That sucks... I was planning a nice three day road trip up to San Francisco Friday then over to Nevada Saturday then drive back to OC on Sunday. I guess it will be just Nevada. (Besides the two local shows SD & LA)

Hmm, looks like you\'ll be getting your 4-day run (lucky guy!).
It\'ll actually be 5 days for me. There\'s a Cubensis show Tuesday night, then Breakfast Wedneday -> Satursday.

Thanks for the heads up guys. Spent some time at the loop, hopefully will be getting a job at Vintage Sinyl. This town **** rocks...
-
for reference, cicero\'s is across from blueberry hill, on the other end of the block (same side of street) as riddle\'s...

Joe, check out Cicero\'s. I had a life-changing beer there during a Breakfast show (http://www.thebreakfast.info/modules.php?name=Reviews&file=viewarticle&id=82#c2p2). Too bad the life changing experience of the night had nothing to do with the Breakfast show itself!

joe~ check out riddle\'s penultimate wine bar & cafe in the loop. its across the street (basically) from the tivoli. i loved that place when i was out there. still have a pint glass from my last night in st louis. they even bought a bottle of black label bushmills for my parting gift. there\'s another place i really liked, but it wasn\'t in the loop, it was in the more arty section (who\'s name i\'m spacing). it was a house-like structure with a wild paint job and a huge, great patio out back. across the street from a straight up biker bar, if i remember correctly... also, if you ever head south to festus/crystal city, there\'s a great burger place at the stoplight. might even be called stoplight burgers...

Typing from my new living room. Loving it! 70 degrees and sunny today. Spent yesterday at the free Zoo...Living the dream. Just hoping the Breakfast offers a truce to this incredible city.
Sounds like your first experience down there is much better than the one had by Clark Griswold.

Please come to St. Louis.. I need my Breakfast fix.
Did you end up moving out there?

Santa Cruz show just added:
Friday, April 11th
The Crepe Place
Santa Cruz, CA
Awesome! This place is right across from the Rio Theater and has the best damn crepes EVER! Not fancy shmansy dessert crepes but huge dinner crepes.
The guys will be playing in the back on a little stage that I was told while there last time was a great place to check out music when it got warmer.
This is a very small place but the show should be huge!

"West Coast Breakfast is awe inspiring ****!"
The West Coast itself is awe-inspiring. I just spent 11 days in the Bay Area, 3 days in Big Sur. Did a difficult 10-mile hike up in the Ventana Wilderness and I\'m pretty sure I had a religious experience.
To have all that, PLUS the Breakfast? I can\'t even imagine. I think my head might explode.
-
Cool :)
-
oh...i\'m not.....just annoyed/crabby. never lasts that long.
-
Well, in all fairness, from the situation I heard from the guys about St Louis...I wouldn\'t have stayed either. I really want to do some West Coast Breakfast at one point.
when the dead had to cancel a show in europe and literally got chased out of town (leith...verify this for me) they came back to town and played for free for everyone in the town as a payback. i went to a show at new haven coliseum that was cancelled due to garcia being sick. the makeup show was phenominal. they didn\'t stay but.....THEY HAVN"T BEEN BACK!!!! you\'re kinda tall and theres usually a lot of noise up there so i wasn\'t sure if you could hear me ;). there were people there who planned, drove, got a sitter, pissed off their wife.......i personally thought of visiting family and using that show as a catalyst. i also know that mark seriously considered a trip. oh yeah ....and me too on the west coast breakfast thing.....big time.....thought about planning a trip....glad i didn\'t. btw....leith...thought the comment about my friend was out of line. not malicious i understand but it\'s me that has the issue, not them. they just have kids and jobs and lives (oh yeah and one of those licenses you can get out there ;) )
Yeah that was in Lille France 1972.
As for your friends sorry if you thought it was out of line but if it were moe. they would have no problem gettin\' a sitter right? How hard is it to cancel a sitter if a show falls through?
This band still needs the dedication from us that we have given for the past 10 years. Actually now more than ever before. To read you giving up even recommending them over something as petty as show scheduling boggles my mind.

Keeping my fingers crossed that the next tour will be a comprehensive tour of the whole coast, hitting all the stops from Canada to Mexico.

i guess dave said it wasnt worth it with the schedule around this time on the west coast. i have a friend in SF who was gonna attend this show too. ill tell him to go to the crystal bay show the next night.
Yeah it\'s not that ez. Crystal Bay is quite a jaunt from S.F. for one show. Hopefully he likes them as much as we do.
i guess dave said it wasnt worth it with the schedule around this time on the west coast.
wow. i definitely never said such a thing, but rumor is santa cruz for this night. hope it\'s true and crescendo gets their **** act together.
Moe\'s Alley please!!!!!!!
Looks like Moe\'s is booked already. The Catalyst is too big. Hmmm
Bummer.
you know.....two things i think i\'m done with
a: thinking about travelling any distance to see the breakfast. too much uncertainty. anyone remember st louis?
b: trying to convince my friends around the country to go see the breakfast. too much uncertainty. san fran is a perfect case in point.
oh....i\'ll still be at toads and BAR on wednesdays when i can. i\'ll still drive a bit when the spirit moves me...but it\'s getting to be a bit like recommending someone for a job and they cain\'t show up on time.
a. Don\'t think about it then and just do it. Life is full of uncertainty and it\'s not the band\'s fault dates are screwy. The L.A. and S.D. dates were messed up but not enough to really cause a problem and it was figured out in plenty of time.
b. your friends sound like they need a swift kick.... A few listens of the music should be enough for them to be more interested but I totally understand the situation as I have gotten past the same thing and now don\'t care if people are annoyed I push The Breakfast so much.

but it\'s getting to be a bit like recommending someone for a job and they cain\'t show up on time.
So you aren\'t going to recommend shows you won\'t be at yourself?
not at all.....just going to avoid the drunken cross country on st. patrick day hey you gotta go see my boys and oh can you hook them up for me and please please please tell your friends and....oh....never mind....thanks anyway phone calls. that\'s what i\'m saying. oh....and i\'m glad i didn\'t BUY A **** PLANE TICKET!!!!!!!
in all fairness, there never was a solid san fran show booked. i had that up as a placeholder (which i mentioned in the thread) because it was looking like it was going to happen, but it didn\'t.
i\'m not posting shows anymore until they show up on crescendo.
and this i didn\'t know.....just remembered the date.

Nothing is too big for The Breakfast.
I saw some irish folk band at a bar type place in Aptos a few years ago...

Yes, they are flying out. Sucks that they can\'t do a Friday show, but...
The only but is that they have a day off to rest up before raging the F out of a sick stage in Tahoe.
Wayne, I look forward to seeing you again!

I also heard they are flying out and won\'t be in the van. Either way, a shame to come out here and miss playing SF on a Friday night.
-
Would have been nice to have them move the SF date to Fri. night, but guess that couldn\'t happen. $$ talks...
