I remember seeing you there last time Mark.

Everyone should go, these Noho shows are usually pretty good.

I\'m going to be busting my butt to get there. Hopefully my friend in Amherst will let me sleep on his floor.

Maybe those who are planning on attending could meet somewhere in the area for food prior to the show?

Anyone know if there is an opening band?

My only gripe with the Iron Horse is their inability to keep the shows on schedule. This usually results in Breakfast fans waiting outside in the cold till 10:30pm when the show is advertised to start at 10pm. This has happened for every show on my personal record.

Hopefully there will be a hotel room with my name on it, which sounds like a perfect meet-n-greet before the show...are there any hotels in walking distance?

??

NOHO Brewery is in walking distance, good brew, good food, will have to research the hotel situation.

Hi Steve (Mark and all others included),

Northampton may not be the best place to stay. There is a 5 star hotel right downtown near the show but no budget motels. You may want to check out the town of Hadley right down the street. They have an Econo Lodge, Holiday Inn, Howard Johnson etc. The cheapest lodging would most likely be near the Springfield/Holyoke area though it is 15-20 minutes from Noho.

I will most likely be driving to the show after work in Boston. If the PB crew goes out for dinner, I could pick you up at your motel and could provide you with some safe transportation to the show. If you stay in the Holyoke area, this wouldn\'t be an option. If you stay down in Holyoke, you could get a ride from a CT fan to the motel because most of the places are right near I-91.

Let me know if you need more info.

well, it wouldn\'t be a MA show without hitting The Hangar in Amherst for the best wings on earth beforehand.. that\'s definitely where i\'ll be..

anyone else?

(i have room for 5 southern CT people if anyone needs a ride)

Woohoo!!

The Breakfast is listed solo for the Iron Horse lineup. Could this mean a few hours of good music?

I would love to meet up at the Hangar prior to the show, though it should be pretty crowded in there on a Friday. I won\'t be able to get there till 8pm because I\'m leaving Boston at 5:30pm and will be heading out on the Pike which can be a mess. Fill me in on the plans as they develop. I am making a guy buy me some advanced tickets for the show in case it\'s a big seller. I basically told him he could have a free one and check out the Breakfast in exchange for him going into town to pick up the tickets.

I\'m excited to see you all again.

Let\'s begin to discuss the plans to meet at Wings before the show. I won\'t be there till 8 or 8:30pm. What time does everyone plan on arriving in the Valley?

skalnbyc · « **Reply #27 on:** October 21, 2004, 10:05:55 pm »

It looks like I will be able to meet everyone at Wings whenever at this point. To summarize things, I was attacked/jumped/carjacked in New Bedford, MA and now I need to get a new ID, credit card, checking account etc. because I lost all the important stuff I had on me. At least I will most likely get a free day off from work. I didn\'t die or lose my car because a cop happened to drive by while I was being strangled on the ground by a bunch of thugs.

I really do think the situation would have turned out differently (for the worse) if I didn\'t get saved by a passing cruiser.

I do hope to see you all tomorrow at Wings and the Iron Horse. I will enjoy the company of the Breakfast family and some pumping music.

Dude that SUX!!!! So the cop didn\'t go after them? WTF?

skalnbyc · « **Reply #29 on:** October 21, 2004, 10:40:44 pm »

The sight of the cop car sent them running away. I called 911 from a store across the street and the cop said he didn\'t even notice that I was being attacked on the ground under very bright lights. I am lucky though. They could have killed me for seeing their faces. Luckily they were cut short.

ahhhh
