@ Kate - so do I. I seem to be a Post Perfectionist but refrain from editing simply because of how it shows up...honestly I do not know how to remove that function. I guess it's good in an argument though so the person can't pull a big incriminating edit on you @ Is - I have absolutely no idea how that worked; it definitely had nothing to do with me. @ Robyn - I agree. And i have to admit i preferred Steve's news. I've never seen Steve live anyway! D: I can't possibly think in either LAR or Placebo's case, how any further windows can top the post from the first day..... we'll just have to wait and see.

Indeedy yes. I think we can safely declare this News Spam Thread as well as discussion I don't see why not. Plus, i'd love to go to a small gig like that, and it would have to be tiny because despite the huge amount of fans, eventually we're down to the UKers, the richer people, the absolute obsessives from back in the day, and narrowing that to who can make it on the night Just better not be further than London or i stand no chance of being able to promote us

i have to admit, of the 2 online advent calanders that have come out today......im TOTALLY loving Steve's more. you can tell he's done it, rather than getting worker bee's to do it, its far more personal. its not flashy, and the connection with the fans is totoally there, its his time he's putting into it rahter than other peoples time <3 Damn right, Robyn Edit: And don't forget I am pretty much in the middle; also (comparatively) rich, obsessed, and determined to go to every single gig! Robyn - would you care to share your whoring idea with me too? *flutters her mod's eyelashes* And I'm sure Zee will also be more than willing/able to whore as well - and I mean that in the best sense of the word *lol* ;D

whereever he plays his first gig in the uk I WILL be there - and at as many others as I can manage. I'd be happy to promote the forum while I'm there Incidentally I'm handing our LAR flyers at the placebo gigs next week so I'll be promoting us while I'm doing that poetress x

Erm, first I have to design it!! Then I have to figure out how to upload it... but I will try and put it on the site for you. To be honest, it's only going to be a black and white thing that I can surreptitiously print and photocopy at work. The plan is to have one side promoting the band and official webpages and then the other side with fan sites on it - probably here and rougevelevt's live journal page. I've pretty much got it together now, just need to play about with the formatting a bit. Although there is a chance I will have official band leaflets to hand out, but I don't find out for sure until tomorrow (hopefully). When I know what I'm handing out I'll post on here (specially if it does turn out to be official ) if I can work out the technical bit... poetress x

^have you thought of putting Steve's facebook pages on?
if they go down a treat and steve gives us the go-ahead, would you be willing to send us the design and ill get them printed off from proper flyer people, and send them around to people at gigs (im going to try and be at as many as possiable) to be handed out, and that way colour can be added too (maybe Sin City style)

Likewise to this, if the band don't have anything particular to supply for their publicity i have one arm delved into PhotoShop half the time and can whiz something up the day before any show Between us all we will make sure they get the appropriate publicity against all odds edit: well that delayed posting about an hour o.O

yeah, 'official pages' in my mind means his facebook fanpage (not the personal one cos he wanted to steer people away from that) and the myspace and maybe his twitter. If I end up having to design something myself I'll gladly send the file anyone who wants them to print off, improve or whatever Basically, the idea occured to me on Friday and I've been trying to arrange this in my lunch hours at work since then. I was going I only really contacted Steve out of courtesy cos I felt kind of uncomfortable with how he might feel about me touting his band at a placebo gig... He's very definitely ok with it Anyway, I will be at Birmingham, London and Bridlington all day and if anyone here has time/skills to produce something more eyecatching than a black and white leaflet please do and I'll be happy to hand it out. Anything that gets LAR advertised is a good thing poetress x
