I applied, though I doubt I will get tickets; I think I used all my luck when I won the boat passes. Chelsea, I have been meaning to give you this for a few days now, not sure if you want it as my big head is blocking Chris in the photo; but I thought you would like it as he is signing your book. :D 50 minutes to go!!!!!!!!!

Either that or we will totally freak if we see ourselves in the video :laugh3:.......is it Wednesday yet? :thinking:

:lol:

He does look good in that pic, I just wish I knew it was him while we were at the set.....I could have tried to get his attention or something lmao

Thanks :) Thanks, I loved that one too, I just had to make a quick banner with it for my signature :D

Thanks :D; I have one of the boat as my wallpaper. I'm sure it will all sink in one day lol - such a great night, I just can't wait to see the final video :D I can understand that, I think I would feel the same if I didn't go. Awesome!! I wonder if it's the same one I have as my desktop pic :cool:

It's a shame you can't pre-order it on itunes, though I doubt I'll forget to get it lol

I loved that one too; I just had to make a quick banner with it for my siggy :D

Oh wow I just saw the clip on coldplay.com; now how can anyone say that wasn't worth it. Guy's face as he watches the ballons go up....cutest ever!!! Video on repeat...OMG is it Wednesday yet!!!!!!!!!!! Thanks so much Ian :D Your gifs are awesome Chelsea, thanks :)

I thought so :D I was surprised he remembered you (considering all the fans he must meet), that must have felt awesome :D Did you stay until they finished? Also did you get the slightly bigger version of the picture I uploaded for you? and do you know who's camera Phil used for the first group picture he took of us? Sorry so many questions....

I think itunes will probably crash Weds at 8pm with all the people downloading the song and video lol

I'm the one in the brown coat....too shell shocked to believe it....lmao. We're you the guy behind me in the group pic that Chris recognised?

I had a fantastic time and feel honoured to have been chosen to be a part of their new video. Like I said above I loved meeting you, though I was a little shy and embarrased to keep repeating my username (Should have thought of something better). It's been awesome seeing the boat pictures on the newspaper websites :D now i'm even more excited to see the finished video. Also I think its great that we can still submit questions for the Q&A that didn't happen......now all I need to do is try and think of a good one lol ApproximatelyInfinite So glad you managed to meet Chris and the band, I was there with you before you left for the toilet hunt; I was lucky Chris came over when he did, if it was 10 minutes later I probably wouldn't have still been there. Jack1505 Liked your demo :D

Now I'm home form work and I have to say "Best night ever!!!!!" Not only starring in a Coldplay video, but to actually see it being made, then to meeting Phil and Chris.... just unbelievable. I thought I would share my photos on my Chris encounter and a scan of my picture I received from Phil - which Chris signed the back of with a personal message just for me!!!!! I loved that Chris asked if we were all okay, the crew handed out hand warmers to ensure we stayed warm and when Phil came over and told us we looked amazing on the boat. But the best moment ever; Chris and Phil began walking towards us; getting closer and closer...I rushed to get my camera ready and gave it to my husband (the guy in the shorts who had been waited so patiently with me) in case I had a chance of a photo op. To our surprise they handed out the awesome signed photos; then Chris unexpectedly moved the barrier and came and stood with us as he signed the reverse side of the photos he has just given us. He asked us if we were okay, and said he had time for one photo op, but luckily my husband snapped a picture of me with Chris as he signed my photo.... what a moment. Also shook his hand and told to him to "Keep up the good work; and say hi to the others." Totally amazing & awesome night. I was so nice to put faces to the names of the Coldplayers, I loved meeting you. Also a huge thanks to Ian, Jen & SueDeNimes for running the competition and organising everyone. Also thanks sooo much to Coldplay HQ for organising the Boat Trip for the fans in the first place. Pictures: I also thought I would post the poem I wrote as my reason for being on the boat :D (Hope thats ok) I've written this little "Reason in Rhyme" why I would wish to come. If this doesn't tug the heartstrings, it won't be for the want of trying! "The Trip - An Ode to the Joys of A Cruise" - Lisa (aka Piggy) Although it may be a 'Rainy Day' and most likely we'll all 'Shiver', Imagine watching 'Daylight' fade, as we urge the "Sleeping Sun ' to hush. Just sailing on the 'Crests of Waves' together, Do you need 'Proof' that this would be 'Such a Rush'? It should be only 'Green Eyes' I'd see, not green faces, A 'Glass of Water' for my sea-legs, feeling queasy! Should have paid attention to the 'Warning Sign', Long for the comfort of land's 'Gravity'! But 'Don't Panic' dear friends the Captain won't get us 'Lost', We travel at 'High Speed', hopefully not 'Swallowed by the Sea'! We 'Talk' of great times, exclaim 'Viva la Vida', My 'World Turned Upside Down', now in ecstasy! Soon the 'Clocks' would signal the end of the trip, Now we face 'The Hardest Part' together. Sad faces as we head back to 'Square One' But knowing we're 'Bigger and Stronger' than ever! 'What if' I had the chance to shout 'Yes' I will come! Be allowed to travel with the 'One I Love', There'd be 'No More Keeping My Feet on the Ground', 'The Escapist' in me desires to join in the 'Reign of Love'. So 'A Message' 'For You' my 'Brothers and Sisters', 'I'm Easy to Please', so consider my boon It won't just be 'God Put a Smile Upon Your Face', I would too, So hopefully I'll 'See You Soon'!

After the boat I went down to the South bank at 10:30 and waited 3 hours in the freezing cold. My patience was rewarded at 1:30 when Chris and Phill came over bearing gifts of signed photos of the entire band, as well as a personalised note from Chris and a photo op. Will post more pics etc later...now i'm off to work.....going to be a long day.

Thanks for the information Ian! So excited, I have never done anything like this before so i'm a little nervous but also excited about meeting everyone :D

Oh wow I don't believe it!!!! I won..I actually won!!!! I will definitley be attending, thank you so much. Looking forward to next week!!!! Congrats everyone!!!

Just sent my PM Good luck everyone!!!!

Thanks so much :D Pris Glad you liked them :) Great picture post...love the glass of water one....

Yeah we had the funny hats while they played Jingle Bells lol. I didn't really see it that well as we were at the front near the stage, and they did that at the back :D I kept trying to get people up and dancing...but they didn't. I really hope it will be different in September, I just don't understand how people can just sit there and watch...without even moving.

Thanks so much :D So happy you liked them :)

Lol thanks...it's so long ago I created it .... I wished I pick something better lol. ( I blame the fact that we had a pet guinea pig at the time lol) I'm surprised it has taken me this long to post here...its such a great forum :D One of my fav Chris pics :D
