i don\'t understand.
you have been saying how you are dying to see this band again for months. they are already booked for a show 4.5 hours away from you. if they don\'t make it to chicago or in, why not just drive to madison? how often does the breakfast come that close to you anyway?
i have been in the car for 15 hours to see phish (not counting the traffic) getting into IT.
12 hours for a dead show (don\'t get me started on bonnaroo traffic).
5-6 hours on average to see a breakfast show.
if you don\'t have a car on campus, i say borrow one from someone and get to the show.
amen! now look here kate, i have never owned a car and i manage to get to any breakfast show i want to get to. you are capable, now do it dammit.
*SLAP* get ahold of yourself, woman!!!
:pout:
If you lived 13 hours away from the Breakfast in the middle of a cornfield, you\'d feel the same way.
So when the boys come out here to play, who\'s tagging along?
Living in the middle of NYC w/ access to true MASS transportation is a whole lot different than living in Po\'dunk, IN with no car.

THANK YOU.
In response to the animosity, I\'ve been talking with friends since the second I saw this thread,
and I\'ve been planning on going to Madison, I just need to take care of transportation. I want the band to come to LBC because I could get tons of Purdue students to go if I have enough time to do promo work around campus. It\'s a great venue with a great reputation. It could also open up some awesome opportunities at bigger places in Indianapolis, like the Music Mill (

good news.. tim emailed me about sending out promotional
**** for their "MW
run in november."
Now That\'s What I\'m Talkin\' About! :banana:
Gordo, send me some of that
**** and I\'ll post it from the UP to Tennessee.

Wait I thought you were going to Groovatron?
Also... what is the deal with this LBC place? Is it the only venue in the state? It\'s kind of expecting a lot to expect the band t book at the one venue that is good for you.
I\'m fuckin pissed they aren\'t playing at Millie\'s Tavern in Manch-Vegas! :lol:
Correction: I was planning on going to Groovatron before I saw the Bfast dates. I thought I wouldn\'t make it to Madison because all my friends had already planned to go to LBC November 11th. I\'m slowly talking them into heading north, though.

Um, refer to this post:
in Indianapolis, like the Music Mill (http://www.themusicmillvenue.com/) or Birdy\'s (http://www.birdyslive.com/).
It\'s not that LBC is the only venue in the state. It\'s just that they probably couldn\'t fill a venue like the Music Mill yet (they take people like Kottke/Gordon and Pat McGee Band), and other venues the same size as LBC around the state aren\'t really worth playing. The concert-going dynamic around those other venues isn\'t good enough - there are NO heads around here unless you go to a venue by a large university. I\'ve lived here all my life and I\'m quite familiar with smaller venues in every corner of this godforsaken state. Do you really want to see The Breakfast play a show at a place called the
Lil\' Ole Opry in Nashville, Indiana (which is right down the road from towns called GnawBone and Bean Blossom)? A venue where the featured artist is usually a washed-up country music playing hack? A venue that can seat 250 people but doesn\'t have enough room for even 10 people to dance? The only other two venues I could see them playing right now are either Mishawaka Brewing Company by Notre Dame or the Bluebird by Indiana University. I\'m just so stuck on LBC because they\'ve already played here once, had a good experience, and if they were to come BACK, the word would spread faster and would open doors for them in Indy.
I went to LBC last weekend to see an acoustic artist play. There were 300+ people there. Imagine if we could do that for The Breakfast.
good answer. good answer.
Man that sucks Kate. I think you should move when you are done school. That sounds crummy.
I do like the name Lil Ole Opry though...

The Lil Ole Opry has old pews covered in mustard-colored velour for seating. They get people like Josh Gracin (American Idol season 2). You\'re not really allowed to stand up. Most of the people that go there are age 50+. No bar, no food allowed inside, no drinks.
Yes, I\'m moving far far away when I graduate. I\'m thinking Santa Barbara or the East Coast sounds nice...
