Alright. So that was pretty awesome huh?!

 

I got to the United Center and got in at about 5 with Oxfam, and I heard Coldplay doing their soundcheck, and I wanted to run out to the stage and yell, "I love you," but that was against the rules.

 

Oxfam was great, all the people were amazing.

Oh and btw, I talked to someone on the tour with Coldplay and he said that Coldplay will stay in the city that tthey are playing in until like the night before the next show or something, so they won't leave chicago right after.

 

I will put up my pics, we were row 1 for the GPASUYF and Sleep chant!

was row 1 the tickets you had or the ones oxfam gave you? :stunned:

We bought tickets! And volunteered. It was an awesome experience, I would suggest it to anyone, its really a great thing to do.

My question...do the band members play the violin parts on the actual record or did they hire someone else to do that? Who plays?

 

Question for the Coldplay Oracle?

I know someone already asked this but i cannot read through all of the threads sorry, time is short, and i have not seen vids yet. did they have the two ramps coming down from the stage? trying to picture jersey concert 97 days away in my head and since i am on the floor 7th row i need to picture myslef casue i am so fucking jealoous of ang, lori and mel.:rolleyes:

^They did - one on each side, with an extra stage (Where they performed GPASOYF and Chinese Sleep Chant together) on one side. You can see it in icedude2010's pictures!

Ah! So lucky :D When they ran to that small stage I was completely envious of those in the front row...you guys!

I have a couple vids too. Green Eyes and a bit of Fix you.

 

Oh and btw I think I signed a couple of you guys up for Oxfam..

Thanks for the awesome videos! You made my day, guys! :)

I don't believe you signed me up last night, but, I did manage to make it to the Oxfam website last night and signed myself up!

 

We need to end poverty!

Now I don't want to go all hysterical here so I shall calmly ask you if I just saw what I think I saw at the end of that video :stunned: :stunned:

Was that you that we asked if we could have the Oxfam buttons and we signed your list even though we are alread members because you said you list looked lonely? :P

 

 

 

OMG Mel just called and said she saw Guy on the street walking around and was on the trolly and could get off to talk to him. :stunned:

And thats awesome about Guy, I had a dream that Will invited me over to his house and we played Ping Pong and Chris and Johnny showed up and they were like "Wheres guy? Is he out with the chicago prostitutes again?"

Yeah.....

I hope a video from the other side turns up somewhere :P

 

And OMG about Guy, she should've done a crafty drop and roll :P

I know. OK peeps, who has the butt grab shot? Fork it over now damnit!

 

She was telling us about a section near where she's staying where men all go to hit on women. They call it the Viagra triangle. I forgot to ask her if that's where she saw Guy. :laugh3:

Oh, the Viagra triangle. Ha!

 

My best friend lives right around the block from there. It's a nice area with a lot of great restaurants, but it is really expensive. The joke amongst city residents is that the older men with money go down there to pick up on the young girls in the party scene...hence the term Viagra triangle.

She said he was on Michigan near the Hancock. Is that the Viagra triangle? :P

God, that concert sounds like it was AMAZING last night! I hope tonight's goes just as well!

 

But I've got a question... can anyone tell me, and I don't mind if it's just a rough estimate, how far back the catwalks go? Where Jonny goes up to play the solo for In My Place, where Chris jumps around, those things. How far into the floor seats, I mean. I just want to have a nice visual of where I might be ;)

^Here's one of my pre-show pictures for you to see and check:

The other (Farther) ramp is the one with the stage.

 

And yay for 1076 signatures!
