What is up w/ the release of dates??

[skalnbyc]

I figure the east coast mentality is such that it is the only way to get through.

And what is the west coast mentality, believing that Quizno\'s and Subway make good subs?  

My suggestion to Leith is that he find a nice local band and show us all how brilliant his skills are by blowing them up into a national band in six months.

That would be an interesting case study.

You have the approximate time frame of the tour.  The specific dates will be announced shortly, when they are contracted.

I try to post enough information here to help you with your planning.  But there are certain rules that are meant not to be broken, like posting before confirmation or contacts.

As usual in this business, there are any number of issues that effect these things that you all know nothing about, or should know nothing about.  Band internal business is not your business, as much as certain frustrated wanna be managers think it is.

 First off thanx for the info you do give. It helps to a certain extent for personal plans but I am thinking more of the folk that have no clue or care about .info and it\'s wealth of Breakfast data.
Band internal matters is a subject for FAN discussion. Sorry but that\'s how it is. FANS speculate and discuss all subjects concerning their favorite band. Some more than others.
Now how ridiculous is that suggestion? If there were a local band as talented as The Breakfast and could elicit the feelings this band does out of me, I would indeed have them playing all over the freakin\' place @ whatever costs I could legally endure. I guess it will only happen if a certain band relocates.

I\'m all for fan discussion.  I in fact enjoy your passion for the band.

I do not enjoy your abusive side however, and your continuing insinuation that The Breakfast are not a priority.  It certainly is to me...I have a lot of time, money and talent tied up in it.  But that doesn\'t mean that I\'m going to do something stupid like release dates that don\'t have signed agreements for dates that are 2500 miles from the bands home base.

Cancellations or non existant gigs on the road KILL bands because they are out in the middle of nowhere with limited funds.  A couple of nights in hotels out of pocket can absolutely ruin a tour.  

We need for this to be a solid moneymaking tour for the band.  And they need to see that they can tour west and not come back in debt...which has happened every other time.

Thats all I have to say.

I know they are a priority to you but it does not seem to be one for Crescendo.
Would you rather I email them my discontent? I found that idea to be a bit much. This is a fansite and venting here is a better idea and does much less harm to the band.
I hope they can make $$ this time around maybe I will then be able to get some fall Bfast too.

It is true that we hit some kind of speed bump in December.  But they hired some new people, at least one of which is quite dedicated to booking the Breakfast.  Of course you don\'t see that because you only see the confirmed dates.

You can email them if you think that alienating people that are working hard to make your favorite band bigger than ever is a great idea.  If your boss spoke to you the way you speak of people here you would probably haul him up on harassment charges...and you speaking to them in your inimitable tone will do nothing accept get the band dropped by another agent, thank you.

Your only problem is that you misjudge the difficulty of this kind of endeavor.

I am capable of rational thought.

[oldnewbie]

i\'m just curious how someone can spell inimitable and use it in a sentence but repeatedly gets except wrong

One of the reasons I stick around new england...

All I know is that if they come out West or anywhere near me in March, I\'m NOT missing it this time (even though right now I have 2 jobs, school, and music gigs every Tuesday, Friday, Saturday). Having them come would motivate me to get some things done early, or just not even care about my agenda.

Especially after that Madison show you missed last November

[Steffmo]

Watch over the next few days.....dates are clearing in bunches and as soon as the web sites are updated they will be available to you.

This promises to be the best Breakfast tour ever, and much touring is being set up for the balance of the year.  We\'d have liked this to be a little longer than 3 week tour, but some had committments here that limited it to that.  But there will be several other tours immediately following to cover area not connected on this three week run.

That is very encouraging news. Thanks for the update.

Biggest fan on west coast makes ass out of himself for the 1,379th time...Band manager publicly tools on biggest fan on west coast for the 10th time.  :mickey:
