Well for all of you that maybe avoiding Vibes for whatever reasons... Tim is playing @ the Crossraods Cantina in Waterbury on the Friday night of Vibes for my 30th b-day party around 9ish. Some of you know about this already, those of you that don\'t...if you\'re looking for something else to do other than the Vibes, come on up/down where ever you maybe coming from. Should be a good night, even in the Dirty Water... Support the breakfast that way!

The Vibes promoter said forcefully that the Breakfast did not take the steps to get on the bill.

what the **** does that mean? Im pretty sure we\'v
tried every way imaginable to get on that fest.
I felt a bit insulted seeing their flyers at toads. what else do we need
to do to get on the bill??
If someone out there has the answer please respond.

sorry just gets me angry!!

What did the band do to get on the festival this year?

Also, what was the response the festival gave you as to why you weren\'t on?

Now\'s the time to put the wheels in motion for NEXT year. By Sunday of this year\'s fest, the people running it are going to be accessing how it went and thinking about the next one. It would be a good time to find out what the procedure is to get on the bill.

Who do you call? When do you call? Is there anyway the Breakfast can be of assistance promoting the festival locally? What can WE do to help YOU? This attitude will go a long way.

And don\'t even bother mentioning any hard feeling about this year. It\'s a road to no where.

next year will be my first year going to the vibes and I would REALLY love to see the Breakfast there. What do we have to do to "get on the bill"? Is it just that there wasent enough promotion for the band? but they do deff deserve to play at the vibes because they are more then good enough and many many many people would enjoy them!

Looks like there are going to be some wet folks tonight. That\'s too bad.

Good questions!

What would it take to get The Breakfast on the bill? What do *we* need to do to help make it happen?

DAMN. I was the 9th caller this past Saturday and got Friday and Saturday, which is the day I wanted to go. That said, I managed to get Saturday off of work so I\'ll be there tomorrow and then again Saturday!

Dear breakfast manager-
http://gatheringofthevibes.com/2009/band+submit
start here brah, b/c most of the bands on the green vibes schedule I never heard of.
You see mr. manager it\'s a sad weekend in CT for music lovers that the breakfast is not melting faces in Bridgeport.
Signed,
anonymous

hows that for a start you honkies?

I\'ve seen the headliners in the past, and they are not even close to Bfast meltage. Kellar is the prize horse- others are basically meh, good for background music.

I agree that TB should be on the bill, but how can you say that Keller is the best act of the show with such acts as: DSO, The Machine, Clinton & P-Funk, DBB, moe, Guster, Levon Helm, Ratdog, Grace Potter, Buddy Guy, CSN.

I\'ll be honest, I never heard of anyone on the green stage, but there\'s some decent bands playing the main stage. It\'s too bad that TB isn\'t on this bill, it\'d be good exposure; well, at least they\'re second bill for Cabinfest...
