    Is anyone else looking at the clock again and again, even though you know it's not going to be expired until Monday? I'm sure some psychologist could reason why it is exciting to check in on. I've already warned my office cohorts to steer clear from 11:30 to 12:30 on Monday....

    My hopes in ranked order:

    PJ20 Weekend DVD/CD pre-sale
    Tour Dates and ticket pre-sale
    Album track sneak peek
    Album release info
    Listing of special guests to join Wrigley concert
    Pre-sale on Wrigley poster

    :corn: :corn: :corn:
    If they are doing a countdown just for some info of something coming up, one new single release, or a poster sale, I'll laugh my ass off and then wonder who went mental over at 10C headquarters. :lol: I don't know if 10C had anything to do with the media coverage of this countdown, but if not, I'm wondering if they're not thinking, "oh shit.... this is becoming a WAY bigger deal than we meant it to become." The ONLY thing that won't piss a lot of people off at this point, because of the big build up a countdown has created, would be the actual album RELEASE, and/or a tour announcement/immediate lottery sale... and really, if it's only a tour announcement that doesn't really justify all the hubbub... We already knew it was coming up. Soooo..... :corn:

    I'm just wondering if 10C didn't underestimate the power of a countdown clock. :lol::lol:

    I doubt it's tour news. I don't think they would do such a big front-page campaign for something that's only going to apply to fans in certain places. It's gotta be something for everyone, or I don't think they'd do it this way.

    I reckon it's got to be album news - tracklist, artwork, release date etc. (remember the gradual tearing of the paper bag around Avocado?)

    Agreed... although I also think it's too big a deal just for an announcement of a release date. The only thing that could justify this gimmick is the actual surprise release of the album.... Which I doubt will happen, in which case, this countdown seems kind of ill conceived. :lol: But I kind of appreciate the fan fare just for the sake of it I guess. Why not?

    What if it's just a reminder to "be sure to drink your ovaltine?"

    Personally, I think that would be a disappointment.

    Yeah, I'm trying to decide whether to set an alarm for 4.30am NZT to be here for the final half hour of countdown & full prep, to set it for 4.55 to be here for just the final bit of the countdown & whatever it turns out to be, or just to wake up at my normal time & desperately catch up on whatever meltdown has happened. :?

    What the countdown is to:
    New single will premiere on monday and new album will be released on 11 oct. The presale will start on iTunes.

    btw, new single sounds "punky" what personally makes me more than happy:)

    peace to all of you jammers!
