May 19, 200917 yr Hey everyone!! Birmingham was amazing last night! So was Oxfam!!!! I also saw the sound check, which I was not supposed to see...:wink3: Jonny waved at me & I was sitting first row, inches from Guy listening to them play "Everything's Not Lost"!! It was magical!! I'll post more later, with pics, as I just woke up since my mom & I drove back from the concert at 2AMish our time and got home a little after 4AM. But it was more than worth it! Now I REALLY want to start an Oxfam club at my school, and do more with them, THEY are also truly amazing! I'm so pumped!!! more later...;)thanks! :D
May 19, 200917 yr Coldplay, Coldnight Last night was the much anticipated return trip to Birmingham by one of my all time favorite bands, Coldplay. They came to the Amphitheater and it was cold, probably a record low for a May night in Alabama, but at least it wasn't raining. I saw them years ago at the concert hall, I wasn't really a fan, but Husband worked for the radio station or still had connections there, and we ended up with 2 last minute tickets, my Sister was a huge fan so I went with her. They put on one of the most incredible shows I have ever seen, I walked away from that concert converted. We had tickets to see them while I was pregnant with Munchkin. Sister was on her way down from Kentucky when the show was cancelled due to *ahem* illness... Whatever. I was pissed at them, they never added us back on that tour, so 3 long years later, we finally got the chance to see them again, and again, they did not disappoint. They are true crowd pleasers and they are one of those bands that actually sounds as good (maybe even better) in concert than on their albums. The highlight of the night for us was when Chris Martin (and band) decided to play to the cheap seats and literally walked 3 feet from us on the way to the stage that was set up maybe 15 feet away, they played 2 songs and we were in heaven. What we learned about Chris Martin during that time: 1. He's not as skinny as I thought he was and, 2. He wears whitey tighties. We won't hold that against him, as we put it to a vote and decided he is still highly doable. MommaPeas and I have also figured out that their song "Fix You" should be used in the next Twilight movie, New Moon. While we think it would have been a great pick for the ballet studio in Twilight, it would be equally good for New Moon, when Bella is running through the crowd in Italy, trying to get to Edward, can't you picture it? Chris Weitz if your reading, just a little something to think about... http://www.theincoherentramblings.com

May 19, 200917 yr just wondering, how did the CD distribution go after the show? Rollingstone.com posting a review of the tour kickoff and commented on the debacle of the CD giveaway. Sure hope RS.com is overstating it. if they can't get it right in an amphitheatre they'll have no hope with 60,000 at the SkyDome!
May 19, 200917 yr God, how slow could youtube possibly be? :dozey: *waits patiently* It's in a slowness compo with photobucket :dozey:

It was slow getting out and security were asking people to just leave and we refused. :P So they had people that wanted the CD line up toward one side and people that just wanted to leave could pass quicker on the other side. That helped a lot. It took me maybe 10 minutes of waiting to get one. Considering I had spent around 9 hours down there....10 minutes was a cake walk. :laugh3:
