THE WAR OF THE HATS
Ok people. To clarify exactly what a beanie is, I have posted a pic of me in a Versace beanie. They are knitted winter hats with a turn up that has a logo on it. (Although that particular one is in a heavy knit and has a long, smurf-like top that hangs over the back! But you get the idea.) These are not the tight fitting knitted skull caps that A+F do (come on Jay - do you think we would do such a thing?!!) but the type of hat that just about every band has in its merch catalogue. We cant please absolutely everyone, but overwhelming opinion is that these would be a cool next item. So I will make some enquiries about getting some done next week. Stay tuned.
My pic went up outside Guitar Center in Naperville, Il yesterday. Thats just outside Chicago. So if you live anywhere near, go print out the Doheny dice from our main site (www.dohenymusic.com) and stick it up on the wall next to the picture and take a shot of it!!
I'm still feeling rough, so I'm keeping it brief again. Just wanted to say hi to everyone and hope you all have a great weekend. If you are looking for something to do this weekend, go check out photographer Michael Muller's exhibition, called Superfamous. I went to the opening and the prints are just amazing. Michael has shot Doheny and is a dear friend, so get down to Lo-Fi and check it out. Here's the details. "Superfamous" runs through December 25 at Lo-Fi Gallery, 1038 North Fairfax Avenue, between Melrose Avenue and Santa Monica Boulevard, L.A. (323-654-5634 or mullerphoto.com).
Peace
Billy

Billy,
Thanks for the clarification on the beanies, you had me worried.
It's great to see a band actually listening to it's fanbase.
Rock on.
Thanks,
Jay

Hey Billy,
That is a SWEET picture...of a picture...lol..very cool.
Is that a guitar pick around your neck on that chain? What's the story behind it?

See, I thought that was what a beanie was. A Doheny beanie will do me well, winter's getting cold **brrr**
What sort of logo would go on it though? The Di, the dh or the full doheny?

hey billy, love the and the hat. I think the new dh logo would look very nice. Are we just going with the black?
*sigh* my vacation is over, back to work on Monday, where does the time go when you're enjoying yourself.
Also, glad to hear your slowly making your way back to the land of the living. I'm like you, I rarely get sick but when I do it's bad, I'm ususally out a few weeks. *knock on wood* I haven't had a really bad cold in 3-4 years now.
Also re your last message, a band chat would be awesome, whenever you all have some time to spare. I know this is a busy time for you all. Maybe one day colin and tony might make an appearance. ;) Tell them we don't bite... well except for Lisa and maybe Heidi... but then if they show up they'll have to put up with the fear of Heidi calling them hon. ;)
lots of hugs,
tina

Another chat would be great, and this time I will try to keep my typos in check!!

the beanies: the lids~ good one, yeah and not tight-on-the-head-style is much better than those ones that feel like a frikkin headband-clamp!.
So.... wanted to throw in one more fine lyric chunk offa "Dope Dogs" by George Clinton
....."Damn right it's drug-related, this shit is dope!"

Get well soon Billy!
Nice little rant about the beanie you had going today! :P j/k
I cannot believe how much we are all going on about a hat! :D
It's too funny.
To all the dudes~dudettes like beanies on guys. That should settle the matter right there. Okay, well Billy has already settled the matter, but I had to add that.
Fantastic pic behind you there Billy. Wow! Love it.
Very tribal.
Take care, we'll miss you on CFR tonight. Be well.
Love Lisa xxxx

Hey Billy,
We are all missing you on CFR tonight. I guess they were having a bit of audio trouble when the show first started. I'm listining online, and Dave is sounding a bit funny, like there's an echo. So, being the smart-ass that I am, I called in and told him he sounded like he was in a tunnel! LOL I don't think he got my joke though..lol He just told me that they would work on it. LMAO
Anyhoo, they are talking about giving you a call right now, so I'm outta here.
Feel better!
Posted by: flamingheart at November 20, 2004 06:57 PM
Me again...
Thanks for stopping by the chat earlier. We were all moaning about how CFR wasn't the same without ya, and then you showed up online! Too cool.

hugs,
tina

Oh, I see what's going on here Tina...it's all right for YOU to call Billy "hon", but when I f*ck up my typing and say "hi hon" to Jon, I NEVER hear the end of it!!!
LMFAO!! :-P
Posted by: flamingheart at November 21, 2004 12:07 AM
Heidi HON, I take it as my right because I'm probably older than everyone here and I can say whatever I want to. :b
snogs,
tina
