick it up this morning. I don't have plans tonight so I am going to read it cover to cover. Maybe even twice.

Bruce is coming down to hang with me this weekend and I am totally stoked. Its been almost 4 years since I have seen him so this will be good for us both.

Hello to Emily, Tiare, Abby, Sandy, Princess, and all my MSN people.

Much love to those who show love to me,

Pony

Oh and one last thing... DAVE!!! whats up with the coke nail in the picture? Is that for playing acoustic guitar... i have seen that a few times. I know you clean just checking on it.

Pony

Hi Dave,

i'd love to get signed copy of your book too. i live in Poland so there's no chances to get to NYC or LA to see you there. please.

Astrid,

i saw Jane's in Berlin on Oct. 7th so my "one year later" will be in two days. great memories. though i prefer Paris show. lots of energy there.
can;t wait to see TPC live here in Europe

have a nice day Dave, Astrid, and all 6767ers,

peace,
Obvious

LMAO Anthony...I noticed the coke nail too but didn't say anything...glad you did! :D

cant wait to see you on howard . i loved you on celebrity poker, i rooted for you the whole time. bye

Hi peeps and Dave!,

You guys in the US of A sound to be having so much fu, wishing i could be there. Dave please do a signing in th uk it would be so great and i know im not the first to menion it so lots of people would show up.

Oh I also thought that i would mention on here that if anyone went to see Jane's Addiction on the 2nd Nov last year I have some pictures i took at that gig and if anyone is interested email me. I would also like some more pics from that show if anyone has any.

Thanks love always,

Jezzi:

Like Whitepony...I too was on academic probation and subject to dismissal my first year at UCLA. I got dragged to college because my parents wanted me to be there...I was destined to be a doctor. My heart wasn;t into the doctor thing...and after 2 years I switched majors. Once I realized I needed to be at college for me...and not for them..I started having fun and actually found myself enjoying school. Do it for you...and if school isn't your cup of tea...head out into the real world and find what it is you want to do. Try to give school one last chance....I think you will find it a great experience...it may not seem so at the time...but years from now you will reflect on it and be glad you stuck it out.

Freak...hugs to you...hope you are able to work things out.

Love,
Zero13

Hi family,
Thank you so much for the show of support. I have been going to the university off and on for 10 years, borrowing money, hiring babysitters for my son, working nights and weekends...trying to make a better life for me and my boy.
So it comes down to this, I am one research thesis away from my master's. I have collected data for 2 years, all I have to do is put it in a narrative.

My demons have come back to haunt me, the voices in my head ringing along with the ghost of my mother saying I am a FRAUD, my intelligence is just smoke and mirrors, I am an addict at heart, just changing addictions.

I was addicted to speed for about 10 years.I started because I had almost died in a car accident due to my alcoholism, and my feelings of guilt about putting my family through so much pain, led me to my next addiction. So, I pretty much spent most of the 80s not sleeping...
I got pregnant, and suddenly I realized that there was someone else involved in my destruction, I decided to pull myself together for my son. He is 15 now, and I am wondering what will happen to me when he doesn't need me anymore. That's kind of why I decided to go back to school, and become a teacher. I wanted him to be proud of me, and I also wanted to be able to let him go..

I just can't get my head around what I am here for, ultimately. What's my purpose? And all of this is expressing itself as self-defeatism again. I can't seem to even start my paper, did I mention the first draft is due TOMORROW!!!

Anyway, dammit, sorry, byegones, another one of jezzi's incoherent, rambling, stories,

Scroll down!!

Jezi-Just stay strong. If you need to talk I am here. You can email me if you want to. Sorry, I don't have IM at work. But I know letting it off your chest helps but sometimes you need to hear a friendly voice to feel better. Take care.
Love, CC

RP~Yes, I can definately pick you up. :D

Jez - you are most certainly not a fraud! I can tell just by reading your posts here that you are an intelligent, articulate, witty and wise woman...you have devoted 2 years to this thesis...don't let your demons take that away from you, because you deserve to succeed...now just do it!!! (I know you can :D)

PS....you WILL BE an awesome Teacher!

