@Elena- Ooooh, thanks for posting that video.. I'll definitely watch it! @Michael- it's a hilarious show. Meredith's right, Barney (Neil Patrick Harris) is a great character.

@Michael- Really? So you got something quite different then, at your show. It seemed like they were alternating between You Could Be Happy and Finish Line. We got YCBH in Austin; Houston got the Finish Line. love them all... too bad they couldn't play them all! and @Kimmi- LOVE HIMYM!!! edit: sorry for all the acronyms. I'm lazy today. :P

:lol: yeah, I could see how that animation would be :awesome: while you're tripping! :lol: And "bleeding awsomeness". Awesome. :laugh3: I didn't like SACIT at all when I first heard it. Now I kind of love it.

ooooh, so fantastic! Thanks for sharing it! I didn't really get to see most of the LS animation. The venue they played at here was kind of weird and they didn't have their screen behind them, as they usually do. It was actually over our heads like a tent (over maybe the first 4 rows out from the stage). So, if you wanted to watch the effects for the different songs or the animation from Lightning Strike you literally had to look up completely away from the stage. It hurt my neck and I couldn't see the guys while I was watching, so I didn't get to see a lot of it!

that's a great video.... esp since you captured the band's reaction! Thanks for sharing it! My favorite line: Those three words are said too much, they're not enough... :heart: That's better! :whip: :P I hope you know I'm just teasing you! :hug:

Yes, it was incredibly nice of them! They were really sweet. I swear, SP and Coldplay fans are the nicest people in the world! :nice: :dozey:

@Meredith- posting videos from youtube is really easy. Just go to the vid and copy the URL, then, when you open a reply window, click on the world icon and paste the URL. You can check that it worked by hitting Go Advanced. It won't show the video embedded in the preview, just the link, but it'll embed in the actual post. :) Edit: Great pics, Michael! Good luck with your paper! and... I have satellite radio on in the other room... Chasing Cars just started! :wacky:

Goodnight, Giulls! :hug:

Bad, Imke! :whip: ha. just kidding, you know I love Muse, too! :heart: Glad you're liking Final Straw! :heart: this song gets such a bad rap from so many fans, but it really is just a gorgeous song. :wacky: Thanks, Elena! Yes, it was beautiful live. and what's with all the "Mary" stuff, you and Bianca keep talking about?! Spill it! :hug: Don't worry, Meredith, I don't think you offended anyone! And I really lucked out for that concert. A couple of weeks before the gig I started chatting with a couple of girls from the SP forums who were coming in to Austin for the show. They started queueing at NOON and saved me a spot (they were the first people there), so when I got there at 5:30, they let me right in the front of the line with them. We were first in and got incredible spots in front of Gary. :heart: Thanks! and yesssss!!! :wink3:

You're right, Kimmi- it's actually pretty good! and this: "But, you know, I understand, it's got to be weird to have one of your songs get bastardized and show up all over the radio without your knowledge or whatever. Anyway, in an amusing aside, he reveals it was his mom who first told him about it: "I had no idea what she was talking about.. but turns out she was right." Funny imaging that conversation: "Nate, sweetie, I hair yer pretty song on the rayydio this fair mornin', but it be all sullied with Sting I tell ya!" "Aw, ma, is ya on the sauce again?!" "Nah I tell ya, 'tis true: Sting, plain as day!" oh, that totally cracked me up!!! :laugh3::laugh3::laugh3::laugh3:

aaahhhhh it was an INCREDIBLE show! Oct. 6th here in Austin I KNOOOOOWWWW!!!!!!:wacky::bomb::dead: Why do you think the video abruptly cut off! I couldn't stand looking at him thru the camera... had to see him close up!! Come party, Jo! :hug: One of my faves, too! and soooo beautiful live!

here's my version of Gary jumping off the stage... http://www.flickr.com/photos/92995851@N00/3991136816/in/set-72157622413272959/ sorry, I haven't figured out how to embed video from flickr yet. :\

[ame= ] [/ame] You could Be Happy from the show I went to in Austin. this isn't my video, BUT, you can see me at about 1:15ish... the shorter, dark-haired head at Gary's shoulder... He jumped off the stage to sing to a guy one person down from me! :wacky: @Meredith- Chasing Cars was played ALOT here (I'm in TX), but honestly, it's the ONLY SP song I've ever heard on the radio here. :(

Ha! Ok, a microphone... that makes sense! and yeah, that Crack the Shutters video is incredible quality! Looks amazing!! Is it just me, or is Crack the Shutters basically a sexier (and better) version of "Your Body is A Wonderland" by John Mayer? so cool that you were there! :wacky: I had already heard it before Grey's, but loved it when I heard it on there. Grey's also introduced me to In the Sun- the version by Chris and Michael Stipe. :heart: I dislike Grey's, but they play some great music! and... Hey, Merryberry, I'm Jen! :nice:

Giulls, is this from when they opened for U2?

Thanks! I hadn't seen either of these! I think I prefer the UK version. :nice:

Yay! Party! :dance::dance: I'm late, but I'm here! :D need to catch up on the vids and interviews... Nathan's so cute squashed into that little corner! I don't think Gary looks worried... I think he's annoyed by that girl invading his personal space! She's practically sitting in his lap! and speaking of laps, what is that big fuzzy thing she's got? Ooohhh... haven't heard the remix! and Thanks, Nicky! See, someone's being nice! ;)

:cheesy: A party?? Yay!! :dance::dance: I may be a little late, but I'll be here! Excellent idea, Bianca and Elena! :hug: :dance::dance::dance: oh, and Bianca... here are the promised Round 2 questions... Which member of the band is left-handed, all of the others being Right-handed? Which Scottish festival have SP played most often, appearing on all of the main stages? Which artists collaborated with SP on Set the Fire to the Third Bar? Which 2004 single is this artwork from? (only without the title showing, obviously!) Name the track that opens the 2004 album, Final Staw. Name Gary's side project that released two albums between 2001 and 2003 and mainly involved Scottish musicians from the Glasgow music scene? Before Snow Patrol, the band were named a similar arctic theme, what was that name? Complete the name of Snow Patrol's debut album "Songs for _____"? What lyric is missing from this Snow Patrol song clip? (played a brief clip with a line beeped out)... I'll let Elena tell you what song it was, I didn't know it. Which Snow Patrol track has gone on to sell over 2 million downloads in the United States? OK... I think that was all of them. Thanks for the party... I hope I don't miss it all!! :dance:

So, it's a week-long birthday party! More shots! Hope it was a Happy Day, Angie! :hug:

Liz, that was amazing! Lauren- Happy, Happy, Happy Day! Enjoy your 18th!! Here's Chris and Guy belting out "Happy Birthday to You" just for you! :hug:

^yeah, we get the single download, but they get the awesome boxed set! :P

^EXACTLY, Brooke! well, between Shiver, Clocks, and Don't Panic for me, anyway! :heart: thanks for the links, Juan!

aw, thanks Bianca! :kiss: thanks so much for your help! goodnight! :hug: edit: and I'll post up the questions for you, too! x

:lol: Imke- I'm with you. Elena and Bianca are saving me right now! :hug: One last question, Bianca- which Scottish festival have the band played more than any other. Elena was thinking T in thePark. is that right?

no, I don't think so.. I was just wondering if maybe there was also a guest instrumentalist, too...?
