..last time i checked, i didn\'t see any pharmie slinging wookies running around grabbing girls titties at breakfast shows.
I\'m not a wookie, but I\'ll be @ the Newtown show slinging and grabbing. -

i got kicked out a couple of times, im just glad the two dudes that kept kicking me out didnt call the cops, it was a little game of cat and mouse all night

I can only imagine that the security for NYE will be much much worse.
Do you really think any of those clowns want to work on NYE? I know I wouldn\'t! -

This thread has gotten lame as ****. If you are doing something wrong and get kicked out then you deserved it, PERIOD. I include myself in this statement. Trust me I have been to the Webster close to 100 times and have NEVER been kicked out...and unfortunately do illegal stuff alot. If I got kicked out it would suck but I cannot and would not be naive enough to blame the security/venue.
And let\'s be realistic, no one is running around "grabbin\' titties" at the Biscuits...that is more stereo-typical anti-Biscuits BULLSHIT! I have been to 67 Biscuits shows and my girl has been to close to 30 and that has never happened to her or near me to anyone I know. -

Actually I think this is one of the better threads I\'ve seen in a long time. A lot of articulate and passionate posts. And props to everyone honest enough to say that this venue may alter their New Year\'s plans.
I think the bigger issue isn\'t whether or not the few people who got kicked out deserved it. Rather, the issue is how does the venue security make everyone in general feel, and how is the sound? Many people posting here were made to feel uncomfortable even though they weren\'t breaking any rules. That, to me, is a huge problem. The security at The Webster cruises around the entire show walking up next to everyone and looking them up and down to a nearly unprecendented extent. It\'s not fun. I\'m personally at sketch factor 0 these days, and I felt like I was being watched to make sure I was dancing properly. That\'s not fair and not fun. Security usually isn\'t on my mind at all since I don\'t do anything illegal, so for them to establish such a presence in my mind while all my focus was on the show means that they really must have been doing too much.
The sound is another thing altogether. It\'s a couple notches better than the Dying Room in Providence... which had the worst sound of all time. ChrisF is right that earplugs usually improve one\'s audio experience of the show, but not even earplugs can totally pull this place\'s sound out of the mud. Do you know why The Webster books almost exclusively **** and metal bands, with the occasional jamband sprinkled in? One reason has to be because no band with any intricacy in their sound would touch this place with a 10 foot pole. When it comes to cooking up sound Dobs is a gourmet chef, but you can\'t ask him to make filet mignon out of Spam.
The sound and the security at this venue are in the same boat; they are what they are and they will never be any better. We\'ve been going here long enough to know what we are signing up for.
I think the band is in a tough spot here. Availability, capacity, and proximity issues make The Webster a must-have room for a rock band coming out of Connecticut. The band knows that a lot of the fans aren\'t too keen on the place, but there just aren\'t any other rooms this size this close to New Haven besides Toad\'s, and they\'ve played Toad\'s 29 times so they\'re getting what they can out of that room. In a different way, the band kind of has to "suck it up" the same way we do.
In my own experience, the Webster overall hasn\'t been nearly bad enough to make me not want to go to a Breakfast show there. The Dying Room (that\'s what I call the Living Room in Providence) is the only venue that was ever bad enough to make me say "I won\'t see the Breakfast because of that venue." The Webster isn\'t nearly as bad as that place. I hope everyone will choose to deal with the Webster\'s flaws since the band kinda has to play there right now. -

im actually pretty close with a buncha the security guards,and they told me that the "hippie shows"are the worst because folks are usually drunk/beligerant,and just assume that smoking pot and openly doing drugs is the ok thing to do.keep in mind,what they take,they keep..

That is funny, the security, other than when I heard Gencs and Princess got kicked out, never came into my mind. I really think that alot of you almost look for the security or ALWAYS want to know where they are and dwell on it. Dude, I am loud, usually WASTED, and usually one of the tallest cats in the room...still have NEVER had a problem at the Webster. Is the security tough, yes. Is the sound the best, NO. Will I EVER not go to a Breakfast show because of the venue...not in your life, This band breaks their balls trying to make it while trying to have everyone have fun, and I for one would watch them under a highway overpass with cars going by and beeping at me for stumbling around in the highway.
Here is another thing, this time there was more people and the sound was not as booming...bring more people and the sound will echo even LESS! So not going is actually going to effect others good time on top of being bad for the band. -

i\'m not going to let anyone call me a tool without hearing back from me. its the way i\'ve been brought up, i guess. not looking to start fisticuffs with the guy, but i felt i needed to come back with something for my own sake.
lol... I\'m really sorry, YoMa - just wanted a reason to use that smilie... that\'s right, I\'m a :****:
I really liked it, but it never just fits into normal conversations... hence, the reason I said no offense
I\'m not trying to start a war... I was just havin\' some fun while home alone instead of @ the Websta w/ u all

I will never go to see a show at the Webster again. The last time I was there (either 2002 or 2003) I flew in from thousands of miles away for the show and couldn\'t even hear the freakin\' band. The sound in this place absolutely sucks, IMO. The issue with security is secondary in nature to the fact that you cannot hear a god damn thing.
I was considering a trip up there for NYE, but now... no way.... hopefully, I will get to make it up there before. -

wow every says the same things over and over and **** over