Hugs to Jez. and FreAk.
Jez. I know that fear of success/failure, hey it's the double edge sword, only too well.
Like zero13 said about his parents wanting him to be a doctor, and all that parental pressure~ I went through that as well. My father pressured me so much; he was hung up on me becoming a doctor as well. If I got A- grades, he asked me why didn't I get an A! O.o Nothing was good enough. I've gone through all the worst doubts about who I am, what I'm doing, questioning why I'm here, all of that crap.
It does come up when I am under pressure again, but I shove it aside. I still have some of the bad thinking habits, but I've gotten past using drugs, or drinking, and all kinds of stuff, really bad relationships too. I've spent years working on how I think about things, on letting go.
So my heart goes out to you. Stay with it.
Keep going. I mean, realise this, if you don't manage to get that first draft in, it is okay.
But it is also okay, to sit down and do that paper, and it to be just okay, or even poor, or to get even a fail on it. At least then you did it, and you can learn from what you did in the paper that could be improved upon. Surely if you hand in something, and your grade is under a passing, then you get to try again somehow? get an incomplete? Ask to redo it. Something. If you want to email me and chat, then please do. Love Lisa
That goes for any of the 6767 family. xxxx

Jezzi,please don't ever think that your son won't ever need you,he will,when we are young we depend on our parents to provide for us,as we grow older of coarse we start to lead lives away from our familys and learn the tools we need to get by in life,you know the voyage of self discovery,learn the things in life that we can pass down to our own children.

My mother and i never spoke for nearly 5 years,when my parents divorced my sister and myself were put under alot of pressure,not to take sides,but we were told things about our parents by our parents,mostly all of it i would rather not have known,also the yearly row about who we were supposed to spend christmas with,also had to watch my father shower attention on his new partners kids instead of his own,this led to feelings of being unwanted,after years of this sort of thing my mother and i had a silly row and i announced that i was fed up with the family,we never spoke again until last year when i hit rock bottom in my life and i needed my mum.Now we are closer than ever,worked things out,we cried loads and said sorry over and over.I left as a kid and came back a grown up.So you see even at 31 i still need my mother,my father and i have also sorted out our differences although he is a tough nut to crack,agree to differ was the solution there.

Anyway all i'm saying is that your son will be proud of you,no matter what you do,i'm proud of my mum for getting out of a loveless marriage and now she's in a happy one,i couldn't be happier for her.

You are not a fraud,I would hate for this feeling to sink you back into the life you described,stay strong.

Wow this is a long post,sorry for that.

Steve L

Hi rob8008,

I posted this a few times already....but just for YOU....the NYC gig guests, so far, besides CF & The Roots, are Fred Schneider from the B52s & the Host is actress Kyra Sedgewick...Ooops I almost wrote EDIE Sedgewick! lol

And.....Dave 'slipped' on this past Saturdays CF radio show & mentioned Lou Reed...SSSSSH! LOL

See you there!
itanja

Jezzi- Without a doubt, or without any hestitation if you need any assitance or a mental push to get your Master's degree research rolling just let me know.

Brett

Hi Dave,

Saw you early this morning on our local WPIX morning news! Boy, was I surprised~~!!

How do you manage to look so good & refreshed that time of the morning?? I think you were on about 8:30-ish? lol

The woman who interviewed you, Emily Francis, is a very enthusiastic, articulate & informed entertainment reporter, she really does her research before interviewing her subjects. Unfortunately, that Jack Daniels 'lie' is making the rounds, better tell your Regan Books rep to take that out of their press kits! lol

I only wish Ms. Francis had interviewed you a bit longer. I remember you & Carmen had been on WPIX before, another early interview! I enjoy the WPIX local news, less fluff than the 'Big Three' networks morning fare, unfortunately they tend to spend time too much time on their silly outdoor pedestrian interviews & 'contests', which leaves less time for people like you & the interviews we want to see!

