April 4, 200620 yr They are alright. Generally the Junos don't excite me. I wasn't even feeling BSS's performance. Oh well. I loved Broken Social Scene, they just looked so cool there with all the people in the band. The lead singer can't sing though.
April 5, 200620 yr Author my avi is the back of the album I got the boys to sign... It says: Top right corner - Guy Far Left Middle circular thing - Will Far Right Middle - Jonny Middle and bottem - Hi Joy great to meet you love coldplay, and then Chris' siggy is under Will's (as far as I can make out). My sister got Will's siggy, and then Chris'... and Chris made a funny face thing out of Will's sig. It's funny.. i'll post it.
April 5, 200620 yr I saw you guys on T.V. but didn't know that was your phone Joy. Just out of curiousity, what did he do on the phone? Did he dial a number, look in your menu? What, I am so curious haha

April 5, 200620 yr Author Before the award show started, we got screwed on where I thought I was going to be standing. Paid $200, stood in line for 6 hours at 4am two months ago to be as close to the stage as possible. That didn't happen. We were shuffled in behind another pit where kids with red wristbands were going (I have no idea how they got those wristbands). Anyways, I was pissed. However, we ended up standing in front of a piece of the stage that jetted out into the audience (one of a couple pieces like that... so standing in front of this one was completely random). This piece is where Chris spent most of his time. He did the cell phone bit here and made the speech about Brian Adams here... so I saw him more than the red wristband kids. Yay! :) Before Talk began, I called my mom so that she could listen (she would have loved to come just for that one performance... but it was a bit steep just for one Coldplay song). So, knowing that Chris has a thing for cell phones during this song, I hold up my sister's cell so my mom can hear well while she watches on tv at home. Chris comes over just at the right time, stands in front of me and says, with the cutest British accent "Does anyone have a telephone?" I shoved mine at him.. he didn't see it at first, but turns around and takes it from me. He sits down on the stage, punches in a few numbers (I think he was trying to find the phone book).. he couldn't figure it out, and shoves it back as he tries to get back to the song. When I look at it, there were only a few numbers punched in (like i said). But I called my mom after the performance and she yells, "Did Chris just hang up on *me*?!?!?!" She was so excited :) So although she didnt' get a pic with him earlier when I met him outside, she thought it was cool that she was kinda on tv with him instead. :) I'll post my story about meeting the boys outside before soundcheck later. Exam studying first!!!
April 5, 200620 yr Author now I only wish I'd tried to tell Chris that my mom was on the phone already... She would have died to have him talk/sing to her!!! :D
April 5, 200620 yr Woah...lucky lucky...I'm just kicking myself I didn't go down and try to meet them.
April 5, 200620 yr Okay I'm looking for a picture. Can somebody take a screenshot or something from the Junos where Chris has the Montreal Canadiens hat on? I'll be your best friend forever!
April 5, 200620 yr I always wondered if he actually called someone! hehe! Thought maybe he was just trying to get a free sms out of it.... "G...be home in 45. get the t on. cX" lol

I'll be your best friend forever! now i dunno what chris was thinking when he put that hat on cause i mean think about it montreal canadiens...common...what kinda garbage is that....
April 6, 200620 yr now i dunno what chris was thinking when he put that hat on cause i mean think about it montreal canadiens...common...what kinda garbage is that.... I'm sure he doesn't know anything about hockey but he probably does know if it was a Toronto Maple Leafs hat that he shouldn't even touch it.
April 6, 200620 yr I just got off the phone with my aunt and she told me that Coldplay did a privite afterparty at nasqad or however you spell it after the Junos. Apparently there were only 25 people there and they played some songs and talked to the people. How I wish I knew about this!
April 7, 200620 yr Ladies and gentlemen, boys, girls and wildlife, I give you at long last autumnjoy's wonderful (sideways) video of the view from the pit. This is the Bryan Adams speech: http://rapidshare.de/files/17385496/Picture_375.mov.html If anyone knows how to turn it around right side up, would you please be willing to repost it? Sorry it took so long to get it up...between technical difficulties and last week of class workload.... well, its up, anyway... number two being uploaded now
April 7, 200620 yr Here's part of Talk: http://rapidshare.de/files/17386061/Picture_374.mov.html These were taken by autumnjoy's sister Jenna, so massive thanks to her for them! :D
April 7, 200620 yr Just watching the video again' date=' I just noticed Erin and Autumnjoy in the video, you guys were pretty close to Chris![/quote'] That we most certainly were. I think he must have recognized us from outside, because he came right up to where we were and was singing right at us. He even sort of posed for autumjoy's sister to take a pic right where he sings "I'm so scared about the future and I want to talk to you, and I want to talk to you" They are alright. Generally the Junos don't excite me. I wasn't even feeling BSS's performance. Oh well. Broken Social Scene were so amazing live! Both the night before and the song they played at the Junos. So, I come home, and one of the first things my sister says to me (she hadn't heard them before) is "Broken Social Scene sounded terrible!" I couldn't believe it! They were mindblowing! I watch the tape, and sure enough, she was right they sounded terrible! The tv producer had absolutly no idea how to mix a group that big, apparently, because he had pulled out a couple of the layers and turned up the volume too much on them, and then you couldn't even hear the rest. He butchered it!! :angry:
April 7, 200620 yr Author briggins, they said on MuchMusic that Guy, Will, and Jonny took off right after the performance on a plane (or, did a runner) to get to the next play date. they also said that chris stayed around to do the award thingy and then took off directly too. I'm not sure where you're aunt got her info, but she have heard of some other band. Plus it doesnt' make much sense for only 25 people to be there... even with EMI reps n'stuff.. there'd have been a lot more. And they had soundcheck the next afternoon in New Hampshire... so partying on sunday night doesn't seem like something they'd do. Although.. I guess it could have happened.. it just seems a little unlikely. Thanks Mo for posting the vids. I have more comming from another friend who was in the audience.. and as soon as i get a paycheck next week, i'll have my own pics.. like the one of me squeezed between Guy and Chris :D:D:D
