ali- the people at wormtown DO NOT PUT ON RINKY DINK festivals.. they have been very supportive and consistantly banging out h3tty g00dtimezzz for ages now.. go aks your lil brother Jake....  it may not be custaroo but shit......

[Lexington]

this festie was full of waste cases, about 80 percent of the attendees were roll-faced in the woods during the sets that i was there (lucky bastards)

First off Tim was having technical issues with the Vox synth, which may have cause some of the issues as to why he was looking strange at them and what not....in his words, "the boards were blowing up when i touched them", personally I thought the synth work was some of his most interesting of late....

Regarding Wormtown......most everyone was tripping on acid or *********.  I love the small little heady festie....Wormtown does a great job, now lets just get the Breakfast in a slot other than the 4pm doodoo slot.....

Not sure why people are knocking Wormtown AGAIN!!!!!!

Mark and Gabriel have been nothing but supportive of the Breakfast for fucking years now. They invite the band to play at everyone of the festivals that they do. Perhaps if any of you fucking slackers ever went to StrangeCreek or Wormtown they might even get a better slot. The worms have given the breakfast headlining spots in 2003 at their festival How many festivals have done that ? (maybe 1 or 2 and that was like this year).

So I make apost about the band not playing the greatest set IMHO and it turns in to the festival is the problem etc etc.

This festival is one of the better festivals in the North east. There is never a search getting in, There is little to no wait to get in ever. You get to camp in the woods like real camping and not shoved together in an open field with no shade. They have music all day some bands start at 4AM in the cabins. Ticket prices at the highest were $70.00 name 1 festival where you get 3 days of music for that price ?

I have to say that I am getting tired of the folks on .info who always make excuses for the band. The crowd for the Breakfast at wormtown (a rinky dink festival as you are saying) was sad. This is in the heart of the bands area and they had a decent sized crowd. RAQ had way more people in front for them rocking out (1 band after the bfast). The crowd size wasn\'t even close. Hell on Sunday for Ryan Montbleau (who I love) they were the 2nd to last band and folks always have a mass exodus on sunday and they still had more people then the Breakfast. The band is either shy or just doesn\'t care. They used to go and mingle with the crowd they haven\'t doent that in years (first time we met Ron he was hangiong out reading by the soundboard). They sometimes do it at bar shows but they are usually never out fostering their own relationships with fans or trying to drum up support for it. I said this to Vallo on Sunday and he took the position that it is the bands job and they usually want to take off. But it is their job to foster support for THEIR BAND and they never do it. They leave it up to others to do. It seems that they are happy with the small tight circle that they have around them, unfortunately that small tight circle cannot fill venues from here to cali.

I love the Breakfast but they need a serious reality check me thinks and so do a lot of you

[Todd]

I\'ve been saying it for years. Yes, it\'s the bands job, but a little people skills goes a very long way!! The best promotion is self promotion!! When was the last time you say any of the band pass out a flyer??? Maybe 3-4 years ago?

someone on the terrapin board started a thread about how awesome they thought the breakfast were Thread Here

i got quite a chuckle out of one of the replies "As a gimic do they throw thomas\' english muffins out to the crowd?"  i think adrien should chuck out random breakfast foods, like how other drummers toss their sticks :banllama: (i luv the banana llama)

[peaches626]

tim and poophead were passin out cds in burlington.... everyone was in a very good mood that night.... it was eehniiiiiiiiiiiiiiice

[skalnbyc]

I have to say that I am getting tired of the folks on .info who always make excuses for the band.

I wanted to make the same comment after many of the recent shows only garnered crowds of 50 people.  The recurring excuses: "the weather was poor", "there was too much going on locally that night", "the kids are out of school", "the kids are in school but don\'t go to shows on XYZ weekend", "the kids are in school, but studying for midterms" etc. etc.

[Jim Cobb]

yeah.

1: I\'m pretty sure the guys want to stay as far away from Breakfast food references as they can.

2: after looking at that message board I would like to thank DavePeck, for keeping some amoutn of organization and cleanliness to this board, that one hurts my eys pics in signatures, animated gifs in signatures, ugh, me! brain hurt ugh....

I have been bummed out about the turnout lately also. I dont think there has been a sudden drop in attendance since Jordo left though, and I dont think people arn\'t coming out because the band is not playing up to par. I dont know what the problem is, promotion maybe? I dont want to be making any excuses, but there has always been doozies. i just dont buy the "The Breakfast wont work w/ out someone on keys." arguement. I dont know how many people are actually saying that, maybe it\'s all in my head..? Btw i agree with Kind M\'s point about the boys needing to mingle with fans more, esp. at a fest like wormtown.
