What website did you get this shit off of? Huh?

I want a slimpickens review. Is there a balcony? How many seats? Will there be orange drink served?


It\'s been more than a decade since I\'ve been there.  A decadent & slurry decade chock full of drunken surly behavior that I\'ve probably intentional forgotten.

It\'s your typical turn of the century small town government building - that just happens to have a theater in it.  Yes, if memory serves there is a balcony, however it is probably guarded by an impenetrable velvet rope.

Frankly, I fear that this shows success is questionable.  It\'s a horrible location, don\'t get me wrong, Newtown is beautiful, but not the the axis of Connecticut nightlife or as Neil said "everyone knows this is nowhere!".  The venue lends itself more to geriatric fashion shows then face melting life affirming music.

That being said, this is the Breakfast we\'re talking about.  The stage will be flooded by Ellis Lights, the music will come off the stage like a cannon blast and if enough of us get together for this the show and venue will go down in Breakfast lore as one of the greats.

turn it up to 11 and it will look like the doors in the palace theater

There probably is some stupid law that makes noise after sundown illegal.

Who\'s got my morphine lollipops?  Then the cops won\'t know a thing;)

I for one am excited about this, but doubt the acoustic thing since I am guessing it will be radiovised...OOOOOHHH, GDRadio should do a live feed too.
Too fat for a tandem bike, and too drunk for a Mountain Bike...taste the fear.

Have you ever tried syncing Real Radio up to Pulp Fiction......its pretty amazing.  There is a reason why both works have two word titles.............

Oh yeah...its a WPKN benefit...good cause.
