coldplayer 101 just got it!

It was very low key, no fanfare at all, but I will collect all my scratch pad notes and tell ya all about it tomorrow :)

can you have it to me by tomorrow 12 noon NY time which is EST?

Mohammed, I just got home and received your entry :)

Just got back from the Karma lecture at the Rubin Museum with Chris and Eddie Stern. It was so lovely. Will have a nice review for you tomorrow. Will tell you one tidbit, Chris had lots of Love Buttons for the sell out crowd, standing room only! (No pictures or video allowed and I go by the rules) took so many notes in the dark on pieces of scratch paper and back of my shopping lists, forgot my Gal Reporter notebook :(

Just that I thought it was a new one and that it had a patch on it, maybe something for the new era

Did Y'all see this? Notice the hat when you are not umm looking else wear

No worries you guys, I really didn't think you would. It's just my job when shows come round to remind all members what the Board policies are. There are new members here too who don't know and it was just a friendly reminder to everyone. :)

Reminder: We don't condone selling free tickets/ticket ppl have won on the board here for money. If you want to give them away here that is fine :) If you decide to sell them elsewhere that is your decision.

mboy114, I am sorry for you :( but you can put them up on ticketmaster with a code to give to someone if you want, I do not know the specifics but it can be done

That is very kind of you closcanut, you can also post about it here http://www.coldplaying.com/forum/threads/104660-Global-Citizen-Festival-TICKET-Thread-Invite-a-Coldplayer-!-26-Sep-2015/page4

Welcome to the Board :)

http://www.rollingstone.com/music/news/global-citizen-co-founder-on-chris-martins-15-year-fest-curating-gig-20150923 Article from Rolling Stone [h=1]Global Citizen Co-Founder on Chris Martin's 15-Year Fest Curating Gig[/h] [h=2]Beyoncé, Pearl Jam and more battle poverty in Central Park this weekend[/h] Beyoncé, Pearl Jam, Coldplay, Ed Sheeran, Common and Bollywood singer Sunidhi Chauhan will perform in New York City's Central Park on September 26 for the 2015 Global Citizen Festival, a concert rewarding attendees for their actions promoting the goal of eradicating global poverty. [h=4]Sidebar[/h] Stephen Colbert, Hugh Jackman to Host Global Citizen Fest » The lineup was curated by Coldplay frontman Chris Martin, who has committed to the Global Citizen Festival until 2030. Bono, Stephen Colbert, Leonardo DiCaprio, Salma Hayek Pinault, Deborra-Lee & Hugh Jackman, Kerry Washington, Olivia Wilde, Nobel Peace Prize winner Malala Yousafzai, Facebook CEO Mark Zuckerberg, and Bill and Melinda Gates are all expected to share hosting duties for an event that drew 60,000 people last year. As Saturday approaches, many final preparations fall to Global Citizen co-founder Ryan Gall, an executive producer of the festival. "The final week is always a little crazy," he says. "All sorts of opportunities come out of the woodwork, and it's sort of a juggle on which ones we can pull off last minute." In a conversation with Rolling Stone, he spoke excitedly about the event's challenges and the rewards of Beyoncé's retun. How did you get Chris Martin to sign on to this until he's 53? He didn't want to do just a one-off. He wanted to sink his teeth into it and really do some meaningful work. He literally has called up artists. He called up Ed Sheeran personally. He called up Beyoncé personally. When we come up with an idea like, "Hey, do you guys want to collaborate on a song?" it's just festival people trying to make it happen. But if Chris has an idea of collaborating and doing something unique during the performance, it's coming from the artist. It changes everything. That's been fun to see the set list behind the scenes and what the program throughout the evening is going to be. I think it's a step above what it was the last couple of years. Will Coldplay always perform for the next 15 years? No. We'll always be able to throw in artists that we like, but Chris is really the curator and he can work with the young and new and the old and amazing artists. It's up to him if Coldplay will play again in a couple years, or depending on where the organization grows. We feel like we're pretty lucky to get them right now. It's their first show in quite a long time. What causes is he passionate about? We actually brought Chris over to India, and had a chance for him to sit down with Prime Minister Modi. That's one that's evolving into a natural fit: A clean water initiative with an India focus for Chris. How have you charted the growth of the Global Citizen Festival? Our user database of people taking action on our website has jumped up to about six million. You really need numbers like that. We're hoping to grow to 15 million and bigger over the next year. Another way we can tell it's growing is the people involved. Not just the musicians, but the hosts, politicians, world leaders and corporate leaders who are coming. Zuckerberg, I don't think he does this type of stuff very often. Beyoncé, who came last year to do a couple songs, to have her come back. Any time you can have an artist do a repeat, it means they believe in what we're doing. What did it take to get Beyoncé back? That ask did come directly from Chris. We were able to work creatively to involve her Chime for Change organization. We like to work with the artists and look at the issues they really care about, and develop a campaign that's a natural fit. Chime for Change is now in a multi-year partnership with Global Citizen. How did you get Central Park's blessing for such a huge show? The New York City Parks have taken this event as something that they love. They don't do a lot of shows in Central Park, and they're very picky about the ones that they allow. They've taken us in, and love that people aren't just showing up for free. They have to earn their way in. They know what we're talking about onstage. It's the most peaceful audience you've ever seen. It's a great vibe. Is this the final concert lineup? You know, there will be a surprise or two.

