March 18, 201016 yr at least he wasn't barefooted when you saw him and the look on your face :stunned: it was beyond shock! :lol: Ummmmmm he does have Phil cheeks. Jen is there something you need to tell us? :p I'm telling you, my heart stopped there for a sec! I had made peace with the fact I'd seen his dad and not him. I was NOT expecting him to pop out of nowhere when I was on my way out :dead:

March 19, 201016 yr Author Being late to the topic has it's advantages - I got to read it all in one sitting. :) Angie, thanks so much for sharing your adventure in such detail and in a candid manner. I enjoyed the journey vicariously! JasonDude, J was super psyched about the people that bought his guitars. I wish you could have come to tell him about yours.

March 22, 201016 yr OMG, I just found this thread now!!:blank: I need to say: so wonderful everything that happened with you, Angieee!! I'm really happy for you!! The pics, the stories, all the things!!! And Ryan's mini car!! So sweet!!! OMG, I wanted so much a Coldplay Karma like this!!! You should be in the clouds!!! Congrat, Angie!!!:happy2:
March 26, 201016 yr 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. You should have hugged him, Angie :wink: :D Felling dejected I say fuck it, lets go have a drink! So down to the bar we go. We arrive around 7pm. We sit and here comes my bestest friend, Sebastian to take my order when Kirsten starts kicking me under the table. WTF woman! Then I see Will and Guy walk by and sit 2 tables over from us! :o They sit and talk, order drinks. Will had beer, Guy had wine. There are some dudes in suits, not regular Coldplay security, but security staff of hotel standing off to side just outside bar area. We sit and try not to stare, decide it is best to not bother them while they are seated and wait until they get up to leave to ask for a pic. Vicky Taylor keeps popping in and out to ask them stuff. We sit and wait and when they stand to leave, they have to walk right past us. I stand and start to ask for a pic when security swoops in. Will says, no it's OK and they back off. Yah for Will! I have practiced over and over how to tell Ryan's story quickly so they will understand why I want a pic of them with this tiny red car. They are more than happy to pose. Woot 2/4 of Coldplay in one shot. Then Kirsten wanted a pic but her camera didn't work so i took one with mine. Kelly and her husband, Kevin arrived about 15 minutes after they left. Kelly was just sick! She's been to many shows but hasn't meet any of them. Dammit! :angry: I am most happy. Sebastian, more tequila por favor! :D haha Sebastian! so lucky Kristen! :nice: After Will and Guy leave, someone at next table asks, who that was. :P Then we see Miller and Dan Green walking over the eat at the restaurant. The restaurant is separate from the bar/cafe. It is listed as being "more expensive" and formal on Expedia so fuck me I don't even want to know what shit there costs. :laugh3: We decide on same game plan, we'll only approach people when they are done and leaving. I mean who wants people all up in their business when they are trying to eat. So we are sitting and waiting when up walks band assistants EJ, Vicky and Debs! They sit at the exact same table where Will and Guy sat. WOW! We sit and wait for them to finish and when they stand to leave I walk up and ask for pics. I got to tell Vicky that I was the one that made her birthday banner in San Antonio. Aww she said thanks. :blush: I told Debs she needs to just once answer someone by telling them to learn to Google! :lol: We talked about Nettie and I thanked her for putting the tribute up on Coldplay.com. I also thanked her for getting the band to sign Sam's card for Jen and Ian. They were so nice. She should haha and she's so pretty! :nice: Around 9ish, Miller and Dan start to leave. Ha, they must walk past us to get out. :D We approach them and they are kinda taken aback. :P We get some pics and Kelly has brought one on the letters off her Viva car to try and get signed. Miller takes it and says he will ask the band and gets their room number so he can return it after they sign it. :stunned: I talked mostly to Dan. I told him I remember seeing them both way back during AROBTTH tour when they lived on buses, this is much nicer. They agree. :lol: Miller said that was his first tour with the band. I told Dan I bought one of Jonny's guitars in the auction and he was quit excited and asked which one. I told him and he said, "oh yeah, that's a good one" :dance: Dan looks so young! hehe Miller :D Now I am absolutely cuffed! I feel so victorious! :laugh3: I take Kelly's pic with the Mini We sit and talk about how lucky we have been that night and were going to leave but decide on one last round of drinks. Now where is Sebastian? So I've just finished my 10th shot of tequila of the evening and we are getting ready to ask for bill when down strolls Jonny and Chloe! And of course they sit and at the same frickin table! OMG it's like the lucky Coldplay table. :lol: They ordered drinks. Jonny gets up to go to bathroom and bends over to tell Chloe something and I see the top of his butt and almost scream! :o He goes to bathroom and Kelly tells Kevin to floow him and tell him we want to talk to him. :laugh3: Kevin says, I don't think so! :dozey: I tell him forget that, follow him and have a look for me. :wink3: He says no! :angry: I say even better take my camera and get me a pic. :sneaky: He says NO! Everyone all together now: BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO Kevin! :laugh3: Anyway we wait them out and stop they when they start to leave. I got to tell Jonny I bought his guitar and he got really excited about it. :dance: Then when I asked for a pic of him with the car, Chloe insisted that I get in the pic and she took my camera from me and she's the one who shot it! OMG if she only knew! :sneakyjoe: Did I mention I had 10 shots of tequila? Ha! This could get dangerous. :P Here's Kelly and Kevin talking with Jonny. OMG!!!!!!!!!!! ANGIE~!!!!! :bomb: ! I haven't finished reading the rest of the story but I just had to comment that this is so wonderful! I bet this was making Ryan smile wherever she is now like any Coldplay fan would :D aww Ryan! :nice: EDIT: I finished reading the story and it made me cry. Thanks for sharing with us Angie! :hug:
April 1, 201016 yr Just read this. Most epic! Congratulations, Angie, Pris, Kelly, and Julie, of course! :D Much love! :heart:
April 4, 201016 yr Very nice. It's cool they accepted the pics, talking etc Did you do anything else in any of the cities besides the gigs?
April 4, 201016 yr Author Very nice. It's cool they accepted the pics, talking etc Did you do anything else in any of the cities besides the gigs?I mostly contributed to the economy by consuming tequila. :D We had a walk about in Zona Rosa in MC, but not much sight seeing in the other cities. :\
April 4, 201016 yr Not only of bread man lives, but also Tequila :D What about food? Did you try at least quesadillas? Or were you afraid of Monntezuma's Revenge? You could have taken the Turibus in MC. For 12 USD or so a double decker bus takes you to some of the most representative places of the city in 3 hours approx. It includes headphones thAt you connect to the bus and get turisty info of the city in 5 different languages. In addition, you can hope on and off anywhere you want and with the same ticket all day.

