busybeeburns Posted December 3, 2010 Share Posted December 3, 2010 Fancy putting your hand to writing a review of Coldplay/Coldplaying in a specific month of 2010? Just some of the things that happened this year: Coldplayers spend £70,000 on clearout auction items Hope for Haiti Latin America tour... Spanish Rain... Wedding Bells... Guy Berryman's art project... 'Roadie: My Life on the Road with Coldplay'... Apparatjik... 10th anniversary of Parachutes... Roadie #43 & #44 during #42's AWOL... Digital Music Awards 2010... LP5 updates... Bakery & Beehive meetings... Christmas Lights... Crisis gigs... The 12 days of Coldplay/Coldplaying Christmas went well last year so if there was enough interest in it this time round then 12 volunteers could do one month each, posting their review on successive days like we did in 2008 and 2009 culminating in a full 2010 review by the end of the calendar year. You can apply on your own or as a pair. If you are interested, reply to the thread below with your preference for month :D Here are the reviews from 2008 and reviews of 2009 to give you a feel of how the reviews work (use of coldplaying new articles, youtube vids, pics etc to build up a story, and then a monthly poll) If there are enough people, the different styles of reviews would be something to look forward to reading! If it helps anyone to gather ideas, its east to use the main site search function, slowly working forward to page 1 (the latest news). Here's where 2010 begins: http://www.coldplaying.com/index.php?name=Search&action=search&active_stories=1&stories_author=&stories_cat%5B%5D=&bool=OR&startnum=361&total=7115 (January 2010 starts at news item 6918.) Each month reviewer should start with the 1st day of their month using the main site search. e.g. April 2010 would be at http://www.coldplaying.com/index.php?name=Search&action=search&active_stories=1&stories_author=&stories_cat%5B%5D=&bool=OR&startnum=201&total=7115 Most of the main site news articles have within them links to the forum threads where all the discussion, youtube vides, pictures, wikicoldplay references etc are. There should be around 5-10 decent different news stories per month and then created a poll asking which was your favourite. You may decide to do it differently, its your choice as the reviewer. Whatever you decide there is a wealth of information at your disposal! :) Posting dates (into the Coldplay forum): January - 19/12 February - 20/12 March - 21/12 April - 22/12 May - 23/12 June - 24/12 July - 26/12 August - 27/12 September - 28/12 October - 29/12 November - 30/12 December - 31/12 Thanks to everyone who decides to volunteer! :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hey sorry just read your msg and then saw you have April. Doesn't really matter to me but I guess we need to cover every month and there are still openings. Either way is fine! :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Megalomania Posted December 5, 2010 Share Posted December 5, 2010 So, can the events be Coldplaying related too? Like, for example, the poll to guess when R#42's next blog would be? :thinking: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
