The Storm was a nutjob who used to try to fix polls at Gas3X just because he wanted to prove the superiority of his pet album. He went overboard once or twice (as did I) but apparently, he stopped liking the Stones. He had real issues with Mick and the direction of the band. |

Two whacko posters -- the guy that huffed gas and other household inhalants -- I think he is dead!
and a guy named Storm, or Sucked Jugular -- he had a couple of names. glencar and he were not the closest, warmest buddies!! I didn't care for him either. He had to leave Keno's board after he rigged some poll. |

"Stopped liking the Stones"

I have a friend in Kansas who stopped following the Stones because she couldn't afford the high tix prices. But she never stopped loving them. I guess you could grow out of something but it does seem bizarre in regards to the Stones. |

LOL nanker, he & I started off on the wrong foot & never got on the right one. I did try once but he was having no part of it. Grudges are bad things. |

I am trying to figure out what to wear.
According to Le Club des Stones -www.sympathyforthedevils.com - the Stones will hold a press conference in NYC that day. So they're more than likely to be at the premiere.
However, if you want to go the safer way, crash the conference before crashing the premiere. It does take some training to aim the head of a security guard with those tiny DVD packages.
(not the right info here, see correction below. sorry...)

That seals the deal for me. I can be in NYC by air in less than 1 hour. Who's with me???

Remember in the Being Mick DVD when he entered on the red carpet for a world premier of a film then he snuck out the back door and watched it from is comfort of his hotel room.
Can't Be Seen... |

Ohhhh, Lady Jane,
i am emailing you. I think we should do this. Middle of the week, still nice weather. Get your ass on that plane, I will pick you up at the airport. |
|
|
| luxury1 |
OK, so who can tell me when/where and what time will the press conference and premiere be taking place??
I've lost Mick's number. |
|
|
| caro |
oops...I translated/understood wrong : they will be in NYC, but only for the screening of some extracts from the DVD, so no mention of a press conference before or after the premiere. Sorry about that ! |

Stones to Party in New York
Wed Oct 22, 6:27 PM ET Add Entertainment - Reuters to My Yahoo! By Carla Hay
NEW YORK (Billboard) - The Rolling Stones and Best Buy are throwing a party Oct. 29 in New York to celebrate the release of the band's four-DVD set "Four Flicks," which the retail giant is selling exclusively for four months.
The DVD release party will be held at Capitale, a nightclub/restaurant in New York's Chinatown neighborhood. The Rolling Stones and other celebrities will be in attendance.
"Four Flicks" -- which Stones tour promoter Michael Cohl's TGA Entertainment will release Nov. 10 in Europe and Nov. 11 in the U.S. and Canada -- has over five hours of mostly previously unreleased footage from the band's 2002-2003 Licks world tour. The DVD set will sell at a U.S. retail price of $29.99.
A sneak preview of "Four Flicks" is on Best Buy's "Coming Attractions" free promotional DVD, which is being given away this month to Best Buy customers who purchase any CD, DVD or video game.

But do you think they will let you through at the airport with 20 of those big white things like in your avatar lined up inside your suitcase? |
|
|
| Jumacfly |
good point Caro....that s not a problem, i m like Obelix I felt into it when i was young!!!!
anyway what s up in Paris??
here in montpellier EVERYTHING IS OK.... |
|
|
| caro |
But what gift will you bring to your fellow ROffers then? You can't bring wine because it costs taxes, and if you take cheese with you, the...uh, vitamines won't survive the flight.
oh, in Paris it's raining, as usual |
|
|
| LadyJane |
When the Hell is Best Buy going to call me to tell me I won??!!
Seriously....has anyone heard anything about the results of the contest??

Well, now that you mention it, I used the "contact us" link on the BestBuy site yesterday to see if/when a winner will be selected. Here's the response I got:
"Thank you for contacting Best Buy about your promotion inquiry. I'm Stephen with Customer Care.

I was amazed! The level of support is beyond their capabilities??? What a bunch of chimps!
Okay, so I fire back this:
"Thanks for responding.
I checked the BestBuy website, but all of the links to the Official Rules are dead.
I highly doubt your retail stores know anything about it as it was a web-based sweepstakes.
Thanks anyway"
------------
I got this back:
"We appreciate your concern about the draw for the Stones 4 Flicks Premier sweepstakes.
If there is no information regarding this promotion on the web site, that means we are not currently doing those sweepstakes.
Thank you for sharing your comments with Best Buy. Please do not hesitate to contact us with additional questions or concerns.
Best wishes from Best Buy,
Stephen and the Customer Care Team"
----
Frustrated, I sent the following:
"I hate to be a jerk -- but the sweepstakes closed three days ago and the premier is next week -- what do you mean you are not currently doing the sweepstakes?? Are you guys on drugs or something? Get with the freakin program! At some point between last Sunday and next week (the 29th), someone has to win YOUR contest. Either there has not yet been a drawing (in which case, I am trying to figure out when it will be) or you have already picked a winner (in which case I am trying to figure out if it is me).
How can you guys not know your own website/contests??"
---------
Stephen and the Customer Care team (of chimps) have yet to respond!!

Nice work Nanky, and thanks for sharing.
I always get way too worked up regarding the Stones and contests. I remember in '75 you could send in postcards to win tickets, and I filled out 1,000 of those things, and hand-decorated them with the Stones Lick. I dont think I got any homework done that week.
and no tickets either. |

Ju, did you read that story of a guy who sent himself to his parents via air-mail, so he wouldn't have to pay for a plane ticket? He was delivered to his parent's house in a big wooden box, and the mailman freaked out when he saw the package start to knock and shake. The guy came out of it, smiling like a retard cos he was so glad he was still alive, and rushed towards his parents' bathroom without saying a word.
Nanky, how will you make up for your last answer, if the next e-mail you get is "Dear customer, I just checked with Mr.Buy himself. You won. Stephen." ? |
