Haven\'t heard anything from the Breakfast, which at this point makes Block Island 2010 unlikely. I\'m willing to bet all or most weekends have already been booked for the summer. I guess there could be an outside chance of pulling down a weekday gig, but unlikely.
I\'m planning on heading out there with some friends for June 4th-6th. Indobox is headlining Capt. Nick\'s Fri and Sat night. It is in the off-season too so rates are a little less expensive taboot!

Any chance for 2010?
I would definitely come out for another stay on the island!

Hah... that freakin\' Gypsy taint... no, no, no... seriously, he\'s good **** no matter what the police in several states & Canada may say. Huh, Canada... anybody heard from them in a while? What ever happened to them? They don\'t call, they don\'t write... that really grinds my gears!

dave is a ser old school connection member. it would be a disservice to him to group him in w/ any taint or gypsy ensemble.
Second that motion.

ooo, about that.
guys, we have a maximum 10 taint/gypsy limit on the board and we need to keep them balanced on a maximum 5:5 ratio. So if this dave guy starts posting, peaches you\'re going to have to go on a year long hiatus or switch allegiances.
i think you\'re confused.

Thanks... that\'s my custom pickguard on my modified, beaten, beaten again, then modified Epi Les Paul, she\'s a good trustworthy guitar. Got a bunch of free Wenge (crazy stuff) so I threw it together. Laminated with monogomy... sorry, mahogany on the back so it wouldn\'t warp.

well there goes planning your party..... alright everyone. Zappa will let us know when he can go and we\'ll plan around that.
:thumbsup: :lol: Well, if I\'m one of the people suggesting we do it and trying to make it happen, I\'d like to do it at a time I could actually go. I know, I know, completely self centered. How dare I. :biggrin:

very true, but I\'m sure there will be some less croweded/less expensive weekends than the 4th. Also holidays are virtually impossible for me to get off from work.

oh and it\'s only money. i\'d rent out a house but i fear it would end up like a hotel party and i\'d end up having to buying it

There are never any "cheap" room on Block Island.
I, first hand, saw Slimpickens and the chick at Del\'s verbally argue over a sandwich the last morning because it was $10. Convinced it was the topper that put it over the top

you know, the one time I did this was so much fun that even if they don\'t get gigs, a bunch of us should just sync up our time off and go for a couple of days.
Also, tim should come, and bring his guitar.
and the rest of the band in tow.

Never been to BI. Would be awesome to get there this year, with puppy in tow perhaps. She has webbed toes and tries to crawl into her water bowl- I think she\'s going to be a swimmer.
my girl and i have 2 dogs and we plan to bring them. there are a couple rentals that allow dogs.

It could be epic.
Crazy things happen on that island.
Would seriously need to consider getting a house for a week or whatever just to contain the madness.

I would love for them to get up there for the Block Island music festival. I believe that is early July-ish? I can almost guarantee that the Indobox will be there too. I would take back to back nights of Indobox and Breakfast combined with a fun weekend on the Block

2005...2007...looks like it\'s time to do another run on the island. Open up on June 24th and 25th (Wed-Thu) then head over to the Wheelhouse again on the 26th (Fri). According to Jambase they\'re scheduled to play the Crash Mansion in NYC on the 27th (Sat) so that would be a good place to end the 4 night run. I remember last time they announced it in late February so hopefully the planning is already in the works. If it happens, you might want to bring your own mountain bikes.