Still, it was great seeing you again.

It's a 'Dave Fest' this week in NYC....FUSE, Carson, Conan (my personal fave TV host ....what an entertaining, clever & extremely witty man, plus he's a TRUE fan of music & actually chooses the musical guests on his show. Dave, did you know Conan plays guitar?) Someone here mentioned Letterman too?? BUSY week~!

I haven't started the book yet, though I did read the excerpts years ago (sssh..don't tell Neil, lol!), I need quiet time to absorb it's 'heavy' contents. It's definitely not a light read!

Again, it was so fantastic meeting you, the 6767 'crew', Larissa & Neil yesterday.

take care~!!
LOVE to all,
itanja

Cori, steveL, RP, pony, Sand, crecencia, zero13, jezebel and everyone here, a big thank you...

Things will eventually work out..I guess, its not the end of the world.

FreAk*

Just to add somthing to my last post,any kids out there whose parents have or are splitting up,don't think you are not loved,i understand now that my parents were going through a very stressful,unhappy,life changing time and trying to consider everyones feeling during that time must have been extremly difficult,so kids will be in the firing line when stress levels are high and tempers frayed,it's not you they're shouting at so much as the situation,so hang in there,times like those the kids end up acting more like adults than the adults,its tough,it hurts to see your family break apart,but bottom line is they love you.

Steve L

freak a big kiss and hugs for u!!!!!!!!!

laura

yeah, tons of kisses for FreAk! xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

Hi Hector,

Tried to email you to send you the Zeppelin jpegs. The email you gave me is different from the one posted here, there are more numbers in it!

I also got this message: 'mailbox unavailable' & 'permanent fatal errors"?? LOL

I'll try the email addy you have posted here.

Write me to verify!

Thanks,
itanja

i love this community a lot!!!!!!!!!!!!!
kiss and hugs again for freak

It was great to meet Dave, albeit for 5 seconds...Rob K totally speaks the truth about not having enough time and just ending up feeling like an idiot. But hey, at least those that were there had the chance to meet one of their favorite people. Too bad I just found out about the FUSE thing or I would tried to get down there.

Don't know if this was posted already. Was on Book Soup site and it says:

This will be a ticketed event. Please call for information, (310) 659-3110

Also, if you can't attend and want a signed book, call them and they will help you out. Probably a credit card purchase and don't know if book can be personalized or not.

jezzi - my good thoughts are always with you! i know how you are feeling right now... losing motivation is why a lot of people never finish school. your son is lucky to have you and will always need you, even if he doesn't think he does.

freak - i'm sorry to here your day has not been good. it seems that relationships have a way of doing that to people.

zero13 - you are so right! my parents made me to go college after graduating and after one semester i quit. i took two years off, working full-time, and finally decided i was ready to try again. now, i have graduated from junior college, with honors!!! i barely graduated high school, so to say that i am an honor student still blows me away. you do have to do it for YOU. and if it's not for you, find out what is. college can really help people to find out what they want out of life, whether they will find it in school or not.

well, i'm off to Sam Goody. can't wait till next week. all these stories are such inspiration. can't wait to tell mine!

<3 Sarah

Hi scotisheyes,

GREAT to see you here~~!! WHERE have you been??

I have been wondering why so many cool people from 'our' old Capitol Board haven't been visting this weblog! It seems like everyone has just disappeared. I would think that so many of you guys would have been here already! This place has been going for months. I do keep in touch with Valerio & Pebbles outside of posting. Valerio's band is doing well & getting gigs.

Where is Orravan?? Natural One? ginchy? Denise, Joe (Six7Six7) & Ryan (Caligula) have been here.

Yesterday, while talking to the 6767 people here, I was trying to remember ALL the names from the Capitol board & how it was also a great 'family' we had there too, despite the few spamming loons who tried to drag it down & stir up sh#t.

I couldn't remember Gatos name, I thought he was waiting on the line yesterday at the signing, but it probably wasn't him. This guy was probably wondering why I kept staring at him! LOL Hope Gato is doing well.

