It's that time of year again!!!
Dave's 41st Birthday Book/Contest for 2010 is now officially ON.
Before designing or writing up your entry for the birthday book, please take a moment to read the rules. There is great information there to help you out and reading it will hopefully stall any and all problems that might happen. Some content is not allowed so just make sure that you have all of the rules before you get too far along into your designs. I can't make exceptions for anyone so don't be offended if I tell you that you need to edit.
It's also a good idea to read the rules because it contains information on our contest / prize for this year.
So get busy, everyone. The clock is ticking and I need your contributions by January 12 @ 6pm New York City time.

Would you like to read a Q&A with Dave in the most recent Rolling Stone magazine (Issue 1093 Dated Dec. 10, 2009 with Taylor Lautner on the cover)? Of course you would. Just click on the image below.
Don't forget Foo Fighters on VH1's Storytellers tonight!!!

First of all, Happy Thanksgiving to my American brothers & sisters. This year I am thankful for family, beautiful friends, and all of the wonderful opportunities that I've had this year in regards to this website. Thank you, everyone for continuing to support the insanity here. ;-)
Let's see...where to begin? This is a long update:
Sometimes when you go to Them Crooked Vultures concerts in Seattle, WA and you wave at someone, they wave back at you (which is REALLY cool because the trip was your birthday gift) and what's even cooler is when someone snaps the photo for you because you were too busy getting your ass kicked in the mosh pit/front row:
I want to say that my friend Linda and I stood firm and all you 20-somethings that went over the barrier - you're lightweights. Sure, I'm black & blue from my neck down, but that's the way you do it, you know? I think New Kids on the Block probably said it best when they said "Hang Tough", right? Pfft, you kids who couldn't take it were probably AT NKOTB concerts recently. Why am I talking about NKOTB?
Here are some of Linda & my photos from Seattle. Again, I apologize because they are not the best quality and they are few. Ass. Kicked. Front Row. Kind of hard to hold a camera still and focus.

Here are some other photos from Seattle (not mine, obviously)

If you would like to read a few reviews on the Seattle show, here are a few links:
If you attended the Portland, OR show, there is a review here for Sunday Night's show.
Shelley from Q Magazine e mailed to say that Dave will be featured on their next cover as part of their "Artists of the Century" edition. You can click on the images below to enlarge and you can read HERE what Shelley sent over.

Wow. Amy Winehouse has some big ol' boobies now.
Ross Halfin took the following photos of Dave for the upcoming Mojo magazine feature (I believe it is now in stores). Credit for these goes to Paul over at FooArchive.com

Krista sent over this link to listen to "Them Crooked Vultures" on Rockline.
Don't forget that VH1's Storytellers featuring Foo Fighters is on this Friday at 11pm Eastern (New York) time. Half of the Foo Fighters postboard was in attendance. Should be fun to try to spot the Foo Fans.
Check out Frank:
And last, but certainly not least, make sure to check back later this weekend as I'll have up the rules for Dave's annual Birthday Book & contest. I have the grand prize now and our birthday books are always a lot of fun. This is your chance to tell Dave Happy Birthday and how much you *gasp* adore and love him. Nerds.

Hi Kids...
Happy album release day. Make sure you have your copy. I've been listening all morning and I want to lick this album it's so good.
Let me know if you're at the Seattle show this Saturday as I will be there as well. It was my birthday present this year!

Tom from NME Magazine asked that I let you know that this week's issue features "Them Crooked Vultures" and you should probably pick up a copy:
Our friend Elle picked up this German magazine "Visions" which also featured 'Them Crooked Vultures'. Thanks for the scans, Elle. I cannot translate these so if you happen to speak German, fell free to translate for us!

Dustin Rabin Photography features 'Them Crooked Vultures' on the cover of Rolling Stone (I think this is actually the Australian edition for December??)
Be sure to check out all the photos at that website including:
Here's a video from MTV European Music Awards - I hope that you can view it outside of the United States. Sometimes (a lot of the times) MTV restricts videos to specific countries
There a ton of photos out there from this event, but I'll just post a few that I sort of liked: (Click to Enlarge)
I know most of this stuff is old news, but I'm behind and wanted to post it.
Also, you'll be seeing a million reminders in the next few weeks about Dave's upcoming birthday and our annual Birthday Book:

First, I'd like to say Happy 10 yr anniversary to 'There is Nothing Left to Lose'. For very personal reasons, that's the album that "saved my life" in a sense. I'll blog about it sometime, but not right now.
I also wanted to share this with my fellow Foo Fighters fans. This is really great to watch.
A Brief History of Foo Fighters...

And at the risk of sounding like a great, big nerd, I just want to say that the Facebook concert from Foo Fighters the other night was incredible. Of course we're all nerds sitting around our computers and chatting with our Foo-friends that we've made over the years but it really was a lot of fun to interact with one another and watch the band that we all love. The "set list" was amazing. I really couldn't believe that Wattershed, Enough Space & Weenie Beenie were all played. Excellent. I hope you guys put that shit out on DVD because I'll buy it up, and if you do decide to broadcast your rehearsals once a week or month - I know a lot of nerds that will watch every one of those rehearsals.
