Toad\'s Place; New Haven, CT

[Spacey]

Believe me when I tell you my apprehension is justified.  

Typical Toad\'s.  Some great stuff going on, but just enough fuckheadedness to jeopardize it all.

If you have 20 minutes or so tonight to listen to me rant,  find me and I\'ll give you the run down.

We will discuss this later this evening.

It appears Shakedown is opening for the Breakfast, yet not officially.

My guess is they were offered the opening slot, but refused.  So what does Toad\'s do?  Counter offer an "early show" immediately before the Breakfast!  :lol:
The laughs never stop with this place.  

By the way, maybe we should do some promo on this....

I\'ll get out the beating stick for some discount passes, anyone else with ideas?

Poster downtown New Haven and the surrounding area. Simple approach. Flood the area with the bands name. More people see and hear the name "The Breakfast", the more intrigued they will become. Eventually we\'ll wear them down and they\'ll cave in.

[Me!]

May have to call in sick to make this one......

careful about puttin flyers up around new haven on telephone poles or mailboxes or places like that cuz a few years ago the city wanted to fine the band $$ for every flyer that was put up and i think Kroop got em out of it. finding people with interest, like during the parade, and giving them promo would be best if you/we are still coherent and sensible..lol

I was referring to putting them up in businesses and such. No real use putting them on poles and shit, most of the time they are useless, at least in a business people have a good chance og seeing it coming in and out of business.

[Spacey]

tonight is going to be a tough night if this snow doesn\'t let up. it will be more people staying in than going out.

[Todd]

Many shows, if not all, will probably be postponed. It\'s supposed to be pretty ugly.

[Spacey]

I know. I was hoping it would ease a little. I am suppose to meet up with GFunk but the roads in Wallingford look real bad.

[derickw]

my work is finally letting  me out early... peace yall, have fun at the EC

Happy St. Patties Day

[Spacey]

I have 5 posters left that I had printed that need a home. Anyone help? or know of a good spot?

[Stephengencs]

I think we should have Tim ask Deiter and the manager of BAR if we could hang a poster in their bars respectively.....If they employ Tim they should support his band, no?  I know there is probably a conflict with taking away their business, but maybe they could coordinate a preshow party at each venue which would enhance the bars business and maybe help draw to the show.....
