3rd breakfast show in a little over a year within walking distance of my apartment.  Can\'t beat that.

Anyone else think a follow up at the Java Barn would be a good idea, or even possible? new york three night run sounds better then two.

Nevermind, mill street it is. Ill take it.

Soy chip! I don\'t think wiping out multiple times on the icy parking lot helped my cause that night.

Anyone going to Westcott make sure you find me. I\'m making some birthday brownies and will bring a bunch to pass out before the show.

can\'t that literally be done with, like, three mouse clicks? i don\'t understand why i never get FB invites to shows. it may be a little annoying, but i bet there are tons of people who are simply unaware of the shows

i dont usually get them either. if i do get them they are usually from people who are local to venues the breakfast play outside of CT.

i think there were like 1600 people who are listed as NOT going. but if thats the average ratio of people going/not going maybe if we try to invite a total of 2000+ facebook people to every single breakfast show on the calendar they would start selling out some shows.

The opening band is a local act so that probably had something to do with it.

probably. but the westcott did invite over 2000 people. and 88 non-.infoes have confirmed their attendance.

 if breakfast fans invited that many of their friends who liked jambands/live music then venues would be sold out often. i think if every breakfast show had over 3000 facebook invites sent out then 2/3 of the venues they play at would be sold out. you wouldnt even be able to get in without buying a ticket in advance for sullys, stone church, red square, sullivan hall, iron horse unless you got there to stand in line before doors opened. everyone needs to invite everyone they know and get them all to forward the invite and keep it going. all of you with over 500 facebook friends need to get to work!!!!

its not a fast track to super stardom. its a tedious job that would be a lot of work to constantly stay on top of and it would require several peoples help always keeping it up to date. you just said you had a good feeling about this one. what made you change your mind and think people wont actually show up?

each event needs photos, a video, and all the links to .info, .org. archive, etc...its not something to do for a just week or a month and give up on. it has to be maintained. if we can eventually invite 3000 jam band fans, shoot mostly  for ages 25 and under, and encourage them to invite everyone they know who likes live music,  it will still make a huge difference even if barely 1% of the invites make it to the show

tea leaf green packed the paradise last weekend and almost everyone i talked to pre show and at setbreak were not even familiar with tlg\'s music at all. most went to the show because they just like jambands and would have been at umphreys, moe, disco biscuits, or whoever was else was in town. i asked everyone i talked to about the breakfast and most of them said they liked the band and mentioned that tim was a sick guitarist or whatever, but most also had said they had not been to a show in a few years. some thought the band broke up and tim went solo, but mentioned reba and crazy sandwiches that they heard tim play on archive/bt.etree.org. not a single person out of the 50-60 i talked over the weekend said they never heard of the band or didnt like them.

more than half of the people i talked to had heard of kung fu also or at least knew tim and adrian were in a new band with stoops. these people are not on .info but i think they would go to a show if they knew they were happening. they threw down $20 for a tea leaf ticket and were not really even fans. so i think they would pay $10 and go to a breakfast show. i dont think anything is being done right now to promote shows in a way to connect with these people who are probably everywhere.

147 people were invited to mill street this for saturday. 21 are going and 20 are maybes. but i just looked on my friend list and invited 40 more people who i know have seen the band at mill st in the past. why were they not invited earlier? this show is only a few days away! if they were invited a week or two ago maybe they could have invited 5 more people each who probably should have been on the list already. and maybe they could have each invited a friend or two. and then it just spreads even further.

for fucks sake i just had to tell paul ryan about the mill st show and he\'s 1 of the only 2 people that can add dates to the .info calendar. if the people in charge of the fan site dont even have the info how are n00bs supposed to find it???

Since you\'re showing up early you should go next door and get dinner at Alto Cinco. They have a really good Catfish burrito.
