From the clips I've seen of the Manchester shows, the audiences there are very exuberant.

:lol:

I get kinda scared of his "fix you" dance moves, can you imagine what he'd do if he was on drugs?? :drunk:

 

If that's the case, then I'd urge Tampa gig goers to sit on a very comfy chair and waaaaaaaaaait :dozey:

 

Chris' spastic dancing during "Fix You" is my favorite. He completely surrenders to the music.

Just landed in Tampa from Chicago.

Nonononono!!!!

 

!Stayed up all night painting an awesome banner for Elbow -

 

- got one professionally printed for CP. Beaded matching butterfly necklaces for all the girls

meeting up. (silly, I know)

 

-spent tons of non-refundable moolah. I am just sick.

Oh, I never even thought about Elbow - I know so many people were excited about seeing them, and whenever the rescheduled show happens, the chances of them being there are really slim.

 

What did your banner look like? They'd have been so chuffed to see one especially for them - you should take a photo and mail it to their website or something (and post it on here too!)

 

I hope you make it to the rescheduled gig! :hug:

Sorry Kelly :hug:

:drunk:more than a few:angry::lol:

 

:lol: unfortunately, i was saving the drinking for the after-show party lol

 

Ok everyone, I just got to my friend's house in Atlanta. I got texts fron Kaleigh and Tracey as soon as I landed. I'm on page 69, and you guys are up to page 79, so I haven't yet read any commnents or anything. but I AM SO FREAKING BUMMED!!! We left for the airport at 5:15 this morning, so I didn't go online. I'll see what you all have been saying as I read the next few pages :cry:

 

i'm sorry Dianne :(:(

i'm so sorry, Kelly :cry: those butterfly necklaces sound amazing!

 

gahhh i'm just sorry and sad about all of this :bigcry:

I booked a non-refundable room through AAA :cry: Oh well...I should go, though. I don't want to just keep monopolizing my friend's computer. Please someone text me if there is any news or changes. I'll try to get on again later.

 

I hope these aren't the last real life pics I get of them from the July 19, Irvine,CA show

 

The locals and those who made it to Tampa should definitely get together and have a drink. Please give Dianne a hug for me. :hug::hug: She probably needs it now. I feel for her!

 

The truth is that I could have gotten a RT ticket for $200 on Priceline but I decided not to go because of other commitments that I have at work and home. I could have easily been among the rest of you, left hanging in limbo, 3,000 miles or more from home.

 

Yet, we all feel sad for Chris' illness and hope he gets the rest he needs. I was surprised at how strong he was on the second night I saw him. He actually seemed fresher and perkier at that show than at the one the night before, and his voice was strong and clear. I especially noticed how when, he laughed, he seemed to do it from deep in his belly. He accidentally laughed during the beginning of "Politik" and apologized.

 

Their having cancel tonight's show proves that the stress of traveling catches up with even the strongest and the best of characters like Chris Martin.

I'm absolutely terrified that they won't find time to reschedule and they'll just end up issuing refunds. Of course, that's the worst possible scenario but still a very realistic one. It'll hard to fit Tampa into their schedule. Ahh! Here's to hoping for the best but preparing for the worst. I hope Chris gets better soon, and I hope everyone who is majorly affected by this, i.e. out-of-towners, can fix their flights and such. What a depressing situation this is!

 

I still have two tickets I need to sell, so I guess I have time to sell them.

I might have to go to the store and get a pound bag of M&M's too, and flip on the 2003 DVD:D

 

I must do that

 

especially since I just got home from being guilt tripped into going to the pool with my family, trying to give me something to do today because of the changed plans, and realized my epic picture post on the Charlotte thread failed 100% except for the text...arg.

 

I wonder if there's any chance I'll catch what Chris has since I have his towel from last night? :laugh3: then I could say "the bad news is I'm sick, the good news is, I got it from Chris Martin" :laugh3::laugh3:

Oh Kaleigh, I hope you don't get sick....

My hubby said if they don't do this show, that I could take my daughter out of school and go to Wembly. I need to work on the passport issues quickly tho.

Kelly, I am so very sorry for you, try and have some sort of fun.:cry:

I'll pace myself, lol

This is only if they don't play here. I would love to go to London again, I have so many relatives from there, but with my kids in school, it's more convienant to stay here:\

Nonononono!!!!

So sorry, and sorry to everyone else too XXX

we will definitely let you know as soon as we hear something! (Maybe Tracey will find out first since she won the contest? ) I'm so sorry you arrived in Atlanta and found out there wasn't going to be a show!! :veryangry2: I was driving back with my mom & brother from Charlotte & got Coldplay's tweet about it..I thought it was a joke or a dream. Maybe when you talk to Delta, you'll have heard of the new date & can just switch your flights, unless you decide to go to Tampa anyways ( all the coldplayers there should meet up & watch Live 2003! :D)

 

I don't know what else to say to Dianne, Kelly, and everyone else who began traveling today, yesterday, and/or who already paid for things that cannot be refunded :hug::hug: especially with the way things are these days & things canceled. Why do I feel like it's all my fault or something? but it's the virus's fault!

 

but I can't wait for the new date, whenever it may be...Coldplay+All of you guys=massive fun! maybe they'll play us a new song? or an oldie?? :\

CD & DVD!

 

Definitely the DVD/CD.

I'm feeling sorry for Kelly and just talked to her on the phone for a long time. I'm thinking I'm going to head down to Tampa anyway - my room is paid for, and have a good day at the beach, hanging with Kelly. And we will definitely have a few toasts for Chris and everyone else who was supposed to be there tomorrow night. Look at it this way, too, a lot of the fun of the concerts is the anticipation, right? This way we still have something to look forward to! I will see them again this tour! My husband actually asked if I wanted to to go Wembley, Sept 18 is my birhtday, but he may have been joiking. We'll see.

Awww that sounds nice :nice:

 

It is Florida after all :D

I am very, very sorry for all of you who have tickets for this show. of course i also hope for a quick recovery of chris

That sounds great...have a nice time on the beach, have a couple of drinks.

 

btw, where can I find a husband like yours?????

 

P.

I would also like to say that I am sorry to all the fans that were going to Tampa. I wasn't going but I can feel the dissappointment right a long with you! I was sad when I read the news :-(
