:chin: Break-Fest has been talked about for years... it can (and should) be done! :awwyeah:
Love your enthusiasm! You\'re awesome!! I think it should be done no matter what the naysayers and realists think... they don\'t have to go! WE CAN DO THIS & HAVE A BLAST which is what lifes all about... the little pleasures! I think the reason this hasn\'t happened is that whenever an idea is put up everyone thinks up problems that may or may not occur immediately. I think we should try it and learn from experience, good or bad. If you never try, you\'ll be safe, but will you ever have fun? The campground I\'m talking about has these two sites set up far from everyone so YOU CAN PARTY and have a good time WITHOUT bothering others... but we\'ll never find out because the ideas already been shot down in everyones mind. I think we should have a much more can-do attitude about these things. I look back on my road trip around the U.S. when we (a friend & I) left for a three month road trip to Idaho (with jobs waiting at Sun Valley) stayed for a year then left on another two month road trip to get home with a foot locker full of food, a tent, a propane grill, a propane stove and $500.00 in my pocket. We had the time of our lives and worked our way through any problems, actually there were far less than we expected. I think back on what a leap of faith that was all the time and the fun we had because we took that leap. It could\'ve gone bad but once you take the first step it\'s amazing how things tend to work out in the end. "Whatever you can do, or dream you can, begin it. Boldness has genius, power and magic in it." - Goethe That\'s all I have to say... I\'m done :banghead::hair: on this subject. HOPE IT CAN AND DOES HAPPEN!! As far as music is concerned there are few bands other than The Breakfast I would like to see pull this off. Other bands may put on festivals but without TB it just don\'t cut it for me... then again I\'m all about their music!

heres the best option if we want to camp, rage and be care free and do our thing: my long time best friend is organizing a music event at his farm in upstate Ny, 40 min south of Albany off the Taconic Pkwy and looking to and hoping to have the Breakfast. It would be this summer and he\'s waitng to hear back from some other bands, so i dont want to say too much. Heres a link with some photos of the place/stage etc. I get up to the farm as much as possible and it is a perfect spot with some history and hope we\'re able to all get up there and hear our faveorite band!
I know of an upstate secluded place they can play with Electricity and plumbing that would include free food and byob/w alcohol. We would just need the permit cost, which is cheap. People could pay for the band\'s gas and time with 25-30 per person. Tent covers available.

dude, hate to burst any bubbles here, but it takes a **** load of equipment to get a band set up to sound good. can\'t just go to a camp ground w/ electricity and think it\'s gonna be cool.

my friends in wounded buffalo theory already throw a sweet ass music festival in upstate ny, called cabinfest. brothers past has played it before.
$50 gets you three days/nights of music, beverages (including keg beer), 2 breakfasts, 2 lunches and 2 dinners. sweet ass deal, huh?!
that being said..
b/c it\'s so cheap to get in, they don\'t really pay the bands very well, if at all.
the other thing being said...
perhaps if there is enough interest in getting the breakfast to something like this (which it sounds like there is) they can work out a deal that is mutually agreeable.

here\'s my photos from last year
Looks like good times! Anything will do from my point of view and the price is right on this one!
P.S. - I\'m not trying to hurt anyones pride by doing a donation show to help them out... I\'d just hate to lose the music that\'s kept me smiling through good times and bad over the years. I\'m not rich but I\'d give what I could to them over anyone else to keep the music alive, they\'ve given me a lot of joy over the years... fact is, money\'s what they need to keep doing what they do.
The Breakfast will be playing at one of the coolest places we as fans will ever get to see. Let it Roll is the name of the festival and it is coming together nicely and going to be a unforgettable time. Great place with lots of possibilities for future stuff to happen . Breakfast are pretty much headlining and think everyone should be on the roll call for this one. theres pics n info on the myspace page

Yep. its a couple thousand acre farm called Sunnyview farms. Its a horse farm hosts/rehabilitates race horses for Saratoga (Joe Torre actually kept his horse there a little whle ago) . The barn that the music will be in is the \'Stallion Barn\' where they used to breed horses... hence the padding all along the walls..im sure it will sound mint in there
