  • Can't believe its nearly 4 years since we first met some Coldplayers in 'real life' :o   That was one crazy day but well worth it :D

Does everyone think this will really finish so very late? I know the Empire has a permanent late licence, but I need to get home to Kent afterwards as I don't really have anywhere to stay in London...

well unless CP come on at 9.30 and then the killers come on at around 10.45 and only play an hour then yeah it'll be after midnight

mmm sounds like coldplay will be off by midnight

can't wait :)

The Killers are due on after midnight so you're looking at a 1am finish for the whole thing

might need to bring pillow and pjs then

is there a meet in a pub beforehand for a beer ? going on my own :( so would be nice to say hi if there's anything happening :)

Thanks a lot Ian and everyone else! I thought the Empire was only licensed till half twelve on weekdays but maybe i'm mistaken, and that's a moot point as my last train from Charing Cross leaves then anyway...

 

So, I need to not only be feeling a bit better tomorrow and therefore fit to attend the gig, but also work out somewhere to stay afterwards. Hmmm.

I wonder if Coldplay/The Killers are going to cover one of the each others songs.

 

Coldplay's rendition of When We Were Young sounds a bit flakey.

That is going to be an awesome show. I'm so jealous! haha I saw The Killers on the 4th of Feb. and they were great. The only time they stumbled was when Brandon talked! lol Poor guy gets nervous. :)

he was sooo nervous at Reading last year, I've seen them 3 times but the other 2 were at Brixton and Billingsgate Market which are tiny in comparison and they were awesome.

covers ? that'd be fun ! killers latest record is a lot different to their last effort that's for sure ... and both their sound and their look is a lot more polished this time around

 

spaceman is a cracker that's for sure :)

i saw them twice in 2007 and I don't think Brandon talked at all the first time...? Maybe small chit chat, but the second time he was very talkative! Not nervous at all. I think he was really pumped because of the four encores. :D

HOW LATE!!!!!?? the times have just been posted on the shepherds bush empire site: (in the update ticker)

11.10pm coldplay, 12.20pm killers. So that's a 1am finish. (tubes close about 12.20pm)

 

been looking at the central line all week, last tube in a wembley direction is 00:44 then its buses because of engineering works, according to tfl website.

 

 

Mich heard from Lori that she and Kelly had landed at Heathrow and Mich is on her way to London too.

 

WHOOP!

 

:dance:

 

 

Mich still on way to London, they got stuck on the M6 :(

 

 

 

awww:shy:

though I've never met any of you so You'll have to make yourselves obvious...Don't think I have the bottle to go up to randoms asking Hi are you busybeeburns :\:laugh3:

 

if we manage to meet up with Mich, Lori & others, then he'll be the one trying to look like he's not with the squeeeeeeeeeeing girls :laugh3:

I've just had it confirmed that it may be as late as a 1:30 finish for the gig, so nightbuses look like the only way to get anywhere, and I won't be able to attend unless my London friends answer my texts asap and offer me a sofa to crash on in time for me to promise to buy the ticket i've been offered...

Just a heads up in case you dont know,

Make sure you queue up and enter with whoever your buying the ticket of, as it will have his name on it. They will be checking the names on the tickets with ids.

I very much want to see that... it will be hilarious to see Ian around Squeeeeing fangirls.

:laugh4:

 

Jen, you know what time you're gonna queue/meet?

I already told Mich that as soon as I'm getting to London I'll call her to see where she and everyone else is...

I don't think we've decided yet. although 5pm ish was the last I heard mentioned. Ian's the boss, so whenever he wants to go and queue really. I have Mich's mobile number so will keep in contact :D
