If The Breakfast are going to make it...

[Igziabeher]

why would he wish to be working for a band that pays shite?

[WALSH]

I have seen the Disco Biscuits in like 14 states and 2 different continents...soes that make me "HETTY"?  I once did a run of 6 shows in 7 nights on two continents and I have seen about 141+/-  Breakfast shows...that HAS to make me "HETTY"...wait no that just makes me happy and I keep a full time job and many vices.

Leith...I might be in San Fran for 12/8 and 12/9 for the Biscuits...you should go.

[Igziabeher]

WALSH, check your pm box.

[Ant-Man]

Why are people taking personal offense to all this?

I don\'t think leith cares about anyones personal affairs, nor do I think he wanted to attack them.  Point is when you see a band with a bunch of home town kids trailing that says something...

[leith]

yeah. is that why you wish you were working for the breakfast.

Ha. Yeah I had that desire in \'03 and up to about Summer of \'04 when I realized I just did not have the dedication to move to CT. and actually try and get them to hire me on. San Diego is just waay to nice.
That and I realized I would be giving up the opportunities I had spent the last 3 years building. That is where I am now. Working for bands when their normal LD is unavailable and they still desire a high quality show. Being able to bail and catch shows I want to see is priceless.

why would he wish to be working for a band that pays shite?

The same reason Gencs and Ellis do. DEDICATION TO THE BAND and THE BELIEF IT WILL ALL PAYOFF IN THE END. The same reason anybody works in a band from the bottom up.
Oh and they get to watch 3 stellar musicians each night.

You sir are one of the Hettiest folk I know. You are the perfect example of what I am getting @. It is truly all about priorities.
We just happen to have some of the same things @ the top of the list like as much music as possible.
2 nights in SF w/ you and a bunch of Bisco freaks?
hmmmmmmmm Yeah I guess that does sound like fun. For right now yeah I am in.

That is truly all I was getting at. Thank you for taking the time to sift through my BS way of getting a point across.

Leaf,
What the hell is wrong with you?  You can\'t even imagine how much of an idiot you sound like.  You are such a hypocrite it\'s a joke.  For starters, you are completely jealous of all the successful people on here.  They\'ve built up their net worth by making intelligent financial decisions, not spending every dime they earn.  Go read the Wall Street Journal before you get up in everyone\'s mix tape.  TLG is so bad they shouldn\'t be allowed to perform.

I\'m not even gonna bother Erika. Check your PM box.

poop.

Me, Alex Defeice and Josh Kroop just spent the moning batting around all those issues.....

No simple answers as to how to build this thing better.  But its pretty obvious to all of us that we haven\'t hit the mark yet.  And that goes for all of us.....

Still...we have a great new record to promote and we are going about the business of doing just that.  As far as TLG or any other band, its a tough business with very vague chemistry.  Hell, if it were up to me King\'s X would have been the biggest band in the world.  Last time around here they pulled maybe 200.

We are all working it, and we appreciate your support.  I\'d be happier if ya\'ll could learn to have your disagreements a bit more pleasantly tho.....

[Jim Cobb]

vic, just be happy he\'s turned on us now instead of you.

[Steffmo]

Jim....

I keep a rooled up newspaper next to my keyboard so I can wak Lieth on the nose when necessary.

BUT, like most puppies, you have to respect the undying love the Lieth exhibits with his commentary.  Fact is, I don\'t mind listening to him most times because there are some gems of, dare I say it, wisdom that make it worthwhile.

I could live without the "I know everything that\'s wrong the everything" stuff, but I can get by that stuff.

Interesting thread.  You know it seems like a few more people should fly out west.  I mean you got to take a vacation anyway, why not coordinate it with a run of Breakfast shows?  In March I went to Arizona, went in and out of the Grand Canyon twice on foot, and saw 2 Breakfast shows.  Awesome vacation. Why not do it?  Now I\'m doing 5 days hiking in Arizona, and 2 or 3 Breakfast shows - should  be awesome.  All I\'m saying is... What do you do with your vacation time?  Go to some stupid all-inclusive resort in the carribean catering to boring married couples with no sense of adventure?  Or come out west and see these awesome national parks and scenic wonders, and cram in a couple of shows.  

All I\'m saying is, before you say its a dumb idea to go out west and see shows, ask yourself: what could be a better vacation?  What are you gonna do go to fuckin Epcot center?
