Breakfast show: Sunday the 5th of July at the Stony Creek Puppet House.
We have a house rented out in the Thimble islands. BBQ and party there in the day, go inland for the show that night.
A good way to send the boys off before the midwest dates..

It\'s a long weekened.  But it\'s still a bad idea.

You are right, Sunday isn\'t ideal but.. It is a good location and if people are coming up for the Toads show, it\'s the day after.
Guess I should have done my homework.
Let\'s see what I find out.
PS Somewhat horrified of puppets and kind of mortified by the stories I heard about said crack smoking and similar but I still think it would be sweet as hell to rage that house of Puppetry.

August 20, 2005: Puppet House Theatre:  Branford, CT

I: Gladys Pimp And Kangaroos With Me* > Drunk Monk Bar, Fresh Cut, What The Funk**, jam > Puppetry^# > Garcian Fishbowl^^ > Frankly Po Zest > Puppetry#, Doughboy

II: Sgt. Pepper\'s Lonely Hearts Club Band## > With A Little Help From My Friends > Lucy In The Sky With Diamonds, Getting Better, Fixing A Hole, She\'s Leaving Home@, Being For The Benefit Of Mr. Kite!, Within You Without You, When I\'m Sixty-Four, Lovely Rita, Good Morning Good Morning > Sgt. Pepper\'s Lonely Hearts Club Band (Reprise) > A Day In The Life

III: Beef Barley, Buquebus > Drum Solo, May Fly Disarray, Rufus@@ > Food For Thought$ > Superfly Phaddy Fat$$

E: Rockin\' In The Free World%


Set II is The Beatles\' Sgt. Pepper\'s Lonely Hearts Club Band in its entirety.

* Finished 8/19 version; Tim\'s vocal mic out; no lyrics until ~10 mins. in.
** with \'Funk-A\' teases.
^ with Puppet House guy on puppet.
^^ Finished 8/19 version.
# with \'Garcian Fishbowl\' teases.
## with Jed Cordell on trombone; with balloon war; with 2 female flashers on stage.
@ Tim on ukulele.
@@ with \'Third Stone From The Sun\' (Jimi Hendrix), \'Top Gun\', \'Inca Roads\' (Frank Zappa), and \'I Can See Clearly Now\' (Jimmy Cliff) teases.
$ Thought 1: "The Puppet House Rocks" (x3)
Thought 2: "Welcome Gregg Ellis to the lights for The Breakfast!"
$$ with vocal jam intro.
% Adrian on guitar/vocals; Tim on drums.

Looks like straight up balls to the wall.
Time to start investigations.

How about people put in some effort to get people to the shows already scheduled instead of feeling obligated to get a poor business decision band out of debt?

Stop putting effort into festivals and shows and put people in to the shows already?

Or is promoting too much effort for everyone?

It appears to be.

Space, I agree completely with what your saying and this one is completely for my selfish desires (obviously).

You can only accomplish trying to get people to shows by word of mouth. Without having the flyers in hand it makes things a bit more difficult.  I was up in NYC this past weekend and it would have been a great opportunity to pass off some Crash Mansion flyers (which I don\'t think exist, to the best of my knowledge). Whatever the fate of the band, I think we all care about them enough to get our shit together and do our best to do some serious promo. There a Phish dates for crying out loud.
I think we need to make some sweet ass flyers, maybe on a different kind of card paper with delicious graphics. On them we will have the Boston Boat, Crash Mansion and Toads show listed. And while the paper, etc. might cost a tiny bit more the final product will be much more attractive and have much more of an impact on people, I think.
If you have ever seen one of the Indobox flyers, they are sweet as hell and very appealing. It makes a difference.

I have talked to a couple friends who have had some ideas that are in the works for other means to raising money as well. We can see how that pans out.

Either way, though this thread may seem to contradict this, I think it\'s really important  to do everything we can to get people to the shows that are already booked.

puppet house is in the shitter.  i know some wacked out crazy kid who works for branford tv that like lives there.   BAD IDEA.    Some bad heads are around that establishment.

I also heard from someone else that way that the owner is seriously cracked out as Freddie did mention.   No one goes there anymore.   Its become a den of misfit junkies.

Spacey,  i agree with you. I can think of at least 100 places i\'d like them to play, including my back yard...but we need to concentrate on promotion.
