"... the free tickets will be given away..." They don't really describe how they will be given away. First 500 callers? Enter your name in a hat a certain amount of time beforehand? People camping outside the BBC Radio studios for the longest amount of time? Hmmm...

Hmm. Because I'm a nerd like that, I'd actually be interested in reading the current draft versions of the bills; particularly since the end of the video indicates that the language has gotten much worse since their original interpretation. If this is as potentially bad as claimed, is there going to be some sort of new government entity that would handle searching/shutting down websites/blogs that violate the proposed law(s)? I doubt there is enough manpower for them to handle it right now.

:surprised: Happy Birthday dude!!!

yeah I do agree with that

I'm going to assume you're not referring to the Indian spice here / probably some British term that I do not know

Nothing, really. Although the anti-epileptic medicine I took when I was in elementary school was technically classified as a barbiturate. And a combination of laughing gas and some sort of IV sedation when I had my wisdom teeth out. I find it intriguing the effect the IV sedation has on you. I was "asleep" yet still aware of what was happening, but I just... didn't care. "Oh, you're yanking my teeth out now? Sweet!" And they gave me a bottle of Vicodin to take for a week afterward, but I didn't bother (cuz the bad-arse that I am can handle loads of pain).

Coldplay's influence runs far and wide, personally I think it is great to see how many artists from various genres can appreciate Coldplay's work. Aside from the name of the song itself, it is interesting to see how the beat develops from the sample (shortly after "it doesn't matter who you are..."). [ame=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=anztpDaVOOs]Rockie Fresh - Doesn't Matter (Driving 88) - YouTube[/ame] I think I like it. Thoughts?

Oh, so even if you click play on the NBC link it won't work? I didn't realize NBC were such meanies. :phu:

Huh? It's here... http://www.nbc.com/saturday-night-live/video/weekend-update-garth-and-kat/1368129 <iframe id="NBC Video Widget" width="512" height="347" src="http://www.nbc.com/assets/video/widget/widget.html?vid=1368129" frameborder="0"></iframe>

Canon PowerShot SD780 IS (mine's just plain black) I don't have it on me but I think it's 4"x2", it can easily fit in your pocket. Even when it's in my carrying case it is still smaller than most guys' wallets, and in the case I can carry an extra memory card, usb stick, and extra battery (it takes less than 10 seconds to swap out the battery, I wasn't able to charge the one in the camera before a concert once and swapped out the battery in the middle of it pretty easily).

:surprised: Ohh, that's cool that it is numbered! That probably wasn't in the description, was it? A couple of weeks ago I received the set of 4 Roseland Ballroom "badges" that I ordered; not sure how many of those were made, but those aren't numbered. edit: btw, 6 out of the 10 concerts are now completely sold out.

thunderstorms lol Michigan weather

unfortunately this thread reminds me of a comment that I made re: the Roseland Ballroom shows http://www.coldplaying.com/forum/showthread.php?p=4994991#post4994991

When I get home I'll look at the model I have (some sort of Canon), but it's a really small point-and-shoot and I think the quality is pretty darn good considering that. It has the option to shoot HD vids (most of the ones on my YouTube page you can click up to the HD version). Plus pics themselves turn out pretty good. I can post links to some of my posts here with multiple pics if that would help (and most of those were on the "auto" function, you can probably get better quality when you cutomize the features).

:lol: Wow I can't believe I haven't heard that phrase before! One thing I did notice while I was looking at the Radiohead tickets on Ticketmaster, was that there wasn't a very big price difference between GA and the "best" seats; and even then, the price was still pretty good. It makes me realize how overpriced Coldplay tickets are. Yes, Coldplay have bigger production/more people helping them, but honestly I'm not sure if it justifies that much of a price difference.

Yes, they are actually: http://www.coldplay.com/newsdetail.php?id=851 Considering this, do you still want to propose your ticket swap? I'm not sure the ticket swap is really intended for an alternate artist swap anyway.

^ Awww, that's sweet. In that case, if they do come here then you have to come too! Seriously, Detroit is the root of so much music it's basically musical blasphemy that they don't come here.

Well then, that makes three Detroiters here. :nod:

^ Last night on the show Saturday Night Live (they were pretending to cry while an Adele song was playing)

Just out of curiosity, I went on Ticketmaster a few minutes ago to check availability for the Arizona show. General Admission is all sold out. Best seats available are nosebleeds furthest from the stage.

There were rumors several months ago that they were going to perform at the opening ceremony of the Olympics (late July)... any more word on whether that will actually happen?

I'd like to remind everyone that it is in your best interest to check the first post regularly for people that may have tickets to sell, since we do NOT have the responsibility for matching people up. * ready, set, go*

Sweet! I like the wallpaper on his twitter page. :D

:surprised: Can you post a screenshot or something?
