I tried downloading the Cafe 9 show up until the point when my computer told me this process would take 75 hours to complete.
I guess no new Breakfast for me.

Someone asked about this recently. Difficult question to answer for an old school fan as we\'ve all got our fave tracks. Did some trawling through the forums and found the thread where it was discussed:

This of course only goes up to April and misses the August Cafe 9 run - 1st night is a killer!

Can anyone recommend some good shows to download from the LMA?? I want the best breakfast shows that I don\'t currently have. How does it work? Download to my computer then burn to disk?
I don\'t know much about this stuff.

LMA?????

My 1st show there was maybe 15- 20 people. I was def. not the person yelling abt a song sucking in fact i was pretty much speechless and @ setbreak after getting my head together I hung out w/ Tim and Jordan partaking of some herbal medicinal product. 2nd set was insane for me to say the least.
Well the last time they were @ Winston\'s I would say the house was packed and it holds 250 "legally". I can take some credit for this as I am very enthusiastic abt this band and have been very active in promoting them from flyering when they come out to distributing discs. I also pretty much jack any stereo I am near and put in PB. The Breakfast is making headway out here and people no longer look @ me strange when I mention them, now it\'s "oh yeah I\'ve heard of them, crazy good guitar player right?" or something along those lines.
The last April show @ 14 Below was the best show they have had in LA according to Tim and I must say it did fuckin\' rock. I believe Wayne has put it up on LMA. The Breakfast gets radio play alot in LA from Barry Smolin on his show.
The Breakfast skipped this yrs. High Sierra I believe due to Ron\'s wedding.
Charles is still a part of the Oxnard crew that looks after the guys when they are in LA .
Yeah that Baja Bash set is pretty amazing. I am glad I am not the only one that is blown away by it.

Yes I would consider getting a room with Leith but feel as though my questions may be of interest to others on the forum.
I listened to your Winston\'s show from July 2003 tonight. What was the crowd like at your first PB show? You better not have been the one yelling about a song sucking. Sounded like there weren\'t too many people at Winston\'s.
I am still awestruck by the Breakfast\'s performance at the Baja Bash and have been driving to my bus stop each morning (takes me into Boston) blasting Baja Bash at 6am. Amazing renditions include: Doughboy, Wake Up in a Coma, Vermont Song, Escher\'s, Inner Glimpse, Fairy, Sir Psycho, Mayfly etc. etc. I urge all the hear that show.
What is the state of the Breakfast in CA and are there many others that are as impressed as you are Leith? You must have some friends that you\'ve served the Breakfast on to.
Did you ever catch the 100 Below shows in Santa Monica? I heard Wolfman saying that the first appearance there in 2002 was off-da-hook with a huge crowd of first-timers jamming. Anyone remember Wolf\'s 17 page review of his spring 2002 tour with PB? I read that thing for an hour. Great review!!!
Does anyone remember PB getting some airtime on the radio in L.A. too?
Whatever happened to that guy Charles Gonzalez from CA. I think I sent some tapes to that guy a couple years ago because he was a major fan after catching a show out there.
Did The Breakfast play up at High Sierra again?

not yet,but its a great idea!

My 1st Dead show was april \'85 I was 14 . I went to my 3rd show on my 15th birthday that yr. and it was over from then on. :) :)
-
When did you start watching Dead shows?
-
Henry J. Kaiser Aud. and then when they got Big the Coliseum
-
Where did the Dead play in Oakland? Coliseum?
-
Oh Sweet. Well what\'s your Deal ? get out here. You know ya wanta. Oaktown is stomping grounds from back in the day seeing Grateful Dead shows. Many nights spent trippin\' in those hills. :)
-
Oh don\'t worry about me getting acquainted up there. My dad grew up in Oakland so I spent every summer of my life on the East Bay (S.F. side too) visiting the grandparents. I may even know S.F. better than Boston because there are so many great places + neighborhoods to take walking tours through.
I will most likely be there in a few months if I do in fact pack my bags.
Hopefully there will be some kind of show in the area (I\'m sure there is something most nights that would be of interest to a couple Breakfast fans) if you do want to make the trek. I actually hung out with a guy I had never met before last weekend. Talked to Greg (Izgiabeher on the PBfans site) then arranged to hit a PB show together. Picked him up and went to RI for the Wheelhouse show. I guess that\'s just what happens in the PB family. I usually end up meeting people for the first time then realize that they aren\'t strangers because of all the info provided in the forums.

The City is awesome. If it wasn\'t for the rain and ridiculous cost of living I would have moved there years ago. There are some great trails for both running and biking in Golden Gate and surounding areas. Let me know when you expect to be settled up there, it\'s only a 7-8 hour drive and I\'ve done it sooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo many times. I would love an excuse to get up there.
-
I am a finance guy sdo I don;\'t have much choice but to live within a short distance of S.F.
Most of my exercise is running, biking or b-ball so I would definitely have to load up on the sunscreen.
Maybe I will see you sooner than later at the West Coast shows??
May even convince me to check out Tea Leaf Green too.

It\'s a tough decision, especially since CA is not exactly like moving to another New England state and still being to drive home in a few hours. Cali is tough because of all the extremes:
Goods - opportunities, fun people, culture, always being at the forefront of some new trend, fashion boutiques and food choices, weather, dramatic topography, fitness.
Bads - higher crime in the cities than Mass. cities, scarcity of resources and cheap properties, overcrowding, weather (the weather falls at both end of the spectrum due to floods/mudslides, fires, droughts, UV rays), having to exercise in L.A. with a surgical mask because of the air quality.
Your bads are misleading. Depends on which city you are in to compare crime. Cheap property can still be found u just gotta live 2-3 hrs away from anything, Weather is always good. You want seasonal changes go up to North Cali. Floods/ mudslides very rare actually, fires (well lots of things burn). Drought you just deal w/ no real inconvenience. UV rays sunblock and shade. Exercise in L.A. always takes place indoors in AC. Once the AC no longer helps workout over! I am biased but if you got a chance to bail the east coast and come out West DO IT!!!

Aww geez Al you just came back and now you\'re leaving already!
-
For Sure. I hear tell those"can\'t misses" are pretty interesting.
-
If I do move, I\'ll have to find a high-paying job so I can fly East periodically for the "can\'t misses".

Dude it is famine out here. Usually a few shows in a week in April. Fest time (Summer) and then October is the other week of shows but I do not see that so far this year. Wondering when Best Coast dates will be booked. Lucky to get 5-6 servings a year out here. :( Lucky for me I have this place and friends to B&P me new servings as needed.
-
I hate to break this to you all but I may be relocating to the West in the coming months.
How many Breakfast runs make it out to Cali each year? I know that Baja Bash/High Sierra = a July tour. I think they sometimes get there in the spring as well.
Anyone have any statistics for me??
Leith?
I\'m starting to feel deprived and I\'m not even certain I\'m leaving yet.
