doozie = reference to the duesenberg luxury cars of the early 20th century (originally duesy),
meaning something grand and luxurious

I was also trippen balls, and there was a giant inflatable obstacle course
woooo! I always wanted to be a gerbil!

let the tapes show and the listeners determine for themselves if it was a dooz or not
I\'m pretty sure that would leave most of us thinking the breakfast keep playing sold-out shows.
i\'ve seen some doozies, and they have been very interesting to say the least. Over a year ago the band played at the "sons of leo harvest festival for hurricane katrina" at **** 11 in the morning. Needless to say there were not many people there, really just me and my buddies, the people running the festie, and whichever peoples came down with the band.
That being said, they absolutely blew my mind by noon. And I have never had a band blow my mind that early in the day.

2/11/05 - The Loft, Poughkeepsie, NY = textbook dooze. maybe 10 people. wah, me!, 3 of my friends and i, blackieshamps and a couple friends of his.
we took four cars to that show, so there had to be more than a couple friends of mine. not my fault poughkeepsies too disgusting for normal, decent people to go to.

I think people join dot info after already seeing the band and digging them. So I think they already have their opinion of the band and won\'t be skewed too much by reading these doozie posts.
-
Yeah, let\'s turn back the clock several hundred years and spend most of the daylight hours hunting/gathering/farming food!
Right on!
Leith don\'t worry about noobs seeing how we always say a show is a doozie and thinking WTF is up with these guys they have no fans???
Remember the .info definition of doozie is ass-backwards, any noobs who see it will think the show was sold out!

i feel like a lot of people on the board like to know how big the crowd was.... ::

i feel like a lot of people on the board like to know how big the crowd was.... ::shrug::
because we always hope there were 100\'s of people there
ok from now on, no one says anything about the crowd size, let the tapes show and the listeners determine for themselves if it was a dooz or not

Yeah distance gives one a different perspective on things.
How about not describing doozies at all and only remark on the crowd was digging it. We all know The Breakfast do not draw but pounding it in every review may not be the best thing.
New people coming on the board that read doozie after doozie may not want to waste the time as many folk go out to party as much as listen to a band and a doozie is not the best place to get one\'s party on.
Just think about it w/o getting all uptight and you will see I am not being an ass(this time).

i disagree. if im going to a concert (any band) in \'party mode\' i doubt seeing a show that isn\'t filled to capacity is going to affect that. im going there to see live music and enjoy myself. ill have plenty of room to dance around and there will be little to no lines at the bar, meaning i can booz as hard as i want.
i am reminded of the rochester show from last november. i brought 5 first timers with me but that place was pretty empty. we all had a good time hanging out, taking shots, slamming beers and getting real close to the stage without losing the party aspect nor the concert aspect. the band played their asses off and even took a request (i\'m the slime) from the small crowd that had been so attentive all night. if people are going to see a show for the first time i think a smaller crowd would be more ideal. itll allow them to focus on the music more but will also allow them to roam the bar and take in the whole scene, not worry about some drunk next to you bumping elbows all night because its packed.
apparently you\'re in the minority with this mindset, hence the doozies.

I hear ya leith....
I am a bit jumpy as I am bound to a desk and computer right now.....
Working a temp job at my dad\'s office.....
enough work at a decient wage, but its starting to drive me bonkers.....
No worries man. We are not meant to be on this earth trapped in cubicles made by Man when we are all trapped in our own cubicles called our minds so I can get the jumpiness.
Sometimes I post really to get answers and hopefully the person answering was made to think about my question in a way I had not and can lend more light to a subject than I can muster.
Sometimes the question seems made to provoke anger when it is just meant to provoke thought.

It seems to me on a fansite for this band that it can be assumed the guys raged it and I would think that the opposite would be more worthy of noting.
ok, so let me get this straight, on the fansite we should only talk about the negative aspect of what went down?
Edit: that was before i read your last post leith

Thank you captain obvious........ I mean we really needed you to point out that there was low attendance at the show and other breakfast doozies..... And part of the fact that we have a new manager and we are currently in the process of devising a new grassroots structure, is to stop the doozies.......but thanks again for pointing that out to us.....You are on point from even 3000 miles away......

My take is that "but the people there were getting down" is an attempt to stay optimistic. And it\'s not a bad sign completely. At least, not as bad as the occasions when the entire crowd is listed by first name on the forum the next day.
Thank You Drew for being the only one to attempt to answer my question.
Yeah that is what i was thinking also. It just seems like it can be construed as trying to "cover" for the poor attendence and has become somewhat habit in show reviews.
As in no one showed up but it was not The Breakfast\'s fault, they played their asses off even with no one there.
Well isn\'t that what a band paid to play does if they are even close to being professional?
It seems to me on a fansite for this band that it can be assumed the guys raged it and I would think that the opposite would be more worthy of noting.
It also seems to me that in keeping up with this type of thinking "doozies are OK as long as the people there are rocking" only lends to the perception that this is a bar band not a Touring National Act.
what are you wondering?
Can\'t read?

i also watched a police pursuit outside the club in which the car being pursued crashed into another cop car and a cop smashed the dude\'s driver side window with his gun and dragged the guy out of the car.
oh and i received several offers for crack that night.
-
Leith, your post makes no sense to me....
I dont understand where you are coming from or what point you are trying to make.....
Breakfast doozies are described the same way, because they usually go down the same way....are you trying to say anything pertinant or just trying to make me look/sound stupid?
However the Paugkeepsie doozie was probably the toughest breakfast dooize I have ever seen. The room was filled with smoke that stunk of hamburger grease and dirty frying oil....
The harrisburg doozie was only less tough because Gabe was rockin harder than the entire room was, and that was just great to see........
-
oh yeah..that place was great. they searched my purse twice and followed me into the bathroom. there was a 24-hour barber shop across the street. really awesome!~!!!!
-
ahh yes, i knew i was forgetting a bunch

2/11/05 - The Loft, Poughkeepsie, NY = textbook dooze. maybe 10 people. wah, me!, 3 of my friends and i, blackieshamps and a couple friends of his.
...me, lisa, mike, stevie, lisa trey, holly.....

^^^yah jim, but we got a Sundance>Bugs>Sundance.....
as stated earlier, the band still plays as if the room were packed, which is part of the reasons I have found so much respect for these folks..

I\'ve seen the band & fans call many shows a dooze, but I think the word itself is just overused. Sure, they might not draw a huge crowd at every show, but if there are 30-40 NEW heads in the crowd, it shouldn\'t qualify as a dooze. IMO, even a show with only 20 people shouldn\'t be a dooze. Hopefully, each of those people will like it & tell a few friends. :shrug:
-
i always have a great time at Breakfast shows but it\'s the crowd that makes or breaks a doozie. i\'ve seen the guys fired up and not so fired up before a show but they never fail to deliver in either instance.
-
Just wondering.
what are you wondering?
-
all i have to say is that the first bfast show i went to was not what you would consider a doozie and i thought the band rocked and all, but the second one i went to months later, was a def dooze. but a big reason why i was soo impressed by the band was the fact that they played with ten times the emotion, feeling, and soul than the first show i went to with less than half the heads there. That was what sold me on this band, that they evoked the same feelings I had felt from seeing a show played to 30,000 people being played to 30. I think its a special thing to see a dooze, though they obv deserve much better.

My take is that "but the people there were getting down" is an attempt to stay optimistic. And it\'s not a bad sign completely. At least, not as bad as the occasions when the entire crowd is listed by first name on the forum the next day.

Pretty much anytime someone reports on a Breakfast show that is a doozie( low turnout),it is always followed by " but the people that were there were getting down".
Well no **** sherlock, it\'s a Breakfast show.
No one is going to stay at a Breakfast show and not be into it. The Breakfast are too obnoxious (ie very loud) for that. One either likes it and gets down or one does not and leaves.
It is the rare person that can just sit and watch this band(w/o being zonked on mass headies) much less a rarer room where more than a couple people are doing that.
Just wondering.
