For The Record.....

This is my 6th night of a 12 night run with the band.......It has been a pretty amazing experience so far. I have seen a few contrasting scenarios that this band faces on a night to night basis....from a small college coffee house to a doozefest in wisconsin and indiana, a sold out opening slot in the best venue i have ever seen the breakfast play.....

I was brought on by Tim to help with his gear. I really dont know a lot about guitar teching but Tim is patient and helps me as I am getting acclimated to the position....I do not like to think of myself as just a guitar tech.....I am here to help the band which is everyone. I am learining (slowly albeit) how the drums get set up and the keys as well, not to mention helping Dobz run wires and such...Basically whatever is going to help out the situation from a situation to situation basis....

In the past 6 days, my whole perspective has changed........On life....On music.....On The Breakfast.....I have also learned so much already about life, music, and The Breakfast, and that is just scratching the surface of what else is out there.....I just hope that I am able to help keep this going, because these kids love making music and they are damn good at it...

I cannot wait for Omaha as I got to meet Esthawhadup\'s friend Kim from Omaha last night at the Cabooze and from what I hear tomorrow should be a great night........

Until the next time....
See you on the other side.....
Stephen

PS. I think the show in Omaha is being webcast.....

Glad you\'re having fun Steve. Life on the road certainly gives you an entirely different take on what the band is all about. Strange cities and venues, doozies, fans you never knew you had, sleeping in funny places, loading in and out, living nocturnally, driving, looking for roadhead, eating Adrian\'s incredible Coleman-stove cooking, having no friends around besides the guys in the van... it\'s a different world alright. Have fun ya fuckin gearhead!

Great to read Steve.
Until you know more about guitar teching though stay the hell away from Tim\'s guitars. Stick w/ the keys or something. :lol:
Glad to hear you are having fun. Touring w/ a band as crew can be some of the most fun ever.
Oh and seeing as you\'re the newest member even Gavin now has a ****! :lol:
