July 22, 200917 yr Chris did an autograph at the C-Stage?? LUCKY! No, it was on the aisle they went up to get to C stage. We were sitting in Orchestra right on the aisle, about 10 rows back from the stairs they came down from the stage on, then ran up the aisle. Chris and Will slapped my hand on the way up, then Chris stopped next to me and signed the girl's program. I couldn't believe he stopped! Here's when they just walked down from the stage. I had my zoom lens on and believe it or not, they were *too close to me.
July 22, 200917 yr Big time withdrawals. I keep watching the youtube videos from LisaNoelle, the best I've seen, both from Sat and Sun shows. My ipod has been going nonstop. And I'm stalking all the threads. I even put all 240 pics I took on my iTouch. I'm so so sad it's over. My husband has a business trip coming up in Boston on Aug 6 for a conference. They're playing there Aug 9, I want to go so badly, but my daughter has a soccer tourny in San Diego that weekend and I suppose she can't really go alone - she's only 10. My kids and husband think I'm nuts, but I just can't get the concerts out of my head. And especially, I keep going over and over the few seconds I had to talk to Will - and hearing his voice thanking me and saying that he hopes I will enjoy the show. And the radio station *still* hasn't emailed out the group shot of all of us, the one where I'm right next to Will and Chris has his arm around my husband. I'm sad the meet and greet was only literally less than a minute, and that I didn't break the rules and take my own pics of the guys. Jackie told us no personal photos or autographs, there was no time. Yeap, same here. Coldplay concert withdrawls, is NOT a pretty thing! Nah, you're not nuts, you're a devoted fan. If given the chance, I'd go see them again. I'd be like you considering it all the way. :) You are so lucky for those few moments!! It sucks it couldn't have been more organized and you all could have spent some quality time with the boys. :( I soo would have snuck my camera in..haha. Hopefully, the email them soon and then you have to post them. :) :)
July 22, 200917 yr wow!!! that's so cool!! what a lucky girl, I wonder if anyone has their program & a pen outstretched past where they walk, if they'll sign!
July 22, 200917 yr My set lists from Carson and Irvine. I am so framing these as soon as I get a chance!
July 22, 200917 yr wow!!! that's so cool!! what a lucky girl, I wonder if anyone has their program & a pen outstretched past where they walk, if they'll sign! Maybe. Always worth a shot if you're in an end seat. She is super lucky!!
July 23, 200917 yr I wanted to post a few of my pictures... more to come, I also should have my videos of the show uploaded by the weekend:
July 23, 200917 yr I was going through the pics on my point and shoot camera and hadn't realized that my husband had taken a couple of the band when they came back to meet us. After the second picture is when I talked to Will. :bomb: They're pretty bad, but you can see Chris and Will. And the third one is my husband and me when we moved ourselves up to the 3rd row for The Scientist and LIT2. The girl sitting next to us offered to take a pic. The security guard was blocking the pit. I was wearing my butterfly shirt. :)
July 23, 200917 yr I feel your pain. It is taking all that I have to not go to the Boston show. Darn husband and daughter are always holding me down :). I would totally be like angie and do some major travelling to see them if it wasn't for my family. My daughter is 5 and she has already been to 2 shows with me though..... make sure you post whatever the ex boyfriend sends you from the dressing room!! Big time withdrawals.

The security guard was blocking the pit. I was wearing my butterfly shirt. :) Not too bad. Can see the boys, awesome. :) Haha, I remember you coming up to the security guard outside the venue, asking about the meet and greet before the doors opened. It was just me and my bff and two other people standing there when you came up. LOL.

OMG you can hear us talking on the Strawberry Swing one. "Dude, he looked at me!" HAHAHAHA. At least my annoying screaming isn't in that video.

I would totally be like angie and do some major travelling to see them if it wasn't for my family. My daughter is 5 and she has already been to 2 shows with me though..... She's gonna grow up being a huge Coldplay fan. You're teaching her well and at a young age. :)

It was just me and my bff and two other people standing there when you came up. LOL. That's too funny...I was so freaked out that we would miss it because the line went almost down to the water park. We only live 10 minutes away from Verizon, and my husband decided he wanted to stop at a drive thru and get a sandwich and it took forever. So I was stressed out, lol. I didn't need to worry - but I know they're on a tight schedule and if we were supposed to be there at a certain time, then dammit, I wanted to be there. I'm still kind of bummed about the whole meet and greet, but I have amazing pictures, and memories.

She's gonna grow up being a huge Coldplay fan. You're teaching her well and at a young age. :) She loves them! She knows song names and who all of the band members are. She will acutally request songs of theirs that she wants to hear in the car. It is too cute! Her name is Violet (def had her before the band named a song after her) so she loves that there is a song with her name in it.

She's almost 2 years old.

August 1, 200917 yr I had such a great time at this concert, I *had* to see the boys again. So I am flying to Florida by myself to see their last US show in God knows how long. I told you all that I won a radio station contest for Cocktails with Coldplay, that ended up being a rushed photo op because they were running so late after doing a "Stripped" show in Hollywood that same night. I was really really disappointed that our meet and greet got the short end of it all. But I did get a picture from it, and I am standing right next to Will :heart::heart: :heart: and trying not to hyperventilate. My husband is in the blue shirt next to Chris, and Chris had his right arm around my husband's shoulder. Will is taller than I thought he'd be, I'm 5'11. The resolution isn't that great but the guy who sent it to me from the radio station said it was the best he could do... Also, my daughter's ex-boyfriend works at Verizon Amphitheater, and cleaned out Coldplay's dressing room after they were gone, and found a daily schedule. He just mailed it to me. Now I *really* can't wait for Aug. 9 and the PIT .
August 1, 200917 yr WOW! You are so lucky to be able to go on such an adventure =] How much were the plane tickets and you are gonna be in the pit for that performance? You should make a sign or something!!! It's gonna be so bittersweet.....great to be there but sad that it will be their last in a while! Be sure to keep us posted and post lots of pictures!
