I don't know where we're staying yet, but I know my dad loves the Marriott, so that may be a possibility... As far as cool things to do on the 8th, there's ALWAYS something to do in Chicago, it just depends on your personal taste. You could hang out by the lake on the beach, do some tourist-y stuff, like going to the top of the Sears Tower. Things like that. Also, be sure to explore the restaurants. Chicago cuisine is lovely! :D

Sooo...in the spirit of the challenge kickoff on Monday, let's sound off about our favorite albums and why! I'll go first: I love Viva because it's the first one I ever listened to. I became a fan during that era! It has sentimental value.... :D

That's a really cool video! Nice find! :)

^Yaaaay! :) Keep spreading the word! I'm interested to see what this little experiment holds for us!

^Sweet! :)

Awesome! That makes four of us! :D

^ Yep! Let's start on Monday! :D

Feel free to try it out! I'm gonna do it regardless, but it would be neat if other Coldplayers joined in! :)

Guess who's gonna be in front of the tv on Saturday night? :P

I saw this on a fan site for a different band, and I thought it would be cool if we tried it out! So, if you choose to accept the challenge, here is your task: Starting this monday, we'll assign a coldplay album to each day. Here's the order: Monday--Parachutes Tuesday--A Rush of Blood to the Head Wednesday-- X&Y Thursday--Viva La Vida or Death and All His Friends Friday--Mylo Xyloto (This works perfectly with five albums!) Each day, you must listen to the assigned album at least once all the way through. Then, for the rest of the day, the only music you're allowed to listen to is music from that given era (so b-sides are fair game). At the end of each day, notate your feelings/thoughts about said album (feel free to sound off about the current day on this thread). The music might even change your mood for that day, so note that down as well. At the end of the week, we'll get on this thread and discuss whether or not our opinions changed about any of the albums, or were simply solidified. I'll post a poll to see if anybody's favorite album changed! EDIT: THE POLL HAS BEEN POSTED! PLEASE DON'T VOTE UNTIL THE END OF THE WEEK! (or whenever you finish the challenge.) :D I know this challenge will be hard for me, because although I love coldplay, a whole week of just their music seems impossible...but I'm gonna give it try! :P Sooooo.....WHO'S GAME? :D

I'm going to the chicago show on August 7th! I'll shoot you an email and participate! :D

Ahhhhh! That's awesome! And now we wait for a reaction... ;) Great job, Joana! AJDKLJAKLDFJKA;JF THE BOYS MIGHT SEE IT!!!! :D

Have we heard anything from any Coldplay people yet?? I'm still excited! :D

I don't know if there's already a thread for this, but I've always thought it was fun to do! I'll start! I'll See You Soon, Brothers & Sisters! Don't Panic! I Ran Away to Violet Hill at High Speed to Fix You. Hehehe. That was fun! ;)

When all of your christmas presents are Coldplay-related! And you're totally happy about it! :D

I'd vote for Twisted Logic, DLIBYH, or Death and All His Friends. DLIBYH seems most likely to actually be played, though.... BTW: Amsterdam is a good choice! ;)

Oh, don't worry. We're not going to let them get away without seeing this! Your hard work will not go to waste! ;)

Maybe we should put it in the exhibition room? Just a thought.... ;)

^^THIS. If anybody deserves to be next month's coldplayer, it's you Joana! :)

Haha! Them replying today would be a REAL Christmas miracle! :P

I'm sooo excited! :D I wonder when they'll see it!

Haha! I'm on the front of the video! :P It's really great Joana! :)

THAT WAS AMAZING!!!! Joana, you did a splendid job! Thank you so much for putting that together! :D

WE MUST MASSIVE TWEET!
