this is fucking whack. cant go to the show in PA and now I cant go to any of these shows in my home state. I mean I really don\'t see the benefit of having it be 21 +... just leaves out the younger people who really have becoming more and more into the breakfest, trust me I see it happeneng. Now what I gotta wait for the break-FEST til I see them again. Fucking weak
we have all been there before, nothing you can do about it, I\'ve missed numerous shows because I wasn\'t 21 at that moment
In the conversations I have had with the band they clearly recognize the importance of the youth movement. They don\'t specifically choose venues in CT because the are 21+, it just happens to be that the venues they play happen to be 21+. If you look at the CT venues it is mostly the same every year. Sully\'s and Toad\'s place. That\'s basically it. IMO, because of the relationship and success of Kung Fu, the Acoustic Cafe decided to bring in the Breakfast for that January gig and then book them for the residency.
Most places they play in CT are glorified bars rather then music venues.
There just aren\'t many under 21 venues in CT that it makes sense for them to play. They either don\'t have the relationship with the venue or the venue is unwilling to book them at a price that makes financial sense.
Trust me...they are not trying to alienate the younger fans. The logistics just don\'t make sense right now for many under 21 venues.