Hope all is well with you & your family.

So great to see you HERE!
DO come back & often!

my thoughts and good vibes go to you both today as well!

Remember all the smiles and happiness that is in your life, and that you bring within yourself to these junctions, and focus on those things, because they are the true you, and the light through the dark days.
I have been through quite alot of shit in my life as well, some things more traumatic than others, and keeping on with thoughts of the goodness, and the love of family, friends, is the very best medication meditation.
you'll get through it, and you'll be stronger!
;)

Hugs, kisses and golden showers for FreAk.

Hey friend, don't be sad we love you and your boy loves you too, i lost my mom a long time ago but i still need, miss & love her and i'm 27 years old and married, i think that it doesn't matter how old you are you always need your little piece of heart, and yes it happens that some days we feel li sh*****t, but don't worry we are here for those day and for the happy ones too. Remember what Dave said "THERE IS LIGHT AT THE END OF THE TUNNEL" right?

amor y paz,

oh! sorry for my spelling! lol

Jez & Freak,
I know times look hard for you now and I wish I could say I know how you feel but I don't believe in that saying (or spell check) because no 2 experiences are the same. I can say in my life I've been through more shit than most people would understand and the only piece of advice I was ever given that helped me through it all came from my little sister
"Time heals all"
If you need anything you have my e mail address and I am more than happy to listen and I promis I will use spell check on my reply. =)

For those of you going to Sam Goody read this; they will sell the book until 10/12 first come first serve, my husband went there today(sam goody) and that's the info they gave him.

ok i was just scrolling through the channels, and on Fuse, i heard your name, so, obviously i stopped flipping channels and glued myself to the tv. The announcers said that you would be on the show tomorrow, so I just checked the tv guide, because I didn't know what the show was, and it's called "daily download" on Fuse channel.

So put a post-it note on your tv or whatever you do to remember things.

by the way, WELCOME BACK LUIZ!!

Hey, I'm new:) and I just wanted to say that yesterday made my entire year. Also, It was soo great to meet all the wonderful people on the line! You guys were so nice:)

blizardi

ellen wanted me to post that fuse is for wednesday not today, tuesday. and that there are still spots left so you can call 212.324.3483 or
email them (AUDIENCE@FUSE.TV) WITH "DAVE NAVARRO" IN
THE SUBJECT HEADING with your name, number, and day you want to go in.

i also wanted to say that after reading the book, i think you accomplished your goal of not glamorizing drug use/abuse, but instead portraying it as a harrowing, horrifying, and eventually, life-stealing existence. observing my uncle, who was a heroin addict for 30 years, added to this feeling, but your book does not give the impression that you led a glamorous life during that year...in fact...it's the total opposite. congratulations on ending the story with hope and light, and for accomplishing the hard goal of not glamorizing the hollywood drug scene. i can now understand why the book was delayed for so long, and the reason for having a story of hope. i read the book in like an hour...it was just an engrossing and totally captivating book, and i'm so happy to see that it seems like you're really at a point where you're happy and comfortable in your life. thank you for sharing this story with others...i'm sure your story has touched many people's lives, including mine.

Hey Dave n' "fam"
I've just finished ur book.....amazing stories Dave. Thank God your still here with us!!! The suicide struggle really hit home for me, my brother suffered with addiction and lost his struggle at 21. I was 14, that's when my journey started with addiction, to ease my pain with his death that took 10 years to heal. I didn't know that you struggled with suicide Dave, I'm so glad you overcame those demons!!! I enjoyed your book, thank you for the insight, I laughed I cryed and sighed in relief at the end!!! Take Care u's Peace n' luv

Hey Dave,

Just wanted to tell you I got the word out about the book release to 2 of our local (ATL) biggest radio markets today and both aired it. They originally didn't have it in their "news pile", "celebrity news", or whatever you want to call it, but both complied and aired it.
Peace

