i think the bands finances have no place on this board.
there the band,let them do what they gotta do.
there all adults,and i know ronnie does ok as far as the finances go.
ALL I SUGGESTED WAS GETTING A FEW DOLLARS TOGETHER TO HELP OUT TIMMYP.
http://www.musicproinsurance.comThese people have tour liability, travel accident coverage, and instrument/equipment insurance. It\'s a start, at least. These are the kind of things that they would need to be looking for in a reliable insurance plan.
who is bickering?
why is it everytime people start to talk on this board, it is a fight/bickering, people are entitled to opinions and I think we need to listen to everyone of them. Everyone needs to learn to talk.
I have been flamed by Oldnewbie many times, did I ever take it to heart? No, why? because I never met the man and until I did last week, I hadn\'t made a conclusion about him. After meeting him and talking to him, I understand exactly where he is coming from on many of the remarks. He is one of the kindest and friendliest people I have ever met. I saw him hand drinks to the band at one point last night and I saw him worry about smoke coming from a light. My point is this, just because it seems like we are talking at each others throat doesn\'t mean it is bad. Have you ever solved something with out talking about it? Ever have a discussion or a debate in school? Does it seem like it is bickering? It is simply discussion.
spacey,realize that were dealing with a few flybynights who are the biggest breakfast fans in the world right now.

Maybe we all need a "swim out to Love Lake"?
I have a 1991 Chevy 3/4 ton van with a brand new heater core and Radiator that would easilly make it out to CT. I\'ll sell it for $1000 and drive it out there with all expenses paid.
i don\'t know if they have something in the works already, but you should send an email to one of the .org people, either ron or tim.
You can NOT change the name of this band again. Disaster waiting to happen.
What this band needs is to get the business side of the ordeal staightened out so they can focus on what is really important, creating more songs and music.
Because I am tired of comments like this, especially from people who claim to like the band
yeah they\'re great at first, like seriously the biggest breath of fresh air ever... but then after 3 years of **** following you\'ll grow tired of their ongoing jams that seem to go absolutely nowhere. i used to fluff the living hell out of them, but realized that almost everyone i introduced them to disliked them because of their lack of musical direction, display of generic "psychedelic hippie lingo" ie lyrics to See the Light, VT Song etc.. and overall need to go too far over the edge with every show they played. do i still love them to death? yes, they\'ll always have a special place in my heart. do i think they\'ll ever progress out of the bar/club scene? nope.....
Umph 4 lyfe snucka.....
In all SER, the next time I hear someone call this band a shitty bar band, I am going to knock them out. I am tired of all the people who want Phish to get back together, GIVE IT UP! A PHISH reuinion would be the cheesiest and lamest thing ever. It is time to move on...
Someone needs to kill this thread.

can you please try to bring something to the table for once?
this thread is getting out of control. i dont think any issues with management/finances can get solved on this message board. things must be taken one piece at a time. want to raise some money? lets decide on a raffle. my stance would to be just to raise money for the band and let them decide whats the best way to spend it. it\'s their band, let them decide what their priorities are. i like chris\'s idea of raffling off a signed dvd, but lets up the incentive and include more merch than that, so people will really want to buy raffle tickets. a dollar ticket is a great way of doing so. anyone with me?
edit: if this thread continues to spiral out of control, i\'m just gonna close it.
how did this thread get railroaded into Name change, the name is fine.\\
if they change their name again, they might as well change it to Identity Crisis
Here is my suggestion: The Breakfast needs to incorporate itself. It will cost a little bit and be a hassle to deal with paperwork, most certainly. However, once that is done, nearly everything will be a tax write-off. New van, gas, drinks, food, etc. They would save tons. I dont know why nobody has suggested this before...it makes ALOT of sense
We were talking about this last night spacey...I dont understand how people can say such things. So much talent. I may be pretty small but if you knock them out, i will kick \'em while they are down.

Ideas like this need to be implimented...
Lisa I don\'t know, but a good idea at the very least.
