This is beyond great.  I\'ve never been to a Freakout before b/c I always have to work.  This year, problem solved.  

Spacey-  I\'m onboard for promo as usual.  I\'m gonna talk to the club about promoting it above and beyond the normal demographic.

Post by: Spacey on August 10, 2006, 03:17:29 pm
well, there is going to be a lot of promotion happening for the next 2 months.

between a National Tour that need to have on average 100-150 in attendance each night.

and, the FFO which we need to have as many if not more than the 1000th show. So, we will have to get a little crew together and formulate a plan. Definitely put some pressure on Toads and let them know we mean business.

The more people, the more money for the bar.

not a snowballs chance in hell, even if so it would have been last year


Final Fantasy VIII sucked, at least I couldn\'t get into it

Final Fantasy VII One of the greatest games ever made, def the greatest RPG ever made (IMHO)  

Don\'t worry Wolfman, the Zelda series is right up there too ;) :link: (can\'t wait for the new one in Nov)

fwiw, the video game thing is being done/has been done by a bunch of bands at this point. hell, there\'s a little local philly band that did mega man, and the national symphony orchestra is doing PLAY! A Video Game Symphony "highlighting favorite music and scenes from Final Fantasy, Super Mario Brothers, Sonic the Hedgehog, HALO, World of WarCraft, Battlefield 1942, Silent Hill, The Legend of Zelda, and other cutting-edge video games. " so, maybe something a bit more original.

and secondly, damn it!!! its on a friday night!!! :( :( :(

Is this the FF thread or a video games thread? :P

I don\'t think there were themes before the FBCC year. If there were, I just happened to not notice.

Really glad to hear this isn\'t at the Webster. Looking forward to a more personal (and less empty-seeming) FF.

Oh yeah, and what DID happen to Leith? I didn\'t notice he was missing until reading this thread and seeing someone mention it! How long has he been gone?

so much for being an open minded fan. for someone who critised others for not opening up to different kinds of music, he totally shunned the band when Jordan made his decision to leave and the band didn\'t jump on the first yahoo who could play keys. He dissed the band before he listen the the Breakfast as a trio and when he did finally give them a listen, he gave them no benefit of the doubt that it was the 3rd or 5th show with the lineup, maybe we\'ll see him again, maybe we won\'t.

1st: what the fuck is that word???

2nd: it seems that way, he was a regualar visitor before Jordan left, voiced his issues about the band without Jordan, and we haven\'t seen him in a couple weeks atleast, which wouldn\'t be weird for some but is a little odd for the everydayer he was

yeah, that was kinda lame imo.  at least check them out LIVE before you rant that hard, wtf?!?!   hearing the Indy show recording won\'t do a whole lot for many folks...weird room, short show (dammit!!), still learning songs as they were out of the road and a new set-up.  but they hit some things and you could see the excitement...esp. after the blowout at 10K lakes!

the transition from Indy to Providence/Southbridge was 10-fold and I liked the Trio in Indy!! (just bummed that there was no crowd and we got shafted on that second set...grrrr.)  

The boys are pulling things together, and to discount that and not embrace the change is a choice, but a poor one.

i know a theme that it might be that would rock. :)

when do they usually annouce the theme?

Hey I am more than willing to give the guy the benefit of the doubt. I have been a member on the terrapin board for years I used to post a lot now I lurk for a lot of reasons. doesn\'t mean I dont care or follow whats going on there.

Everyone deals with change differently. Its only been a month since Beardslee.

The Theme: Three is the Magic Number

The Premise: the band plays their three sets...interspersed are covers of songs from famous trios (ie cream, jimi hendrix experience, nirvana, primus, zz top, green day, the police, ELP, rush, motorhead, maybe MMW or the new deal if you want to get nuts,  etc, etc, etc (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Power_trio))

For the Fans: group costumes; dress up as your favorite trio (charlie\'s angels for the ladies, three stooges for the guys...you get the idea)

what say you?

