Poll: The Breakfast NYE 06>07 Extravaganza! Donde Esta?

[derickw]

HEADLINING AT Toad\'s would be the ideal situation

fixed

[Me!]

^^valid, no more opening gigs on NYE, we should be beyond that

[bdfreetuna]

Iron Horse does suck. I\'ve been saying Breakfast should be playing Pearl St. Ballroom for some time now.

Calvin would be nice but lets not get ahead of ourselves

Toad\'s kinda sucks too. Not a chill vibe for a venue IMO, and splitting the 21+ from the 21under is wack. Not every town is as lucky to have a sweet venue as Newmarket NH.

I am pretty sure that Toads is booked for NYE......

Its just personal opinion, but I like New Haven and Providence way better than Boston.....I just get an obnoxious sense of entitlement from people who live in Boston....Entitled to what you ask?  I have no idea......  Maybe I just need to have more than 3 good nights in Boston in my life to help sway my feelings...

If Tobacco Road was open, I would hope there would be no need for this thread......ah well....I guess we will just have to wait and see........

[derickw]

well the longer it sits on the back burner the less chances we have of getting into a decent venue

from what i saw The Cetury Lounge isn\'t booked as of yet. couple good shows in the cue as well RAQ, P-Groove, U-Melt all of which i think i\'m yet to see.

Oh Callahan\'s those were the days!! I still don\'t know how that place was able to be 18+ with the faux wall in there

Yeah, they stretched that rule from here to Cali!!!

[Buquebus]

I agree w/ superw00k here.. somewhere like the bowery, post moe. throw down, BUT with an early ACOUSTIC show for the heads to ring in the new year... with an opener we\'ve heard of....

[wiredchicken]

chances are other larger bands will be pulling away some of the crowd, leaving the b\'fast with a possible doozie.

acutally, if it was an after show, it may help that much more. i mean, the moe.rons have become VERY suppostive of the Breakfast....

[cosmoechuck]

gotta agree with colin on this.  a late show in nyc would be very ideal.  there are quite a few places to choose from: lucilles at bb kings, coda(although umelt might already be looking into that), bowery as mentioned, tonic(a touch small but a cool place along the same size as coda), the knit again.  also plenty others as well im sure.  

ill be at moe. so hte only way i catch hte breakfast is a late show.

[wiredchicken]

eitherway, i think they should really be getting ready to annoucnet hier plans for NYE. so people can make arangements and rooms dont get booked.  interested to see what thier shoice is....

Steve said he was pretty sure that Toad\'s has been booked.

Steve said he was pretty sure that Toad\'s has been booked.

This is true, though not concrete yet.  Toad\'s is reserving the right to pull the plug if the Freakout flops, but good attendence @ 1,000 went a long way to put the band back in Toad\'s good graces.

After B\'fast NYE in \'03 and \'04, Toad\'s rolled the dice with the "B. Willie Smith Band" for \'05, which was truly awful.  80 indifferent people, and compliants from the band that drunken club employees pelted them with snowballs as they were leaving.

that\'s awesome.. i guess if i were stuck working on NYE and they were playing, i\'d have done the same thing!

[wiredchicken]

oh, i thought steve was maybe saying the club was booked by someone else. i still think a show in NYC would do great.

Yeah, what did they possibly get for tips from 80 people? Add this to the list of "You know your band sucks when..."
