Seriously, and how about the end of the Christmas 05 run, too?  The shows here have been OFF THE CHAIN.  Thank god they\'re not playing Bill\'s Bar.  Now you all can come to Boston and be able to count on a huge show.  :banana:

You might want to call someone before heading down for second set. They have definitely sold out the Middle East before. BUT I have definitely snuck a lot of people in to that place via the back door. It\'s pretty easy to do.

don\'t even think about it. they won\'t go on till 10:30 and what are the chances of you needing that whole block of time to take a test........ and selling out a show........

According to jambase.com they\'re doing another radio show on PachyJams: WMFO 91.5FM in Medford, MA before show at the Middle East. The Breakfast appear in their list of featured jambands on the main page too.

Here is a link to their website: http://web.mac.com/pachyjams/iWeb/PachyJams/Welcome.html

If it hasn\'t already been done, someone needs to send them some promo material to play over the next couple weeks. I don\'t want to step on anyone\'s toes but I can take care of this if it hasn\'t been done yet.

FYI: The middle-east is a pre-game spot.


I know. But not a good one. This isn\'t my first rodeo.  

Why rage where we have to be all night?

Why not get out of the Middle East and try something more appealing, like that party I hear people are having beforehand?

plus, I hate being at the venue earlier than when the Breakfast walk on. It is just me and my way but I know some feel the same.

No, I agree. I deleted my first post....

More generally, I have heard rumors, but never found, any hookah bars in bean town? Are there any that are resonbly priced?

Definition of reasonably priced:
Based of the assumption that beer is reasonable priced a beer at a bar costs about 3x induvidual price.
By that definition, a reasonable cost for a hookah would be $4 a bowl. That is, of course, not possible outside of the middle east - best hookah bars in the world, fyi - so $10-15 is considered reasonable.

This is based off the formula for hard alcohol, not beer. Where a shot of grey goose in your house probably costs you $1 but $10 is bearable at a bar.

I like this idea of finding the "hidden" hookah bars.

Totally down.

I have several things to say.

1. I wish I\'d been keeping up in here, cause I just read like 5 pages of notes on this show.
2. I live in Waltham.  I noticed some people saying that they have this friend or another who lives in Waltham.  Well, :wave: me too!
3. As I reside in a particularly small dwelling, I\'m grateful for Estah (Esthah?  Esthahhhhh?) and Buquebus\'s volunteering for a pre-game situation.  I will text one of you for directions.
4. I have not heard of hookah bars in Boston or the surrounding neighborhoods.  If anyone DOES know of one, please give a shout out cause boy, could I go for a cold peach hookah, among other things.
5. I want to give a heads up on cheapo cheap parking, for those that will be driving.  A block from the bar is the Green St garage, and it\'s about $3 to park or something awesome like that, as long as you\'re out by like 6am.  I\'m sure you can googlemap it, or you can PM me for directions too.  
6. I take dance classes (practically next door to the Middle East) on Weds and Thurs, so I\'ll post some flyers up.  Better late than never, right?

Thank you. :)

I am all about a lot scene like those at Porter\'s in 2005.

I\'ll take a lot over a pregame anyday.

FYI:

3pm this Friday tune into 91.5 FM WMFO in Medford for a special acoustic performance by The Breakfast on the PachyJams show hosted by DJ Drew. You can also listen via internet at PachyJams (http://web.mac.com/pachyjams).

gabe and i\'s humble abode is open for pre-gaming actions.  don\'t know about food at our place though...so that is your responsibility.  there are a lot of great restaurants in allston/cambridge (central square).  in response to hookah bars- i know theres one is allston (close to our house) but they don\'t serve booze there.

same here. unfortunately i am not familiar with this said lot. does anyone know if it\'s a guarded lot or metered or whatever and if it might be cool if we brought in some coolers and partied a bit? personally, i\'d be happier than a pig in shit to get nice and sloppy on the cheap before heading into the show.

This show is going to be off the hook. I made myself a little more secure and got my tickets already, everytime i go in that place it seems smaller. Pregaming is a definite for this show. I hope they will cut me some slack. I asked nicely a long time ago. I can get the van hazy on friday if that would help. Either way its going to be a great night on mass ave. Assuming the weather cooperates i wouldnt doubt a sell out.

  <<<< shut out with like 6 heads, thanks to captain wah we got in... def. better safe than sorry
 lol @ tickler\'s last comment..


same here for that show. it took me 20 minutes to park and when we finally got to the venue they lady said they were sold out and wouldn\'t let us in. I even offered her 50 bucks for herself on top of the ticket price but she wouldnt budge. She shoulda took it because we snuck in anyway.

But yea if your not gonna be ther before 9:30 or 10 I would strongly recomend hanving someone get you a ticket or calling the venue and getting one reserved at will call.

5. I want to give a heads up on cheapo cheap parking, for those that will be driving.  A block from the bar is the Green St garage, and it\'s about $3 to park or something awesome like that, as long as you\'re out by like 6am.  I\'m sure you can googlemap it, or you can PM me for directions too.
