Again - people are twisting what I am saying. I started this thread because I was inquiring why there were more Side Project shows than Breakfast shows. It\'s a legitimate question when you think about it. This is the time of year where they can get the most exposure. People are off from work and are more apt to go see live music. I can appreciate how hard it is to gain any ground in this business and in the jam band community - unless you\'re the GD, Phish or any of the large acts, people other than the core community will forget your name unless you\'re out there. The people on this site are the core community and we should be trying to bring in more and more people rather than keep the same familiar faces. Myself, I haven\'t been to a show in ages but if I know someone that likes the style of music, I will try and turn them on to the band. But in order to bring in more fans, they need to be out there. I remember when I used to hang around with the PB, they would play at least 2 shows a week, but sometimes up to 5 and multiple shows a day. But life has a funny way about throwing a wrench into plans. All I was trying to say in my last post is, if they want to keep chugging along at the same pace, then it\'s going to be tough to move ahead. I\'m not being an optimist or pessimist, just a realist. I\'ll leave with this - constructive critism is not a bad thing. If everyone told you that everything you did in life was great, then you would keep doing the same thing, but if someone gave you some constructive critism, you might try and work on that and better yourself. And if it my statement was clear before, read this - I LIKE THE BAND AND THINK THAT THEY ARE GREAT, DO I THINK THAT THEY CAN BE BETTER, YES!
