Let me tell you this, Lou is top notch. 3 years ago I was in a very tough spot and Lou helped me get out of it.

And he's been an INCREDIBLE client. Lou, my pride won't let me tell the stories of how much you've helped me over the years. But you and I both know them, and I thank you. Immensely.

i think lou is sexy

from how everyone talks about the guy it sounds like he is the million dollar man, literally. Sounds like they also dont mess around at work and get the job done right. I liked the personal touch with the picking, if i was customer i would be very pleased to hear that.

All the best to you Lou.

Looking forward to getting together for dinner soon... hopefully after Thanksgiving... I'll buzz ya next week.

9. What cities have you lived in? Why?

This is kinda interesting. I was born in Michigan and when I was 6 years old and my brother was 4 we burnt down our house playing with caps. I mean toasted it to the ground completely. We then moved to Houston, Texas as it was a booming economy down there in the early 80's due to the oil market. So I lived there until I was 16 and we moved back to Michigan. I lived here for a while then I moved to Indianapolis for about 6 months to start a head shop( bongs, pipes, other tobacco accessories, lol). Well I had a partner in that and I didnt like the way things were going so I moved back to Michigan in 1996 and wasnt really sure what I was going to do. So I went back to work for my dad and then my brother bought a computer from a customer there and the rest is history. I will of course explain this in more detail once we get to some questions about the business getting started, etc...


Lou

thank you very much! All the best to you! And its not just me. I have a partner who I will introduce in a bit and we have a great crew in Charles and Dave. Our girls Saritta and Brittni are so great to us as well. They do lots of things to help with the tours being updated and content getting processed and ready for us.

Lou

you to brother! I will see you soon.

Lou

Thanks Donny. You are a very honest person and I trust you alot. You shoot great content for KarupsHA.com as well :thumbsup Send me some more model submissions please.

Lou

Same to you Marc. Please do call and we will get together for sure. Actually please send me your ICQ when you get a chance so I make sure we get together.

Lou

Not addicted to strip clubs? I've met you once and it just so happens that it was at a strip club. Coincidence? I think not! :1orglaugh

10. What kind of edcuation do you have? As a kid Why did you scream "Fuck You" at your teacher and clear her desk?


I have a high school diploma. I tried college, but was just never into it. I love knowledge. I am always asking questions and will research things endlessly. I never get enough info. I know the smallest facts and details about lots of things. I just love to know as much as possible about anything I can. I wish I had more discipline to have gotten a degree as I think its a very powerful tool to have and the knowlegde you gain is priceless. As for me scremning at a teacher is part of the reason I dont have a degree. When I was in school I hated it. I thought it was a waste of my time and I was going to make it huge without school. Typical dumbass kid who thought he knew it all. Well I guess I did...Just Joking. So I used to battle with my teachers alot and one day I walk in my classroom with some MickeyD's because I am starving and the teacher says I cannot eat in the classroom and basically gets in my face about it. I told her to FUCK OFF and cleared her desk and grabbed my food and left the classroom. Dumb thing to do, but I was a young punk at the time. Now I am an seasoned punk. LOL.

11. Discuss your anger management problem.

FUCK YOU I dont have an anger management problem. :1orglaugh :1orglaugh
Nah I have a temper and I sometimes tend to react before thinking and that sometimes gets me into trouble. I am also very stubborn so that does not help.

Louis

Lou

Lou

while your at it, remove privatechannels too, vs dropped all their feeds.

Tony,
bro you have no idea how much I love and respect you. If it weren't for Tony Morgan, most of you would still never have met me or even seen me and the rest of our crew. Its my friendship with Tony that has brought me to the shows and allowed me to meet great people in this industry who I now consider my very good friends such as lots of you who are reading this now. Thanks for everything you do man and if you ever need anything bro, just ask. Hopefully things will work out for the ATL boys and we will see you up here for the SuperBowl.

Lou

I'm enjoying this one, great interview.

Sorry I just got back online after the Thanksgiving polane ride from hell....

Good stuff Lou! Great choice Sleazy! Great reading so far.

