OMG, this is my FIRST time starting a thread in the lounge!! How exhilarating. :D As pointless as this thread may seem at first glance, I do in fact have something to celebrate! :jester: :juggle: My 1000th post! :jester: :juggle: Yup, took me 7 months....far longer than most of you, but hey, I did finally make it! :mad: I'd just like to say that, even though most of you guys don't know me, I :heart: you all (well most of you! :P), and I love coldplaying! :D This calls for........a thread party! :drummer: :guitarist: :dance: Break it down!

Yes, thanks Danielle for saying that. :kiss: We realize not everyone can donate, but your attitude and mentality towards wanting to do good is also what this club is all about! And like the letter writing, you will find your own ways to help out. :) Through everyones combined efforts, donations and support, we are going to make a differnce in Zali's life. And that thought alone fills me up with so much hope...which is a very powerful thing. :nice:

LMAO. :lol: Oh lordy, those lyrics!! :laugh4: Thanks Vic for the translation. :) In most cases, I'd say something like, 'oh the meaning was probably lost in translation'.....but I'm not so sure that the original is much better in this case!

Sounds great Alyssa. :thumbsup: Hopefully you get the chance to add in piano and drums at some point. Well done.

Cute pic Steph! :nice: Is that a.....bubble? :cool2:

Aw yes, converse rawk! :cool2: Cuuuute pics. Pretty soon Apple is going to be too big for Chris to carry her around like that! :nice:

Oh my! You two, and your matching avis, are confusing me! :laugh4: Thanks so much Nik for that link! I don't have any of those bsides. :cool:

It's no problem you guys. :) Happy to do it. I tried using my video editing software to cut off the bits we don't need, but the quality went waaay down. :( Thanks Vic for posting the Codecs. Those are the one I use. To rip videos off of YouTube and GoogleVideo, I use a handy dandy firefox extension called VideoDownloader. It downloads the files with the .flv extensions. Then you need to get either a flv player or something to convert it to avi or mpeg. I use Riva FLV encoder. This program is actually designed to convert normal video files to .flv, but you can manipulate it to convert the other way (doesn't always work, but most of the time it does). Be patient...it sometimes takes a while. For me, it seems as if the program has locked up while converting, but just leave it be and give it time. Hope that helps!

He looks like a bit of a bad ass in that pic. Hold on, Jonny?.....bad ass? Errr..... :laugh4:

Yeah Ive noticed that KM. :P And I just love the way he uses his eyes to do half the talking.......and how he like, holds back his words mid sentence and then spits them out all in one go. Know what I mean? He's so damn entertaining to watch.....even when just talking! :nice:

Ripped and uploaded! So sorry its on megaupload....I couldn't get rapidshare to work today!! :mean: http://www.megaupload.com/?d=5WV3779J I converted it to avi, and I really hope it plays on all your computers. You may need to download some codecs.... EDIT: Oh yeah, forgot to say that it's the entire show as ripped from Google Vid. I couldn't edit out the other interviews. Sowwry.

I dunno if this has been posted here yet, but it's sooo funny (and surprisingly well put together!) http://youtube.com/watch?v=e2bB0mmJrrQ&search=pokemon%20bitches :laugh4::laugh4:

LMAOOO! Good one Nettie!!! :laugh4:

I was able to rip it off Google Vid, and I converted it to an avi. It plays fine in Windows Media Player, but I'm not sure if that's just because I have the right codecs. I'm trying to upload it on rapidshare, but it appears to be down? :( I post it as soon as I can.

Denise, thank you very much for your donation as well :)......and everyone else who has donated. :)

Lance.....I don't know what to say. I just saw your donation in the account. That is truely amazing. I'm completely speachless!!!!! Thank you, thank you a thousand times over!!! :kiss: :kiss: :kiss: We are going to contact Save the Children this weekend and sign up for a child. We will all hopefully see picutres soon.

;) Not sure yet if it's gonna work. :P I do hope a hi res copy pops up. Anyone found it as a torrent yet?

I'm ripping it off Google Vid now....I should be able to convert it. I'll give it a try.

I dunno why, but PBS doesn't always broadcast the same shows in all areas at the same time. On my PBS station it says "Coldplay's Chris Martin is interviewed.".....<-- Pretty sure this is the one. :lol:
