Don\'t think I\'ll be able to go.  Will have to work that night.  That\'s a busy day for the news industry.

This is just about a week away, time to get some buzz going.
School is back in session so maybe we can get some of the students out for this event.

They should hook up with Consider the Source; both are pretty hard-hitting bands that could possibly share some fans.  Justin told me they draw a few hundred in NYC.  I explained to him that I heard about his band on the Breakfast board and he had no idea it was another band\'s fansite, just thought it was a general music message board.

yeah, man. definitely. my buddies in wounded buffalo theory are working on a fall or winter party with CTS and of course i would love to get breakfast on there as well, which could definitely happen if the boys are in town during the party. plan is to have a brooklyn warehouse type of all-night throwdown. instant fan base collaboration. wbt and cts are buddies and are building up fans nicely in nyc. no reason breakfast wouldn\'t fit right in w/ that crowd. just a matter of time...

never forget and all that jazz but life goes on
does someone in the band have a particularly personal connection to the events of that day?
