THIS IS IMPORTANT PLEASE READ THIS.



With the new season we're making up some new rules and trying out something different. For right now, our watch posts will be the same. We'll have them for east coast and west coast on Idol nights, and spoilers should absolutely not find their way into the WC post or we'll cut out your butt hole.

Here's where the new part comes in: WE WILL BE HAVING DAILY POSTS FOR IDOL NEWS. These will be all-purpose dump posts for articles, tweets, pictures, videos, etc. These posts are free-for-alls with an emphasis on Idol info. If you want to talk about Cash Cab in them or something though nobody will get mad. The Daily News Posts will be for regular news, updates, off topic and non-spoiler on topic discussion.

We realize the term "regular news" is kind of subjective, but just use common sense. If Adam Lambert cuts his hair, that goes in the daily news post, because that's pretty regular (you're suppose to cut your hair like every 6 weeks, right?). If he shaves his whole head and runs down the street wearing green metallic paint and a codpiece, that can get its own post because that is not a standard, everyday thing.

Tweets, updates, standard pictures, behind the scenes, video blogs, and somewhat Idol-related news (XFUK, other talents shows, etc.) will go in the daily posts. Album releases, deaths, marriages, signings, and massive announcements or happenings get their own posts, as well as posts that you yourself put a lot of work into, like if you decided to shop all the season 11 contestants into High School Musical.



If you're unsure about something, ask myself (@Clamanity), ivybgreenflower or shadyperfection. We'll get back to you quickly, and if we don't, just post it 'cause fuck us.

Spoilers, like elimination results, will remain spoilers until the Saturday after. On Fridays after eliminations we will have weekly spoiler-filled result discussion posts. If during the week spoilers come out, like song lists, somebody drops out, gets arrested, or something of that nature, that is considered irregular, spectacular and/or spoiler news and should go in its own post.

This might sound very confusing because I'm falling asleep right now and we only just worked this out. If you have any questions or concerns, please put them here in this post. This is a trial thing, and if it doesn't seem to work out for the comm, we'll switch things up. But for now we would like to give it a go.

TYFYT PLEASE JOIN US FOR S11.

ORIGINAL RECIPE HBIC COVERS KYLIE MINOGUE YOU BET I AM FLAILING RTFN


WE ARE NOW ONTD_KYLIE OKAY





also feel free to use this as a Kelly flail post or whatever. I know she does a lot of live covers, you can post those if you feel like.

O hai!

Seems like every time we have a charity thingie I end up making some weird post to the main page.
I come baring vintage scans from an Idol supplement to YM magazine (remember that magazine? no? God, I'm old.) They're from the beginning of season 2 and have small bits of info about the season 2 top 32, along with an interview with Kelly Clarkson, a small interview with Randy, and Ryan's opinion about celebrities. Plus vintage Simon hair, geeky Clay, Ryan's old hair... vintage goodness. And some writer chick auditioned or something, idk.

( Scans ahoy!Collapse )

ALSO FEEL FREE TO TURN THIS INTO A FORGOTTEN IDOLS FLAIL POST. :D

Keep up the good work, my charitable bbs! ilu <3

ATTENTION TAMPA BAY BENCHES

I would have told you this earlier, but OBVIOUSLY I COULDN'T. Bitches.

ANYWAY, Adam Lambert is performing a post-game concert for the Rays Summer Concert Series (because their attendance is so low, on Saturdays they have concerts after the games so people will go). And Orianthi is also performing (idk if she's with his band or before him).

http://tampabay.rays.mlb.com/tb/ticketing/summer_concerts.jsp (scroll down... you'll see it.)

THERE ARE PROBABLY STILL TICKETS AVAILABLE
Note that:
-The tickets you buy for the game aren't the seats you have for the concert. Theoretically, you can buy the cheapest seats for the game and end up with front-row seats once the post-game show starts.
-You have to show up for the actual game. They stop letting people in around the 6th or 7th inning. (I think.)
-You can bring unopened drinks (non-alcoholic) and food, and cameras. They sell beer pretty cheap.
-Parking is completely free if you have 4 or more people in your car, so carpool with some Glamberts or something.
-There are tons of little lounge areas so if the game bores you you can go get a sundae and relax someplace. Or get drunk, there are tons of bars and stuff.


K THAT'S ABOUT IT. now I will flounce forever. KBAI FOREVER.
