about those blue X\'s. i gotta say that, that was my fault. my friends and i showed up at the show thinking it was 18+ but when we got there, the big guy at the door told us it was actually 21+. after we gave the guy the sob story about how we drove 1.5 hrs they started putting X\'s on everyones hands so we could go in underage. sorry about the marker-hands

no its quite alright. i\'m sure everyone can suck it up for a night. that change probably got at least an extra dozen or so heads in, so whatever. if there are under 21 individuals who would benefit from being at the show, then i am certainly not one to deny them access.

I had the opportunity to see the Breakfast play at many bars in 1999/2000 as a 19/20 year old and would have missed out on a lot if there were 21+ mandates.

the X\'s actually ended up being a great idea.. i was able to rake in $60 by giving all the underage kids the ability to drink with the whiteboard markers i had in my truck! :thumbsup:

KIDDING!

Finally gonna toss my .02 in. Great night, interesting room to say the least. I felt I was lost when I got off Rt. 146, the place is in the middle of a suburban neighborhood, still trying to figure out how in the hell they manage to hold shows there without getting complaints from the neighbors. $3.50 guinness drafts was also an added bonus, was not expecting that and ended up having a few more than I planned on, which also turned into me failing to realize I shouldn\'t have been jumping around like normal for most of the night starting somewhere during Puppetry or WPOAC, can\'t really recall when. Nice meeting some new faces, don\'t ask who I met, I\'m terrible with names. As for the music, I can\'t say much, I\'m still left speechless, as were the three people I brought, been to a couple shows here and there, but now I got them hooked, finally, I think. Was an interesting car ride home, I dont think I talked at all, just listened to the three of them in awe. Great night, great people, see ya next time (knowing me, a few months down the road )

yeah thats real similiar to what the guy did to us. they stopped us as we were driving out of the parking lot and said they would let us in after all. he put the same heavy pressure too, said that if we asked for a drink we\'d be "leaving in cuffs" pretty brutal.
