part 3:

We couldn’t get outside fast enough… I wanted to get a tourbook but the line was too big… so chavi and I decided to stalk immediately but I ran into my boss… and then my collegue who were asking about us and my boss saw me on the screen she told me she’d buy my Antwerp tickets from me she wanted to go again so badly!! Cutteee! But then we were like.. we should goo stallkkkkkkk!! Were outta here! My sister and tim came along with us and we met Lauren again at a spot we agreed to before the show… the tourbusses were right around the corner and easy accesable…

I remembered from a R#42 blog that they were driving around in vans with german plates, and I saw I van lke the one I saw at brixton.. so while everybody hung back I went to check the plates.. and they were…. GERMANN weeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee

I went to get Chavi and the rest and I was like we stay near this door and were not leaving until these vans are gone!!! Period! I had my marker and rush of blood to the head cd booklet ready! So now we wait… we saw the afro woman.. ( I think she’s Kelly chief of security that R#42 mentioned before?)

And I told everybody that she was there at brixton when Guy and jonny came out and now I was sure at least somebody was inside! Weeeee!

A lot of people passed us by, also someone with an Oxfam jacket and Chavi said:

‘Tnx for your blogs!’ he turned around and said: ‘what?’ and then I recognized him and it clicked I said:’ you’re Pete right?’

He was in utter surpise and was like.. uhmm yeah how do you know?!?!

So I said you’re famous too! We always read your blogs they’re really great, he seemed so flattered he had some fans! And he came over to us and we chatted for quite some time! He told us a lot of thing, first we asked if he got a lot of signatures and he was very pleased and talked about that.. than we asked about touring with the band.. some security passed us by saying we should leave cause the band had left with a police escort! First I said: don’t lie man I see the van I know someone is back there but he insisted and then I said well doesn’t matter cause were talking to Pete right now!

Then of course we had to ask if he knew anybody wass till inside… he said he wasn’t sure… and I just blurted out: could you check… so rude.. but I took it back immediately! We told him we’d be going to Antwerp tomorrow and he said well then I’ll probably see you there! Then he went to get a shower and left us again..

Some guys from albert’s band came out and we recognized the bassplayer! Chavi told him we were clapping for him and he was like owwh yeah I remember then I told him we’d thrown a balloon on stage for him especially and he said ooh no I missed it! (we didn’t tell him what it said though) and we’d be at the Antwerp show as well, he was really impressed and asked us to bring balloons again so he could find us and hook us up with a guitar pick or a drumstick or something! Soo sweet!

We then asked to take his picture and I said: we don’t even know your name! he said: call me what ever you like…. So chavi.. quick as she was said: Okay Judy! :lol: he then went back in.. and my sister and tim left cause they were tired and it was cold… it also started to rain… Tim gave us a piece of plastic before he left and his cd booklet.. just in case..! we stood under the piece of plastic and waited…. Another security guard kept opening the door and looking at us… by the 3rd time I was like: yeah we’re stil here… were die hard were not going anywhere! He then started talking to us asking us where we were from and he turned out to be dutch so I spoke to him for a little while, and asked him if we were waiting for no reason, he said oh the rest have left, but HE is still inside… what d o you mean he? Chris??!?!?!?!

Also one of the vans left with miller and some woman.. we said hi to miller and thanked him for the blog and the spreadin the love sign… but I guess he was a bit rushed.. Kelli (?) told the driver he needed to come back again for someone else (chris maybe)

He said: yeah I’m pretty sure I’ll go check if you want… uhmmm YEAHHHHH

He came back and confirmed! Weeeeeeeee chris still there! We were meeting chris!!

In the mean time the bassist from alberts band came back and brought us 2 setlists and signed them, said his name was Reno.. he ffelt sorry cause he didn’t have anything for lauren, went back inside and got a tour schedule (VERY HELPFUL L BTW) and so sweet of him to do that!

The van that had gone came back… and so we wait

Then Pete came back out and I said hey pete: are you nice and clean ?(don’t start.. I know…)

And he said Oh your still here! we chatted some more (did I mention how nice he was?) And then the van pulled up to the door… a lotta things happened quickly and pete said: I ‘ll leave you alone cause someone who might still be inside is coming out now and I don’t want to ruin your chance… CUTEEEE! We said bye and then the door opened….

chavi said Bye and she said bye back and seemed a bit surprised… we thank her for all she does while she got in the van… they drove off, and I realized there was another van waiting…

Kelli was outside and somebody was going in and she said: just don’t go in there cause He’s gonna take a shower and something about ten minutes…

What??!?! He ??!?!? shower?!?!?! 10 minutes!!!:stunned:

So I just plain asked: did you say 10 minutes and she said: oohh no I’m just full of it… yeah…

About 10 minutes later… the driver came out again.. pulled the van up and showtime!!!

WEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE

Camera;s ready… caps of marquers… on your places get set GO!

I saw Chris inside.. wearing his BARACK shirt and I noticed Lauren was gone.. she didn’t realize it would happen NOW so I yelled LAUREN GET YOU BUTT OVER HERE! He’s coming out NOW

He came out and his face was all surprise and flatter, there’s still people here? He probably said multiple times.. aww you waited so long in the cold! And rain He signed my rush of blood to the head booklet first, and asked me for my name: It’s Carla, and he said that’s with a C right? Yeah that’s right

then I asked: I don’t mean to be rude but could you sign this one for Tim? Which he did! And said: oh no it’s okay! We told him the gig was awesome! And I said I loved his shirt about a gazillion times! Lauren asked about his cold and he thanked her and said it was much better he signed her T-shirt, and someone dropped the cap of the marker.. Chris picked it up for us… such a gentleman!! I was like leave it it’s just the cap! Think he handed it back to Lauren (right?) He also signed Chavi’s banner and made a little face!

We asked to take pictures, and Chavi said her battery was dead so I said it’s okay my camera is still working so I gave it to her and she took a pic of me, mine and chris’ face are probably weird cause I think we were talking about Barack and how he should win, and that we got all excited about the shirt when we saw it on the Lyon blog

I took a pic of chavi and the it turned out my battery was about empty as well so I quickly took a pic of him and Lauren and he was getting to the van

We told him we’d come to Antwerp tomorrow and he said I’ll look for you or see you then not sure… either way COOOL

I told him to say HI to the others from us and he said he would, and I also told him to tell Guy he owed me a signed brixton T-shirt and he said: Yeah I know… (he doesn’t but okay)

And that was it.. he got in and they drove off, we waved and lauren said Chris was knocking on the window letting us know he saw us cause the windows were black although I didn’t hear that I thought it was the cutes thing EVER we stayed calm until that moment! We were all WEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE

I could hardly believe I had been that calm I saw the security guy that got us info and knocked n the window showing the signatures and blowing him a kiss… (yeah maybe that was too much)

He came outside again and asked us to go for drinks… but we were so tired, and we needed to take lauren to the station soo we jumped around the parking lot screaming and dancing to my car! Weeeeee! Chris martin Nicest sweetest cutes man EEVERRR

So far Our firt night… chavi and I were in bed by 3ish… :uhoh:

I was 3 steps behind you trying to move to keep away the cold Carla sweet, no way I was gonna walk away knowing he would come out any minute. :D I keep reliving it with added bits of what I'd have like to say. I just hope the thank yous carried more than words.

Thanks for writing the review 'cause I have a fever and a cough and a little dizzy, well worth it though :flutterby:

For him I'd freeze myself dry. lol.
