This may be old news to some, but apparently guerilla marketers for the spacey, screeching prog-emo band Coheed and Cambria scared the hell out of folks at Kansas University by painting the band's logo -- or some damn symbol -- and the date 10.23.07 in various places around campus to commemorate the Tuesday release of the band's album Long-Haired Dude in Tight Jeans Will Kick Your Whole Town's Ass.
Here's a brief LJ World blog article on the subject. Google Coheed Cambria Kansas University for more.

These kids were huddled against the cold this morning outside the Uptown. Because the marquee said "Oct. 24 Porcupine Tree," I assumed that's what they were waiting for. Porcupine Tree has fans this young and diehard? I thought to myself, surprised the British modern prog-rock band would draw 'em out so early. So I asked them if they were waiting for Porcupine Tree. One said "No" and another said "I love Porcupine Tree!"
Turns out the Porc played yesterday (Oct. 24, duh), and the kids on the sidewalk were actually waiting for Brand New and Thrice, tonight's show. Duh duh duh duh duh.
Well, tomorrow, Dashboard Confessional is playing the Uptown, and I won't be driving by with a camera. No siree. I'll teach those kids the true meaning of prog-emo. I shall paint that Coheed symbol 'pon their distended, starveling bellies with a stencil and a spraygun full of blood.
HUZZAH.
P.S. The jester smiles as the puppets dance IN THE COURT OF THE CRIMSON KING!
