Oooh Kirsten, you're making me remember it all again, he was so lovely. Me and Anna nearly got killed running across the road and Chris said "don't get run over now" and he said he had to go soon as it was "tea time" then I went round to his left side cos I know he writes with his left hand and just kind of eased my map of Camden and pen into his hand getting a good old touch of it at the same time.

 

When he'd signed "love Chris" (Squeeeeeeeeeee ), he was just about to use my pen for the next person but then gave it back to me (another touch, oops it's so hard to take a pen) and took their's instead.

 

I was also touching his arm throughout all this. He said "did you enjoy the encore" everyone agreed and I said it was great, "all my best three boys on stage together "(meaning Chris, Brandon and Bono) and he laughed, I'm hoping he thought I said my three best bands not boys. I can't believe I said that!

 

Then he said he had to get home, he said goodbye and we all thanked him and he was in the car and gone! We were then there on cloud 9 for about another hour until we got a taxi organised along with the help of a nice kind policeman. We got to the hotel gone 4am.

 

I sort of forgot about the paps and couldn't believe the photos on the websites that emerged, talk about glam, I look dreadful but who cares! My kids are well impressed. I shall never forget it as long as I live.

  • 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

Another thing ... the photos will be a bit mixed, not the actual order of appearance on stage.

I know.... & I've been up since 2:45 am with some heinous jet lag. Most of it because I was worrying that Mich & Lori will never forgive me for the ultimate superfan faux-pas. My fault we missed Chris. Even my husband was like 'geez, what's wrong with you...you couldn't have waited 10 more minutes!!!!!!!!!!' Glad it seems everyone made it made it back home safe and sound!

 

Don't worry about it. Is unfortunate but for all we knew it could have been another two hours.

 

I think I'm just destined to never meet them. :P

 

Not the end of the world :D

pics are uploading on to Flickr

If he was trying to be nice, Chelsea, he'd say he visits it often, he wouldn't say he does it three times a day.

 

And you know it yourself... this place is addictive... imagine how entertaining the fangirl threads are when you actually know the people being talked about :laugh3:

 

I say he looks here in panic 3 times a day:

:wreck: did they find it yet? *bites fingers*

 

aaaawww.he looks tired :\

 

well it's really no wonder, while miller was having a nice massage and nap te boy probably weren't and the birts must have beennerve wrecking, and that's exhausting too poor fellas

 

I'm not sure about downloading it but they were filming it and someone asked what it was for and they said they were making the whole gig into a DVD.

 

OMG awesome :D

 

Didn't have a chance to look back at all the posts and reviews, but I will have plenty of time this weekend.

The buskers outside when we were waiting in line were great, I knew some victims couldn't care less about coldplay and I was proud how all of the coldplayers were singing all the songs, even the few killers' ones :D

 

Anyway that was the best gig I've ever been, my three favourite bands all together on stage (well technically 3 U2 were missing). Epic is the only word I can use for what happened.

 

These are some of the pics I took, not the best..and I didn't took any video cause I knew the audio would turn out shit since I was too close to the stage (I just took one at the end of 42 just because it was the only way for me to have a decent shot of Guy :P booo to the victims who took hold of the right side of the stage)

After the gig me and my friends went to the back entrance to see if we could catch someone..Guy came out and went straight into the car waiting for him, there were paparazzi outside so I couldn't get too close and say hi :angry:, then some unknown vip and Will, who took me by surprise as when he saw me and shook my hand gave me a kiss on the cheek and said he was happy to see me again, my face turned :stunned: I was so shocked that I asked him if he was sure he really did recognise me, and he did, awwww Will the Pooh :heart: ..too bad Kelly called him away, he would have stayed there chatting :disappointed: then Chloe came out, she is beautiful, and Jonny followed shortly and said hi..other unknown vips, then we and the victims spotted Dave and called him, he went inside to call the other killers, who came out to sign things and taking pics, that was great, Ronnie (the drummer) confirmed us they're coming back to play in Italy :D in the meantime Gwyneth came out, and all the paparazzi took pics of her.

 

P.S. Big ups to Kelly for going up and say things to the first in lines, you're so funny, it was nice meeting you, and also Mich, Lori and Kirsten :nice: and sorry for not coming up to introduce myself to all the coldplayers, I felt embarassed doing it :P

 

@sophierose: glad to see a victim here, and a DVD :dance: :dance:

I love how he hops back on his chair at about 3:30mins...

Will' date=' who took me by surprise as when he saw me and shook my hand gave me a kiss on the cheek and said he was happy to see me again, my face turned :stunned: I was so shocked that I asked him if he was sure he really did recognise me, and he did, [/i']

Amazing pics!! Thanks so much for sharing! :)

not really sure, I only saw one tweet back on my phone but when I checked the @coldplayinghq search there was 4 pages worth!

Some of us are still trying to figure the whole Twitter business out...

 

Can you only send someone a reply if your following them and they're following you?

 

No, you can reply to anyone, whether you're following them/they're following you or not :)

Who needs the Oracle when you've got Mods?!!

I was just worried that I would have to start tweeting all day with a pink phone until I got mine to work :laugh3:

Oooh Kirsten, you're making me remember it all again, he was so lovely. Me and Anna nearly got killed running across the road and Chris said "don't get run over now" and he said he had to go soon as it was "tea time" then I went round to his left side cos I know he writes with his left hand and just kind of eased my map of Camden and pen into his hand getting a good old touch of it at the same time.

 

When he'd signed "love Chris" (Squeeeeeeeeeee ), he was just about to use my pen for the next person but then gave it back to me (another touch, oops it's so hard to take a pen) and took their's instead.

 

I was also touching his arm throughout all this. He said "did you enjoy the encore" everyone agreed and I said it was great, "all my best three boys on stage together "(meaning Chris, Brandon and Bono) and he laughed, I'm hoping he thought I said my three best bands not boys. I can't believe I said that!

 

Then he said he had to get home, he said goodbye and we all thanked him and he was in the car and gone! We were then there on cloud 9 for about another hour until we got a taxi organised along with the help of a nice kind policeman. We got to the hotel gone 4am.

Another quick bit before I go back yet again to London to catch the train home...

 

When we got across the road and joined the throng Chris said "Thanks for waiting out here in the cold for so long" Bless him, I would have waited all night. :D

 

Much much later when we were waiting for the taxi and the crew were coming out with their suitcases etc Anna spotted Hoppy so we called out to him and he looked surprised that we knew his name but pleased when we said "great gig!"

 

and I nearly knocked Neil Tennant over in my rush to the other end of the building to see The Killers coming out.

 

Right, more later!!
