Spring Tour 2006 - Dates & Discussion

al - i\'ll be posting handbills for the tour tomorrow...

Great!!  I\'ve got the S.F. handbills (courtesy of the PME) all ready to roll with the samplers.

I\'m going to include http://www.thebreakfast.info and http://www.thebreakfast.net references somewhere near the samplers.

Another date in Az. would be so great.
 I also think this tour has much potential for the band in terms of larger exposure for sure. It does hit alot of markets they have not been to in awhile.

I DEFINITELY VOTE FOR ONE LAST SHOW SATURDAY NIGHT APRIL 1st IN ARIZONA! Preferably just a second night in Flagstaff.  The perfect venue to play in Flagstaff is the lounge downstairs at the hotel Monte Vista.  This is the type of venue that is full of people who just walked in off the street.  You will play to a totally different crowd than the crowd at Mogollon Brewing company.

Hopefully the "potential" show isn\'t another April Fools joke, wouldn\'t be the first time the band played a 4/1 trick.

March 17th the Breakfast will be featured opener for Bonerama at the Boulder Theater.

I\'m told this theater is is about 1000 seats.  Bonerama is a great jazz tinged band from new Orleans.

A good way to fill the only open Friday on the tour.

Flagstaff is being worked on, can;t say if it will fly.  I think there might be one other change where a better offer has come in for a date.  Stay tuned.

^^^niiice.. Boulder Theater is the shit. id love to see TB there, any who have the opportunity better get their ass in gear and hit up this show. how long is their set?

i still can\'t believe theres a band touring called "bonerama"


hopefully most of these shows will be taped

Out of curiosity, why are there no dates on the trip home? Maybe it is something I don\'t/won\'t/can\'t understand but doesn\'t make sense to make the trip out there playing and the trip home playing?

interesting question

Since they have to pass through lots of the country on the ride home, a couple dates would be nice for the cities/states they have never left footprints in.  

Somebody should tell Tim that the http://www.thebreakfast.org address, posted on the top of all the Vernal Equinox Tour posters/handbills, no longer redirects users to http://www.thebreakfast.net.  You basically get a blank page with no mention of the band.  I spent my Friday night handwriting (I was too busy at work to find a label maker to do the job for me) http://www.thebreakfast.net and http://www.thebreakfast.info on the cd sleeves of 200 samplers which will be passed out in S.F. and Berkeley this afternoon.  

One question related to the tour for Shadygroove: Are you rounding up the Iowans for the second coming of Breakfast in Iowa City?  Haven\'t heard any mention of the show yet.  Would be nice if the band is greeted by a solid Tuesday night crowd on tour\'s debut event.

Sorry I\'ve been slacking on the boards lately. Things are keeping me busy (mostly drinking). I\'ve been spreading word, flyers and praise for the Iowa City gig like crazy and am expecting to see a good sized crowed on Tuesday night. I was out at the Yacht Club last night and whispered "The Breakfast" in a crowded room and everyone around me turned in amazement like I just spoke of God. Iowa City\'s a heady crowd and every time TB comes out I see the fan base skyrocket. It should be nuts. Plus I\'m hitting the streets again tonight to spread more of the good word.

With my spare time in between I\'ve been working on some promo posters to give away. If I get them done in time I\'ll leave a stack with any pulling the full tour so the rest can be dispersed through the states.

On the same note how many .infoers are making it to Iowa City and Omaha? I could probably sift through the forum and find out but that may take some time.

[Steffmo]

Unfortunately there are some personal committments that prohibit playing on the way back.

If you notice however, the band is already scheduled to be in Minneapolis at the end of April....so a tour will be forming around that.

Also notice the return date at Danials Street on April 6, which I think will be the first date back from tour.

Daniel Street II, ehhnice!