Hi Dave and fam,
I'm still reeling from yesturday... so unreal! The book is awesome... I was actually physically crying at some parts + what is says about Dave being able to seduce anyone through words is so true. I was so flustered when I met him + I'm almost never like that + I really tried not to be + I was sorta ok until he started talking, but then it was over. I don't know why but I just couldn't help it...Denise, it's ok - we can be gushing groupies together :)

jezzi - Hang in there! I'm sure everything will be ok. Try to keep positive. If you were able to clean yourself up for your son and you've been clean for this long, then there is no reason to go back to it. Even when he grows up he is still a reason to be clean because no matter how old you are a mother is so important. As far as having a purpose, I've come to the conclusion thar we have no purpose. We are born, we live, we die and that's about it. But that does not mean that life is meaningless. Life is about the journey, the road that you choose to take, the path that you choose to follow. There will always be good and bad times in your life. Hold onto the good and deal with the bad, but always know that it will get better, even when things seem hopeless, they will get better. If you can find someone to love and someone who loves you, who cares for you, that person can pull you through whatever darkness you have found yourself in. It sounds like that person to you is your son. You have put so much of yourself into making a better life for him and I know that he will never forget that. You're one step ahead because you have someone that you love and who loves you back.

I forgot... if you don't mind, would you guys watch this trailer...

I'm rather dissapointed with it, but please tell me what you think... Dave that includes you!

~TA

So yesterday I had the longest day ever at work... couldn't leave to get to Barnes & Noble to buy a book and get it signed by Mr. 6767 himself... but my darling little boyfriend went and stood on line for me... and when I got home, instead of being pissed off about my day, I had a brand new "Don't Try This at Home" made out to moi.. and that's nothing to be pissed about. I can't wait to read it... First, I have to stop reading Dave's signature over and over. Anyway, thank you, Dave, for making my Monday. Ha... and I think you made Eric's Monday too. I gave him plenty of thanks as well. ;-)

PS My boss can kiss my ptootie on the 21st... I will be at Irving Plaza.

Hey Dave,
I just wanted to say I'm a huge fan and simply wanted to know that we all apprecite the time and effort you put into running an interacite site like this.

Jezzi!!! Big hugs for you...I sent you a kick in the arse email to you...but its with lots of love;) You are better than you think you are, and we all know that here. See ya soon! :)

FreAk~~~Super big hugs and smiles to you my friend...no more sad FreAk pleeeeease!!! :) :D :D

*******Hugs to Jezzi and FreAk*******

Dave,

This might appear weird and should so fittingly? I hope you contact me via email so I can explain all this more in detail and I know you are busy as we all are. I am friends with stephen perkins, always wanted to jam w/ banyan for years, I have a style that incorporated your octave runs and the like--anyways, I started a womens clothing company called sweetits where I donate $ to the Susan B Breast Cancer Foundation. It started with a sweetarts logo, now I have moved away and am starting an entire new catalog/website with new logos, ect. I gave stephen's wife a shirt last time I saw them @ 14 below and hope that you would be in support of a great cause. My hope is that your wife Carmen will like and wear it. It can be offending to some individuals and I am not here to offend, just follow thru with my plan and see what happens. You can call stephen on this one, I am currently trying to book banyan down here in San Diego this Fall after they get back from UK--I was in Philly all weekend--my brain is still changing like the leaves back east...last but not least, I have sweetits in a party in SD http://www.c4productions.com where Entertainment TV will be there filming for a new pilot show so I am gearing for that full of stoke. Its a halloween party downtown that should go off? I would also like to be filled in on what you are doing with your new band, I would like to help you out in San Diego if I can promoting wise? Its funny how all this started with just wanting to jam with perkins and watt in a different hellride style but you nevetr know until it grows. Thanks for your time--I am going to call steven tonight--willie as well. Thanks, Bob
http://www.sweetits.com

http://www.illegalproductions.com - My friends Company who is helping me and lots of local SD bands.

Probably couldn't measure the stoke if you got back to me but patience is where it is at so I will see eventually, I write rhymes to go to rest cause I used to be so depressed. Hit me back kid--and good work in the celebrity no limit hold em'...

OK sorry if this has been asked before, but I couldn't find the answer.

I just checked tvguide.com and I can't find when Dave will be on Carson. It says on the calender of events that he will be on Carson today, but tvguide.com says someone else is going to be on. I looked for him all week too and he doesn't show up!! HELP ME!!

thank you in advance,

-c

Hey Dave and everyone-

Just posting for the first time to say hi, and to stop, as Dave put it to me, "lurking". Well, I will probably still just come to observe sometimes, but at least now I will have introduced myself. I'm Keith, boyfriend of Twisted Angel, better known to me as Sarah. HI!!!!

P.S.- Dave, it was really such an incredible experience meeting you- so much so, that I'm sure I forgot to congratulate you on your book. I think it takes a lot of balls to put yourself out there like that, especially depicting yourself at such a dark time in your life- Truly courageous. Also, you were extremely nice and I don't know whether or not I thanked you for the compliments you gave both myself and my girlfriend, but either way, I'll just thank you now. Good luck with the rest of your book-promoting journeys.

dave,
great meeting you at the manhattan book
signing.
im the guy who gave you the t-shirt and
asked about animal avengers. im very involved
with animal welfare so i had to take the opportunity to network. sorry if i came
across as kinda pushy. the t-shirt is a
different story. hey congratulations on
the book and good luck with MAP

Oh no shame on me cos I'm definately not GGG.

i dunno if anyone else has written this, but at sam goody they do not have the book today for some odd reason. they said they do not know when they will have it but it will definitely be there the day it is to be signed...calling is a good idea to find out when they will have it. i drove there...if there are others who are calling to find out when it will be there can ya post when they have it? i think i might just go really early on the 12th to buy the book and get it signed. the person there said the line will start forming at 7am. what time does that store open anyways?

"Start forming at 7am" at 7 am really for a book signing at 7:00 p.m.? Wow, so I'm assuming they don't have wrist bands right now since they still don’t have the book right? I can’t go get them until Friday. Anyhow, can anyone be kind enough to hold me a spot on Tuesday? There is no way I can get there early for the signing. I think the earliest I can get there will probably be 6:15 p.m. and I still have to work that out with the boss lady. How long will Dave be there??

Jezzi and Freak I’m sending tons of positive vibes in your direction.

i'm sorta hoping the person who told me that the time was 7am might've been wrong, like maybe he saw 7pm but just mixed up the am and pm...cause that is very very early. i don't wake up anywhere near that time. i think i actually go to sleep around then. anyways, i can hold spots for anyone who wants. i will probably get there around noon. or 3pm at the latest. ummm...i just need some way to recognize who i am to be saving spots for. and whoever would be interested would probably need to know who i am too...and maybe if anyone is nice enough, then if you buy the book before tuesday, can ya get one for me too? and the wristband. i will definitely pay you as soon as i see you. i swear it on this site. e-mail me if you can do that, or want a spot saved.

Hey C, I'm on it. I'm going to check into the day/time for the show, and if I find that there has been a change, I'll update the calendar now. I'm also going to update the change of location for the California signing. Thanks for the heads up!

Spreading the love,
Deena

Hey Everyone,

For all of you going through difficult times, I feel for you. Keep your chin up and think good thoughts.

I have to do the same. Rumor has it that my office is laying off a bunch of people tomorrow... and that includes much of the Marketing department, where I've worked for the past 6 years.

It will be difficult, but either way, it will work out for the best. I like to believe that my greatest professional and personal accomplishments are still to come. And the good thing is, I will have plenty of time to read DDTAH!

Wish me luck!

Love,
-Denise

well, it's nice to know i wasn't the only one who drove all the way to Sam Goody today. the guy told me 7am too. he was kind of a dick. when i asked him why they didn't have the book, he said "we just don't". i think i'm gonna call all day and see when the line really starts forming. it was like that in NY right? and he also said that you don't need to buy the book there to get a wristband. so basically, i think they hand out wristbands when the line start forming. i wonder how many people they are going to let in and how long it will last. well, anyway, i am going to try and be there soon. i don't know how possible it will be to save spots in line. i'll be wearing a name tag for sure, so if anyone sees me in line before them, go for it.

<3 Sarah

"e-mail me if you can do that, or want a spot saved."
I'm buying two books on Friday so I can give you the extra wrist band provided they have them that day. Hopefully I can get the buttons I ordered by then (I only ordered 100). About recognizing each other I personally can’t think that far ahead to tell you what I’ll be wearing but I can tell you one thing, I’ll have a couple of buttons on me ;D.

Hope that helps a little,
Wendy

i meant to say it WASN'T like that in NY...

I had the same question about the Daly show. What a couple of us concluded was that the show taped today (3:45) we believe. It airs next week. Is that correct? I am setting the VCR for tonight and next week 'cause I don't want to miss Dave!

Take a bite out of that apple, D ~

me

Good luck Denise, remember everything happens for a reason.

Woah..Really great photo of Dave, was it not? :) Thanx for all these posts.

Hello Dave! Hello Fam !

I haven't got my copy of DTTAH yet, but by the weekend I will have it.

Yes, re WhitePony's post, there is a "little" trip planned for myself to take some time to try to clear my head. It's 2.5 days from Toronto to Colorado then 2 days there then return trip. I hope to leave a lot of things that have been bugging me recently along the roadway on my journey. Travel plans set... I'm ready to go. I might report back in from there, IF Pony will let me use the computer I sent to him.. lol.

Freak, MY MAN, HUGE respect for you. You truly are a great friend and I just hate to hear of friends in a rough spot. It will all work out.. Keep well my friend.

Some will know of my past troubles via private chats and I appreciate all the support everyone has shown to me. Thank you all. I am just not one to post if I do not really have much to say but I just had to say something today.

Once I return, I hope to have more pleasant thoughts but right now, it's just really tough. I hope this trip can help clear out the garbage that's running around in my head.

P.S. Dave thank you for this space, I think I am realizing more and more, from the experiences that I read from others that post on this site and their struggles, it really inspires me to get my life back in order and to move forward again. To you Dave, Thank You kind of falls short but it is the best I can do right now.

PEACE and RESPECT.

Bruce Horne

Thanx, Wendy. :)

Yo Dave, I have your Three Days DVD ( BADASS!!!) and I noticed you using something that women love & scream about and I was woundering how you came around to approaching the guitar with it I mean I you have used a ebow w/RHCP and I us a tv remote for some crazy effects but a vibrator is the sickest thing ever and I mean that in a good way!Was that idea original or did somone leek the secret to you? Anyways ya gotta bust it out again on some future tunes! Dave you never seem go dull, remember keep rocking the wah!
Ekim/Mike

I'm yet another one who went to Sam Goody tonight with no luck. I'll definitely be checking every day to see if the books came. The one I preordered from amazon.com was only shipped today and I should get it by the 9th. Hopefully I'll be able to get 2 books signed.
I'll be at the signing around 2pm but will be getting the book and ticket/wristband as soon as the book is available. I'll be happy to pick up a ticket/wristband for anyone.

Maria

poor Dave is probably going to have major writer's cramp by the time he's done with the book signings...

What did you do today, Dave? Press?

Maria

"poor Dave is probably going to have major writer's cramp by the time he's done with the book signings... "

I have to sign printing reqs here at work and after 10 I get sick of it; I really don't know how he handles 100's of signatures at a time. Have you guys seen that Citibank (i think) commercial with the check signing. Hilarious!

Indeed poor Dave.

LOL Wendy!!! That's exactly what I thought of when I was thinking about Dave signing all those books, one after the other...for that reason he probably doesn't mind a little chatter as long as it doesn't mean prolonging the agony!!

