Chriss

The one about the gifts is one I hadn't even thought of. Thanks for that! I'll also ask the other questions as well. Thanks!

PS - And of course, I'll tell her you said hi.

There's a chance I'll be interviewing Tonight Alive on Saturday before their show in NYC. Does anyone have any questions if I do?

I meticulously kept track of my CD collection growing up. Now I just kind of estimate how many more I've gotten and add it to the last real number I remember, haha. I have some vinyl albums, but those are a little more expensive to collect. I'll PM you my mailing address in a little bit, and if the band could sign the CD, that's an even bigger bonus! Make sure you let them know they've got some fans in the US already thanks to you and Ross. If you ever need someone to pick up a magazine or CD that is only available in the US, let me know. I'd be happy to return the favor.

I am a bit of both (but mostly old school, with a collection of 450+ CDs) - I prefer CDs but if there's absolutely no way to get one, then I'll settle for digital. If you were to send me a physical copy, I would gladly pay you back for it.

Awesome! So is this new EP going to be released in the US? I'd gladly check it out.

You're right about that. She always seems so mature for her age when I talk to her, so sometimes I forget that I'm seven years older than she is. I miss my sisters, brother, and mom, and they're only a couple hours away. I can't imagine being half a world away from them for the good part of a year. I've seen Jen bummed out after a show before, and she always bounces back to be the same sweet, positive person. If I can write her a letter and brighten her day the way her music often does for mine, I'm more than happy to do so.

Any time! I almost bought an Altered Sky shirt online just now, but sadly, the shipping put it a little over for me. Soon though!

I think you're right about our music tastes! Haha, at least if the band does well at the ice hockey match, there's one win there for the day.

Speaking of Jenna, I've heard she's been feeling a little down lately. Not sure why, but she's such a sweetheart and I hate seeing her like that. I'm planning on writing her note and giving it to her at the NYC show next Saturday. Maybe it'd be nice if a few people wrote her letters to cheer her up. If anyone's interested, I'll DM you my email address, you can send me a note, and I'll print them out before the show.

Also, I saw them on two of their opening dates for You Me At Six and they were better than I've ever seen them! I can't wait to see them at their first SOLD OUT American headliner. They've come a long way from playing for, maybe, 30 people at Warped Tour 2012 to now, and I'm pretty proud of them.

So many cool things going on in the Altered Sky universe! Wow!

Not sure how far off a visit to America is for them, but I'd be at whatever shows I could be if they came over.

Not to mention, PF.com featured them as our Band To Watch before our current BTW, Tonight Alive.

Here's the feature, if you want to check it out. Ross did an awesome job with it:

I'm already a fan on Facebook, but I'll go follow them on Twitter as well.

I've been hearing about Altered Sky for quite some time, as Ross is a huge fan/friend of the band as well. This new video is pretty awesome, and I'm psyched that they're getting attention from Kerrang! for it!

Do they have a label or do they do all of this themselves? If that's the case, I'm amazed!

chris you seeing tonight alive also me to im seeing them on sunday!!!! 

Yup! I just saw them twice this weekend and will be seeing them again in two weeks. They're sounding better than ever live. Have fun!!

Chris i wasnt trying to call to see if i won i was just calling to make sure that they werent like given out already and stuff because people were going around saying oh they all been handed out im 100 percent sure i got sources blah blah so i just wanted to hear it straight from the correct person i dont like hearing rumors plus i had a more important question for them why i called also

No, I know you weren't, but you mentioned that the woman you talked to was able to check. I just don't want to give anybody any ideas. As for the sources saying they'd been given out, that was me and my source was Fly South, lol. Things just changed in the week since I'd asked them.

I've cleared things up with Fly South... the original plan was to send out all m&g emails a couple weeks ago, but things got hung up and they are currently sending them out a week or so in advance. That is the official word as of right now. Things could change (and they are hoping they do), but I guess they overestimated the time it would take to select all those winners.

So, Jamison, the latest you heard from them is correct. That said, please let's just be patient with it now. Just cause one person got through on the phone, please don't everyone else call now too to see if you won a m&g. Good luck to everyone!

I called the management company that does the meet and greet for paramore and they said they havent been all handed out yet there gonna hand them out most likely like a week or 2 before each show they said they asked me what date im going to i said NOV 5th Orlando FL one and she like no that one hasent been handed out yet and any twitter account or rumors you herd arent true only trust us plus someone from like the 2nd show of the tour i think it was said they didnt get there till like a day or 2 or 3 before the show so i think something must of changed 

Who did you speak with at their management company? Cause I got that answer direct from Mark Mercado and his office manager Lauren. I know them well enough to know they wouldn't lie to me. Twenty people out of thousands who bought presale tickets from each show are being picked for m&g... I'm sure about 75% aren't even active in the online community and we won't hear from them.

I spoke to Paramore's manager last week (October 7th) and was told: "The winners for the first few shows have been contacted, the rest of the winners will be contacted by the end of this week." Unless something happened between then and the end of last week, that's what's up.

I want all of that merch. I may have to splurge on that hoodie cause it looks awesome!

so apparently i won meet and greet....

 

Congratulations! Have you ever met the band before?

No, Catie, it's the same day as the show in Camden, which is funny. They're gonna drive all the way from Orlando to NYC, passing Camden entirely, and then drive back down for the show, lol. I guess if it works, haha.

It's probably gonna be "Still Into You," seeing as it's climbing up the charts at the moment. I don't think they're trying to appeal to long-time fans by doing GMA, so it would be dumb if they didn't play the catchy song that everybody is hearing on the radio right now. I'm stoked for them though, and I hope I'm able to tune in to watch it that morning. I think the live acts usually go on between 8:30 and 9am.

I was watching BBC America today and saw a ton of commercials for the 50th Anniversary Special. Only two months to go!

Here it is! I have to say, over the past week, this song has really grown on me. The video looks great as well.

Maybe it's the illuminati trifecta of pop stars, lol.

They're great live. You're going to enjoy them.

Beyonce especially. She is their supreme ruler or something. 

You're a much better student than I was. I would just skip class and then worry about it later, lol.

Here it is on YouTube if anyone wants to watch it there...

I looked up that torrent, and it was 5.6GB... way too much for my computer to handle at the moment.
