Rest of tale not as exciting but I am more than happy to tell it if you all are interested.

 

Of course we are!! :wideeyed:

where did you found them?! im mexico city?!

I feel this will be "the thread that never ends, it just goes on and on my friend...."

OK so left Four Seasons around an hour after the band left. Our personal driver. Fab brought us to airport. :lol: We waited around and finally our gate was announced. Gate #69 :laugh3: I shit you not. Kirsten says what is the meaning of 69 and why do people always say things to me about my avi and JB's jersey. :laugh3: awww bless her little heart when I told her. :lol: The flight from Mexico City to Guadalajara is short. The cab ride to our hotel is not. And the driver thinks he in some kind of NASCAR/ demolition derby or something. :anxious: I hoping just to make it to hotel alive at this point. We are staying at the Fiesta Americana. It's 22 stories tall and has 4 glass elevators which freak Kirsten out. :P I think she may pass out everytime we get in one. On the first 8 or so floors, you see into the inner area where all the room are, but when I decide we should go up to floor 22 to take some pics and we get the full glass elevator effect of no hotel blocking the view she starts to turn a bit green. :sick2:

 

We have eat at hotel and my chicken dish gets lost in translation when I try to order some potatoes with my chicken and they bring me rice. :confused:

 

Anyway we crashed kinda early. The traveling takes it out of you and I'm still feeling altitude sick. Wake the next morning to this lovely sunrise.

 

This fountain was right outside our hotel. I was surprised to see that Trainer Dan also chose that spot for his puppet pic. Is he taunting me since I told him FFS man, we want band pics, not puppet pics. :angry:

 

 

The mini liked the views from way up high

 

Gate #69 :laugh3: I shit you not. Kirsten says what is the meaning of 69 and why do people always say things to me about my avi and JB's jersey. :laugh3: awww bless her little heart when I told her. :lol:

 

 

:lol:

Gosh, I have no words. :freak:

 

Ok, I do have some. Angie, thank you sooooo much for sharing this with us! :blush: What a fantastic experience!!! You clearly deserved every single moment of it! Thank you for putting HUGE smiles upon our faces, I bet everyone here is really excited and happy with your achievements! :nice: Congrats! :D

 

And you have such a beautiful heart. Ryan's parents must be really proud and extremelly happy! :smiley:

poor Kirsten and glass elevators!! haha the 69 story cracked me up :lol:

Angie, thank you SO much for all of the lovely stories! It almost makes me feel like I was there... almost. :lol:

Awww, the poor puppets- I hope when Viva is all said and done they put them up for auction- I wanna bid on the Chrissy/Jonny puppets to play with:sneaky::jbcm:

 

:awesome:

Not only was Kirsten sacred of the elevators but she was also scared of the toilet. :laugh3: It had a button on top that you push to flush and when you did it kinda kicked back. Ha she said she was going to have her fingers ripped off by it. :lol:

 

We arranged a taxi to and from show and went down around 6pm. We decided on the C stage again as no one was there. I mean no one. Finally after BFL a few people started to gather around. We started telling them Coldplay would be coming right there to play. They didn't believe us. :lol: Now I don't know much about Mexico, but I do know Guadalajara is where the tequila comes from and the footie club there, Chivas has some crazy ass supports in Houston so I expected a crazy crowd. I started to get a bit worried when police wearing riot gear came out in the crowd. :uhoh:

 

The crowd was off the hook crazy. They started doing this chanting/shouting competition between sections way before any of the bands took the stage. :D Dan Green came out to talk to me and said "oh this is going to be a great crowd" When Hoppy came to set up the C stage before BFL started, I tried to get a pic of him with the mini, but the lights went out before he could pose for me. Bless him, he didn't even ask. Hey Hoppy can you pose with this little car for me, Sure no problem just let me finish. :lol:

 

The crown was total bonkers and when Chris started singing Parachutes I was in such shock I almost could speak!

