(If your totally clueless as to what this trip is all about, basically, We made a movie, won a contest, won 4 new cars & a VIP trip to LA.) enough talk, here's the sweet sweet pics (taken by Steve Wiseman):

ESQUIRE and ENTOURAGE!
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 

NEW MOVIE + ESQUIRE MAGAZINE + ENTOURAGE LA TRIP.

Hi!

Okay, 3 things to hype up.

1. I am going to be featured in the OCTOBER issue of ESQUIRE magazine! It's a featured
article at the front of the "100 most influential people in new media"
piece they're doing. This is totally rad, and it should be out on fine
bookshelves by mid-september. I'll for sure get an official release
date and post it ASAP. this leads to the 2nd, and arguably the most
exciting news...

:::Gettin' hyphy in the cobra! Still from new movie:::

2. An ALL NEW MOVIE is done! and will be released soon! It's one
the hottest movies we've ever done-

Here's the juicy details:

So, after I was interviewed by ESQUIRE, the idea was proposed for me to
do a movie to accompany the piece. Great idea. The article is going
to be called "Thing's I've learned", and the interviewer just asked me
about every different topic on life. (Movies, Girls, Cars, etc. etc.)
So the idea for the film was to do "Thing's I've learned: The movie"

:::This is a special deleted scene from the new movie:::

I have several different topics I talk about, then it's inter-cut with
funny short films, music videos and comedy skits... All in one action
packed 6 minute movie! it's crazyyyyyyyy

If you're really nice, I'll give you the super top secret link to check
it out early online... message me.

3. As you know, I won the HBO/ENTOURAGE contest with all my best
friends. Well, one of the great things about this prize package is
that we're taking a WILD VIP trip to Los Angeles California.

The trip dates are:
ARRIVE IN LA: Thursday, Sept. 14th.
LEAVE LA: Sunday, Sept. 17th.

It's gonna be like, THE WHOLE CREW. Me, JK, Jake, Joe, Mike- plus, LG
& Tera will be in LA already, sooooo yeah, it's gonna be crazy.

We've got the HBO camera crew following us around friday, and the rest
of the time they got us a fresh new camera to document the trip
ourselves. They are also bringing some Crossfire's down to LA so I can
do donuts in them.

We have to plan out some more details still, but i got this cool
idea... I'll post our travel itinerary online, and if you wanna hang
out with us any day and party, you'll know how to do it! Think of it
as the "VENDETTA STUDIOS MEET & GREET TOUR 2006!" yeah- so if you
have any crazy party ideas, message me and let me know- we'll crash
your party or something sweet. even if there is like, a cool concert
going on, let me know- i'd like to maximize the fun on this trip to a
highest level possible!

:::That's Champagne exploding. Another still from the new movie:::

Oh! and in completely NON-MOVIE related news, I randomly bought a huge
trampoline last week!

:::MASSIVE!!!:::

I have ALWAYS wanted a trampoline. It's the coolest thing ever. This
baby took like 6 1/2 HOURS to set up though. Me and Devin worked on it
from 1PM until 7:30PM. There are tons of steel pipes and springs
involved... it's Crackers.

Also, Check out VendettaStudios.com....

10.10.06 baby!

The all new clothing line will be released, online, in stores, and
HOTT. The series 1 theme was CLASSIC. The Series 2 theme was GUNS +
DIAMONDS. The all new Series 3 will be MIAMI. Bright blues & pinks,
palm tree and neon miami influenced designs. I got tons of revamped
logos and designs. LOOK OUT.

so, to re-cap:

NEW MOVIE COMING SOON.
PICK UP THE NEW OCT. 2006 ISSUE OF ESQUIRE.
CRAZY LA TRIP SEPT. 14TH - 17TH.
10.10.06 VENDETTA SERIES 3 CLOTHING LINE RELEASE.

BIG LA TRIP.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 



BACK FROM LA!!

wow. What a trip.

The amount of craziness that went down these past couple weeks is by FAR the craziest of my life.

Let me try to re-cap a bit:

1. Filmed a new movie I'm in for a couple days in Santa Clarita, California. (no, I can't tell you what it is yet... but its really really funny, and it will be out early next year!)

2. Stayed at an AMAZING house in the Hollywood Hills.


:::The Pool:::


:::over-looking LA::

3. Had a really SWEET rental car...

:::For $15 a day, you TOO can enjoy this piece of blue thunder!!:::

4. Had an interview with Esquire Magazine and I'm gonna be featured in their OCT. issue coming up. (shout out to Mike Sager!)

5. Had some MAJOR crazy big-time meetings!

Me and JK also enjoyed the following:
-Beautiful weather
-BBQ parties
-Surfing in the pool
-Jumping off the roof- into the pool
-In-and-out burger
- Bowling with Justin Johnson of Filmfights.
-seeing The Borat Movie... 3 months early. As a bonus, Jay Roach talked after.
-seeing John Tucker must die... at a regular theatre. (Jay Roach did not talk after.)

I also got a pair of vintage 1973 Jeans from Denim Revival I really enjoy.

Me and JK did NOT enjoy the following:
-LA radio. (K-Jazz is the only good stuff!)
-The Dae-Woo's gas mileage.
-The Traffic. (a new BMW 7-series Rear-ended me! The Dae-Woo showed no battle scars.)
- Mel Gibson.
- The Coyote that wanted to eat us.

All in all, the trip was amazing. So many exciting things are coming up, I can hardly wait for everyone to check it out!

Oh, and as if all that good stuff wasn't enough- We also just won the Myspace/HBO Entourage contest! !

Check it out!!

The prizes are FOUR (4) brand new Chrysler Crossfire's, Sprint phone + 2 years service, XBOX360, Trip to LA, Hotel + airfare, $1,000 spending money and an HBO camera crew is gonna follow us around out there for a couple days. Very cool stuff!

Huge Deals and Remixes
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Hi!

Okay, so I just got cast in my first big budget
Hollywood movie. I'll give you more details later
(and post pictures)... but anyways, I'll be in
California for about two weeks in the beginning of
August- Filming, having some meetings and doing many
other fun things too. Should be a super cool trip!

Besides all that stuff coming up in August, My life
(and most of the crew) has been dedicated to WRITING.
Right now, We're developing feature film concepts and
creating 50+ new short film ideas a month. I can't
wait to start filming these- the future holds many
movies!

Other than writing and thinking about movies, I've
been enjoying the beautiful weather here in Michigan.
Now if you're from Michigan, than you know that we
basically get about 3 months out of the year that's
nice. So you must take sweet sweet advantage of this!

Oh! and one more cool thing! My good friend and Music
Producer Derek Steele just made an awesome dance remix
of my film, "the Life & Times of Moliere"!! He took
clips from the movie and set it to a hott beat.
Download it for free here! You can also add Derek as
a friend on Myspace here.

My web designer Josh is going on vacation for 7 days,
so i feel obligated to make an update because he won't
be able to update the site from the beach. When he
gets back I'm going to start doing video updates or
something cool like that.

Alright, I hope everyone has a great day, talk to you
laterrrrr!!

-DL

Crazy, Crazy Stuff Here!
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

OMG!! Crazy stuff lately!!

Okay, so you should check out the newest issue of
COMPLEX mag and ROLLING STONE if you have not yet- fun
little articles in there about Myself and the Studio!

Been WRITING tons lately! Feature Film Screenplay, TV
show material, new skits, movies and short films!
Thinking about hit movies gets really exhausting after
you do it continually for 12-14 hours a day... So I
like to do things to take my mind off movies
sometimes.

This Week: X-TREME GOLF ACTION!

Me, JK and Joe got geared up, stole some carts and
raised hell on the 14th Green!

THE CHALLENGERS!

:::Me, Joe, and the final putt for the Clubman Cup Championship:::

:::Make this your screensaver, I dare you:::

Score-wise, we didn't fair too well on the course. My
average was somewhere from 6 to 12 shots per hole.

FUN-WISE, we all had a perfect HOLE-IN-ONE!!

Final, and COOLEST news to report:

ALL NEW MOVIE! Hooray!!

Do you guys watch that hit show on HBO, ENTOURAGE??
Okay, well we made a movie about it. Kind of our own
spin on the characters and story. HBO/MYSPACE is
having a contest to find the ultimate Entourage Fan
group, and we're out to win it.

Add us as friends: myspace.com/entourage_vendetta

New movie will be posted in less than 24 hours on the
VENDETTA ENTOURAGE Myspace page! That is the ONLY
place you'll be able to watch it! So add us as
friends and get ready!!

Okay, so to re-cap:

1. Lots of crazy press.
2. Doing crazy things.
3. All new movie is out, and it's crazy.

Yeah!!

I'm working on my first all original screenplay right now, and it's coming along beautifully. last week we did a little photo-shoot for the promo materials for the film. It was a very nice day in michigan... for once!