Deadline is Friday 12 Noon EST, get your entries in kiddos!

Oh your just a little old baby bat who bites fruit did you any you read Stellaluna when you were little?

I thought last nite's episode was pretty good, ahem so anyway Funny or Die has a running piece every Monday, here is this weeks hehehehe [h=5]Funny Or Die[/h]3 hrs · If there's one thing we can all agree on it's that the military seems chill and we should definitely all trust them. The 8 Most Ridiculous Things From Last Night's 'Fear The Walking Dead' funnyordie.com Everything is totally fine again, you guys! Nick (I have reluctantly learned some of the characters’ names) is taking a relaxing heroin dip in a pool surrounded by kale. That annoying kid is on the roof making more of the worst YouTube videos of all time even though YouTube doesn’t exist anymore. Hero Dad (I haven’t learned all the characters’ names) is going for his morning jog around the MILITARY PRISON THEY ALL SEEM COOL WITH? I get it. The world is a scary place out there. You’ve got zombies and looters and gas prices through the roof, oh brother! But everyone is way too comfortable with this whole thing after just nine days. Really goes to show how much good will you can generate if you offer to charge someone’s phone for two hours. [h=2]2) Classic Goof [/h] What a jokester! “Be nice so I don’t have to shoot you!” is such a FUN and GOOFY thing to yell to a crowd! Especially when you have a shitload of guns. What subtle foreshadowing. Like a subtle metric ton of bricks being dropped on your subtle face from five subtle feet above your subtle head. [h=2]3) More Fiend [/h] Wait, you mean the drug addict who just wants to float in a pool all day is still using drugs? Stop the presses! There was no way at all to see this coming except by using your eyes. Also, congrats on somehow finding a more unsettling place to get high than that murder church he used to call home. As relaxing as morphine sounds, I don’t think it would take the edge off of napping underneath a dying man. Maybe just take the pills your mom is offering? They seem chill! Take a chill pill. Holy shit, I just realized chill pills are a real thing. [h=2]4) Fake It Until You Make It [/h] Great work, fake nurse! You, uh, went around the neighborhood giving everyone morphine and wrapping them in bandages. Top notch stuff, very believable doctoring. And then a real doctor shows up and tells you to keep pretending to be a nurse? Everyone is just doing their best these days! It’s too bad it’s dangerously inadequate and will almost certainly cost everyone their lives. [h=2]5) Take That Gun!!! [/h] Hey, New Carol! I don’t know if you realize it, but this guy doesn’t need his gun anymore. That’s a free gun. TAKE THE GUN! How did she not take this gun? I guess she’s only into bashing skulls in, and that gun would make for a poor bashing tool, so she figured it’s basically garbage. ROOKIE MOVE, NEW CAROL. We all judged you for it. [h=2]6) Great Idea [/h] Angsty teenagers are some of the dumbest people alive. Cheer up! I know this breakup feels tough but it’s not the end of the world until it’s actually the end of the world! Wait. Shit. OK, I guess stay bummed because the world is in fact ending. It still doesn’t mean it’s a good idea to go full prison tattoo on some shit your ex-boyfriend (MOVE ON, ALREADY!) drew on you. And it could SO EASILY get infected or be mistaken for a bite. How did she get into such a good college? It’s a miracle she can feed herself and tie her shoes. [h=2]7) What Did The Five Fingers Say To The Heroin Addict? [/h] SLAP! Slappity slap slap SLAAAAPPPP! Looks like someone is still harboring some hostility from last week’s Monopoly sesh. I enjoyed watching Nick get slapped. It was cool! Parents shouldn’t hit kids, but if you’re an adult fucking around with heroin you deserve to get the shit slapped out of you. Especially by your mom. She should be first in line to the slap fiesta. It’s a good thing he’s all doped up on morphine or this parental ass whooping might’ve actually hurt. [h=2]8) Worst Sales Pitch Ever [/h] Free healthcare, bro! Just follow all these shadow figures with assault rifles. Seems legit! Oh, you’re not into it? We’ll you’re going to need some healthcare after this RIFLE SMACK! Nick’s head CANNOT CATCH A BREAK these days. Just whoppings. Tune in next week! The gang is going to shine flashlights on the roof some more and use a refrigerator for three hours of the day while the military systematically makes their loved ones disappear. Everyone is just doing their best!

I love American football but I say NOPE

Were bored and I don't know how to use my tv anymore and all the Netflix users are being used

Adorbs!!! I have missed you traveling round and round!! Thank you so much!! That is very nice of @guyberrymen

One other favorite bands is LCD Sound System. Angie and I got to go to one of their last shows in NY and this is a pic of the shows of the lead singer James Murphy who is a God to me by one of my favorite photographers James Marcus Haney. I hope to buy one of his pictures one day.

Thank you. I have been to concerts at the Great Lawn before in Central Park so I know I wont be anywhere near the stage but I am so excited to be a part of this great day. It will be a wonderful experience and so happy to be a part of it. Malala is a huge inspiration to me and I am thrilled she will be there.

All the entries should be in to me by Friday 12 noon EST by private message (PM) Winners will be announce by 8-9 am EST on Saturday :) and then I am off the the Global Citizen Festival to see Coldplay :dazzled::loveshower::omgomg::bliss:
