    Wednesday is mid-week, that's a scientific fact and i can prove it. In German Wednesdays is "Mittwoch" with Mitt- meaning middle cuz it's the middle of the week.

    Case closed, where's that birdy now :D
    Well, do you need a lot of what you've got to survive?

    I think mid-week is most certainly today...but it is like 5:00 am in Seattle - let's give Kat some time for some coffee and a shower

    is pearl jam's tweet tweet the "bluebird of happiness?"
    http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bluebird
    see what I mean?
    http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bluebird_of_happiness
    "The mythology of the bluebird has deep roots that goes back to thousands of years. Indigenous cultures across the globe hold similar myths and beliefs about the bluebird. It is the most universally accepted symbol of cheerfulness, happiness, prosperity, hearth and home, good health, new births, the renewal of springtime, etc. Virtually any positive sentiments may be attached to the bluebird."

    Realistically, halfway through the week if midday on Thursday. But don't tell the bird.
    Hey hey it's okay...

    You could make a case for Thursday if your calendar begins the week on Monday.

    However, in the U.S./Seattle, the week actually begins on Sunday. That is why Wednesday is considered mid-week:

    Which one is in the middle?

    I would define the week as in workweek. Mo Tu We Th Fr

    So same result, Wednesday is in the middle.

    My point is that in many countries other than the U.S., the week looks like this on the calendar (not your work week):

    Mo Tu We Th Fr Sa Su

    Ours just so happens to begin with Sunday. So that's why mid-week = Wednesday. If Pearl Jam were from Spain, mid-week = Thursday.

    See?

    Hm, I'm from Western Europe and theoretically, our week begins Mondays, you're right. But instinctively, when I read mid-week, then that's Wednesday to me. That's just what people mean when they say "We're gonna have this or that ready by the middle of the week".

    Good Lord people, calm down. The announcment will be whatever it will be, and whether it's announced today or tomorrow doesn't change the end result of whatever it is.

    I hope it's like a "Tweet! Tweet! Super Duper Poster Sale!", just to crush the lives of a few and drive up the sales of Prozac (thus helping the economy).

    That would be far more practical, for sure.

    However, a Tweet Super Duper Poster thing would be very Jamily-esque, don't you agree?

    you know you can't wait any longer when you start debating what day is the middle of the week...
    Wouldn't it be funny if the world ended in 2010, with lots of fire?

    Probably, but even though it would be a pretty big letdown for it to be posters, it would still leave some people kind of excited, and we'd still have a zillion annoying threads, so, I'm hoping for practical.

    Thing is, 10C/Kat/Sea haven't done anything to hype everyone up. Even the tweet warning was very subdued, so really if today they announce "tweet, board will be down for maintenance for the next twenty minutes, that is all", we'd have no one but ourselves to blame for the let down.
    Hey hey it's okay...

    You have a point, but since the cryptic little 'tweet' hints have been around, they've always alerted something pretty big. All tour news in the last couple of years has been tweeted, the poster book (which some would argue WAS huge...), and I'm sure other stuff that I can't remember, but it's definitely going to be something exciting.
