Oy. Marisa, I think I might just start a new picture thread that won't devolve into squabbling... EDIT: Thanks, bjaiken :)

Can everyone just shut up with the arguing? It's unpleasant and unflattering. If you can't celebrate anything else, celebrate the fact that there was a peaceful transfer of power today. Or go fight via PMs or something, because this is not why this thread was created...

Again, MrNick, can you please take your debate elsewhere? I'm sure people would love to argue with you on a different thread, but you're just kind of ruining the excitement on this one! :\ MARISA!!! I WANT TO SHOW THEM TO YOU!!!!! :P I'm still working on getting them off of my camera, though... I'll post them sometime tonight :) EDIT: GUYS I FORGOT TO SHARE: I was just watching Countdown on MSNBC, and they had a video montage of the inauguration today, and it was set to Viva la Vida! I freaked out :lol:

I didn't boo for Bush, but I sure as hell wasn't clapping! No one on the Capitol really booed, it was just the giant mass of people on the Mall that got a little out of hand. I loved the parts of Obama's speech that attacked Bush's policies, though, those were incredible! The second Obama completed the oath today, I burst out sobbing and couldn't stop for about 10 minutes! I cried through his whole speech too- the whole morning was so surreal and incredible, I think we were all in shock. And wait until I tell you guys about the Metro and the security lines, I think I'm going to have nightmares about them for years :stunned: :P EDIT: I could see and hear exactly what was going on, and I wouldn't change the experience for the world! To be there, at that moment, with all of those people... It's indescribable! But I can understand where you're coming from :)

^Tell me about it! We were so pissed off when we first got there, but then we realized that we were still at Obama's inauguration! And we still had a better view than about 2 million people, so we couldn't complain.

Alright, I just have two pictures for now: My "golden ticket" :P and my view:

^ Yeah, I told the people around me to "be civilized" :P most of us who had tickets and were on the Capitol were better behaved, though, because it felt much more serious and important up there than I think it did a mile back among two million other people...

Oh, no I thought the booing and "goodbye"-ing were wrong, I meant the "Ted-dy, Ted-dy"s and "O-ba-ma,O-ba-ma"s shouldn't have been blocked out! I hate Bush as much as anyone (more, actually), but I thought it was immature to boo him :rolleyes: EDIT: I agree Chelsea... I think it's very wrong to assume that people didn't vote because they didn't think either candidate would make a difference.

I'm uploading my pics now :nice: Not only was FORMER PRESIDENT Bush booed, but people were also singing "na na na na, hey hey hey, goodbye" for about 5 minutes. People also booed FORMER VP Cheney. We started a chant when Teddy Kennedy walked out, and lots of Obama chants... we were quite vocal, I can't believe they blocked us out! :mean:

*stumbles in* Hey everyone! I just returned from the inauguration- it was the most incredible experience of my life! I had a ticket wayyyy up front, but unfortunately my view was blocked by the stupid risers :angry: I still had a great spot and was right in front of a Jumbotron, so I didn't miss anything :D I haven't looked through this thread yet, so I'm not sure if I should post my pictures here, in the old thread, or in a new one, but I DO want to share them! Right now I seriously need to go warm up, eat, and rest a little bit, but then I'll come back with stories and pictures galore ;)

Just saw it for the first time... I don't know what other people thought, but I would've liked it more without all of those sound effects! It took away from the song, in my opinion :\

.... ........ HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA That's funniest thing I've read in a long time... EDIT: WAIT WAIT WAIT Their names are Bob, Rusty, Speaker, and Barb WIRE?!?! This has to be some kind of parody... This guy can't be serious!

:laugh3: :laugh3: :laugh3: Well good luck to everyone who can enter! I'm jealous... But make sure a Coldplayer wins, not some random person! :P

So I just fell asleep listening to Glass of Water, which is a) very impressive, considering how loud it is and b) shows just how tired I am. So I think I need to leave all of you and go to sleep :bigcry: I'll check back here tomorrow so I can meet 'the friend'! *waves* Good night!

'Glass of water'!!! Now I need to listen to the song!

^ Live 2003 Tour Diary!

Yes, ONE DAY!!!! *tries to calm down* ...... *CAN'T calm down*

AAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHH! You just HAD to break out my favorite bit of Chris video ever! Now I'm seriously dying! I guess this is what happens when Coldplayers are forced to entertain themselves, yeah? We post hot pics until we self-destruct! :laugh3: EDIT: Dear Marisa's friend: Listen to A Rush of Blood to the Head. It'll change your life! :nice:

Man, all we were trying to do was welcome your friend to the forum, and we've just managed to destroy ourselves with overly hot Chris pictures! By the time she gets here we'll all be dead and/or she'll be seriously freaked out :lol: EDIT: Ahhh it's past midnight! *changes sig* ONE MORE DAYYYYYYY! *ahem* Sorry, it's a little exciting :P

Aw, I probably won't be here when she gets on, I'm wayyyyyy too tired. Inauguration concerts do that to you ;) I'll hang around for 20-ish more minutes :nice:

Whenever I see that Q picture... I can't look away... :dead: I should be sleeping, I've never been so tired in my life, but now I can't stop looking at Chris pictures!

BAM. Here you go, Marisa!

Yes yes yes yes! :wacky: I like that one... *stares for hours* :wideeyed:

:laugh3: :laugh3: :laugh3: Man, I haven't been to this thread in a while! I need to catch up... Fun! :sneaky:

Ahhh, the Q pic from the Q awards? I bought that issue just for those pictures... *drools* Good idea Marisa! *looks for Chris pics*
