Baja Bash is a go

Pretty much yeah. They have been knocked down the ladder w/ each update(this being the last one) but other than YMSB(which is a current fad though a really good band) the other bands listed ahead of them have had big crowds for awhile. Due to their excellence though The Breakfast have been slotted for 2 performances @ the Bash !!

honestly, I LOVE the Breakfast but who would really travel from the east coast to go see that ...maybe I am just getting tired of the over saturation of jambands...the only good thing on that list is The Breakfast and I can\'t afford CA just for them(even though I love the boyz!!!)

No need for hostility man;)  Ilove reggae and good vibes and if you haven\'t felt good vibes at at Biscuit show maybe you are hangin out with the wrong crowd...as for Baja there are many festivals in the eastern part of the country with a lineup much more exciting than that...sorry, but it is true.  If I am coming west for a fest it would be H.S. or Coachella.

Coachella is hell. Believe it.  too hot and wacked out "hipsters". High Sierra is ser i give u that, but ask Todd abt the Baja Bash site. You also have to realize this fest is just coming into it\'s own as it has been in Mexico until last year. So very much under the radar so to speak. But I will tell you that you are blowing it by not comin\' out if @ all possible + the price is a freakin\' bargain for a 4 day fest. As for vibes @ a Biscuit show both times i have seen them aud. energy blah and stage energy so so. Could be that not alot of people knew the material such as myself(yet both shows sold out) I have seen them @ the Belly Up great club but the shows were labeled as sold out w/ PLENTY of room still in the club. What up w/ that? Biscuit policy to play to a 1/2 full club and call it sold out. @ the 1st one I had 3 friends denied entry as they stood there looking @ me inside a 1/2 full club as I was thinking "well their lighting rocks why don\'t they?" The 2nd time was a bit better in the jammin\' out but still not my cup o\' tea for everyday listenin\' but their lights still rock!

Oh yeah this was def. not a club policy. They pack \'em in @ The B-UP!

Well due to the influx of bands instead of having 2 slots The Breakfast are now just playing the time listed on thebreakfast.net. Which is closing out Sat. night so that\'s not too bad.
New site map to be up soon and the Band schedule is up now

1:15am-3:45am.  Saturday night.  Main stage, right after KDTU and Spearhead.  This is by far the best slot the band has ever had.  How the heck did we get a better spot than Particle....that\'s the first time in 3 years.  Particle has the same slot but on Thursday.  What a freakin\' slot, there\'s no reason this shouldn\'t be the best Breakfast show to date.

Makes perfect sense to me Todd, and it is about time.  How many times have they put together a great performance and then not gotten anything the following year?  Berkfest \'01 and \'02, shred the place apart, don\'t get asked back for \'03.  And the ultimate insult, playing possibly the greatest PB show ever at Camp Creek \'01, then not getting asked back because they showed up Max Creek.  (They were too good.)  This slot is long overdue.  It can\'t rain, there are no other bands playing, there\'s guaranteed to be thousands at the fest, I don\'t see how this show can fail short of entirely unforseeable catastrophe.  (I said the 9/14/1 Iron Horse show couldn\'t fail either.  I was right, it didn\'t, but who could have forseen a terrorist attack and the band getting all their gear stolen in the week before the show?)  So I hate to jinx this show, but how can it go wrong?  This show is gonna be colossal.

Well maybe they got the spot due to some lobbying. Nah couldn\'t be that. Maybe they had someone who knows the people runnin\' the event. nah couldn\'t be that. Maybe they just blew doors last time. nah couldn\'t be just that.
Maybe it was ALL THREE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Yep that\'s it. Seeya all there. I\'ll be the guy@ the Lighting Board for every main stage act.

You are da man. Helping make it happen for the band. Truly a general among this small army of fans.

Congrats on the gig. Set that place on FIRE!

Actually the guys that throw the thing LOVE the guys. The only thing I really did was getting the "committee" to commit to the Prime slot. They were going to have 2 slots(Main/2ndstage) with the influx of talent the decision was made to cut some secondary spots. Their Main stage spot was going to be moved but I started some lobbying and made sure they got Sat. closing. Basically made sure they had time to "stretch" out ya know? They could have gone on earlier but time would become a factor they should not have to face.
