I was just about to ask which oldies are still around? Sof? Jack? Eric? Andrea? aLYSSA? Mai? who who who!?

Same ol I guess. No new news...I was recently unemployed due to the sucky work junk here in the states! Woop! right? :O But all is good, still have my sugar daddy makin us money and still safe so I won't complain. I kept meaning to log on and post here, but I don't know...been busy working for Google Adsense right now. That like, totally takes so much of my attention. But I am giving myself some time (am really bad at that) to visit the pretty sites that I used to. :) Really nice to see u around here.

LORENITAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA! Awe, sweet girl! Thanks, yeah it's been a very long while right?! How have you been?

O hey I just read some of the last pages on this thread, there were at least two other people from Spring/Woodlands area! Mee toooo I live down FM 2920 in the Spring area but I moved from straight out of the Woodlands year and a half ago. Sweet beans, fellow Houstonians. I can't believe how many people left after the Scientist. I wasn't leaving until they kicked me out! Those suckers missed the BEST part of the show, seriously! The lighting effects were very much brilliant, but it was super smoky in there for some weird reason so a handful of my shots reflect that. But otherwise, everything else was awesome. And was anyone feeling nauseous when those two dudes climbed the ladders to get to the cams or lights (whatever it was they were controlling way up there)!?! I was like "no they did not just go swinging themselves up there!" the whole time they were setting up. And I guess they got bombarded with butterflies, they kept sweeping them off of themselves. I wish I would have had more time to set up a meet up, but my husband had surprised me with tickets just the night before. I had been begging him to get me tickets months ago when I found out about the show ( I have missed their hows like four times for whatever reasons ) and he just kept saying maybe, maybe. So I had put it out of my mind the whole time just assuming I wouldn't get to go. But man! He got me! We spent entirely too much with tickets and a handful of shirts/merch. and food and parking (15 dollars for parking, awesome...right?) But well worth it, truly and amazing show!!!!!

I was there! Hey suckah! You all got great views and shots! I had first upper level like almost way in the back. But they did come like twenty feet from my seat when they went up the the back! I have a vid and some cool shots that I am too damn lazy to post right now! Soon tho. Man freaking amazing show it beat the Radiohead concert this year I went to! WaY more energy. And that is really saying something i am a big fan of both! You guys had GREAT seats!

:blush: thankies

Dan and I at the coast of Crystal Beach, just a few weeks before the beach was ravaged my Hurricane Ike.

I don't know how it is that Eric has the powers to discover such truths :O where are all my ol peeps?

OH EHM GEE Look who's here!

WWOWOOW I haven't seen a pic of you in prolly like two years! You've grown up in the best way possible! Way hot, man.

you should try to call the venue if that's possible. at my venue, the suggested you call THE DAY of your show because camera rules are different for some performers. I was allowed to bring a camera, the only things they asked is that it not be a professional camera and by that they meant no big professional lenses. Every venue and show is different so the only way to know is calling the venue. It's best to get there an hour or more ahead. And if you are really concerned, there is no harm getting there early. You might enjoy meeting other fans while you wait :) *edit.... also, if you plan on buying Radiohead loot at the venue, try to have cash instead of credit. Some places take credit but not all. But credit lines are incredible slow anyway. The Blink your eyes one for yes and two for no shirt...cost me 40 american dollars. woop! pretty expensive for a shirt. Its organic cotton but it feels like silk! So comfy!

loot

I KNOW everyone has the right to sit wherever and ...but its not right to like do jigs when you are 10 feet by five feet or something, and its NOT okay to high five people five times in a row when you are that big with your big friends next to you so that the people behind you enjoy and see nothing! but at least the lawn section was really jamming out. And the set list was more than i could ask for. I guarded the tickets with my life before the show, but like i had to make dinner for some friends before the show so i got distracted. i walked out saying, got my cash in hand, camera too, my friends, my pants....i remembered everything but the tickets

I heard this statement on the television about a trial involving a black man who was released from prison after years of a false trial due to the fact that he was black and it was a trial taken place when KKK influence was abundant. The man who said this was an onlooker of that case. "Racism is more powerful than facts because its illogical. It's emotional, and thats why facts don't matter." That is powerfully true. Back then and now. How sad.

wow, you either had great! seats or a super zoom on your cam, I saw the pics you posted of the band....super great shots! I was there at the Woodlands show. Where did you have seats? My gang and I sat (if you are standing in the crowd of people looking at the stage) on the left side of the lawn. Right after the uncovered seating section. And I am too small to get good shots over some tall jerk whose head was, I am sure, illegally large! But the set list was amazing. I would have added a song or two. But seriously...amazing show. The lawn crowd was pretty cool though. Everyone was pretty grateful to have gotten in to see them regardless of where they were located. And yes, we had an amazing view of the moon that night. I loved the tube things on the stage and towards the end, the giant screen zoomed in really close on one of Thom's eyes and everyone thought that was hysterical EDIT! I almost forgot to say that I was late to the show! There was six people in my car caravan. Three of us forgot our tickets to the show and only remembered when we were about five minutes away! So we dropped off those who had their tickets at the venue and hauled ass twenty minutes back home to get mine, my husband and one other friends ticket! I was like OMGOMGOMG this is NOT happening today. Show was starting at 730pm with an opening band (whose name I never got, btw) But even so were were about 45 minutes late. We got there five minutes into Radiohead's set-up time. So we didn't miss the juicy part but it was a pretty awful feeling none the less. I thought I was gonna miss a good chunk.

