A request! During Viva, all of us Oxfam volunteers swung our bandannas around our heads, which must have been a spectacle. If anyone has a picture of this during Viva, please post it or let me know! :D Thanks!

xmonstermaggie: FANTASTIC pictures. Making the one of Chris my profile pic on facebook for now! So good to have you on the team! We all had a fantastic time! :D

What a great show! I was Oxfam's team leader for Saratoga Springs and our team brought the HEAT! Getting pit seats was a fantastic surprise from the band/Oxfam! That's my green hat :laugh3: I touched that umbrella! Such a great show, and the lawn crowd was very excited about signing Oxfam's petition and getting involved! Thanks again fantastic volunteers!

CAN'T WAIT :D

Just thought I'd express my excitement for this! I'm Oxfam's Team Leader for the Saratoga Springs show so stop by and say hello!

Good stuff! I oughta make some :D

Hi everyone! Just writing in to say I'm super excited for this Wednesday! I'm Oxfam's lead volunteer for this show, so be sure to stop in and say hello, and show your support for Oxfam! See you there!

Awesome awesome awesome awesome awesome. I cannot wait til next Wednesday!

(Montreal I just e-mail you about this but figured I'd post it too!) I have a great pair of tickets to this show I'd like to sell, I'm trying to work out going to All Points Festival! They're front row balcony (behind what seems to be a lower VIP row) section 17, row C, seats 9-10. The venue is much smaller than the arenas they play at and even though my seats aren't down on floor (which will cost a ton more), they're much, much better than being farther back and under the balcony! I have them on StubHub but for members of the forum, I'll sell them to you for face value :D Thanks! EDIT: SOLD!

It may be that I'm looking for a pair of tickets instead of a single ticket... I find it strange that the only doubles that show up are in the outer sections under the balcony. I searched for a single ticket and even now there's still some decent single tickets in Section 3. For 2 tickets I keep getting Section 10, Row CC, Seats # 7 & 8 I guess I'll wait for the actual sale date and hope they have great seats up. I just wanna know more about the presale seats and restrictions and such! Bah!

Best I saw was Section 10 row AA, which I now wish I went for. They must release the whole pit come 3/23. I may wait until then and hope for the best! Also nad, I think the sections are numbers, so what's t? :o

I've been looking through the tickets on pre-sale, has anyone bought any yet? It seems to be limited to 8-14 for closest seats. I'm debating buying now, or waiting for the real "ticket sale" for the closer sections. Any ideas?

Just thought I'd say that clips of Viva are being played on NBC's Medium right now, I find it kind of a strange fit, but nice to hear :P Sorry if this is already posted somewhere ^^

Wow you peeps nabs some sweet seats, looks like both Pavillions are gone now. I'll try tomorrow, do they release more tickets?

I was trying for seats in fours... maybe that was my problem, because I got through RIGHT at 10 and they gave me the section 4 row Q "crap"

Snap! I couldn't get better than Section 4 Row Q and now it's all gone... HOW?!? Anyone know if they'll release more tickets for the actual sale tomorrow? :cry:

Gah now I'm getting the waiting room... I had 4 seats in a row in section 8 row Q and thought I could do better... then I got row Z... Now it looks like only singles are available... At least I can buy one from some RESELLERS FOR HUNDRED MORE... Guess I'll see if they release new seats tomorrow for the actual sale... Ugh...

Looks like you guys are getting decent seats :D I can't wait for the MA one tomorrow ;D

I'm going to try to get tickets, though it will be difficult since this date is the ONLY one in New England >.< We did get them twice in Boston recently though :P

Figure I'd post this! My girlfriend's dad was looking into the meaning of Reign of Love and although I'm far from qualifying as an expert lyrical analyst, I did it anyway! Let me know what you think and where it could be improved! Thanks in advance. - - - Reign of Love Lyrical Analysis masterkraig Although I think Viva la Vida or Death and All of His Friends, as an album whole, could mean contrasting life vs. death, but I think it's really a reflection, a journey, showing every part of life from birth(Life in Technicolor) through death(The Escapist). Lovers in Japan to me (put shortly) represents that exact feeling of finding a new love and just having so much fun together. My best interpretation of Reign of Love is that the previous fun did not work out and it reflects and explains the emotion behind the break-up. Reign of love Addressing the previous lover, or love as a whole I can't let go Him/her finding it hard to let go of their previous love To the sea I offer The "sea" as in an endless expanse, or where memories of times past can drift away from him/her This heavy load The memories and love that he/she is trying to move on from Locusts will Lift me up Nothing* can lift me up (but with a small belief that something could**) I'm just a prisoner I'm just stuck In a Reign of Love in this feeling of losing a previous love Locusts will Let us stop Nothing* will allow him/her to stop thinking of the previous love (but with a small belief that something could**) I wish I'd spoken To the Reign of Love He/she wishes they could go back and win their love back Reign of Love Previous love, By the church, we're waiting He/she will wait for them Reign of love Previous love, My knees go praying He/she prays/hopes their come back How I wish I'd spoken up He/she wished they did more to not lose their love Or we'd be carried In the Reign of Love Otherwise he/she would be still be in love. *Locusts are defined in the bible as symbols of insignificance (Numbers 13:33; Ecclesiastes 12:5; Isaiah 40:22; 2 Esdras 4:24). ** Locusts are also known in the bible as one of the "four things which are little upon the earth, but .... are exceeding wise" (Proverbs 30:27), leading me to believe that he/she still knows that something will help things get better.Locust infos didn't come out my ass, it came from http://www.internationalstandardbible.com/L/locust.html

I like it, it's kinda spooky/sexy/mystical with a side of a suave club. It kinda sounds like a Pink Floyd song though, and I'm not too fond of their droning sound. Maybe it's just the "Hello" which sounds like "Is there anybody out there" could follow? Their voices sound nice together, though I was picturing a collaboration to sound a bit more upbeat. I'm still hoping for a Coldplay + Daft Punk collaboration in the future! =D lol
