I had a great time at the Chicago show! It was my first Breakfast experience...glad they finally made it remotely close for this WI gal to make a show!
Did anyone catch the fight that broke out right before they started?? I was sitting at the bar for the first 2 bands (back by Chris\' merch table) and these girls started throwing punches and then their menfolk got into it...I got rammed into the bar and my drink went flying...as soon as they broke everything up, the show started and it was a great time. Guess there was energy in the air!!
The Breakfast fans I know (igziabeher and oldnewbie) have mentioned the lack of showing at some shows, and I don\'t get it either! Now the capacity sign at the Elbo did say ~108, so it is a pretty small place. When we paid at the door, they were asking which band you were there to see, and it seemed (from the marks on the page they were counting on) that there were quite a few there for the Breakfast.
The setlist in general was great, and everyone there had on their dancing shoes!!! i met some real nice people and we boogied the whole time. I was glad that I had a primer of a few shows on disc under my belt and radio.joe because I knew several of the songs. I actually got asked the name of and the lyrics to part of Sleeping Beauty by someone in the crowd...crazy!
I look forward to seeing these guys again...hopefully in their stomping grounds in August so I can get a real taste of the Breakfast world!
(oh yeah, and Chicago was pricey...I spent $90 on drinks (for 2) that night!! damn!)