I\'ve heard the three or trio thing brought up many times as a theme for the Freakout.  I just dont\' know how much the band is gonna wanna push the trio thing.  I think they are happy with it, but in the never ending search for a new keyboard player, such a move may be a public announcement that they are forever happy as a three piece, and they are def still searching, no matter how good it sounds now.  It makes it too official.  It\'s one thing for us the fans to refer to them as "the trio" or "the breakfast trio" and what not (no matter how much Dave hates it ;) ), but when the band does it, it becoems a public statement



but then again I can tend to be a blabbering idiot, so you can ignore most things I say........ continue

some great songs to be played with that theme, and some creative costuming too!

Title: Fonghoulish VIII, Toad\'s Place, 10/27
Post by: Rujah on August 11, 2006, 09:54:16 am
ME- I see your point in having a trio theme as a public statement that they may be somewhat giving up on the whole searching for a new keyboardist but it still seems to me to be a good idea for a theme. I mean they have only been touring as a trio for a month or so now and I think it would be beneficial for them to do something like this to show those (Leith) who seem to have not taken the breakfast seriously  even before Jordan left the band.  It would definitely show the naysayers that The Breakfast are for a legitmate power trio whether they find a new keyboardist or not.  IMO it just seems that "3 is a Magic Number" theme is just the perfect theme for FF. I especially like the 3 sets idea as well.

i don\'t think so.. live in the now, man.. the fact is they ARE a 3-piece band right now, so why not roll with it? by next freakout, they could very well be a 4-piece again, so i think it\'d be a good thing for them to do for what they are right now.

but if they do this and don\'t play the theme to three\'s company, i\'m jumping ship.

They\'re going to embark on a national tour without the new album, then release it at home when tour concludes?  I thought it would work the other way.  Any chance the album will be on tour (even if a shipment can meet the caravan somewhere en route, once the cds are ready)?  Seems like a big missed opportunity if they don\'t bring Moxie Epoxie on the road.
Title: Fonghoulish VIII, Toad\'s Place, 10/27
Post by: Igziabeher on August 12, 2006, 04:04:00 pm
the way i see it, they have no control over when they get the album finalized, so if it is available, i\'m sure they\'d love to bring it w/ them, but if not, the show must go on.  all the more reason for them to come back.
Title: Fonghoulish VIII, Toad\'s Place, 10/27
Post by: Spacey on August 12, 2006, 04:07:02 pm
the way it sounds to me is that the album is nearly finished but I guess that doesn\'t mean the package and actual cd case and all that are finished, nor does it mean they have been ordered for mass release which can take some time. I don\'t know, either way, FFO can be official CD release party.

so come on out.

I kind of want to start making plans though...depending on where I fly in would determine who would pick me up. It\'s cheaper to fly to NYC rather than Providence or Boston but NYC is a bitch for traffic. If anything I\'ll just take a train from somewhere.

P.S. I\'m pulling for a Muppets theme. Gencs = Fozzie Bear

Waka Waka Waka.........

Kate....you say you are pulling for a Muppets theme, but I dont ever remember anyone even mentioning a Muppets theme.....I dont think the band would do it though, especially since there was a band at one of the past Freakouts that came fully dressed as the Muppets.....

You should be looking for flights into New Haven\'s T**** Airport (first and foremost) and then Hartford....

I want a Life Aquatic theme. The decorations would be awesome.

Though a crowd full of red caps might seem a bit.... contrived.

It\'s $100 cheaper to fly into Hartford than it is New Haven. It sucks that the Freakout is on a Friday, I have 3 classes and a lab. Oh well, we get one makeup lab per semester and my other profs should be cool about it if I tell them in advance. I don\'t know how I\'m going to afford the trip, but I made up my mind about this several months ago and I\'m not backing out now.

Should I fly home Saturday or will there be festivities all weekend I hope?

I still want a nintendo theme. adrian dressed up as mario, tim as luigi, ron as a koopa troopa, dobz as bowser, stephengencs as donkey kong, greg ellis as link, or princess peach. i guess both would work ;)

i think it would be a great theme and there would be a lot of cool fan costumes. the stage decorations would be awesome and there would be so much they could do with it.

