Don't start teasing or stripping for the seat in front of you thinking it is Jonny!

Gah Angie... first the Jonny Threat Level, now the switcheroo and they still can't stop you. I think Jonny is going to be in a heap of trouble!

I woke up, reached over to hit my alarm clock, and accidentally grabbed two lanyards with casino cards attached. I nearly stubbed my toe and broke my back frantically looking for my glasses thinking that, I dunno, the tooth fairy left me two VIP passes... oh boy :P

GAH... I guess I just wanted something to do instead of just pacing around the hotel room then :P Me + Calendar Dates = Not a good match

Lore, Ian posted that they would be announced around 3 PM EST or 8 PM BST, something like that

I've only requested time for tomrrow and Friday, so unfortunately I can't wait in line tonight. If I do win VIP tickets or still have my room for Thursday night, I might camp around the Daily Show building to see if they still have additional/stand by tickets in... I wish I could be down there waiting in line right now!

Yeah... I just checked. They have a studio suite at the hotel for $375/night Oh man... 2 hours and 45 minutes to go! Good luck!

It's official, Jonny's Security Threat Level chart has been RAISED to: Strawberry Swing Red

oOo... touche!

Hey JBella... I'll be sending out the Philadelphia seating/sign distribution diagram by next Wednesday. Keep checking your email!

I'll sacrifice myself as the human ladder :P

I couldn't imagine how Jonny would be reacting if he saw all of your posts... :P "Hey... were a band called Coldplay. Jonny won't be making it this evening due to a security level orange placed on him after numerous mob posts on a website called coldplaying.com." Coldplayers in the VIP section: "WOOOO! coldplaying.com!"

I decided that it might be easier to take the bus down on Thursday night from Binghamton (since they have 11 routes heading down to NYC each day!) I have a reservation at the Pod Hotel right now, but I am trying to see if we can stay overnight with a friend down at NYU. Man, I feel terrible about your flight from Texas. You should be able to make it back to JFK by Noon without a problem. Doesn't the Today show end around 9ish + time to meet the band. I'd give yourself about an extra hour or so after the taping, so you'd be fine...

Set up the paypal account, make it optional, and then threaten the VIPers with a $50 ticketmasteresque surcharge for the contest :P On second thought, stick with the donation idea...

If this was directed to me :P, if I win, I am hoping to stay overnight Thursday and then possibly stay in the city for the afternoon on Friday until after rush hour. How about you?

I'm thinking about bringing some of the signs that we'll be distributing at the Philadelphia concert in July for members in the Today Show crowd as well considering that I have a stack of Coldplay Sign Gang "USA Loves Coldplay" signs. Thought that a little sneak peek from the Coldplay Sign Gang would be amazing for the Today show... show!

My girlfriend and I are nearly finished with a replica Chris jacket for the show. She has been hand stitching it for the past month. All that's left are some of the multi-colored arm bands. I'll be sure to post pictures with it when it is complete. If we win, I'll be sure to try and have the boys sign one of the arm bands. That would just be amazing! Ack... boss is coming. BBS! Good luck!

Oh jeezies! Less than 5 hours to go until official entries aren't going to be accepted. :P Let's see how much trouble I've already gotten into: No fingernails *check* No toenails *check* No foot *semi-check?* Both my girlfriend and I's Bosses know that I have my car gassed up to leave work early on Thursday and not return until Monday *check mate?* ... Good luck everyone!

Haha... well I am glad to put a smile on someone's face today! I read somewhere online (while doing a random Coldplay search during work hours :P) that some of the NYC radio stations might also be holding contests for VIP passes to the Today Show as well. I glanced at it quickly so I could have been mistaken! Ack! 16 hours to go!

Oh no! I've just chewed through my finger since all of my fingernails are gone! Maybe I could use the blood to write a "V" on my white shirt before the Today Show... oOo That's going to hurt tomorrow...

I've started on my toenails already... we still have over 24 hours to go! Nicely quoted AI, whatever happens, happens. I'm just hoping that the people selected are extremely appreciative of this opportunity and are able to actually travel to the show!

Bail money OR money to purchase your own security uniform so that you blend in once they are deployed... oOOoOOo On second thought, you should get Jonny's face spraypainted a la Sports Illustrated over your body... no one would ever suspect anything :P

Breaking news from NBC's Today Show: Crazed Coldplay fan strikes security with CD and tackles Jonny Buckland during a performance of Viva La Vida. *Camera pans to running view seen on the show Cops* "AHHHH... JOHNNY! Visit coldplaying.com! AHHHH!" NYPD officials have secured Rockefeller Plaza and are currently deploying several SWAT teams to diffuse the situation. Wow... I hope I am able to see something like that from you if I win...

You could squeeze his bum and then slip the CD in his back pocket... two for one!

Well since the CD isn't available anymore, I'll pick up two of the shirts from the store instead and try to have my girlfriend give Chris one and have the other one signed. Maybe we could come up with a short pamphlet describing CCC's efforts to slip into the shirt or something. Reading material for the boys on the plane would be nice...
