Maybe this rant is a bit redundant and unnecessary two days after the show, but this has been bugging me:
Why do we seem to talk about "supporting the band" as if it\'s a painful experience to go to a show and that we would only go because our friends are in the band? A lot of us are, to one extent or another, friends with the members of The Breakfast. But we go to shows because we love the music, and we go, for the most part, whenever we can. "Whenever we can" includes accommodating family, other friends, work, financial situation and whatever else. Under 500 heads at Toad\'s is pretty weak overall, but no fan, regardless of past attendance history, deserves to shoulder the blame for missing a show on a holiday weekend.
