Dobs is doing some stuff for other regional sound companies...one\'s with more money.

Dobs is a good sound guy.  He gets a good sound.  But he also gets very passive and has a tendency to "set it and forget it".  But whatever...he\'s been a net plus for the band.

don\'t worry....that won\'t get back to him.  

[Steffmo]

Not a problem....I tell him that regularly.

But he is good.....that\'s just what I think would make him great.

And I know some pretty great sound guys.

The main sound guy from The Space in Hamden, Chad, will be joining the band on the road as sound guy.  After the tout he will do some dates, as will Dobs.

As to dark dates, of course they are being looked at.   But on this tour everyone is trying to be a little more selective and some dates have been turned down because they would\'t earn enough to warrant the wear and tear on the band.  Some of the mid Cali markets are not places the band has a history....and as much as it might astonish you, not every booker we contact writes a check.  At any rate, some of those dates are already filled.

Thanks for the update.  I agree that it is better to rest than to play a guaranteed doozie,  but I think it is unlikely that will happen in Santa Barbara.  Anyway my plans are pretty much set: hiking in southern Arizona for a week, and then the LA and San Diego shows.  I\'ve got my plane ticket, and I\'ve contacted my crew in soCal so I will bring at least 3 or 4 people to both shows.  So who\'s in for LA/ SD?  Leith?  Al Z? Hopefully I\'ll see you guys there.

Yeah I am in for L.A. and S.D.

I will not be down in L.A. and S.D. this time.  I have been invited to a camping/rafting trip in the Sierra foothills the weekend before and will be in new Hampshire the weekend after the Breakfast tour.  Looks like only the tuesday in S.F. for me.

Hopefully we\'ll get to meet up again on the next Breakfast swing through CA.

I\'ll definitely be at LA and SD. Someone needs to record it. If Santa Barbara or some other place within a couple hours of LA is added I\'ll probably be there too.

Have fun on the road, Gabo!!!!  And good luck on "not getting kicked outta the van" during your travels...

achoo! hope your cat doesnt run away while ur gone........

LA/ SD will be awesome! Look at it this way: at least they will be rested when they roll in.  A couple weeks of touring to allow them to work out new jams + a couple days to relax should = a couple of sick shows.

It\'ll be cool to hang w/ you again for sure.

10/18/06 Sweetwater Saloon Mill Valley CA.

OK the Sweetwater is a tight place but I really do not see The Breakfast going over all that well there.
Sorry but maybe if they were playing acoustically I could see this.

I have been there a couple of times and it is cool they get to play a place w/ alot of history in the SF music scene but, it is a small Saloon w/ a VERY LAID BACK crowd.

Hopefully the $$ is worth the risk of a major Doozie.

Mill Valley is certainly a beautiful place - I spent like 7 days there (Marin Headlands and Point Reyes) when I went out west on the Spring tour.  I know Al Z is pumped for this, but I\'m still waiting for a SB gig.  But maybe if they are up in Marin County they should play the Mystic Theatre in Petaluma CA on Thursday.  I saw UM there once and it\'s a great venue.  There is also Smilely\'s in Bolinas CA., a hardcore oldschool hippie joint, that would be an otion on Thursday.