My stomach was fine, my lungs didn't like MC. Between the pollution and the high altitude, I was really not very functional. We just weren't there long enough to see much stuff. Most of the time was either show days or travel days.
April 5, 201016 yr And the zone surroundig the Foro Sol is not nice at all :P But hey, did you see that tall skyscraper across the street? You could have gone there to a nice viewpoint on the top. Or 20 meters to your left you had the entrace to chapultepec park, in a gate surrounded by 2 lions, then walk straighy and get to a monument and Chapultepec Casttle in less than 5 minutes. The casttle is now a museum and it's a beautiful building with nice 360 views of the city.
April 5, 201016 yr I know I'm reeeaalllly late to this thread but in all seriousness, that's a good thing. I don't know if my F5 button would have survived if I'd been reading this as you were posting :P A truly amazing story Angie and I loved the way you told it too. Well done on getting all the mini pics, it's for a great reason. Great pics and story from Kelly too :D What an amazing time you guys had, Coldplay Karma was definitely with you. Thanks for sharing guys!!
April 8, 201016 yr Well the way I see it is...it doesn't matter about how much stuff she has, since she earned it. Plus she paid for the instruments and etc...if it was meant for her, it should have gone to her and if she wanted to give it to her friend or anyone that would be a different story. Now if Chris just threw it and it was a free for all for everyone to try and catch...that would be a different story also. It also suck, the fact that her friend didn't even acknowledge the situation and didn't even let her see the Harmonica =\ To be fair, you do have a lot of memorabilia such as instruments and picks and whatnot, Kirsten does not, so that little bit in there annoyed me a bit. But it's your story, I guess, and it is part of it for you, and probably why you let her keep it. :shrug:
April 10, 201016 yr Angie, I finally made it here to read your story, Todd said you posted it. I was so excited reading it I thought I would throw up! :p haha A great story and adventure as always. When they come to Seattle you have to come! Miss you mucho! xoxo
