The Lily Pad.

Not sure where this is but I don\'t see TP on the main stage unless he is opening.

Might also be able to get there by taking the door by the atm outside.

I would really like to see some people at this show......  This is Tim\'s first solo show at Toads.......So all of you going to BAR tonight, consider this, there is a built in crowd at BAR especially if the weather is nice......  

There is no built in crowd at Toads Lilly Pad, and with the attendance at Breakfast shows at Toads of late, I plead with all of you to come support Tim at his first time playing Toads Upstairs.......Thank you.

Post by: Spacey on June 17, 2009, 09:51:28 am
I agree, Mr. G.

Never been to the Lily Pad and this presents an opportunity to see it.

Personally, I would like to see Wednesday night move from BAR to a new stomping ground. Every 2-3 years change it up and make it new.

Just like Richter\'s before BAR, this BAR must die, this BAR must die.

BAR is free.

What changes from BAR to the Lily Pad that is worth $5?

$5 is a lot of money these days.

BAR is free.....but everyone is talking about throwing festivals for the breakfast and supporting tim and the other guys in the band......I do not think that 5 bucks is too much for what Tim produces on stage for his solo shows.....This lilly pad show, could and probably will be just a one shot deal, so come show Toads that Tim from the Breakfast can draw a crowd instead of drawing dick.........for the love of broseph.

Post by: Spacey on June 17, 2009, 11:04:44 am
I agree that this is a much more affordable way to support the band and its members.

So is buying merch.

The pad is definitely worth $5.

I don\'t understand how there could be this much confusion on such a simple issue.

It ain\'t fucking rocket science.

If the dude playing the gig has different information then the venue, where is the breakdown?

In my professional opinion this is completely unacceptable at this point in the game. There is no excuse for it.

If someone posts a M-I-C-K-E-Y b.s., I will come and punch you in the eye.

I will not.

This is simple.

Not rocket science, broseph.

I\'m not even trying to say that it is one persons fault or another.
It is unacceptable to have conflicting information for such an easy thing.

I take that back. Who ever is doing Tim\'s booking needs to start verifying these details.

Check out Toads Place (http://www.toadsplace.com/wp/shows/1576) to get the real information.

The venue is perfect for timmy tour.  even with a loud ass reggae band down stairs, you would never know when tim and adrian were playing........

Though Tim played a ton of old breakfast tunes as well as old timmy tour tunes, i stressed that those dont count as new.  Fresh Cut, Sundance, Jersey Thursday, to name a few.......

What adrian does with one congo would make tito puente look twice.....unreal.............

PS.  Thanks again to GLuft3 for coming to introduce himself.  Nice meeting you broseph.....see you when im lookin at ya........

Let me just say what a pleasure it is to be at toad\'s place but not have to endure the dark, sticky depths of the downstairs! that upstairs bar is certainly perfect for timmy tour! nice little dance floor, places to sit, cute little bar thats a bit separate from the rest of the place.... its really very charming up there. I will most definitely be back for the next tim show!

I believe Attraction to Shady Ditty and Love Lake were among the list of old school breakfast tunes.... i cant believe i still remember there lyrics to attraction (i think even tpalms stumbled over the words at one point).... very heavy breakfast show, with no complaints on this end... highlight for myself was yelling "breakfast>phish>breakfast" and getting served a sick Future Peek>Harry Hood> Future Peek... glad we finally used that dance floor ;)

all in all a great night... plus an unexpected, but awesome latenight afterward.... thanks to my guests for being so great (also, someone left their ipod?)
