Billwx Posted January 14, 2010 Share Posted January 14, 2010 Greetings Coldplayers, For those in and around New Jersey (USA), you might be interested in seeing "Laser Coldplay" at RVCC Planetarium. It's running this Saturday (Jan. 16) and also Feb. and Mar. 13. (Saturdays) All shows are at 8 pm. I am the laserist at the planetarium and can extend a $1 off admission* for the show. Just mention this posting in the Coldplay forum for the discount. (*Not to be combined with any other offer.) As we like to say, "Warm up this winter to Laser Coldplay!" We do recommend reservations for the show (where you can mention this posting for the discount). Details and directions are at http://www.raritanval.edu/planetarium Just click on the laser shows link for other shows and song lists. Note: The show is about an hour long. The song list on the website is the majority of the show, but there are a few extras. Don't forget - mention this posting for $1 off the tickets for the show! :D -Bill Laserist at the Planetarium at Raritan Valley Community College Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Billwx Posted January 15, 2010 Author Share Posted January 15, 2010 Greetings again, I've gotten some messages about more info. Directions and ticket prices and how to make reservations are all on the website. http://www.raritanval.edu/planetarium If you know where Raritan Valley Community College is (in Somerset Co. just west of Bridgewater between Rts. 22 and 78), you can make reservations by calling (908)231-8805 and following the message prompts. Please mention the posting in this forum to get $1 off ticket prices for Laser Coldplay. (Not to be combined with any other offer.) Laser shows at the planetarium combine music and laser light choreography under the starry planetarium dome. Our system produces 16 million color graphics and patterns. Also showing this winter shows featuring Pink Floyd, Led Zeppelin and a variety of music. Oh, and we're nowhere near the Jersey shore. Enjoy! -Bill Laserist at RVCC Planetarium Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
In a telescope lens Posted January 15, 2010 Share Posted January 15, 2010 after watching jersey shore ive come to hate any place or person named jersey That's really ridiculous of you because everyone on that show is from New York and they're white trash. That is not what New Jersey is like at all. :dozey: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Billwx Posted January 15, 2010 Author Share Posted January 15, 2010 Greetings! I've just checked the reservation list a little while ago and so far reservations for tomorrow's (1/15/10) Laser Coldplay show is .. 0. So we have 100 seats and at this point all are available. :shocked2: (Last weekend we ran Pink Floyd: Dark Side of the Moon and was almost sold out.) Where oh where are the Coldplay fans? :confused: -Bill RVCC Planetarium Laserist Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Billwx Posted January 16, 2010 Author Share Posted January 16, 2010 Greetings, The evolution of "Laser Coldplay" at RVCC Planetarium is interesting. 2 years ago we started getting a lot (and I mean A LOT) of requests for a Coldplay show. Last spring even other staff started asking. So during the summer I created the show. (It's almost an hour long.) Each song takes 2-3 hours to produce. (This is an original show, not produced by someone else.) We ran it 3 times during the fall 2009 season. One show's attendance was about 12 and the other 2 were less than 10. That's considered horrible attendance. Especially since Pink Floyd, ELO, Led Zeppelin and other shows get at least 30 to sold out. We considered dumping the Coldplay show, but thought the winter season might be better. So we're giving the show "another chance". Up until last night, tonight's show had zero reservations, while all our other sky and family laser show had reservations. Last weekend, the Pink Floyd laser show almost sold out. I look at a forum like this and see Coldplay is still very much popular, so the band are not "has beens". Those that came to the show last fall enjoyed it and there was a lot of additional production using our star projection system because we thought it was going to be a "big" show. Anyway, it's interesting that a show that was requested a lot is getting bad attendance. :\ Unfortunately this winter could be the last run of the show. :( We'll probably put some Coldplay songs into our upcoming variety shows. However, I've posted some messages here and there and we have our regular planetarium publicity. One thing that does interest us is which publicity works best. So if anyone from THIS forum does come or make reservations, PLEASE do mention it! You'll get $1 off the tickets for the show and help us determine if fan forums like this one are actually useful. It also entices me to post future messages if a new show/songs are coming up that feature Coldplay. :) -Bill RVCC Planetarium Laserist Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
