Coldplay.com is not working for me - anyone else getting beyond the first page?

 

Maybe they're about to update???

Awesome pice Dianne !

So glad you're having a great time :nice:

p.s. Angie, I loved you blog on the Texas concerts. I felt as if I were there. I remember your saying you were waiting in your car, polluting the Dallas air to have air conditioning. I'd like to catch up on it if you've written more.

 

It's weird that I feel incredibly depressed about the whole experience of yesterday's show being canceled in Tampa even though I wasn't directly affected. I feel for my fellow Colplayers. I don't recall feeling this despondent in a long, long, time.

aww thanks. I feel so bad for Mel because she won't get to see Elbow. I keep telling her to ditch that Manchester show and lets do Dublin instead but she won't do it. :bigcry:

 

Thanks for reading my blog. My latest "lack of Tampa" review is up on there now.

Bugger!

 

coldplay.com is working again but there's no update :(

DIANNE!!!! BEST COLDPLAY LIVE PUPPETS EVER!!!!!!!!!!! They need to post those from Roadie #42 on his next update, that was cool, appreciate all the pics and of the venue, I think I might have spotted my VIP area,:laugh3: Hopefully this contest group of peeps won't forget me. I'll make sure to keep bugging them.

The site is taking so long to update a re-schedule cause I am betting they are putting together a Latin Tour and setting dates and stuff and then we will be added.

Hi Dianne,

 

I want to THANK YOU so much for sharing these WONDERFUL PIX with us. :kiss: I'm so glad that you did have some fun even though the show was postponed. And I am pleased to see that you are smiling and very positive in spite of the disappointment. :)

 

Not only the great pix, but particularly the TEXTS made me laugh a lot :laugh3: - I love your creativity and your humour.

Now I wonder if it was possible for you, without too much trouble, to transfer the texts and the pictures - of you and the 3 other girls "on dolphin cruise" as well as the picture of you in front of the Amphitheatre and/or of the empty venue - to banners or t-shirts to be shown at the rescheduled concert so that the band will actually see / read them. I read the review of the concert on 7 August including about Iriden's (Denise, right?) and friend's (Helena, right?) banners with the text "Coldplay's missionaries in foreign fields" - Chris and Guy read the banner text at the show on 7 August 2009 and bowed and laughed, respectively. I am sure that they will be impressed and probably laughing having seen these pictures and read the wonderful texts. :)

Angie, Thank-You for sharing your Blogs!!! They were wonderful!

diane, that is one of the greaest posts we have ever seen!!! so creative!!!. you guys are the best!!! made my day after me and my dog were attacked by a swarm of bees, the bees won, 7 to 0 but if you guys can be this positive, so can i. poor Lola though is hurting a bit

Hello Dianne...

 

I just wanted to say "Hey!" there and to formally introduce myself here on the site. Glad you had a decent time in Tampa. Sorry you had to fly out from Cali...hopefully will work out and you'll get to see Chris and crew again!

 

Sam

...hopefully will work out and you'll get to see Chris and crew again!

 

 

Not if she has tickets for the same night as Sam the jinx :P

OK I am summing up the way I feel with no news or update the last couple of days, as being like ON THE ISLAND OF MISFIT TOY'S THINKING SANTA HAS FORGOTTEN US:laugh3::laugh3:

Well...how long did it take to reschedule that cancelled New York show?

aww thanks. I feel so bad for Mel because she won't get to see Elbow. I keep telling her to ditch that Manchester show and lets do Dublin instead but she won't do it. :bigcry:

At least you had Patron - we drowned our sorrows in chips and salsa and 2 for 1 margaritas at Chilis. And we all had a nice weekend away with friends, old and new, right? And um, we got to go somewhere we might not have even gone to. And uh, a change of climate is always good?

 

Ok ok, nothing will quite make up for missing the boys - and I was looking forward to Elbow, too. Two shows with KDL and Amadou and Mariam was enough - while they were fine, a change would have been nice.

I was there, too, as I didn't "get the message" about the postponement until I arrived at the Tampa venue about 2:00-ish on Sunday afternoon. Totally bummed. But I am encouraged that we haven't received notice of a cancellation yet. That means that they are indeed trying to figure out a way to get this show rescheduled, somehow.

 

I'm not counting on it, though. The logistics seem incredibly difficult.

 

I drove back up from Florida yesterday (was staying right on the edge of WDW property in Lake Buena Vista for Saturday and Sunday nights). Jackson Browne was incredible in St. Augustine on Friday night, the Magic Kingdom was exhausting (and EXTREMELY hot and humid) on Saturday, then Sunday was, well, a pretty big let down. But I'm holding out hope....

Aww, thanks everyone. We figured since we wouldn't get the real puppets, we were the next best thing. :lol:

Did you talk to that nice livenation guy at the parking booth? He felt really bad for people who hadn't heard, and told us about the sadness, shock and tears. I would not have wanted his job, especially when we saw the party Hummer drive up. MK is fun, but yeah, hot and exhausting. That's cool you got to see Jackson Browne, too. Are you one of us Coldplay fans of "advanced age?"

Dianne.... Advanced Age........:laugh3::laugh3::laugh3:

Dianne.... Advanced Age........:laugh3::laugh3::laugh3:

 

Eh? Can't hear you. I need to turn up my hearing aid. Don't make me shake my cane at you, wait where are my glasses? Oh yeah, you're older than I am.

So I just noticed I got a tweet from some news guy in St. Pete wanting to know if I wanted to be interviewed on camera regarding the postponement - oh well, too late now.
you could always do it by email! :D

Hey take it easy there RedGirl! ;-)

 

I haven't been made an official jinx just yet..haha..

 

Sam

Still no news,eh?:\

 

No, I just asked the Oracle. lol

awesome blog Angie!! Awesome pics Dianne!!! you should send those to Roadie #42! I'm sure he'd put them all if not one up on the next blog! dedicated & die-hard fans who flew from faraway places, and went to the "Coldplay spots" in Florida! awesome! I'm definitely going to find the place of The Hardest Part video next time I'm there (where is it exactly?)

Anyways, it looks like you all had a great time, I wish I went!! I think we need to start having Coldplaying conventions, and go to famous "Coldplay spots" (or colplay as that flashing sign said outside the venue, lol)

for real!!! and that's funny you say that because I always joke with my family that the day of a Coldplay concert always feels like Christmas when I was little :laugh3: can't sleep, too excited to do anything but think about it and plotting ways to find them! :laugh3::laugh3:
