AVN ~ Tour
So the AVNs are over and I have to tell you... I had a fuckin blast out there. I have been to a lot of award shows in my days but none have ever been as fun and loose as the AVNs. They feel a lot more like a celebration of the industry than a competition. Perhaps the fact that I am not in the porn industry has a lot to do with how it came off in my eyes. It also felt like there wasn't anyone looking for a poorly dressed entertainer or press looking for a screw up to blow out of proportion. It's rad that the industry is so raw and in your face that there really isn't any way to find "scandal". I gave out two awards at the show then hit Vegas till the early morning. I don't know why the music shows are so much stiffer... THAT industry has been fucking musicians for years! Anyway, now I am in Florida getting ready for the tour to kick off. We have our first show tomorrow at The Hard Rock, then we are immediately out for the next city. I'll try to get the guys to do a Podcast from the bus!

Hey Dave!
Glad to hear that TPC made it safely to Florida. Most of the country is getting hit by ice storms.
Enjoy the nice weather!
I can't wait to hear some podcasts!!!
I hope I don't miss 'em. I work during the day. If it's after 5 pm CST! I'm there!
Can't wait to see TPC on Feb. 3rd in IL!!!
I've made up my mind. I'm going to the concert solo. It was the only way to get a seat on the floor w/out paying an arm and a leg. Have a kick ass tour! Rock it, babe! Yes. I agree with Moon. Please post pics, podcasts, blogs or whatever.

Have fun on the road dude! Do they still have those 'Waffle House' restaurants on the freeways in the south? What about "Stuckey's" and their famous peanut logs?

Hi Dave,
i'm so happy things are going well for you, its nice to hear you having fun, as usual. your perspectives on life and your experiences are so refreshing to read. i know i am going to love these writings of yours from the road.
rock out tomorrow and bring the house down.
love you.
Posted by: season at January 16, 2007 01:00 AM
Hey, Dave. :-) I'm glad you and the guys are in Florida, ready to rock. From the glimpses I've seen in videos and interviews, the main tour set/stage looks pretty frickin' rad. Hope everyone has a safe, fabulous, kickin' fun time. The 'fun' part I *would* bet on, with Lukas, Tommy, Johnny, Toby and the rest of the boys together. LOL ^^ Please take good care of yourselves and I hope it's an awesome tour for everyone. :-)
Your current MySpace avitar makes me wonder if you've met Luke's 'boy,' Peanut, yet. LOL Absolutely adorable puppy--even has Lukas' distinctive 'eyebrows,' big brown eyes and 'soul patch' on the chin. LOL ^^
I'm glad you enjoyed doing the AVNs. You're looking very stylin', cool *and* 'hot' in that photo, bro. :-)
I'm looking forward to the podcast if you lads get the chance. Hugs, love, safe journey, positive energy and good vibes going out to y'all. :-) After waiting so long for the tour to start, it's almost hard to believe it's finally here. ^^ Thanks for 'checking in,' man. Peace to you and all the peeps. :-)
Posted by: Sanlin at January 16, 2007 03:13 AM

Posted by: ERIKA at January 16, 2007 07:14 AM

ENJOY the tour, have a wild, kick ass rocking time... plenty of FUN!
Can't wait for the podcasts.

Here you go baby. Have a blast. Can't wait to see ya in my hometown.
Love,

Dave, enjoy. we'llmissya~
Posted by: Carly at January 16, 2007 09:38 AM
Glad you had a great time at the awards show Dave. I'm still sad that you're not coming to Calgary. I had to see Evanescence last night instead. Amy Lee is really cool and I love to dress like her, but she's not YOU!!!!
I remembered something else you said last year:
"all that matters is that we are happy while we are here and that we do our best not to wrong others"-- or something like that.
As much as I wanted revenge against an ex who physically and emotionally abused me, I decided against it. It would've made me just as evil as him. That's not the type of person I want to be. That's not the type of person that Dave Navarro or Amy Lee would want me to be either. In the end, our behavior reflects not just on ourselves, but also on our families, friends, our social circles and the artists who inspire us. Sometimes you just have to put up with crap, choose to do nothing, and let it go.
Dr. Phil said "living well is the best revenge". And listening to Dave's awesome guitar chords in the RHCP, Jane's, and the Panic Channel and seeing Evanescnce live is the best revenge for me.
Take care of yourself, Dave.
<3 always

I love your sense of humor, Dave,. You're very quick. Just wondering..did you ever watch the old SCTV comedy series? If so, any favorite episodes? I wish you a successful and fun tour!

Dave,
Good to hear from you son!! can wait for the podcasts either! Billy & Matt were great on CFR but, you are going to be missed for 2 months!! I booked our airline tickets for the Chicago show! I cant believe it is finally here. The minute you said on air that you were going to tour the RSSN, I knew I was in! Enjoy the tour! NIKI
Posted by: merc957 at January 16, 2007 01:42 PM
Hey, Dave. :-) Hope you and the guys have an awesome time tonight, dude. I know you and all 'the boys' will rock the Hell out of that venue. (And, remind me not to try and spell words like "avatar" after three am, will you? LOL ^^) Sending y'all love, hugs, kickin' vibes and peace, bro. This tour is going to be so frickin' dope and absolutely 'the ill,' man. :-)
Posted by: Sanlin at January 16, 2007 01:58 PM

Hello Dave!
Enjoy the weather in Florida because in a few days, you will be enjoying our weather here in the Northeast..... Not too bad, yet.... hope it stays on the mild side for all of you....
So, do you plan on doing top 10's while you are on the road?
Can't wait to see you at Mr. Smalls!
Always,
me

Oh, Dave, oh Dave, my sexy fantasy lover....when oh when will you or can you come for a show to Cleveland!!!!! We need your sexy body and your wonderful work of musical art in our town!
I love (and lust) you!

Posted by: Jennifer at January 17, 2007 07:10 AM
The Panic Channel played great! Exceeded my expectations. Supernova was a little too loud for my taste. I know that makes me sound old but when you here the hissing of the speakers, that's too loud for my taste.
Great Show Dave!
Good luck on the rest of the tour!

I think i just realised something that brought me a weird sense of peace. Regarding Dave's Mad Skills on the 6-string...
Has anyone else noticed on this post's pic, that he appears to have 6 fingers on his left hand???? WTF??? It's either that or his left thumb is REALLY bendy. Either way, that pretty much explains why he kicks so much ass on the guitar, right? Better start counting Slash and JFrusciante's fingers too...
Peace!

glad you had fun! cute girl. who is she? have a blast with rssn! say hi to tommy for me!!! love much, jess.
Posted by: jess at January 17, 2007 03:02 PM
That's Jesse Jane.
She's a whore, with awful looking implants.
The HIV scares and the STD's that run rampant in the biz don't count as "scandal" to you Dave?
Posted by: blah_blah at January 17, 2007 03:23 PM
Hi Dave! Catching up on reading. Had a pretty
good good chuckle over the image of you and
Perkins watching "Driving Miss Daisy" during
your Morgan Freeman quest! Popcorn?!
Looking forward to reading the chronicles of
"Navarro on the Road"--always that wry sense of
humor sparkles through and makes me laugh!
keep well, sending much love, a.wolf

This goes out to blah blah: Sounds like some1 needs to get laid, and hard! Heehee.

Hey, Dave. :-) Hope you and the boys are having a frickin' awesome time. Looks to be the case from the pics of Tommy, Lukas and Toby WireImage posted from last night's afterparty. Extremely happy, excited looking group of lads--and goofing around with each other like crazy, of course. LOL Peace, love and safe travels, bro. :-)
Posted by: Sanlin at January 17, 2007 09:11 PM
Yeah well if these smart-assed music guys would STOP putting such a HURT on me all the damn time, maybe I could get myself in decent enough condition to BE laid...so in the meantime, I will just BE myself! And we all know what that means! LOL!!

Hola Dave - most definitely check out David Foster Wallace's essay on the AVN's in his book "Consider the Lobster" if you haven't already - intriguing perspective of the award show...also, any chance of having my (your) guitar signed at the Baltimore TPC show? I'll be heading straight from the (its) factory to the show (yes, we work saturdays!)...

I love the way you play guitar, Dave. You look so freakin cool, it's awesome! Maybe, I'll have to buy a ticket and come see you.
great youtube video, whoever you are that shot it.
And that 'Why cry' song sounds much better live! What happened to that song in the studio? It's like all of the good gnarly, pschodelic bits were shaved off.
Posted by: tammi at January 18, 2007 11:04 AM
Looks like TPC is stealing some Supernova thunder. Dave, all the Lukas on-line fans are jumping ship and singing the praises of one Steve Isaacs. Rock on TPC!!
