The editor/creator introduces self... - 2007/05/27 22:12 Hi. I just thought I would kick-start this new guestbook/forum section with a little hello.

My name is Colin Newell and I am the editor and creator of the CoffeeCrew.Com website.

I have been writing and maintaining this website since 1994 and we are just passing our 13th year online. Wow. It has been fun. We look forward to 13 more.

I ask our other writer-editors-consultants to jump in and introduce themselves.

More on the staff here and here...

Cheers!

Re:The editor/creator introduces self... - 2007/05/28 03:34 Hi Colin
Sorry to land unannounced in your inbox. My name is Pete Paphides and I work as the chief rock critic for The Times in London. I am currently in Vancouver covering the first night of The Police's world tour. I was intrigued by your posting about the difficulty you had in purchasing tickets at a reasonable price – especially the bit about having to join the fan club. Having arrived here yesterday, I noticed that The Police were playing a "fan club" only show in front of 5000 fans. It seemed odd to me that a band that had remained dormant for over 20 years should still have so many people in their fanclub that 5000 of them would be willing to schlep to Vancouver to see them play. Then I remembered what you wrote about having to pay $120 to join the fan club in order to get a chance to see the band live. Did you manage to get tickets in the end? Are you interested in having a chat about your experiences? I am reviewing the show anyway – which, I'm sure, will be enjoyable – but I would nonetheless like to write a small news story to run alongside it, talking about the lengths that some fans have had to go to in order to get tickets. If you would like to talk about any aspect of this, I can be reached on +44814 695283. I am staying at the Westin Bayshore. I can be reached at Room 1183 if you call 604 682 3377. My email address is pete@paphides.demon.co.uk
Many thanks
Pete

Re:The editor/creator introduces self... - 2007/05/28 11:17 This is one for the "didn't see that coming" files!

Yup. When you write for the coffeecrew, anything can happen.

I will follow up on this later.
