how come the breakfast isn\'t playing bonaroo?

[daffodil]

i keep seeing new band announcements, and much to my dismay, the breakfast is never one of them.  there are so many lesser bands on there.  i think playing bonaroo would be a great way for them to get some more exposure.  why are they getting the shaft?

Please send an email to Superfly Productions and let them know that you want The Breakfast to play Bonaroo.

ok, i will...but i\'m wondering if anyone knows the scoop on why they\'re not already on the bill?

[john_the_sloth]

personally i think  that the breakfast is too good for the roo. the roo has lost my respect. last year and in 2002 were some amazing shows....I don\'t think that this year will be as intense though, too many people are there for the drugs, and it get\'s to be really annoying.

[daffodil]

how could you have lost respect for something that hasn\'t happened yet, when you say the past 2 years were amazing?  that makes no sense.

[JSleeper240]

come on maaaaaaaan,  you scooby dooin\' to the \'Roo?? get some dank nuggs, eat some boomers, peep the scene. it\'s all about the vibe, man!! ... so heady, gonna be some dank jams.

Welcome to the jamband scene....A nice front for drug traffic-ing heady nugs brahh

dude i know i\'ve been in the scene and aware of this since 7th grade, but it\'s guys like the shwag smoking dude in bittersweet motel that are going to become more increasingly a part of the roo....plus this years lineup is o.k. but it has many faults...ive seen both dylan and willie nelson a couple of times recently and it was horrible, bob sounds like a constapated frankenstein. plus, even though dave & friends are amazing, think of all the fans that he will bring in. i\'m not one to really care about the style of music, just as long as it\'s good, but for the love of the scene...bonnaroo needs to stick to jambands....although with 3 of the 4 guys from phish being there....now that would be amazing! plus TAB, Vida Blue, JMP all have talent....remember when O.A.R. played at the Roo.....all of the OSU frat guys went to the roo....plus The Black Keys, Maroon5, & Kings of Leon have some shady fans that i know will be there...not to say that our scene doesn\'t but...be careful because they are joking about stealing shit from peoples tents.....you want a fest....Summercamp or High Sierra are festivals. Maybe i\'m wrong though, hopefully I am...because i\'d hate to see a great festival like Bonnaroo lose touch with it\'s jamband roots.

I have to admit though....

but like you said, it\'s about the vibes right? well, that\'s just reason i don\'t already have my tickets, and cancelling plans for that weekend....the vibes don\'t look to be too kind.

[john_the_sloth]

oh and by the way....i agree with you on the heady nugs part....i\'m gonna see if i can get someone who is going (like my sister) to pick up the finest stuff there. last year i bought an 1/8 of Maui-Wowie and White Widow....yummmmy!!!

[realisthis]

Yeah, I know what your sayin about the festival getting too big and too diverse that people who arent into music are gonn end up going...Good for them, let them go, well still have fests like High Sierra like you had said, that you wont find any frat boys at bud...

[leith]

All I know is Tenn. in the Summer is way hotter than I want to be while tore up and dancing. So many bands but NO WAY to see them all,why waste the cash when every one of these bands will be by (your town here) in the near future if not already been by. Or save the $$$ u would have spent on Bonnaroo and hit the nxt Breakfast tour
I love fests and all but Bonnaroo never really appealed to me.

[daffodil]

i dunno man, i remember the time in between when the first one was announced, but prior to the festival, everyone was saying it was gonna be a huge disaster, but it turned out beautiful.  i think it\'s ridiculous to put down a festival\'s "scene" before it actually happens.  i think you\'re being way judgemental.  mind you, i\'m not going this year, cause it\'s too much of a haul for me right now, but not because i think it will suck.

but anyway, i digress...i think it would be a great opportunity for the breakfast if they played there, and i\'m still wondering why they\'re not on the bill.

[JSleeper240]

I was kiddin\' about all that stuff, sarcastically, hence the
...didn\'t pick up on that I guess.

[daffodil]

i don\'t see anyone not picking up on the sarcasm.

[bluefunknebula]

just got the AGP mailer...they\'ve just been added to the bill at bonnaroo...
