November 26, 200520 yr I have many pics of Will in his pink tshirt, but this is my fav because I took it myself ;)
November 26, 200520 yr Texasluvsjonny, I can't recall if you've recounted this all before, but how many times have you met the band, and what happened? Where was it? How'd you do it? Spill spill! :lol:
November 27, 200520 yr Texasluvsjonny, I can't recall if you've recounted this all before, but how many times have you met the band, and what happened? Where was it? How'd you do it? Spill spill! :lol: Well lets see. First time was in Houston on the Rush of Blood tour. They hadn't been out on tour for very long when they came to Houston. I went early to the venue. When I was leaving the parking garage, I passed by their buses which were parked on the street. Will, Jonny and Guy where out just walking around! They were signing autographs, talking to people and stuff. I was so stunned they were just out and about. No one really cared about them :confused: all the people hanging around their buses were hoping to meet Chris. Chris and Gwyneth had just started dating heavily and she was with him all the time, so he wasn't hanging out with fans. lol I didn't take any pics or even have any paper with me to get signed, :( but I did say Hi. Later that same tour I flew to Cleveland to see them with Mary. I had met Mary on the Coldplay message board and we decided to see a show together. Actually a whole bunch of us met up there and went to see them. Again we went early to the venue. Mary, insane woman that she is, had made everyone a t-shirt with Will's pic on it. We were waiting when their tour bus arrived and I guess the rest of the band made Will come over and talk to his "fan club" :lol: He was so embarrassed. He let us take pics and talked with us. That's where that above pic is from. I took Mary's pic with him. After the show, we went around to where the buses where parked and after the show, Chris and Jonny came out first. I was surprised that Chris came out ( because Gwyn was there). They signed autographs and took pics with us. They were very nice. Especially Jonny. :heart: Then Will came out. We waited for Guy, but he came out and got on their bus without coming over. :angry: Now days they don't tour by bus, so it's hard to meet them. Most big venues that they play have enclosed entrances so not much luck even seeing them arrive or leave. Things like radio show interviews where you know they will be coming and going at a set time would be your best shot. I met Will 11/20 on the train to the footie match. I also support Saints and was in the UK to see them play. I said hi and he shook my hand. We talked a bit and walked part way to the stadium together. This meeting was just pure luck. :smug: Mary is till kicking herself for not being there. :sneaky:

Things like radio show interviews where you know they will be coming and going at a set time would be your best shot. call me nuts but i do belive that they should even for minute or two come out and talk to the fans a bit... oh..reading this part makes me wonder what WILL be in the next documentry on their dvd, cus the last one had many many meetings with their fans.
November 27, 200520 yr Texasluvsjonny, so ur the one who took that pic! i remember Mary telling us that her friend took it, but i didnt it was someone from the messageboard! cool! i reckon thats sorta a classic photo of him... one of the first pics i saw of him alone. :) aww... damn, jonny hugged u... lucky... :(

Man, if I see Guy and he doesn't come over to say hi, I swear I will make bare NOISE! He'd feel so ashamed he'd have to come over... :lol:
November 27, 200520 yr we were so pissed because we waited so frickin long for him to come out :angry:
November 27, 200520 yr I'm getting a bad vibe about this young man. He needs to appreciate his fans a bit more.... He's lucky I don't know where he lives.... :lol:
November 27, 200520 yr Oh wow! That sounds very cool Texasluvsjonny. I'm glad you got to meet them. :) And that's too bad about Guy. Maybe they had to go and he was late? But yes. I'm still kicking myself for not taking the day AFTER the Coldplay concert from school instead of the day of, because the day after Chris did an interview with 99X and stayed to talk to the whole of 15 people who waited outside the sudios for him. :angry: :angry:
November 27, 200520 yr It really sucks that I live in Michigan and its nearly impossiple to meet them. Im praying for Februarys Show. Pleaseee God!!!! :lol:
November 27, 200520 yr Hahah, This is a bit obsessive, but when I first was getting into them.. My freind Nancy told me that Chris lived in NY sometimes and I was like. sweet. A state away :cool: 1 haha And when they were in Michigan in August I was like "Its a magical day in michigan!!" hahaha :lol:
November 27, 200520 yr *sigh* :/ Counting the days until thier Manchester NH date so I can be all high on seeing Coldplay again. :blush:
