The 8th Annual Fonghoulish Freakout / Doors 8pm / More TBA
i hope i get a NJ show before this show comes around. tired of traveling alone to shows 2+ hours all the time.
all we need now is a theme.......
and secondly, damn it!!! its on a friday night!!! :( :( :(
Seriously?
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.
when do they usually annouce the theme?
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)
I just feel like that would be them saying "we are a trio, now and forever"

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.

I haven\'t had internet for like 2 weeks and nobody called me so I just saw this...looks like I need to save some cash for a plane ticket :D
So who wants to pick me up at the airport? :lol:
Quote from: kyndkateSo who wants to pick me up at the airport? :lol:
I\'m sure you won\'t have any problems when it comes to it
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
I want a Life Aquatic theme. The decorations would be awesome.
Though a crowd full of red caps might seem a bit.... contrived.
Damn...there goes my savings account :)
If I can get back to Hartford before like 3 pm on Sunday, I may be able to pull the whole thing off.
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.....
greg ellis as link, or princess peach. i guess both would work ;)

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.
oh yeah, and the show is also at TOAD\'S place.

:that: Fly out of SERacuse on Sunday
Quote from: Todd:that: Fly out of SERacuse on SundayI 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.
^^ spoiler!!!! :sigh: (thanx :) )
$280? That sounds pretty damn good.
Todd and Robyn.....I gotta know.....so are you guys like in different rooms on different computers? or do you have 2 computers in the computer room now....which i guess would make it "the computers room"........now back to your regularly scheduled thread......
From what I understand, it is looking like the FFVIII theme is gonna be the "Tribute To The Trio" or something along the "tre-theme"....I am sure the official announcement is coming soon.....

they have 2 laptops, which they set up back to back, and sit across from each other while posting on .info \'battleship\' style. todd posts, robyn posts, todd posts, robyn posts. in the end, the person who posted the most words wins. usually todd just forgets about the whole game and ends up just posting \'yeah that\'s\' all night. robyn then informs todd that she\'s won again, to which todd\'s reaction is obviously:

I am just hoping for a sick fucking Breakfast show with a few of theme-centric FRESHIE covers.........

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

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.
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:
Sure you have to do something... but they COULD just do what every other venue I have ever been to does...

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.

They just bend over the pages
Toads been getting some bad rap from the local media around here regarding their underage serving...wonder if this will screw things up for the show?
are there any cheap hotels within walking distance of toad\'s?
They are in negotiations for how long the suspension will be. Toad\'s is asking for 70 days, but the State Liq Commission wants it to be more...if this thing gets resolved in the next week or so...NO BOOZE FOR THE FREAKOUT!!!
Published: Tuesday, October 10, 2006
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).
The RAVE Act of 2002
(S.2633)
Reducing Americans\' Vulnerability to Ecstasy Act
this is terrible news, because I guarentee it will drive people away from the show if they find out no booze is being sold.
prob only a few hundred so far (since this news came out) and how many are repeats?

good thing it was posted on .info, in a thread that has around 5,000 views so far!
would you have preferred that people show up and then find out ?
Quote from: Me!;122354prob only a few hundred so far (since this news came out) and how many are repeats?
you\'re right. i\'m sure no one will see it or care. not like anyone\'s responded to the initial post anyways..
Quote from: derickw;122364i don\'t think everyone has to get worked up...... it won\'t go though before the show
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 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.
So, wildcoyote...are you going to be bringing shit loads of tickets to Richter\'s tomorrow??? Let\'s get this thing rollin\'!!!!!
perhaps Toad\'s needs to keep their house in better order.
I am glad that things got clarified. I honestly wasn\'t going to bother to book a hotel if they were not serving booze.
Quote from: weekapaug19;122302are there any cheap hotels within walking distance of toad\'s?

I would be there even if i had to be just baked beyond reason.
(should i have mentioned this here :wah:? oh well)

how many shows have I had to sneek in 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...
you could even blame the police
wow. um, where to begin...
With that said I heard from a reliable source that Page McConnel will be sitting in on keys for FFVIII. ;)
Also CONFIRMED: Everyone in costume gets a shot of Jagr on the way in the door before you get carded!
Sources include a band member\'s wife, the house light tech (who is a huge dork), and the bass player for INXS who I spoke with and confirmed that this is a long-standing unwritten Toad\'s policy dating back to INXS\'s Halloween show in 1985.

Theme?
we believe it\'s a trio/power trio theme, though there won\'t be an official announcement until after new year\'s..
I don\'t have enough time to throw together a trio idea, especially not really knowing 2 other people out there who want to go with the theme. So what do you think:
a) Canadian or
b) the Guinness Fairy?
(I really have worn both of these costumes to theme parties before, got some laughs)
i LOVE INXS... i hope theres a sit in... i also heard there is going to be a vocal jam by the New Kids on the Block
Just wanted to stop in to say that my costume will not go with the theme and nobody better bitch about it.
Thanks.

I have no idea what I am going to be for Halloween. Got to put some effort into it this week or I\'ll be going sober on 10/27.
No worries, it\'s a SEXY Spongebob costume.
anybody know exactly how much it will be at the door to get in? I just looked to get tix in advance and it comes to 16.50 each.....shouldn\'t it be cheaper to get them in advance?
Anything going on Thursday night? So far it looks like Spacey and Gencs are picking me up at the airport around 10:45, then who knows.

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.
Oh shit!!! I thought you\'d have trouble staying alive until saturday....you\'ll be lucky to make until friday evening....

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.

<<< has no costume
Procrastinate and this is what happens...
I had 6 weeks. Had great, glorious ideas, then I just sat around and now, I am down to the wire again this year. I\'ll get something together but it won\'t be good.
I\'m pretty proud of mine...original, to say the least. And I get to dress in my favorite color (green) from head to toe.
i got nothin\'... :shrug:
in any case, im still going friday.

-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.

what was the name of that place in hartford?
Quote from: oldnewbie;123740what was the name of that place in hartford?
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.
toad\'s is actually opening up more locations.
My flight lands in 12 hours...see you cats tomorrow :banana:

Tell them you are not feeling up to par and that you want to go home and rest so that on Monday you will be able to perform to the highest level on Monday. It\'ll work.
