Petition for West Coast Appearances
« Reply #15 on: May 05, 2009, 06:12:51 pm »
I\'m starting the petition against West Coast shows.  Keep the Breakfast in the northeast where they belong and where 95% of the fanbase is.  No need to shlep 3,000 miles to play for the same number of people you would play for here.  California sucks.  Oregon sucks.  Washington sucks.  Arizona sucks.  In fact, the entire pacific timezone could sink into the ocean and I don\'t think anyone would notice.  The Breakfast belongs on the west coast like the Pope belongs in AA, or like mayonnaise belongs on pizza.  Enjoy the recordings you slow-talking aimlessly-drifting patchwork-wearing SCI-loving west coast hippie bitches.

Keeping it local might be a good thing. Even if Phish came to NYC and I wanted to go, it\'d still cost a couple hundred bucks at least. So take a few hour flight and stay with a .info-er, catch a two night run, then it\'d be worth it to make the trek.

I usually stay w/ friends when out for shows but still the cost and hassle of flying is no longer offset by the joy the shows bring to me.
It goes deeper than that but whatever.

Well you\'ve gotten your wish is all I can say.

You have admitted in the past you would not mind if the band became just regional.

Fuck You Seth.

I never know which is funnier; me being sarcastic or leith taking my blatantly sarcastic posts seriously.  I haven\'t seen leith\'s posts in years but I\'ll bet a ticket to a Breakfast show he took me seriously.

What medicine?
I\'m cool w/ the band not touring anymore. Even if they did come out here it would probably be just a waste of money but a nice vacation for them.


Seth posted an obviously sarcastic post to most.

What people in general do not know is that Seth actually does feel exactly as he posted.

He just does not want to be seen as the selfish prick he actually is and took his chance to post his real feelings couched in supposed sarcasm.

He\'s actually right though. This band should just concentrate on the region if they actually want to make a living at this.
There is no real fanbase other than the NE region outside of sporadic patches around the country.

No one is coming out to see a band that only comes around every couple years.

Personally I\'m just here now to talk shit and to check out if any recordings surface from the few gigs they have.

Yeah there is a DJ Barry Smolin I believe on KPFK that really loves the guys and used to introduce them when they would play out here.
Nice to hear he still has that love.
