OOHHHHHHZZZZ *derp* obviously you can see how much I've been paying attention ( = 0.00) to the official ticket sales :tongue:

Out of curiosity, did your sister receive some sort of notification that she won? And if so, how long after the competition ended? Or did she not receive any notification and it just magically arrived in the mail one day?

Apparently it is a special sticker that came with the vinyl single. Or maybe it didn't come with it, but regardless the dude is sending it along with the vinyl. YAY

COLD YAY ENTIRE MIDWEST WE SO HARDCORE

Yip. Quite a big change considering it was +12C two days ago. / lol Michigan weather

^ Yeah, I'm just a little bit north of you, so we'll get clipped by the storm too. I think it will be mostly snow up here though. It got down to 0F (-18C) here last night. * a little chilly compared to the warm weather we've had lately *

I occasionally peek on ebay (for nothing in particular), and stumbled across something with 0 bids. I took my chances and came in as the only bidder... snatched it up for a penny less than $3, not bad! http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=150736978886

:| http://www.benjerry.com/bonnaroobuzz/ sorry, just had to post that

But by the looks of it, they're not coming to Detroit. :bigcry: I mean, wtf, they have to pass THROUGH Detroit to get from Toronto to Chicago! Why not just stop here and play! That would save all of us Detroiters from polluting the environment because we have to travel elsewhere! I thought they were all tree-hugger-y, don't they care about that!?! / rant edit: Okay, so I suppose they don't necessarily have to go through Detroit when going from Toronto to Chicago, they might pass through Port Huron instead (the border crossing which is further north). But that would still mean they would likely come down I-75, which means they could easily play at DTE amphitheater on the way (which conveniently is only about 15 minutes from me). AAAARRRRGGGHH DAMN YOU RADIOHEAD

I looked at some of the reviews for the Chicago venue, and quite a few of them said that the security there was awful, pretty much nonexistent. D:

And of course, no Detroit. Looks like I'll be heading to Chicago...

Well according to Rihanna's twitter, it's official: they will be performing PoC with her.

Although one would think she would know how to properly show the name of the band after working with them. :| / the p should not be capitalized My friends @ColdPlay and I will be sharing the stage for a performance at this years Annual Grammy Awards!

Although I'm not a fan of the song, it would be interesting to see how Chris and Rihanna interact on stage; so in that sense, yes I'm looking forward to it. I predict Chris' behavior will be that of an awkward schoolboy.

Do schools actually let people reference wikipedia as an "official source" for research papers? D:

No, you can do it today, just use Connor's little trick. :cheesy: *it really does work, I tried it*

derp (again)

It has officially been one year. Thank you to everyone here who helped steer me down the righteous path that is Radiohead.

derp

I don't think it would be appropriate to have an "exclusive" type of thing; there are LOADS of fans who aren't members here, so she would still get the duplicate questions anyway. That would just unnecessarily make more work for her. However, you can always visit this thread and see if a fellow Coldplayer can help out with an unanswered question: http://www.coldplaying.com/forum/showthread.php?t=69390 And for those who aren't fond of the non-Coldplay questions... I think the Oracle section of coldplay.com has always this: So it shouldn't be a surprise that she answers non-Coldplay and odd-ball questions. Personally I think that makes it more fun, but that's just me (although I'm pretty sure other people feel the same).

this is adorable :cheesy: edit: Ah, memories. It has now officially been one year for me since I entered the lovely world of Radiohead via IR: http://www.coldplaying.com/forum/showthread.php?p=4668050#post4668050

:dance: Yay, congrats!

Are you going to make a snowman? :wacko:

MIKE YOU NEED TO GO TO COACHELLA; IF YOU DON'T YOU'LL LOOK BACK WITH REGRET. I WILL FLY TO NY JUST TO KICK YOUR BUTT IF YOU DON'T GO. (Radiohead, Other Lives, Modeselektor, amongst many others all in one place... you can't possibly pass that up) Anywho, Mike I had the same fears for the longest time before I finally decided to fly on a plane. Once you get that first time out of the way, you'll wonder why you waited so long. Sure, it's certainly not my most favorite thing to do, but I no longer have the major fears that I used to. Personally I prefer the window seat, that way I 1) don't get bumped by people in the aisle, and 2) am not sandwiched between two people (if it's a 3-seat row), and 3) won't be bothered by the person(s) next to me getting up to use the restroom. I can put a pillow against the wall and go to sleep. And if the issue is that you don't want to look out the window... all you need to do is pull down the window cover. I'm not a huge fan of taking off, but I actually really like landing. :| I don't know why. I look out the window the entire time during the landing process, I think it's cool. As far as tips... Get to the airport really early, especially since it is your first time. That way you have plenty of time to have your bags checked, go through screening, etc. It might be a good idea to look at the FAA rules for what you can/can't take on the plane. This may seem odd, but take some time to look out the terminal windows and watch plenty of planes take off and land. It will make you feel better, seeing that everything happens so smooth. I've never needed gum for the ear-popping thing. It doesn't happen very often with me, and when it does I simply fake-yawn to take care of it. The engines are pretty loud. Take your iPod with you. Take some reading and/or writing material with you (or play games on your iPod) to keep you occupied. Take a travel pillow with you in case you decide to take a nap. I imagine NY-California will be a 4-ish hour flight. With this in mind you should really try to get up an take a walk down the isle a few times during the flight, or at the very least stand up and stretch. This helps with circulation and prevents blood clots in your legs (I know that sounds bad, but you want tips and that really is an important one that too many people [e.g., Heavy D] brush off). Get a non-stop flight. I did a connecting flight once and it was annoying. Plus if the first flight is running behind, depending on the amount of time until your next flight you run the risk of missing the next flight. Just go straight from Point A to Point B to avoid any potential stress. That's all I can think of at the moment... I'll add to the list if anything else comes to mind.