I am very proud to know and to be friends with Lou. Trus class act, an inovative thinker and one of the people that should be heard and beleived when he says anything. In short, this guy knows more about content, customer service and maintaining aloyal customer base than ANYONE I know of in this industry. I have so much respect for this guy I can't even tell you.

12. Ever been an acomplice to a stalking incident in Mexico?

Yes I have. Cancun show this year we are all at this club called The City. 50 Cent is there for a concert and we are in a huge group of people. This is of course made available by Tony Morgan, Chris Mallick, and Ron Cadwell. So we are chilling in the vip area and there is this hot girl and everyone and I mean everyone is all over her. Well Roger V. don't say shit to her. About 40 minutes later I see Roger talking to her and BAM we are all leaving the club and Roger and her take off from the group of people. This is actually called the NINJA. Where he gets out of there with her before someone else fucks it up for him. :1orglaugh. So I am thinking its all good they are just gonna hook up and thats that. Well not exactly. The next day Roger is freaking out and saying to me DUDE that girl is from Tampa. I am from Tampa so what the fuck are the odds of me running into a hot ass girl like that from Tampa. And I am like man whatever forget about it. Well he didnt want to forget about it and there I am walking down a Mexcio road with Roger to this girls hotel. We dont know shit about her. He knows hers name and thats it. So we get to the hotel and the hotel front desk aint having it. We cant even be on the property without a room and a wrist band. So Roger is not gonna give up and says can I get a pool pass. They say sure 75 bucks each and Roger buys us both bands. Then Roger sees her and I am like oh fuck bro we are so stalking this girl. I just got this feeling like last night was last night and we are in Cancun man so basically beat it. So we are akwardly just sitting at the pool with her friend and herself and Roger is running mad game. I am laughing and watching the PIMP hand being layed down. Next thing you know he is in the ppol with her and hugging on her, etc... and they hung out for the rest of the show. They get home and continued the relationship and are now still together and very happy. So he stalked his current girlfriend. Bottom line to this story is don't give up if its something you really want. Roger and Amanda: love you guys and its awesome to see you guys still together. Side note...Amanda is the coolest girl I have ever met. She is a guy, but in a hot female body. She understands Roger will be Roger and that any other girl he wants to stare at and flirt with dont mean shit to Roger and that he loves her, but likes to have his fun. Trust me she is perfect for Roger! :thumbsup

13. I heard you love to eat Sushi and Seafood aka "robsta craws" why do you love it so much?

truth is I hate all seafood. I never liked any seafood so this is just like a little inside joke with Roger, Amada and her girlfriend Katie. They all love Sushi, but we never eat it when I am with them, becuause I cant eat that stuff. As for the Wrobsta Craws, thats just my joke with the girls. They like my accent when I pronounce it that way with this deep accent.

14. How do you stay up till 6am every weekened? Medical help?

Not actually 6am, but I have always been a very late person. I wake up at about 10-11am every morning and go to bed about 3-4am everyday for the last 15 years of my life maybe. As for medical help, none whatsoever. I don't drugs at all and I will explain this more in depth in future questions.

Louis

Respect

You custom shooting jobs were my life blood for alot of years!

thanks for leting a dirty young man become a dirty old man

Do you remember the Heaven and Hell parties in Prague?

15. Discuss your thoughts on drugs and booze and partying in this industry and how it effects you and the people in it.

My thoughts are simple. I want people to do what they want to do. If I choose not to do some business or hang out with someone it most likely will not be because of how hard or little they party. I am a party guy. I like the clubs, the girls, drinks, etc... But I just choose not to get high. And again this will be touched upon more in the addictive personality question coming up a bit later. But mainly if someone is fucking up or not doing what they are supposed to be doing when it comes to a business relationship or a friendship, then I will step in and try to resolve things. If things are too out of hand, then I will simply step back and not associate myself with that particular situation or person and most definitely not be caught in the crosshairs. And of course, if I can help the person I will. So if you wish to party and use drugs, then I do not judge you, all I hope is that it is truly recreational use and you have a control on it and it does not affect you in any major way.

The Girl in Question :winkwink:
