OMG!

 

This girl(http://jonnyssheep.tumblr.com/post/53364087869/meeting-coldplay) met Coldplay , here's her story:

On the eighteenth of June 2013, my biggest dream finally came true. I met the people I’m proud to look up to and call my idols, I met Coldplay. I’m still in shock and I don’t think I’ve exactly registered that the people my blog is dedicated to and the people I am listening to right now, are the same people I met yesterday.

I’ve been wanting to go to The Bakery for ages and finally I got the chance to go. The first great thing to happen was to get the chance to go to Belsize Park, where the Paradise video was filmed.

Someone kindly gave me directions on twitter to get there and I followed them, as we were walking past The Beehive two men walked out and I learned one of them was Dan Green the sound engineer. This was just a taste of things to come! I heard him say something like “I saw Chris had been working on a canvas.” I was in total shock because I realised that probably meant they were there. I carried on walking towards The Bakery and took a little look down the alley, I could see bikes parked there.

Many people had assured me meant they were there. My idols were in the buildings surrounding me. I went with my mother and she left to go and find a toilet. I was sat on the bench opposite the Bakery just staring it in awe, because I had seen it so many times in pictures and now it was actually real.

I then walked up to The Beehive and noticed that a light was on in there!

I was really really excited and nervous and thought I would have to wait for ages. I walked back over to the bench and sat down again and was on my phone looking at twitter. I locked my phone and looked up down the street and I saw Guy and Will walking towards me. I was totally in shock because I had never expected to see them so soon! I stood up and took a couple of steps towards them. I said “I’m a massive fan!” (they’ve heard it a million times before but I literally had three seconds to prepare for them coming and it was the only thing I could think of!) Guy said awww and Will went “Really?! awww” They were so sweet! I was shaking and really nervous! I said “I’ve got something for you to sign, if you don’t mind.” and Will went “Of course not!” so I got my copy of Mylo Xyloto out of my bag and a sharpie and he took it out and asked me my name. Then he passed it to Guy, as Guy was signing it I said “I know this sounds really weird but I see you all the time in pictures and now you’re like, real!” Will said aww and as he was speaking I heard a familiar voice and Chris hopped onto the road and walked past us talking on his phone. My reaction was just “Ohhhh!!” because 10 minutes after arriving I had seen 3 members of Coldplay! Will laughed and Guy gave me back my album.

I said “Can I get a picture?” and they went “Of course!” I got my phone out and unlocked it (my lock screen was a picture of Coldplay and Will just said “Ohhhhh” haha!) Will told me “that’s the best iPhone case I’ve ever seen!” and I went “Oh thanks it’s a bottle of ketchup with a little smile, and Guy went “Awww”. This is it:

No one was there to take the picture for me so I had to do it for myself. I got the front camera on and Will said “Hold on let me come this side” So he walked over to my right side, with Guy on my left. I held it out and he said “Come here, I’ll take it, I have longer arms!” and he laughed. Will took the picture and my mind was going crazy, Will Champion was taking a selfie on my phone of me and Guy Berryman….and they both had their arms on my back.

I thanked them again and they both said bye, Will said “Thank you for coming to visit us.” They walked down to the crossing and crossed the road, disappearing down the alley. I ran down the road to my mum who was just walking up to The Beehive. I figured Chris had gone in there and as I walked past the door was slightly open I could see Chris and hear him speaking after I had just come up from meeting Guy and Will. I told my mum I had just met them and right then Chris walked out of The Beehive. He said “Hi I’m Chris!” (as if I didn’t already know) I said “Hi Chris!” and he went “How are you?” I said “Good thanks!” He said “What’s your name?” I replied with my name and he asked “And where have you come from today, Georgia?” I said “Manchester!” he said “Wow a long way!” We went in for the picture and he put his arm round me and I had mine on his back. Before we took it I looked round and saw him that close to me, and I died in that moment, I swear.

He was in a rush so I didn’t want to annoy him by getting his autograph. I just said “Thank you so much, I’m so grateful” he said “It’s no problem, thank you for coming Georgia, bye!” and smiled at me! Chris hurried off down the street. I just collapsed and sat down on the floor completely and utterly gobsmacked! I walked back over to the bench looking at the photos and trying to get my breath back. All of a sudden Chris appeared out of the alley on his scooter! He smiled at me and did the peace sign, I waved and he waved back, still smiling. Then he was gone. I was totally speechless. I never expected it all to happen so fast.

I decided to head back to the tube then as I assumed that as it was just Guy and Will, Jonny wasn’t there. And neither was Phil with Chris. I went back to Belsize Park and scanned my ticket through the barrier, still on a complete high, it seriously felt like I was dreaming. Belsize park is quite an old station, there are no escalators, just two big lifts where people come out of. I was waiting to get in the one that was coming up, to go down to the platform. The doors opened and I looked to the tallest figure there, wearing a hat. It was Jonny. I was completely speechless! I said “Oh my god that’s Jonny!!!”. I probably had enough time to get my phone out to take a picture or whatever, but I was so shocked I completely forgot. Plus he was moving so fast I didn’t really want to bother him either. As he walked past I just said “Hi Jonny!” It took a moment to register for him, but he turned around and smiled at me and said “Hello!” really quietly. That was it. I’d met them all!

To sum up the day in a word, unbelievable. They look like ordinary people: getting on the tube to work, having L Plates on their scooters, having two random old buildings as their recording studios. It was everything I expected, they’re the nicest people you could wish to meet. I liked how Chris introduced himself as though we were meeting for the first time like friends or whatever, and he asked for mine too. I maybe had two minutes with him? But I’ve never felt so happy. I was shaking and about to burst into tears, and Will just calmed me down completely. Guy was quiet but I wouldn’t have expected any more or less from him. It was amazing and surreal to see Jonny in a lift. No one ever has a bad word to say about meeting Coldplay (unless you’re a Paparazzi!) and I can see why, Chris was in a rush yet still had a conversation and picture with me.

I can’t say how lucky I feel to have met them and seen them live. I’m in awe and shock. It will sink in and it will be the best feeling ever. But yesterday reminded me of every single reason I love Coldplay so much, and also reminded me of how I could never ever stop loving them….

Thank you for reading this, I know it’s quite long!