That was one of the openers at FF5 (Lebowski).  I believe it was Stanley Maxwell, I could tell you for sure if you could tell me ALL of the opening bands (this was the Webster, so there were probably five or six).

I would, but round trip flights are much cheaper than buying 2 one-way flights. It would cost me twice as much, and I can definitely not afford that.

not always. go to cheaptickets.com and click on "Expand search options." you can buy round trip tickets with the option flying in and out of multiple cities. thats what i did the last time i flew and i did not pay a lot like i would for 2 separate one way tickets.

Off the top of my head... Rush, Primus, Cream, Jimi Hendrix Experience, The Police, Gov\'t Mule, ZZ Top (Cheap Sunglasses???), King Crimson (at least one incarnation), Band of Gypsys

Of course there are bands that are an instrumental trio (lead singer not included): Black Sabbath/Ozzy Osbourne, Pantera, Tool, The Doors, Van Halen, Alice In Chains, Red Hot Chili Peppers, Rage Against the Machine

As soon as I get my next paycheck in a couple weeks, I will be confirmed for the entire weekend also. Now if I can just talk someone into picking me up at the Hartford airport Friday afternoon and dropping me off at the Syracuse airport at noon on Sunday... :D

you might be in luck. The Spaceman has Friday\'s off from work. I am also renting a vehicle for the run, so I can probably drop you off at the Syracuse airport.

For those who know, the vehicle will be a Town and Country Touring edition. Only a spot or 2 left open.

The Midwest Ladies are coming to an East Coast show near you. I didn\'t even think about leaving Thursday night, and I *am* planning on skipping all of my Friday classes... :chin: Jenny, where are you flying into and about what time are you getting there?

If you decide to fly in on Friday, depending upon the time your flight comes in, I can probably pick you up at the airport on my way down. I\'m probably going to take Friday & Saturday off, so I could leave NH whenever, and I drive right through Hartford and by the airport exit (which has a GREAT DAYS INN!!! :rolleyes: ) on my way to New Haven. Can\'t help ya with Seracuse though- doubt I\'ll be going to that one.

Post by: kyndkate on August 30, 2006, 08:35:05 pm
If it\'s Friday, I\'d get into Hartford at 10:30 am. The only other flight comes in at like 5 or 6 pm, which is cutting it closer than I\'d like. However, I found a Thursday night flight into Hartford that gets there at 10:45ish. If someone\'s willing to pick me up Thursday night and drive like hell, I would love to catch half of a Black Thursday.

I think you will have to be in New Haven on a Wednesday night to have a Black Thursday though... but I could be wrong.

Just want to praise again the fact that this show is not at the webster.

Course my toads experiences have been not perfect in the past as well...but I much rather go to my home town venue, then truck up there for shitty sound ect...

My major gripe about toads would be the placement of the under 21 side is situated right in front of ronnies stacks.  Giving the listener i think a somewhat altered sound of TB.

The current incarnation of the Toad\'s fence is only about 4.5 feet high.  It is not in the way of anything anymore.

it still looks weird on video - theres a big empty space right in front of ron from the wide shot. I always though toads would so much better a club without the fence, but I guess you have to do something. :idunno:

Connecticut state law dictates the fence.  It is very explict on minium dimensions.  It also supposed to be permanent, which Toad\'s (ahem) complies with by having part of the fence up at all times.

Okay, the CT General Statutes takes 3 pages to explain this, and I\'m attempting to do so in a paragraph.
As far as state law is concerned, the Webster and Toad\'s, despite their obvious similarities are apples and oranges. The Webster is a theater in the same category as the Oakdale, and Toad\'s is bar (technically a "caberet") and the same category as, say Daniel Street or even Richters, so they have different rules and standards to adhere to regarding everything from taxation to fire code.  What falls where can be very subjective, and is a constant source of legal battles in the industry.
For the record Toad\'s management and employees hate that fucking fence without exception.  It\'s bad for bar business, bands and customers bitch about it endlessly, and it is a heavy, poorly constructed nuisance to put up and take down.  The almighty liquor commision mandates it, and it is so.

yeah but, the Webster has an area that you can not leave if you have a drink in your hand or can not enter if your not 21+ so really it is the same idea.  you can\'t get to the bar if your not 21+

Thanks a ton...what\'s awesome about you guys is that I *knew* I wouldn\'t have a problem getting someone to help me out. I am really looking forward to meeting each and every one of you. All I ever hear about from the gang when they\'re in the Midwest is how crazy, loving, and legit you are.

I think Spacey will pick me up in the hott Mom Van on Friday afternoon, but I\'m up for anything on the way to SERacuse/being dropped off at the Syracuse airport on Sunday. And Gencs texted me today about bringing my violin - I would love to do that, but I\'m not sure how the airlines are about that kind of stuff. There\'s NO WAY I would put it through baggage, but it\'s too long for a carry-on. Anyone have experience with this?

A violin?  I\'ve seen bands bring guitars and bass on the plane as carry-on luggage.  I think I violin might be ok.

Al, those are promo posters which they send out to the venues they are playing so they can get hung up in the club.  Someone will write the date and time info in that blank space so they dont have to print up a different poster for each show.......

The album art and theme for Moxie Epoxy is BY FAR the most professional and best art this band has known for an album.......That is called JOB WELL DONE!

I\'m glad some got the reference.

In a classic episode of Seinfeld Elaine has words with a woman at work (played by ***** Shannon) because she doesn\'t swing her arms when she walks and Elain thinks its weird. So ***** shannons character basically "stalks" Elaine after this. Everytime Elaine goes to men for help (ie. police officers or Mr. peterman) they are like "i\'m in the middle of a cat fight" and they make cat noises

And for everyone else,

Quote
Mumia Abu-Jamal (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mumia_Abu-Jamal) (born Wesley Cook April 24, 1954), a local journalist and political activist, was convicted of the murder of police officer Daniel Faulkner, which took place on December 9, 1981, and was sentenced to death. He has become a cause célèbre for many opponents of the death penalty as well as a focus of attention of many of the death penalty\'s supporters. Furthermore, many of his supporters claim that his arrest and conviction were politically motivated and that he qualifies as a political prisoner.

In December 2001, Abu-Jamal\'s death sentence (but not his conviction) was overturned by Federal District Court judge William Yohn. Both the prosecution and the defense have appealed Yohn\'s ruling.

Fate of Toad\'s remains unclear after LCC raid

 

The scramble for solutions continues for Toad\'s Place, a popular nightclub still dealing with the legal fallout of a Nov. 5 raid by Connecticut Liquor Control Commission agents, who found 87 underage patrons in possession of alcohol.

Late last month, the LCC rejected an initial compromise proposal, which was offered by the nightclub to cut down an otherwise lengthy judicial process that may result in harsh penalties. Under the proposal made by Toad\'s representative James Torello, the nightclub would voluntarily suspend its liquor license for 70 days starting May 21 of next year and pay a fine of $70,000, according to minutes released by the LCC after its meeting on Sept. 26. Liquor Control Agent Joseph Raia confirmed Monday night that a compromise was not reached between the LCC and the York Street nightclub during the meeting.

Though Raia could not comment on the specific details of the investigation into Toad\'s, he said it is common practice for the LCC and the violating party to engage in negotiations aimed at reaching an extra-judicial compromise.

"There\'s usually a negotiation process involved, where one side can offer a proposal and the other side can offer a counter-proposal, [but] the commission makes the final decision," he said.

Toad\'s Place owner Brian Phelps declined to comment, and LCC Director John Suchy was not available for comment on Monday night.

This is not the first time that the nightclub, a venue that hosts popular musical artists and holds dance parties several nights a week, has been raided following reports of underage drinking. In September 2001, Toad\'s suffered a similar inspection and the nightclub was cited for multiple instances of serving alcohol to minors. The club was fined $25,000 and was forced to shut down for one week after being cited by the commission for 12 specific violations of Connecticut liquor statutes.

While Phelps has remained silent about possible penalties, he told the News in the days following last fall\'s raid that he would avoid a complete closure of the club if possible.

Some students echoed Phelps\' sentiment and said the temporary loss of Toad\'s, which hosts weekly dance parties and pop artists, would negatively impact student life.

"[It\'s the] removal of one extra fun thing to do on Saturday night," John Beski \'07 said. "I think the student body would react adversely."

Jessica Bian \'08 said she thinks Toad\'s is central to the city\'s weekend entertainment scene, and many Yalies would find it hard to replace if the Commission forces it to close.

Since its opening over 30 years ago, Toad\'s has featured many popular artists, including the Rolling Stones.

"The attraction of Toad\'s for Yale students is that it is reliable and trustworthy," Bian said. "[But] people are going to go out no matter what, [and they] would disperse to more [local] bars."

Other New Haven establishments have also come under investigation for underage drinking in recent years. Naples Pizzeria, which was raided by the LCC in October 2001, had its liquor license revoked and paid $12,500 worth of fines to the Commission.

Why is the club at fault for serving those with fake IDs?  

Here\'s a solution: lower the drinking age (like that would ever happen in a state that doesn\'t trust adults with alcohol purchases after 8pm).

I think the RAVE act only has to do with drugs, if someone at your club OD\'s or is busted with somethign you are respossible.  But I could be wrong

Sure alcohol is fun, so can\'t people get a decent consumption before the show in one of the local places?  Yeah, I know not all can leave work early to get liquored up beforehand.

So does that mean as of right now Toad\'s continues to serve alcohol ? or are they not allowed to serve until a resolution is found ?

i\'m pretty sure they are still serving.... i mean this raid happened in Nov. 2005

Late last month, the LCC rejected an initial compromise proposal, which was offered by the nightclub to cut down an otherwise lengthy judicial process that may result in harsh penalties. Under the proposal made by Toad\'s representative James Torello, the nightclub would voluntarily suspend its liquor license for 70 days starting May 21 of next year and pay a fine of $70,000, according to minutes released by the LCC after its meeting on Sept. 26. Liquor Control Agent Joseph Raia confirmed Monday night that a compromise was not reached between the LCC and the York Street nightclub during the meeting.

Hi everyone, for those who don\'t know me I\'m Lisa Spears (Ron\'s wife).

Ron spoke to someone at Toad\'s Place and confirmed that there definitely will be alcohol served at the Freakout!!

As it says in the article, Toad\'s will be unable to serve alcohol for three months next year: May, June, and July.

Party on!!

I can\'t believe some of the ridiculous speculation that was stated as fact on this thread.  I have certainly been guilty of speculation in the past, but is usually a case of over positive wishful thinking.  
As someone who has taken time out of his own personal schedule to help promote this show, and improve Toad\'s Place\'s opinion of the Breakfast and it\'s fans I am incredibly dissappointed.  
This type of unfounded negative publicity for the show is what produces doozies folks.
It\'s been mentioned at length in other threads that it is important for the growth of the band to have a strong showing at local venues especially.  Good attendence @ tB 1,000 was what got them this gig. If FF VIII turns out poorly it could adversely effect future bookings, costing the band money and reputation.  Not to mention if god forbid venue owners catch wind that people are anti-promoting on a band fan site.  
Please be careful.

Sorry but perhaps Toad\'s needs to keep their house in better order. When local newspapers are talking about the place loosing their liquor license over serving underage kids it is easy that these speculations will happen. The article was printed TODAY.

Published: Tuesday, October 10, 2006

So it is easy to understand why people would think what was expressed in this thread. Especially considering the PROPOSAL states next year. The article says nothing about the potential ramifications of the proposal is not accepted.

If Toad\'s were my club I would be asking the yale news to print a correction or atleast a follow up stating that they still are serving booze and that life is normal at toad\'s until further notice.

I am glad that things got clarified. I honestly wasn\'t going to bother to book a hotel if they were not serving booze.

People...

Stop this silliness.  This whole issue is still being debated and appealed, and certainly there will be ample notice before anything like this happens.

I talk to these people three times a week.  Lawyers can waste more time than you would ever imagine.

In a word.....the show goes on.  Hopefully some great press for the show as well.  We really need a good turnout at this show and the money from CD sales will be largely put back into promotion....so lets do it up.

Dude, are you ser? I understand the traveling long distance and wanting to drink and all, but this is the motherf\'n FREAKOUT!

If you want to get liquored up that badly, you\'ll find a way. The Freakout is a big deal every year and I don\'t think this year is any different.

Wow...
how many shows have I had to sneek in (or not) and EXPECT not to drink...ya maybe i can\'t drink for obvious reasons, but guess what, I still was there knowing that I was 18 years old and wasn\'t going to be legal for another 3 years...

and lets not be delusional here, this shit is all over the news.  It\'s not bad PR it\'s a real issue, you can\'t just expect to keep something like this on the DL just for attendence purposes...

BTW toads is the only place I\'ve seen good size crowds at, for some reason i don\'t think their home town venue reputation is going anywhere...

Title: on the First Amendment...
Post by: FrankZappa on October 11, 2006, 06:26:02 am
wow. um, where to begin...
First, maybe I\'m crazy. I never went to a show to get drunk or stoned. I always went and still go for the music front and foremost. I like that I am able to remember every concert I\'ve ever gone to. To each his own.

That being said,
Could people complaining that they will not go to a show on a fan-run message board hurt relations between the band and venue? Sure. Could silencing peoples voices and keeping this under the radar maybe get a few more people to the show that might not go if there were going to be no beer sales? Sure. Is it the fault of the person who posted it? no. Is it the fault of the band. no. It is not a site run by the band. It is run by an individual who makes up and enforces his own moderation rules. If a huge thread pops up as a result and a bunch of people say they are not going to go to show #x, but will go to show #y instead will it piss off some people? sure, but it doesn\'t mean they don\'t like the band anymore.

However, it is not the fault of a fan to say they will not go to a show because of any reason. If you don\'t like it, try and persuade them, but if you censor them you will only alienate your fan base. I didn\'t go to new years last year. Not because I don\'t like the band, but I don\'t like the Webster and didn\'t want to go there. Does that mean I\'m never going to another show? Of course not. I just chose not to go to that one. If toads place is pissed off because people on a fan run message board are saying "hey, I\'m not going to go to that show because of reason x", then let them be pissed. It was not the band making an official statement to boycott the show, it was a few fans saying that based on a rumor they would not go. If you have proof to sway them, then post it and sway them to go!

So who\'s to blame? In my opinion, no one here. You could blame toads for not enforcing their security good enough, you could even blame the police for doing a routine age check at the venue, but ultimately the people who everyone should be mad at is the under aged kids who sneak into shows every day and brake the law. They got caught, but because of the law, the venue gets fined, and it will affect some shows in the future. Potentially this breakfast show would be one of them, but based on info from several reliable sources, it sounds like the beer sale ban will not go into effect until next year.

Sure someone making a post like that does not help the bands relationship with the particular venue, but there is nothing wrong with someone voicing their opinion.


ok, rip me apart now, but even if you completely disagree with what I say, understand that I have the right to say what I think as much as you have the right to disagree.

Well, I feel this largely directed at me, so here are my thoughts.  
Yes, people have the right to say what ever they want. Just b/c you have the right to do something doesn\'t necessarily make it a good idea.
I am not trying to censor this board, nor am I suggesting anyone else do it.  What I am doing is urging people to be careful when an untrue rumor could hurt the band. They don\'t have to, but it would be nice.
Posing the question of the status of the show is fine and good, but when people who don\'t know the answer provide a false one it is irresponsible.  When a question is posed, give a few hours and someone who knows the facts will likely provide them.

With that said I heard from a reliable source that Page McConnel will be sitting in on keys for FFVIII. ;)

Yeah, i dont think i\'ll be dressed in the "three" theme, if thats the theme, either.  I am going with two friends, tho, equalling 3.  My two best friends are minus their boyfriends so they are wearing one half of their "couple" costume...We have a party on Saturday so we didnt see the need to buy two costumes. So basically, you are going to have a sexy ref without her player,  and so on.    

Look for me, I\'ll be the sexy nurse.  Yes, and I will take temps and blood pressures.