i found this while i was searching to see what they might play for the show I am going to it had like some stats ..., out of six shows, the amount and times they played certain songs it gave me a good idea of what i might hear. and the chances of getting to hear certain songs :) http:// http://58hours.com/tour_details.php?tour=11

Was going through vids on youtube of Radiohead watching Reckoner live studio video version and i saw this comment by viewers ...hilarious! "henrymcendoo " =can you have a wank over music and still be cool? Reply to that comment: =No you cant, thats the tough choice one has to make with Radiohead and 'wanking':) And thanks to all who take the efforts of posting setlist! I WILL BE SEEING THEM THIS SATURDAYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY! YIPEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE I will take crapppy videos and pictures

lol! has be been gone long? like a super long time!?

mark is back?

:rolleyes:

they have flip up chairs...and there is pit spots too. Lawn space at the pavilion is just this huge huge space with grass and you can rent out a chair for five bucks or bring your own. or stand. you bring or rent a chair if you have that lawn section ticket like me. but its pretty ridiculous because they charge you for your "seat" when that seat is just a random spot that i choose on the lawn i dunno, i just think its wild how much tickets can go for. But it's the pavilion surrounded by The Woodlands rich kids who can more than afford this show. They prolly don't even care for Radiohead that much, they just want to be able to say they went. My friend used to work there and she always called me when she saw Dave Matthews or Radiohead while she was working the show. She would gag and tell me how much she hated them. BUt she has great tickets to this Radiohead show and her reasons for that I couldn't tell you. :rolleyes:

it will be ours this Friday! and Ricky, I meant lonely on coldplaying.com...there was NOONE around! Thankies Lorenita :kiss:

here's the effin line-up for 2008! Looks like an awesome show! Regina, Bjork, Arcade Fire, Muse, The Decemberists, Kaiser Chiefs, Ben Kweller! http://www.aclfestival.com/lineup.aspx

found on msn news Music as Medicine Music therapy can help reduce anxiety and improve physical health By Serena Gordon, HealthDay Reporter Music therapy can help reduce anxiety and improve physical health. SATURDAY, March 22 (HealthDay News) -- Almost everyone has used music at one time or another to relax or perhaps to get energized. But the discipline of music therapy takes the use of music much further, from battling depression to combating cancer. "Music therapy is an evidence-based practice that can affect changes in physical, psychological, social and cognitive domains through music experiences and the relationship that develops between the client and the therapist," said Cheryl Dileo, a professor of music therapy and director of the Arts and Quality of Life Research Center at Temple University in Philadelphia. Just turning up the radio to your favorite tune to erase a blue mood doesn't qualify as music therapy, Dileo explained. "Self-help through music is not music therapy, although many people do use music for themselves, for example for relaxation to improve their moods, or to accompany exercise." Music therapy, on the other hand, "involves an interpersonal process through which a trained therapist uses his or her knowledge and skills to address the client's assessed needs and issues," she said. "Although many people understand intuitively how to use music for themselves, when it is used within a music-therapy process by a trained therapist, it can be a powerful means to achieving positive physical, psychological, cognitive and social outcomes." The uses of music therapy are myriad, according to Dileo. Music therapy can be used to reduce the anxiety of hospital patients undergoing difficult medical procedures. It can help lessen pain and improve mood, she said. Music therapy can also help depressed patients express their feelings. Music therapy has been used to keep Alzheimer's patients calm and help them improve their memories at the Institute for Music and Neurologic Function at the Beth Abraham Family of Health Services in New York City. At Children's Memorial Hospital in Chicago, board-certified music therapist Elizabeth Pociask uses music therapy to help new parents calm their infants. "Music is a natural source of distraction. When a child is visibly upset, the introduction of a novel stimulus (turning on some music) will at least temporarily divert their attention away from what is upsetting them," she explained. "The parent's singing voice accomplishes the same thing and adds the element of familiarity -- the most comforting sound for an infant will nearly always be a parent's voice. When used regularly, music and/or singing can become a calming ritual, and the infant then learns to associate the music with relaxation or sleep." Dileo said that music therapists should be board-certified, which means they've attended at least a four-year college program, as well as completed a supervised internship and have passed a national exam. However, less formal music programs can be helpful as well. Katherine Puckett, national director of mind-body medicine at the Cancer Treatment Centers of America, said that while they don't have board-certified music therapists on staff, the centers do use music as a means to help their patients. "Music can activate the relaxation response, which helps promote deep breathing, lower heart rate, lower blood pressure, ease muscle tension and create less stress. That can help cancer patients sleep better, and difficulty sleeping is a common problem for cancer patients," Puckett said. "Relaxing the body can also help relieve physical pain, and people may need less pain medication," she added. The Cancer Treatment Centers of America keep a library of music available for patients to use, and they have special events, such as drumming circles, that help provide an emotional release for their patients, Puckett said. "Some people can release their emotions through talking, but sometimes people need a non-verbal release. We've had people moved to tears in our special events," she said. "People respond to music -- you don't have to be sick to respond to music. It's relaxing, comforting and soothing," Puckett added.

lonely, lonely...that is me. Where is everyone!?
