East Coast is where it\'s at.
I just looked at Jambase and the 9/29 show is at House of Blues in Chicago. So who\'s in? Maybe the east coast is still where it\'s at but if some of the Indiana / Wisconsin people can make the trip for this it will be awesome. This tour is happening at the pefect time for me so I just might make it to Cleveland, Chicago, and Minnesota (although Cleveland on a Thursday has some dooz potential).
Besides, Vegas has a shitty jam band scene anyway. They could play a gig during Vegoose, and come back a year later and play in front of nobody.
The Las Vagas Jam Band Society actually seems pretty active in promoting upcoming shows in the area...I met a group of kids from out there on the moe.cruise in 2004, and they were awesome folks!
If the band were to be out there again, it would be good to seek them out for help with advertising, flyering, info, etc.
according to jambase dates, there\'ll be a Portland show on the 12th, in between Boise and Vancouver.. those\'ll be a sick three days..
I tried to read this thread but just didnt have the stomach or patience..... We all have ideas and thoughts about what the band should and shouldn\'t be doing, and that is why .info is great because we get to express them and talk them out.........
All I can say is I jitter with excitement at the thought of getting on the road for 5 weeks with The Breakfast and helping them spread their music and magic across the country.

Time to start rationing out the remaining vacation days of 2006.
.....Looks like I\'ve got 12 days left on my calendar. Hopefully I can make some of these shows, just have to decide which ones.
I don\'t know what you all are argueing about. There is no Vegoose date....so the entire point is moot.
Our job is to make the best tour we can with folks that hire the band, not those that don\'t For those that don\'t, we have to prove that we can do the business they expect to see when they hire a band. When we do that, we get hired.
Its not at all about who is good, or who is better than any other band. It has to do with the buyers perception of the business we will do. the more folks at the shows, the better promoters, hence better venues are attracted to the band.
Back in the Kroop days Josh would bullshit his way into some gigs, which is cool if you do the business. But more often than not the band did not, so some folks are standoffish toward the band. I don\'t blame Josh...he did what he had to at the time. But the fact is, in the eyes of some promoters, the band was in over its head in certain situations. Not playing wise, business wise. That perception started to turn around last year, which is why another CD. It takes a long time to change industry perceptions.
But we are making steady headway, even if Superfly hasn\'t come to the table.....yet.
My hope is that next year is big growth for the band. The finances are better, the record is great, the guys are happier than they have been in ages. As much as some don\'t want to admit it, the Jordan thing festered for a very long time. I give the guys a lot of credit for dealing with it, and the result has been the best vibes around the band in years. True, some songs will miss Jordan, but either new arrangements will evolve that don\'t miss him, or those songs will fade away. There are plenty of songs.
As to Jordan, I have referred him to three good situations already, and there will be more. It was difficult for him, and I\'m sure that now that the dust has cleared he will emerge in different situation.
As to the trio/quartet debate, its up to the guys. When they feel they need another guy, they will find someone. Some really cool folks have asked about the gig. Alex, Ira, and I all trust them to do the right things. All I know is that right now we have a happy band, and that translates into good shows.
Enjoy the music and have a good time. Stop worryng about stuff you have no control over.
Can you hint at some of the other cities that may be planned into the tour schedule (if there is no mention of clubs with dates on hold, there is no reason not to disclose the cities, right?)?