With the passes we just got it will be $12 at the door. Look for people handing them out before the show. I will also be putting some in the usual spot...between the two doors to the pizza restaurant next door.

Title: Halloween Costumes for Every Sign
Post by: FreeSpirit on October 24, 2006, 06:27:41 pm
Here\'s some help if anyone\'s still stuck for a costume....

Quote from: myspace.com
Perfect outfits for any monster bash!
Stuck for costume ideas? This list will help express your inner demons!

Aries (March 21 - April 19): The superheroes of the zodiac -- dress as Superman, Wonder Woman or a real-life hero like a firefighter.

Taurus (April 20 - May 20): A costume like Miss America or Mr. Universe may appeal to their inner beauty contestant.

Gemini (May 21 - June 20): The sign of the Twins -- try going with a pal as Bert and Ernie or Bonnie and Clyde.

Cancer (June 21 - July 22): It is the sign of patriotism, why not try a Statue of Liberty or Uncle Sam costume?

Leo (July 23 - August 22): Flashy Leos love the spotlight, so a rock star costume would rock.

Virgo (August 23 - September 22): These closet sensualists might enjoy emulating their favorite sex symbol.

Libra (September 23 - October 22): Libra embodies the marriage principle, so go with a friend as an (in)famous couple.

Scorpio (October 23 - November 21): The detectives of the zodiac, Scorpions might dress as Sherlock Holmes or Watson.

Sagittarius (November 22 - December 21): These adventurers might enjoy being Indiana Jones or Lara Croft.

Capricorn (December 22 - January 19): They love the royal treatment -- just like Marie Antoinette or King Henry VIII.

Aquarius (January 20 - February 18): These visionaries love to explore, so try an astronaut or alien costume.

Pisces (February 19 - March 20): Express an affinity for sea creatures with a mermaid or King Neptune outfit.

i am slightly annoyed at my two best friends.  they totally bailed on me for friday!  we were all going together (a girls night out, too) and now im getting "oh, my boyfriend actually has that night off, and i want to spend it with him" and the other one is like "you know i dont like that type of music, plus my boyfriend has the night off and wants to spend time with me".

its so unfair.  (yes,i know, i am going to sound whiny)  nobody ever wants to do what i want to do.  I always do what they want.  and im the one that just broke up with my fiance.  aren\'t they suppossed to be cheering me up and taking me out and to places i like???  grrrr. sorry needed to rant.  Everyone else i know is working right now and by the time they call me back the rant will be over.

in any case, im still going friday.

No Freakout for me.  :(  First one I\'ve mised since FF1 in \'99, which took place 2 weeks before my first show.  Been to 2,3,4,5,6, and 7.  Have to work until 11 on Friday night, not to mention at 10AM Saturday morning.  I\'ve done the show-up-to-work-on-no-sleep-the-morning-after-Breakfast a million times, the problem is that I couldn\'t possibly be in New Haven until 1:30AM having already missed the show.  I would even come down just for late-night but I would have to leave by 8:30AM just to make it back to work in Boston on no sleep.  No hope getting out of work, this is my second week at my new job in the brewery.  I asked like crazy but no dice.  Oh well, a sacrifice here and there becomes necessary when you get your dream job I guess.  Too bad cuz I have my best costume in years too...I went to a Halloween party last week and my Flava Flav getup went over huge!  (Especially with the ladies.)  Well, have fun, see you next week in new Hampshire and Noho.

-While you\'re wolfing down piles of tooth-rotting candy corn and Milk Duds, it\'s easy to forget about the most important meal of the day - unless, of course, you\'re a fan of The Breakfast, who host their Fonghoulish Freakout costume party show at Toad\'s Place, 300 York St., New Haven; 203-624-TOAD, every year. This year\'s show, happening Friday night, is a particularly special one - the East Haven-based, nationally recognized jam/rock band is celebrating the release of their fifth cd, Moxie Epoxy and they\'ll surely be busting out some insane grooves for the occasion.

That would be "toad\'s place north", but the locals call it "webster" because of the street it\'s on. Toads tried to pick up on the success of fillmore when they opened "fillmore east" years ago but it never caught on.
