March 14, 201016 yr Author After a walk around Zona Rosa, we all headed back to hotel. I needed a drink so down to the bar we went. We go to elevator, door opens and a really hot man is standing inside. :sneaky: He looks a wee bit like Berryman, but much cuter. He says Hi, we say Hi and Kirsten and I both look at each other like we both know this guy from somewhere but can't quite put our finger on where. :thinking: We all exit on ground floor, he leaves hotel, we go to bar. We sit there trying to think of who this man is when we both realize at same time it was Mat Whitecross! Kirsten says he's in Mexico to film Coldplay. Well if Mat is staying at Four Seasons, then Coldplay are most likely to be staying there as well. :dance: We'll find out the next day as that's when they are due to arrive. :whip:
March 14, 201016 yr Author OK so the Four Seasons is like Fort Knox! There is a metal detector at the door and a bag search when you enter. Then there are guards posted on some of the floors. Our floor has at least 3 guards on duty 24 hrs a day. We walk around the hotel to see where the elevators are, there's only one set :sneaky: , and where things are located, pool, gym stuff like that. While we are sitting at bar, 3 men come and sit at table next to us. Then I notice there are at least 8 guards wearing suits and talking into their sleeves surrounding the area. :uhoh: I kinda get freaked out. I ask the waiter, Sebastian, who the hell these guys are and should I maybe not make any sudden movements for fear of having my head blown off. :lol: He says it's no big deal, the security here is always like this and not to worry. Kirsten has a margarita, I prefer my tequila straight. In the room, there is a mini bar and a price list. We laugh at the cost of a bottle of water and that becomes our new money standard. How much is that sandwich, it's 3 bottles of water, ect. :lol: I ask for a shot of Patron silver, my fav tequila. Sebastian comes to my table to inform me that it is very expensive and blah blah blah. I don't need a lecture, just a drink so just bring it dude! This is how Sebastain became my tequila friend. :P I then moved on to something called the "Three Silver Tequilas Tasting" which is 1 shot of 3 different tequilas plus a shot of what they called sangria (bloody mary mix without the booze). This 3 shots of tequila and a shot of sangria becomes my standard drink. It costs around 2 bottles of water. :lol:
March 14, 201016 yr It's the Four Seasons, that's why. :dozey::P that's like a luxury hotel? :embarrassed:
March 14, 201016 yr Holy crap, why is everything so expensive? For a quick comparison, a bottle of water was 60 pesos, which converts roughly to $4.78 American dollars. :) Mexico uses the $ for pesos...
March 14, 201016 yr ^That makes more sense, thank you! that's like a luxury hotel? :embarrassed: Yeah, its a luxury hotel
March 14, 201016 yr Author Day 2, March 5th OK The Coldplays are due in today. We start off with a lovely breakfast at the Cafe. Have another walk around Zona Rosa, high altitude still fucking with me. :( We discuss when we think band will arrive. We think they will maybe leave Columbia around noon and should arrive sometime around 4pm. We go hang around in lobby to wait. While waiting we see Mat Whitecross returning to hotel. He has to go thru security like everyone does and when he gets inside I call his name. He smiles and comes over to chat. :D We talk about him being there to film. I tell him I have been at several shows that he's filmed and enough already, WE WANT OUR BLOODY DVD! We don't want to hear any of that archival footage crap! He laughs. He says it's not up to him. He's so flippin hot! And nice. And smiley. :blush: We asked for pics, then he had to hurry off. OK ignore me in the pic.