 

C stage time and here comes my BFF Jackie. :D

 

she came and talked with me. She said something like "I've seen you for 2 years on this tour" or "It'll be 2 years before I see you again on tour" I hope it was the first and not the second. :\ After I had talked with Dan and Jackie and Hoppy the people around me started to ask who the hell I was and how did I know all these people? :lol: The band took to the C stage and it was LOUD! Guy couldn't stop smiling and we could barely hear the band over the crowd. At one point Chris saw me and gave me a goofy wave smile and the girl behind me freaked out "OMG, He knows you! " :stunned: (around 6:10 mark) and then at end of DWNC he threw me his harmonica! I was filming with my right hand and he threw it to my left hand I started to drop it and Kirsten, who was standing on my right, reached across me and grabbed it. I though for me but no, she kept it. I was more than a little shocked. I was rather upset. When the show was over I asked why she did that. She said he meant it for her. It's funny because before that show started we talked about the 2nd night in MC when Chris threw it to some girl and this guy snatched it from her and big bad ass Kelly swooped in and took it back for the girl. Well there would be no Kelly tonight and now I must push on because we have several more days together and another show. She never mentioned it and never even showed it to me. When we got back to the hotel, she went to bed and I got drunk. End of.

Of the 3 cities Guadalajara was my favorite to visit. the people were all so nice and the town really beautiful. When I go back to Mexico I will def visit Guadalajara.

Guadalajara was the only show I was brave enough to carry the mini to.

Here it is checking out the main stage

 

and the C stage

awww Angie, they should make you part of the roadies team for the next tour!

awww Angie, they should make you part of the roadies team for the next tour!

I had a dream I quit my job and did the whole tour. Who knows, it could happen. :D

I may repeat everything everyone has been saying today, but wow, you are so lucky :D I am very happy for you :)

Awzzuuuuuum :wacko:

Where is the gif in your siggy from? The Coldplay Live dvd?

 

Yes.Tour Diary.

Its smexy.

hehe awesome! you should be a roadie or at least the historian! :lol:

I thought your stories were over but it seems you have much more! :freak: How come you said it was the end of the interesting ones, Angie? This is still AWESOME!

 

And, yeah, you should def be a roadie! I would vote for you :nice:

HOLY SHIT ANGIE!! When you told me some of the story while you were in Mexico, I had NO idea it was THIS amazing!!! :awesome::dead:

 

This is like Coldplay-Karma overload!!!! Wow, you are so, so lucky. That's so great you got the Mini with all of them and had such a wonderful time. I think it's going to take something pretty amazing to top this one for you.

 

So you were able to recover all your Guadalajara pics/vids then? Thank goodness!!! I was worried for you. I tell you one thing, I sure wish I had met you all down there, lol. But then again, who would've known all this would've happened?!

 

Just amazing. Full stop!

So on Wednesday we leave Guadalajara for Monterrey. Pris happen to be booked on the same flight as us so we ended up meeting at airport. The flight between the cities is fairly short. I didn't know Mexico had so many mountains. Each city was surrounded by them. But Monterrey had the most.

 

Pris was staying in town and we were staying out by the venue. We checked into our hotel and there was a bar next door. We went and ate there. Monterrey was more difficult for us, Not many people could speak English and my Spanish is limited to ordering booze and asking where the bathroom and footie stadium are. :laugh3: Do you really need to know more than that, I think not. :smug:

 

We try and arrange a taxi for the show the next day. Getting there no problem, getting back huge problem.

Before we leave I go to check my memory card's free space and accidently reformat it! Noooooooooooooo! Fuck fuck fuck! It has all my Guadalajara stuff. Not the mini pics as those cards are locked in safe at hotel.

 

Last show day. The driver takes us there around 6 and tells us where he will pick us up after the show. We go in and C stage is area is empty but we can see a clear spot on the Ramp of Love. Well not clear, there are 3 security guys standing there talking and I go and ask them to please move and they do. It's a great spot because that's the place on the ramp where Chrissy does most of his drama flopping about. :laugh3: The crew comes out all dressed in their finest Mariachi gear.

Steph

Paul, Guy's bass tech

 

Hoppy

 

Matt

 

Bash, who also had a fake mustache :sombrero:

Nick who rocks the dreads

 

Rick came out on the ramp and I called his name and he kinda freaked out. " how do you know me?" :uhoh: :p

 

 

The show was very emotional for me. Last ramp of love Jonny and Chrissy luff action. :cry:

Strawberry Swing which J and C used to get together and play/dance at the end, they now ask for lights out and people to hold up cell phones. What are they doing back there in the dark? :sneaky:
