did dpeck do the sushi challenge?

You beat me to it.  



I\'m not surprised that the Lion\'s Den wasn\'t well attended.  I had a feeling that there wasn\'t as much anticipation about this show as there normally is.

[Igziabeher]

how was the turnout compared to past Lion\'s Den shows?  I know of at least a half a dozen or so moe.rons that went, but a show this soon after the .down would not be a good way to estimate the # of heads turned on from that show as opposed to a couple weeks from now.  I\'m thinking the Troy show should be a much better turnout, plus a lot of heads that got turned onto the Breakfast at moe.down are from far off lands, so it may help out their next major tour moreso than a show right after.

did dpeck do the sushi challenge?

pussied out.

we ate there, and i was thinking about it, but i wasn\'t feeling it.. the challenge had been completed successfully twice since we were last there, so it was now 50 pieces of sushi in 20 minutes.. i asked how much it would cost if i didn\'t finish, and the answer was around $100.. that\'s a lot of money to pay to fail at something AND feel like shit the rest of the night!

the more i thought about it, the less logical it got.. i\'d feel like shit either way, and if i got sick on it, i might never want to eat sushi again, and i certainly don\'t want that...

soooo.. all my talk was for nothing, and i am now open to any ball-busting that comes of it. thank you.

how was the turnout compared to past Lion\'s Den shows?  

there were no more than 70 people there.

[Igziabeher]

I just talked to my friend Erold.  You guys must have seen him, tall as hell skinny guy dark skinned w/ long curly hair.  Anyways, he\'s from Cali and hasn\'t left to go back since moe.down, but didn\'t get a chance to see their moe.down set and he had only great things to say about what he saw last night.  He was amazed by the interplay between Tim and Ron and is looking forward to when they come out to Cali.  Hopefully they make it to the LA area before Thanksgiving weekend, cuz he\'ll be back out this way for the moe. Roseland run.

[Jim Cobb]

Coming off a very satisfying performance of my own, i was excited for this show, especially because i had four newbs with me.  seeing this guy "sam the rhyming comedian" out on the street totally ruining my game with these chicks i was hitting on, i had to run inside and find wolfy, and he certainly rose to the challenge.  wolfy won that battle, but was gracious enough to let sam keep the money involved.  when the girls left 5 minutes into the breakfasts set, i figured they must not be my type anyways.  here is my recap of the performance:

I: Doughboy, jam > Attraction To Shade Ditty, Great Big Fiery Ball In The Sky > Sleeping Beauty

at this point, i was starting to think to myself "my god, is this going to be my first disapointment at a breakfast show?"  just wasnt into it.  didn\'t feel like they were all that into it either.

Ship Of Fools > See The Light

I\'m gonna have to agree with dave and say that if that see the light was uninverted, it would have been the best ever.  it was certainly the best I\'VE ever seen in person.  it also totally turned my negative outlook on the evening around.  STL got my feet moving, and i feel like thats the point at which the band started to click for the evening, and this was just the beginning.

Question Mark And The Mind > Hard Luck Harry > LDZ > Echidna\'s Arf (Of You) > jam > No Regret

My god...  HLH was huge.  just fucking huge.  the bass player in my band, evan just kept looking at me saying, "WHAT??!!?  WHAT??!!?? DUDE!!  WHAT THE FUCK IS HAPPENING!?!??"  and then a FLAWLESS echidna\'s arf, at which point all excitement about my performance earlier in the evening turned into strong feelings that i should quit music. (instead i\'m having a lesson today haha).  solid no regret, really raged with the momentum from the tunes before it.

E: Organ Solo > The Chase, Man In Me

Jordan commanded this encore.  nuff said.

yeah the lions den sucks, this show has gotta get back into the knit SOON.  tim was talking about wanting to get back in there, so we\'ll see, maybe another turkey tour appearance at the knit, which would be a nice way to celebrate my one year anniversary of finding my second fam.

over and out.

[Rujah]

70 ppl thats not too bad. how was it compared to the show in june? im sure troy probably see more ppl, im trying to get some of my buddies whove never seen the brealfast to gol, but who knows.  im looking forward to hearing this show, just streamed moe.down sound they like they were on fire

[Me!]

No sleeping only drinking!!!!

[Rujah]

[plainandsimple]

My highlights.

Doughboy, jam
Sleepingbeauty
ship of fools> see the light


Nohighlight, $5 beers+ tip=$6      not cool

- not dying the 49.5 times we almost died on the way to and from the show (12 going down 37.5 coming home
- WARPITZ
- Latenight at Hotel TKA (still going mind you)

Yes, cheating death and disaster many times.

2 things that dont belong in the middle of the highway
(1) parked tanker truck
(2) parked minivan

do you see the problems we had

Was memorable, thanks to all that attended(gencs) (spaceman) the warpitz ride

[freddiewaht]

ship of fools did nothing for me.
crowd=somewhat lame.
who is timmy palmieri??
happy belated birthday to laura "dirty"mendez

[Mark]

I think the reason for the poor turnout is a lot of people just don\'t care for the Lion\'s Den, me included.  An advertised midnight start time doesn\'t help either. I doubt I will ever go back there.

[SlimPickens]

yeah the midnight start made the drive home brutal... or was that the beer and the person, who will remain nameless, sitting in my back seat and farting all the way home.

[Spacey]

After no sleep for 24 hours, helping a friend paint the next day, I have come back to reality and made my way home here.

I have decided that Doughboy is a double edge sword. It is a great closer and it is a terrific opener. The jam after Doughboy sounded like the jam that always happens before Sleeping Beauty. Someone asked me what they were going in, I said Sleeping Beauty, but I was wrong, short ATSD before going in GBFBITS. It was fun and a before I knew it they went into what took 2 songs to come around, Sleeping Beauty, good version. Ship of fools was alright, but the See The Light was excellent. One of the better that I have seen. I can do without Question Mark and The Mind outside of the acoustic setting. People sort of were lost when the band went into it. IMO, the energy dropped here, letting people go for a smoke, get a beer, talk or walk around. Don\'t walk to far because good ol\' HLH was great. At one point I turned to Slimpickens and said that this might even be better then the Family Jam version, at that point DavePeck turned around and said, "What did you just say?". I think what made HLH great was the outro of the song which made it completely different then anything I have seen them do with it. The rest of the show was solid. Not much that I can say that would higlight the evening.

Good times, good peoples, Lions Den sucks. Better venue next time, less openers.

Thanks to all that have survived the spaceghost ride home. Warpitz on the ride down, taking the ride up to good ol Yardsley/Shady Acres before turning around. 278 NOT 287. No, Oil tanker should be in the middle of the highway. Close Explosion. No minivan should be broken down on the road. Do Not park in front of the driveway. We did. Doing warpitz, drinking beers across the street of the lions den in the illegally parked car. I can only say, Only In New York.

[davepeck]

At one point I turned to Slimpickens and said that this might even be better then the Family Jam version, at that point DavePeck turned around and said, "What did you just say?".

just to clarify, the reason i said that was because no more than 30 seconds earlier, i had said the exact same thing to freddie.. kooky!
