Louis Vuitton: Making Dreams Come True

ATL Guest List: Jackie Carbone + 1, Michael Foster +1, Jeremiah Johnson +1, Joy Johnson +1, Lynn Zingale +1

Good morning everybody. Just getting ready to go to Atlanta for New Year's eve. 08 was a pretty spectacular year as some really amazing things have taken place:

1. Obama elected President
2. Original Line-UP Jane's shows
3. The Netflix "Watch Instantly" feature

Yup, that's pretty much it. :)

Lemme back track to Christmas for a moment to share with you a Christmas miracle that has taken place! Remember when Louis Vuitton sent me a cease and desist letter regarding my using the Louis Vuitton guitar straps I had been given years ago? Well, after posting about it here back in June it became one of those "light net stories" picked up by bloggers who have nothing better to write about and evidently got back to the people at Louis Vuitton. I ended up speaking to a representative for the company and I sent her one of my old LV straps so she could see first hand what I had been using. (Partly to see and partly to turn over I suppose.) Well, today I am the proud owner of the only LV guitar strap ever made in Paris by Louis Vuitton! They took great care in keeping the length the same and even fitted the piece with the exact strap locks I use for my guitars. What an amazing gift that I will no doubt cherish and use forever. Thank you Louis Vuitton!

Dave I'm glad! LV suits you well, so very cool. Happy New Year to you and here's to seeing more of you in '09.

Good to see ur nail polish is not chipped this time! If those are your nails, and not your lesbian mustached blogwriter's nails. No offence to lesbians meant at all.

Good for you! Not your fault if the people who work there don't have memories. I mean, why give you the straps if you're not allowed to use them. It's not like they were fake....were they? Have fun in Atlanta! Don't take any small plane rides! Diggin'the nails. Have a very similiar color from L'Oreal. Think it's called 'jet'. I do the tips w/blue andthe rest gets a full coat of sheer pink. Been doin' that on occaision since the 80's. Ques.....where the HELL is the Dec.23rd podcast!!!!!! Who's BUTT gets kicked at Indie for this!? Have a great night tomorrow! I'm sure you won't be lacking for co. when midnight comes around. ;} Take care! C

Hi Dave,

Hope you are enjoying the holiday season and have a great New Year's gig.
May 2009 bring you peace, joy, love... and Camp Freddy to the San Francisco Bay Area.

Best wishes,
Curvilinear

Glad LV finally came to their senses! that was ridiculous.

Posted by: Sue [TypeKey Profile Page] at December 30, 2008 05:37 PM


Wow! that really is a Christmas miracle- would be cool to see you in their fall 09 campaign. Just you and the LV straps. I can totally see that working- September Vogue...billboard in times sq.

Happy New Year!

That's pretty cool, I hope the strap is numbered and signed, so one day it will sell for a great profit on eBay! J/K

Happy New Year everyone...xoxo

Dude that's dope!

In '08, you went from being threatened with litigation for your use of some swap meet Louis to rocking an original, one-of-a-kind piece! What a world, lol.

Posted by: Spencer [TypeKey Profile Page] at December 30, 2008 07:03 PM


You know they'll look so much better once the leather naturally tans to the dark patina ;-)

The Venetian in Vegas made my LV dreams come true, I put a $20 in a progressive penny slot machine for shits and giggles at 2am. Hit $1098 on the first pull. Cashed in. Went to the Forum shops the next day with my cash and bought the large Alma bag.

Posted by: Robin [TypeKey Profile Page] at December 30, 2008 07:16 PM


Hey Dave,

Happy Holidays, etc. Now that you have the real deal LV strap, you should unload that cheap knockoff on a longtime fan, say, for example, me. That would be a Christmas miracle. I have to ask because I also brought it up back when you had the first incident with LV over the summer – check the post.

Of course, I’m not looking for hand-outs and would be happy to pay a fair-swap meet price, plus shipping. I’m only semi-joking.

Whatever you decide, have a happy new year and enjoy ATL.

Rob

A few things abt. Dark Matter(12/24). You can NEVER say Jess's name on air. That's how people request to be 'friends' w/ her on MySpace. They have to type in her last name. As for Steven, he got pinched in JUly(18th). A judge sentenced him in Aug. After he pleaded guilty, he was ordered to go back to rehab. *SIGH* I can't BELIEVE you're STILL asking the ques. abt. Obi-wan & the droids! If you 2 are kidding,sorry for going off but if you aren't....ARE YOU FREAKIN' KIDDING ME!???!!!Did you not see the first 3 Star Wars movies?! I mean the newer 3. Ever hear of Padme Amidala?! The droids were hers. In 'Sith', at the end, Obi-wan has their memories erased. Of course, he knew them but he was right. He never OWNED any droids. Get it? He kind of lied abt. it, yeah. But he also was obtuse abt. many other things. NO senility. No Alzheimer's. Hope this FINALLY clears up this matter. Again if you were joking...sorry. C

Hope you have safe travels to and from the ATL and Happy New Year! May 2009 be even better and bring many exciting events. I don't believe I have to say hope you have a good time because I know you will. Oh yeah, the LV strap is dope!

Much Love and Respect,
-Kirsten

Posted by: aymes [TypeKey Profile Page] at December 30, 2008 10:04 PM


oh, yeah if anybody cares my top for '08
1. obama
2. killing wolves being overturned
3. getting into nursing school- which is kinda hard to do these days
4.my brother getting his masters from coloumbia (in nyc) who is now working for all of us in the department of energy(yes, our tax dollars pay his salary- and we should be very proud)- in the EPA- and had to haress them to pay him enough... he took shit to help this country.
5. being w/ my dysfunctional family for christmas when my flight was the second southwest flight that had gotten out of pdx to sjc in three dayz- we banned gifts this year, momz tree almost caught on fire and we played catch phrase till collapse- it was awesome.
so happy new year to all the 67'ers
m and yoli tell your mom to kick but in rehab, PT's can be mean and so are properly trained and caring CNA's and nurses... the pain is worth it.- it's all in a good way.
the best, amy

happy new year everyone.
may it be a new day, everyday, to reflect upon the goodness in our lives.
That Louis V deal blew my mind. What were they thinking? because, I worship at the throne of Louis V! I am quite happy things worked out the way they did b/c I vote with my pocket book. If you are mistreated by Louis V people, then I don't shop there!
peace and rock on, Lindapolverini.

Posted by: polverini [TypeKey Profile Page] at December 31, 2008 05:37 AM


Yay! I'm so happy for you...I told Mar back when all this was happening that LV was going to make one for you and they did...(I just looooove being right)...lol

Now I'm going to take LV bag out again...I put it away when this happened. They give you shit..they give all your fans shit...right? right.

Have fun tonight, be safe, Happy New Year and God Bless!

Peace and Love...........Yoli


HAPPY NEW YEAR EVERYONE! BE SAFE AND DON'T DRINK AND DRIVE.

Congratulations on the new LV strap!
It's always preferable to be treated with goodwill, respect and miraculous manifestations. ;-)

Have fun in Atlanta and a year of great expectations in '09.

Happy New Year to all who tune in to 6767!

HAPPY NEW YEAR DAVE AND EVERYONE AT 6767!!!!

Complete saddo that I am, I was trying to work out why everything in that photo is reversed, it would be easy enough to photograph the logo the right way round......but then we'd miss out on the blue nail varnish....... good colour, by the way.

Hey Dave,

Thanks again for the Camp Freddy tickets last week. It was an incredible way to end 2008. Have a great New Years.

I can't wait to see what 2009 has in store for all of us!

Enjoy the LV guitar strap.

Happy New Year Dave and to the 6767 family!

I don't get the opportunity to get on here often unless I'm at my course and have a break during classes. Just on holiday break till feb...

Dave, I've just caught up reading your latest blogs and what you said about music no matter the age was inspiring & encouraging...I'm not old hahaha... Im 22, but I've had to put music on hold to undertake degree studies so that I can get a job..and yeah I'm thinking about retraining as a classical singer & also getting classical piano lessons & hopefully I'll pick up the guitar one day lol...

Hope alls well.

Take care and Blessings,

Love

Nancy :)
