I am looking to talk up some people at the Phix show this Friday.
Hopefully, I will have flyers in time for the Jammys. I just got around to putting in a request for some.

I really think a great way for folks to discover the Breakfast is to read about the band in a newspaper. Millions of people could read about them if enough newspapers gave them coverage. If the writers are enthusiastic enough and envision a promising future for the band, it will surely intrigue plenty of curious readers.

I am planning on writing to all the music columnists in Bay Area newspapers in the hopes that my Breakfast pitch will pay off in the form of a well-deserved column profiling the band.

While looking through some major newspapers in search of the names and email addresses of local columnists, I realized we could execute this plan with efficiency on a larger scale. Many of us live in metropolitan areas with large populations (NY, Boston, Chicago, D.C., L.A., S.D. etc) and plenty of well-read newspapers. Perhaps we could come up with a template or standard letter that presents the band and our reasoning for its bright future/potential for a major following. The next step is to send it off via email to the papers and hope that they get coverage. If we use a single letter, it shouldn\'t take much time to find the contact of info of local writers and send out the standardized emails.

Just get all of those writers on TT05 and they would def write about whoever you wanted them to. Or better yet we could have the after party at said writers house and after about an hour when the dude was lit we could write it ourselves and get him to sign off on it...get the guy some METH, brah.
