As good as the band played at Porter\'s, nobody ever went there except the same 75 people every single time.  It was a nice quick easy buck for the band, but fanbase wise it was useless.  Next!

What happened?  Did Porter\'s close?

NEWS FLASH: One month after closing its doors forever, Porter\'s is closing its doors forever.

Maybe they read my post about visiting New England in late Dec. and wanted the show to coincide with my trip.

i agree...this **** sucks. i\'m goign to be up from weds thru sun for thanksgiving with the fam and was really looking forward to the show. but i guess if porters has completely changed into a dinky family restaurant than it\'s a good that the show is not happening there...however, i still wish there was a breakfast show going on elsewhere. last year\'s thanksgiving shows that i attended-knitting factory/sully\'s were incredible.

I couldn\'t make the "last" ever show at Porter\'s, as my Mom was in the hospital.  I wish I could make this one, but Whineberg did not know 30 days in advance, which he would need to request the night off.  Oh well, I guess I\'ll get to this venue later, rather then sooner, but at least I will check it out sometime, as I have heard so much about it.

I knew that it was going to change hands and the band was supposedly not going to play there again as a full band.. What I did not know until "the closing night" was that the new owner was going to keep the name and continue to book bands in the same fashion as the previous owners. From the new owners "scout", I was told the new owner owns many Connecticut bars and clubs and has tons of money. I certainly hope she does, because the previous owners had a hell of a financial backing and still went bankrupt. She was supposed to keep almost all of the same employees, just don\'t expect the place to be as cool and heady as the "old" place. Hopefully I will be proved wrong!!! We shall see....

i\'m not upset either. just sayin\' - "there\'s been a change of plans"...

so whats the deal with the new owners? anybody know? i suppose since the breakfast has agreed to play again, they must not be so bad...

The band may have been mislead, I don\'t know.  Someone at Porter\'s definitely had to tell The Breakfast that 9/30/05 was going to be the "last show."  The band could not have just conjured this up on their own.  That somebody surely also knew that the venue was not actually closing.  Whether or not the band knew that the venue was not actually closing, I don\'t know.  But I\'ll give them the benefit of the doubt and say that they didn\'t.  Either way, I consider this a cheap, unethical, and misleading tactic on Porter\'s part to get people to come to the show.  Especially considering that of all people who ever went there, they chose US to pull this B.S. on.    

That being said, I\'m not upset the the band is playing there again.  It\'s a good venue.

Post by: Wolfman on October 31, 2005, 07:28:41 pm
Gee, good thing I devoted 2 Digest covers to the closing of a venue that opened the day after it "closed".  I\'m sorry, but that\'s really cheap marketing on Porter\'s part.  It\'s the same thing as the Kiss farewell tour.  They both sell themselves on the false pretense of this being the last chance to get the product.  And the people they suckered more than anyone else were us Breakfast fans, since they had the Breakfast play the "last night".  Somebody at Porter\'s with knowledge that the bar was not actually closing had to sit there and say, "Hey, let\'s tell all the Breakfast fans that the bar is closing so that they all come to this show."  In the words of Awesome-O 4000: LAME! :cartman:

Although it\'s cool that the band is playing there again, I guess.
