Heyy have you talked to Ashley? I can\'t make it up to Burlington my buddy\'s got a local show tonight and love must be shown. I thought you did talk to her though.. anyway can you make it until the drive back down?? I can also overnight it anywhere. I\'m stuck at work today but I think you have Ash\'s # she\'s around today hopefully we can figure something out that doesn\'t leave you in a tough spot medically.

It was awesome chillin with all y\'all who made it pre/post show, I now know like twice as many of you guys names ... I\'m tired as hell today
(passes out on keyboard) .. uh what oh yeah

Dave I feel your disdain for IHEG. The upside, lots of good bands come to town. The downside, they are dicks about everything. Crew from Strangers Helping Strangers was with us pre/post show and apparently Iron Horse wouldn\'t even let them set up or go inside until they managed to sneak in for a few minutes at the end. Are you serious. What venue makes Strangers Helping Strangers do a food drive outside in the freezing cold right outside the door? Dicks being dicks.
....
Speaking of dicks, here is my dick review of the show. "Good by most bands\' standards, weak sauce by Breakfast standards". It was nice to see the balcony open and one of the biggest crowds I\'ve seen for them at Iron Horse.
I don\'t know if I should even say this, like I don\'t want to jinx the band or offend people. But we are all grown ups here. I\'d rather have seen a trio show. Yeah I understand Stoops just half-learned the songs like 5 minutes ago. But whatever. The fact is the difference between the last show I saw (Sully\'s -- totally epic) and last night was stark. Obviously Todd Stoops can play fast keyboards and did some cool things. But to be honest I found his playing rather tasteless and just not my dig at all. That was among my least favorite PB/Breakfast shows of all time.
Tricky Ways ser bustout was the icing on the cake.
I did not expect to see Matt O. in the audience. I also did not expect to find myself practically begging him to come back after the show. Yet, these things did occur.
If Stoops is sticking around I think I gotta hear some real ser live recordings in the future. I\'m a little pissy about this and would like to know the damn deal -- and based on last night hopefully its not perma-Stoops.
