If B\'fast comes to Georgia it\'ll be killing if they co-bill with this guy I know in town. I sold 270 tickets to my CD release party @ $10 a pop...on a Thursday. Atlanta is my hometown. I know quite a few heads. I\'ve mentioned this to the boys, but I\'m still waiting. Patiently. Very Patiently. I could book some big money GTB shows, too. Nobody listens to the Jew. I don\'t get it.

everyone listens but nobody does anything........

Sounds like Atlanta is a must-do.

the guys would just have to be happy with a couple opening slots..... and i wouldn\'t see it as THAT big a deal, i mean when was the last time the guys actually got to chill out after there set and get wasted besides the hotel at 3-4 in the morning. Take some time... have a little fun gain some new fans one way or another. come home after a couple weeks on the road and throw a ripper at the Webster as a coming home........

just a thought, but these are useless ramblings from a fan........

hey i don\'t mind the Webster. i think it\'s a nice big venue and with enough people it will sound decent, it\'s pretty centrally located as far as between NYC/Boston/and the always heady upstateNY. sure the sound could be better, sure the crew there are bit on the **** side. but for a good part of the people i don\'t think its that big a deal. as long as the energy and crowd size is there i\'m having a good time either way. and as long as you aren\'t blatantly breaking the law it\'s all good. sure you can\'t have your run of the place... it\'s a big venue and not a bar..........................................................................

That\'s just the thing the Breakfast can never get a crowd there large enough to create the energy you speak of. It just is not gonna happen anytime soon either.

hey shut your mouth negative Nancey...... after going on tour and being away for a couple weeks i\'m sure people would be willing to travel and hour or two for a decent home coming show, but in that couple weeks **** NEEDS to happen around here to get people to the show. Everything goes on expecting people to be at the shows..... not gonna happen on it\'s own. but with a good effort to get people out there it could happen. but on the bill NEED to be bands that will draw a crowd not a couple of bands no one has ever heard of no offense to the Moldy Iceberg or whatever there name is........

Hey I\'m just stating fact man. I would love to see them pack it and have tried to get others to put aside their dislike for the place for past shows after hearing it does not sound so bad w/ a full house.

It still just does not happen. As for booking bands that will draw, The Webster has got to think of The Breakfast as one that cannot so if a show there happens it is imperative that any and everyone that thinks they will go buy an advance ticket or 2.

Oh and the opening bands have got to draw crowds that will STAY for The Breakfast\'s set, so there is that to consider.

^^^^ true but this all just here say anyways because it prolly won\'t happen

i don\'t remember the last time i actually bought a presale ticket......... maybe when the breakfast opened for MOE? other than that...

i swear i remember some webster shows 3-5 years ago that drew a good crowd, like 1/2-3/4 of the floor area was elbow to elbow and the bar area was packed.

then again I could have been seeing things, who knows.

I don\'t know why you have not as well as others. It really helps the band more than people think.
There is a reason for venue growth w/ bands like UM and TLG.
A portion of their fans(and the group is growing in fears of getting shut out @ shows) buy tix as soon as announced.
This makes the band look good and further lessens the need for opening bands meaning more time for the band you really want to see/hear.

It also helps a band gain a stronger hand in negotiations for the next time they play the venue.

Dude you are probably right. Unfortuantely this band seems to be going backwards in fan growth.
