as long as I can see breakfast shows for free along with free beer at venues then that is payment enough for me.
-
anyone that is willing to not get paid lol

IMO, the Road Manager needs to be a person who is not afraid to be a dick... to people who try to take advantage or don\'t fulfill their obligations and also to the band... he needs to crack the whip on whoever when required.
-
How important is the role of road manager for a band the size of The Breakfast? Seriously? Do they even do the logistical analysis of the tour to run the cheapest, most efficient tour, or do they merely collect the check from the venues and tell the band when to take a pee break on the interstates?
Please note that I stressed road manager, as it\'s a different gig than the critical role of manager.

Thank the Lord for your little girl !
You in the van is the LAST thing they need. SER!!!!!

Bring back Kroop.. Seems like things ran a lot smoother back in the day.

Cobb, you\'ve never met me in person so you can\'t judge. My online persona is world\'s apart from who I am in person.
Dave is right on the +5 years notion...

I believe Trey is busy writing new material.
You want a tour manager to be reliable. A businessman first, friend second. It needs to be someone who has the ability to get things done and done when they need it. You need to be able to deal with difficult situations. Too much in this business and show business, you have everyone who is a "friend" trying to help out, however more often than not, they are just along for the ride. You need someone to tell you when you are wrong and not tell you what you want to hear.
IMO.

my personality is my one redeeming quality.

including jordan?

not that i\'m taking this thread seriously, but IMO, if the band were to get a tour manager, said manager needs to be at least 5 years older than everyone in the van.

Leith, I\'m sensitive when it comes to this board, not in real life though. I can\'t appropiately express myself on here so I get frusterated, but in person I\'m an animal, trust me, my personality is my one redeeming quality.
-
i dont think any one on this board should be the manager.
no offense.
I was thinking the same thing.
:that:
not being rude, but I don\'t think a fan should be a manager. You need someone who can give and take **** from anyone. When I was at meadows I had to deal with the merch guys for all the bands and I could tell within seconds how much I could rake them over the coals to my advantage. Not being mean, I was just covering my own ass. The road is a eat or be eaten kind of place, and the bands that have fan managers are very easy to take advantage of.

my parents have just spent 120k on my education and i am lacking a job.......do i qualify?

troy mcleaur?

you may also remember him from mayfly at rev hall....

Spunk, I think i met you @ moe. down, and you jumped on the back of the security guys golf cart and proceeded to bounce up and down on it while they were screaming at you...personally i think thats the kind of initiative the band needs. ;)
If that wasnt you...then i dont think you make the cut. :)
-
this thread started as funny, but ha! it\'s turning ridiculous fast. did i see Rujah vote himself? no offense bro, but your posts are in some sort of rujah-code most of the time. refer to Colbert in the finale of Curb Your Enthusiasm Season 4.

you guys dont all know me, but I\'d make a ser road manager

How would the road eat me alive? You don\'t know **** Leith...
The 7 other guys in the van would have you in tears before the van hit the stateline. Has nothing to do with the road but everything to do with your sensitivity to ball busting and not being listened to.
-
i vote myself, genecs, wah, spacey or fitz, but some of those guys might already have positions...

what does moe. have to do w/ anything?
actually i\'d think that would be a plus seeing as i have connections w/ larger bands in the scene, but i guess that doesn\'t matter.
lol nothing but a way to bust yo balls
As for having connections w/ larger bands I have no comment. I have no idea who you know or think you know but if you do know anyone you should be using those contacts for the guys even if you are not a manager. It behooves you as a fan to do so.

I would love to be their road manager..... I learned a little bit from Kroop back in the day, plus let\'s face it, I say what I feel is best for the band. That\'s what they need, a voice of reason...
You would be eaten alive within 24 hours on the road.