Hello family,
I just finished sending the last of my thank you emails to everyone who offered advice and good wishes. I haven't even met most of you. I can't believe that people who don't even know me, would take the time to offer words of encouragement, and I guess, DAVE, that speaks to your ability to bring good people together
( I was waiting for good wishes from 'molly', and, of course, my man 'emi', but they didn't come :(

ok, so, here's the thing. I am, after 13 years away from the devil's candy, still susceptible. I am so close to achieving a goal I have worked 10 years of my life for, yet, in danger of blowing it completely. I don't ask people I know for help, I hate telling my sad stories to those who have heard it all. I have never given my professors any excuses for missed assignments, or mental meltdowns. I reached out, in desperation, to this community that has accepted me, sight unseen, and seen. I am humbled and shamed by your response.

I sit here, at my commodore, exhausted...I still haven't completed my narrative, but I have gained perspective. I look at my boy, sleeping peacefully beside our sweet dog, and I realize that I have to pull my head out of my ASS...(ok, won't go into worn out comedic routine here). I am reminded of Desiderata, the poem I am fond of quoting.

Do not compare yourself to others, lest you become vain and bitter, for always there will be greater and lesser people than yourself. ...Beyond a wholesome discipline, be gentle with yourself.

Thank you, Mr. Navarro. Thank you for the climate of acceptance and love you have fostered here. I hope I get the chance to tell you this in person.

and thanks to all of you...you know who you are...
I am back, at least temporarily, to my manic self.

say something funny....
jezzi

OK~

Q.) "What's a 'butfor'?"

A.) "...pooping, silly"

hee hee hee

I was at the court a couple weeks ago and the prosecutor was explaining to the jury the "but-for" analysis to prove her case, and I couldn't stop giggling inside!

good lord, look at me. I didn't address my fellow panic agents!

Jezzi- hang in there girl. Live in the moment and enjoy the little things life has to offer- the sunrise in the morning, the bright flowers along a walkway/in a park, the sweet smile on a stranger's face, the smell of your favorite perfume/calogne... and of course the people who love and care about you (family, freinds, etc). There are so many great things life has to offer waiting for you.
I know I have been stuck myself with certain things I've had to complete for school... and sometimes when it doesn't go, it just doesn't go and it seems like an impossible task. Brain constipation if you will. Then when you say "forget it!" and leave it, come back to it an hour later or the next day, the inspiration suddenly comes and you finish faster then you thought you would. It never works for me if I force it.

Freak- I'm not sure what all is going on with you, but I hope it all ends up ok. Almost always in the end everything turns out just fine. As someone mentioned, time heals.

Greetings to all panic agents on here

special shout out to those from the RHCP message board I see on here.

Maria

Just a little input about the signing in L.A. The NYC signing was small and intimate, roughly
100 people or so. 7:00am sounds insane. I
honestly think there will be no problem as I expect L.A. to be similar. Call the store on the day and make sure you have time. I'd hate to see anyone wait around for longer than they have to.

Here's what I found for Carson Daly next week:
Th 10/14: Rupert Everett, Dave Navarro, the Hives
Fr 10/15: Carmen Elektra, Mo Rocca, Austin Stevens, Joseph Arthur

Hey Dave,
I'm new here from the nations capital of Australia. I'm a big fan man, i become a fan when you were in the chilis and now i've got onto the stuff you did in Janes and Deconstruction. I'm looking forward to The Panic channel starting up, any future plans in touring down under?, you're loved down here man!! Is there anyway i can here your broadcasts of camp freddy online?

Sorry to be a boar but what I really wanted to ask you for some advice.
I'm young man about to turn 21( the same day as flea!) and i've secretly battled demons (maybe drug related) for the last couple of years.It has affected my self esteem and has given me bouts of depression ,anxiety and pychosis like paranoia. I'm currently getting therapy ,it's put me at a allright place now and i started doing yoga and meditation to help my mind be clear(i noticed you do this to). I'm a guitarist (thanx for the influence mate)and have just started a new band and have a seriously good feeling about where it could go!, With your experience in the darkside and music and all what advice could you offer me? ( i would of waited till you book for some possible anwers but we don't get it here till december)
thanking you Muchly Mr Navarro,
Nick
