thanks, I see we have the same birthday :nice: so... Happy Birthday to you too, Julie :)

Thank you very much guys, very nice of you. :)

Hey Iris! I hope you're well. Sussex would be great I think. My friend goes there, so I've been around the campus and everything, its nice......set into a very countryside-y part of Brighton but only 20mins or so away from the town centre. and of course, I'm from Brighton, so I can vouch for it being a great place to go to uni. For one, it's less than an hour's train ride to London, so you can enjoy all of that. Brighton has so many shops, things to do, varied nightlife and the beach/sea :)

HAHA!!! yeah!!! I was loving Brandon :drunk: He was looking FINE!

You can see the rest of us there in that pic, but we're all blatenly staring at Jonny.... :lol:

Yay!!! Nice one :) I look demonic though :uhoh:

HAHAHAHA.

Here you go! http://img6.imageshack.us/my.php?image=picture7qd0.png

Yeah I noticed! I think it was absolutely pointless him being there. He was just basically posing :rolleyes:

Awwwww I loved your review Mich, like a photoblog :) and yeah.... I wish Chris had made eye contact with the audience.... Brandon did :wink3: :laugh3:

It happened to me for the second time!!!!! Just after I leave, Chris comes out!!! :\ Glad you guys got to meet him though :) Nice to meet you and nice review Anna :D I can't believe how many jaffa cakes I ate yesterday :embarassed: They were my lunch and dinner mixed into one though :lol: Btw....my long arms enabled me to get Jonny's setlist :dance:

I went past Wembley on the train, on the way back from London this morning. It's gonna be great :)

*apologies, this is really long* and I did the same as Mari :D haha!! :) I'm back and absolutely and utterly exhausted. Yesterday was a truly great experience! Not just the gig itself but meeting everyone from here as well :) I arrived to a small cluster of Coldplayers who were already waiting behind The Victims.....apparently they'd already been saying a few things and a 'rivalry' had become apparent, hahaha. (more on that later). Great to meet the founders of Coldplaying :nice: Ian and Jen :D and everyone else in the queue, Mich, Lori, Kelly, Mari, Anna and everyone else :) :kiss: I dunno how we managed to pass the time really, but it was good fun being with everyone from here :) A mixture of going to the pub a few times (an alcoholic shot for me and Mich haha) and some buskers who were paid to sing to us and who sung Coldplay songs to us. some had dodgy endings or repeated verses but it was great fun to sing along. Also at this time, The Killers fans got rather annoyed because a sign went up telling them that their band was on first..... cue faces of thunder. They had previously been overheard saying something like, "this gig is The Killers, with Coldplay supporting" oops :mellow: So yeah....the time grew nearer to the doors opening... Some O2 people were giving out mini hotdogs and also free drinks vouchers ;) random! The Killers fans were at the front of the queue and so rushed in first, I managed to be one of the first Coldplay fans in and when I got inside, I saw that they had all run to be on the right hand side of the stage. ABSOLUTE RESULT!!! Leaving the barrier free for us in front of Jonny :) It was great with our Coldplaying posse all in one area, awesome :) I got rather pissed off at a stage light that was shining directly in mine and Kelly's eyes. Combine this with having to wait a further 2 hours inside at the barrier before anything happened, it was slightly tedious but worth the wait in the end. Soon, Steve Lamacq came on stage to introduce the event, and then The Killers were on!! I was looking forward to them, but they absolutely BLEW ME AWAY! Amazingly tight performance, even tighter trousers on Brandon (sorry...had to get that in there). He looked amazing!! :drunk: Really intereracting with the crowd so much. Mr. Brightside, even though it's the song everyone knows, was an absolute highlight of the night for me. It was incredible! I'm really happy I got to see them, because at Glastonbury 2007 I saw them but with really bad sound due to speakers going wrong :( Another great part of this, was that as we were on the left of the barrier, we had a good view of the right wings of the stage and we could firstly see Will, the whole time, singing and dancing, and later on Chris joined him as well. :cheesy: :dance: Okay.....so when they left, that Al 'comedian' guy came onstage.... it was pretty damn cringeworthy really. He didn't have much material to go on, plus I was a bit wary of being picked out and being made to say something, haha. He asked some woman from the crowd for a beer and then she asked for a kiss in return. He promptly leant over Mich and Lori and snogged this horrible woman.....ewwwwwww. GROSS. MOVING ON! So....we were all itching for Coldplay now. It seemed to take forever for them to set up! Finally they came out to Life in Technicolour :dance: Great to see them all so close :) eeeee! Violet Hill was great, however Jonny's guitar was turned up mega loud compared to the others and it sounded a bit strange. Still great though :nice: Clocks was awesome, think it's better in a bigger arena or a festival though, with the lasers. It was still brilliant to dance and sing to as always :) Chris also did an amazing 'back-bend' off of the piano stool at the end. Very flexible indeed. haha! :nice: In My Place, always one of my favourites to dance to, was greaaaaaaat. Chris and Jonny love as usual, especially the ending :heart: when Chris threw himself at Jonny's feet. aww :dead: Yellow :heart: I thought as this was a special gig they might throw in some older songs, but nope, as usual it was a bit of a viva-fest. :\ 42 and Lost were really good, especially Jonny rocking out...... Chris was being very, very crazy on stage, with wild eyes and he was doing a dance like he was imagining getting shot by a gun. Strange!!! but comical! :laugh3: Viva La Vida was great as well, everyone singing :) Coldplay were brilliant, but perhaps a little tired :\ Still, a brilliant performance, which only could have been made better by the inclusion of some different songs like Politik maybe. Thanks guys :kiss: Seeing Chris looking so goofy-happy that he had pulled off getting Gary Barlow to sing Back For Good with them playing was awesome. As it's such a classic English pop song, I thought it was brilliant singing along to it. Took me back to being a kid hahaha! Loved it. Chris was totally loving singing the backing vocals, 'want you back! want you back! want you back for gooooooood!' :lol: :heart: It was brilliant. :cool: Then next was the big finale.....The stage didn't look big enough for everyone! The Killers took most of their previous spots, with Jonny and Chris still staying with their guitars. Poor Will and Guy got relegated to tambourine and shakers at the back, :/ So yeah, they start singing All These Things I've Done. It was great. and then Bono appeared on stage! Mental! I'm not really a fan of him at all, so I just found it funny watching the ego.....haha. nah, he really didn't sing much at all, and was wearing heels :lol: Funny part was seeing Chris run over the side and drag Gary Barlow from the wings with a microphone to join in. I dunno if Gary felt a bit out of place hehe! aww. It was so so strange to see these four hugely famous bands/people on stage. crazy moment. Brandon looked like he was having a great time. Chris and Jonny stayed near each other :nice: and then it was over. boo! Ok.... I'm sorry for such a long report....I just like to do it this way :) It was so, so great to just share a gig with a lovely group of Coldplayers. The last couple of Coldplay gigs I've been to, I've been basically on my own (Brixton, Birmingham). It makes it a hundred times better being with the people that you talk to about the band all the time on here. Love all you guys! Wembley will be even better. ;) Great to meet Mich for the first time :nice: and see Mari again :) ..... and a big thanks to Kelly and Lori for letting me crash on their hotel room floor.... and you guys were so niiice. :kiss: Coldplaying group *group hug*! You know who you are! I'm dreading seeing myself in some of the photos taken...it was a tiring day :lol: Ps. that Times article is great.... especially "Realising that Barlow was nowhere to be seen, Martin – determined that the Take That frontman should also be in on this – almost pushed the U2 singer over in his sudden compulsion to run off in search of him." :lol: awwww....... :heart: I saw that and it was lovely of Chris! [sorry no pics from me!! My camera is still bust.... so I took one pic of Jonny on my phone but it's rubbish quality. HOWEVER, you are all in for a treat with everyone else's photos....particularly Kirsten's I think?? :dance: ]

I'm heading to London now....see you all later :)

I guess the Killers fans want to be front row. I hope they don't heckle Coldplay :lol: :inquisitive: but yeah.....its a small venue, so I will be happy wherever really.

Just got a message from Mich, The Killers fans/'Victims' already queuing....! eeeek

Oh dear, getting drunk last night wasn't the best plan I've had...... but hey. Heading into London soon to join people hopefully. and I did buy some jaffa cakes yesterday :shifty: eeeeeeeeeeeeeee!! I agreee about the times. but I guess, perhaps it's because of the Brits? :\

I'm a little bit druuuuuuuuuunk but I'M LOOKING FORWARD TO TOMOORRROOOOOOOOOOOOOW :wacky: :dance: yaaaaaaay :)

:lol:

I'm still so happy about this today!!!! I think it's just that the fact of knowing that all of the postcards on the table are from all of us lot, and being looked at by the guys..... :dead:

I want to know who sent the postcard from Norfolk :D hehehehe!

:embarassed: I feel a bit bad!! but earlier, I was thinking hmmmm it would be strange if after watching it about 20 times I stumble upon the other one somewhere. sorry! (its in the right hand top corner above the stamp logo, in the first shot again, b&w photo)

oh no!!! don't hit me, I just saw my 2nd postcard :uhoh:

This thread is not necessary at all today. bad idea!

awwww your postcard is touching mine :) hehe!! I hope they go to Finland for you. :D Mine is flat on the table
