Hello Friendly Person: 

Raise your hand if you were at the
first Breakfast of Champions in 2000 at Pier 23. Space Cowboys used to
have this whacked-out all-nighter on New Year's Eve at the San
Francisco Motorcycle Club; it was like a psychedelic disco at a
roadhouse with a speakeasy in the back. Back then, everyone was young,
resilient, and had the stamina to make a New Year's Even stretch for
several days. Of course, come the dawn everyone was completely
brain-cooked and had the thousand-yard stare, but ain't no was thinking
about bed. Before 2k, the revelers would retire from the Motorcycle
Club at daybreak, and spend New Year's Day hunkered down in someone's
apartment, drinking Budweiser, recapping party highlights, and solving
the problems of the world. But in 2k, a few industrious fellas in the
group got the bright idea to have an real after party. I think the
official team was French Nic, Roy, and Pootie, and I don't think the
party even had a name that year. I get to take credit for coming up
with the name "Breakfast of Champions" when I was designing the first
flyer (for the following year). A bunch of times Nic's made the false
claim that the name was his idea, but he's French, so who you going to
believe? Even with everyone crammed under a small tent to avoid dancing
in the rain, the first New Year's Day party was a big hit -- DJs had a
blast and the crackheads loved it. 

Eventually we put the New
Year's Eve party to bed. There are a million things to do on New Year's
Eve and it's basically amateur hour; anyone can go out to party on New
Year's Eve. But 6am on New Year's Day is for the professionals. 

We
moved BoC to the Potrero Brewing Company, and had a breaks room
upstairs amid pool tables. PBC folded after the dotcom collapse, but
then it reopened as Whisper, and we were pleased to learn that BoC was
a selling point for the new owners. 

Today, we're 10 years in,
and we're back by the Bay at Kelly's Mission Rock. We've had more than
50 DJs play more than 200 sets for more than 10,000 dancers over the
last decade; we've run bars dry, we've made bathrooms filthy, we've
looked our ugliest, raggedest and sweatiest, and we've had more fun
that ought to be legally allowed. That said, we've also been mainly
incident-free (with the exception of the guy last year who was a
"danger to himself & to others" and had to be carried out,
restrained on a body-board -- dude, you rock!), and we've always had a
happy friendly vibe. As many people have put it, "Breakfast of
Champions is like a reunion, where you see all your friends -- the ones
you see every day, the ones you don't see enough, and the ones you
haven't met yet."

So, on behalf of Space Cowboys, thank you to
everyone who's been part of the madness over the last 10 years. Thank
you DJs, bouncers, bartenders, and most importantly all you Champions!

See you Friday!

xo,

FLYER INFO:
<Mr. Pickles says...>
"Kelly's
feels that it is essential to the success of Breakfast of Champions,
and the continued operation of Mission Rock as a venue for our
"community", that there be no flyering of cars.

Now I'm not suggesting that any of you would actually flyer a car (i know such manual labor is far beneath y'all anyway)
but you may "know" such people, or see people you "know" engaged in such activity.

If
you could do what you can to help stop it from starting in the first
place, or asking peeps you may know to stop, it would be greatly
appreciated. We far prefer for peeps to partake in that long lost art
of one-to-one flyering in the line or even in the club. i know it's
soooo old-school, but its far more effective, especially when done by
those young attractive types.

More so I'm asking for you to help us spread the word...."
