Here are the videos I took. I wish it didn't take so long to upload HD videos to youtube, so these are regular resolution, and not HD.

I'm so glad you were able to meet him. I was with my friend Tracey, Martinfan, and she got her shirt signed, too. Her daughter was taking pics, though, and didn't get her ticket signed :( We started out waiting above the doors by their buses and trucks and watched the load out, and saw crew coming and going. We did see Will, Jonny and Guy leave, too, but they didn't hear us, loud bus generators, I wish we were louder! But they just got in their SUV and left. Oh well. And we saw Gwyneth go in and out a few times, too. Then when Chris came out, we went over to the gate.

I thought it was so great of him to come over to the fans at the gate :) We were there, too, and he signed my Oxfam volunteer shirt. (I was the carrot, if anyone saw me in Miami :laugh3:. I shook his hand, too, and reminded him of a conversation we had in Los Angeles last month and he remember it. :) Such a nice guy, even with all those people crowding around. I actually felt kind of bad for him, because I know he doesn't like disappointing people and wants to make sure everyone is happy, and people kept pushing forward. His bodyguard and head of security were just trying to keep him, and the crowd safe. But it a great way to end the evening.

I was at Tampa and Miami, and they were not tired, or if they were, they sure didn't show it! Don't worry and have a great time in Atlanta. Amazingly awesome show.

I spoke with some of the crew. They had a pretty grueling schedule for Florida. It was a 16 hour drive from Houston to Tampa. They didn't even stay in a hotel in Miami - drove straight from Tampa Times Forum to American Airlines Arena in Miami for setting up. Then right after the Miami show, they did their load out and headed for Atlanta. They need a couple of days off! Obviously, the band doesn't travel by bus these days, but the crew is hard at work. Luckily, their buses are nice, but still...they need time off, too! I'm sure after Atlanta, they will go straight to Charlotte because those shows are consecutive. They're not traveling with multiple stages, like they did in Europe this summer.

Oh that was awesome! We were there too but it happened so fast, it took us a minute to figure out what was happening. Great find!!!

We could clearly see it. She was in one of the side sections next to the section C stage was in.

I was not wearing the shirt when he signed it! LOL. Although he did sign some shoulders.

He was SO nice to come over to us. Miss Jackie wouldn't allow posed photos but he was signing everything for almost everyone who was waiting. He signed my Oxfam shirt, shook my hand TWICE, and remembered me from the Hollywood Bowl and American Idol. Gwyneth was with him but waiting in the car while he came to the fans. Incredible man he is. I can't upload my picture of my shirt with my iPhone , but it's on my twitter if someone (Tash) wants to edit and upload.

Cutest thing at tonight's Miami show was after C-stage when Chris ran up the stairs in the next section to kiss Gwyneth before running back to the stage for Clocks. He also dedicated Yellow to his "incredible wife Gwyneth." and we saw her after the show while we were waiting for the boys to come out. WJand G came out first end got into their sub and drove off but Chris came over Toby's and signed autographs under the ever watchful eye of Miss Jackie. He signed my Oxfam volunteer shirt :) No, I wasn't wearing it.

Still driving from Tampa to Miami- 120 miles to go.

A few of my pics from tonight. This was the 20th time I've seen Coldplay. At first I was a little disappointed that our seats seemed so far back because I have been spoiled and in the front so many times, but this show was so amazing that it really didn't matter where I was. I am so NOT an emotional person but I totally teared up during GPAS and then just lost it during Warning Sign and from then on, I was a mess. the tears wouldn't stop, I can't really explain it. It's not like I have t seen them before..so I don't know what it was.. Crowd was great, too, very loud. I met Gatorsam and his beautiful wife and the escapist, but I didn't get your name :) We are volunteering with Oxfam in Miami tomorrow so that will be a long, but good day.

Well be heading to the venue in a few minutes :) So excited!!!

After a full day at Disney World yesterday (we went to 3 parks!), we are getting ready for the drive to Tampa. It will be my 20th time seeing Coldplay. And my 5th show of this leg of the tour. I came from CA, as a "do-over" for the Tampa show that was cancelled at the last minute in 2009. It's Tracey's 3rd show, her husband's 2nd show and her daughter's 1st. Im so excited to be able to share it with them! See you in Tampa!

No, you are allowed only one when you walk in the door. Sorry. If you see people with multiple xylobands, they may have been to more than one show and are wearing them again, or they have been greedy and taken more than one, thus denying another fan their xyloband. Please don't take more than one, because they have run out of bands for a few shows (including one that I went to, so I didn't get a band, which was very disappointing). They are absolutely stunning when all lit up in the arena/stadium.

Don't count on it. The Oxfam volunteers get the tickets the crew take from the people they upgrade. But volunteering is a lot of fun. I did it in LA and I'm doing it again in Miami.

And I see Lauren and Jimmy on the left side in the front corner of the ramp and front stage, and I see Angie on the left side! :)

Wow. Those are spectacular photos. The 22nd photo down looks 3D to me. Just amazing. Thanks Tash!

Well, he started doing them for the stadiums in europe. Doesn't mean he won't do something for the arenas ;)

My clicks aren't always registering either. I am clicking from my iPhone using my 3G, and from home wifi.

SO happy for Lauren (l0wxo2) and JimmyD. Lauren bid on and won the JoinRED auction, and was promised 2nd row seats. She asked JimmyD to go with her, after I said I just couldn't go. When they picked up their tickets today, they found they were in the FRONT ROW on Guy's side! They are both such huge fans, and great people so I'm beyond happy that they are in the very front :)

At 4:33, 22 June, California time, PST, Brendon and Jimmy are at 1336. Come on people...Let's click for them!

When I've called radio stations, the first thing they ask before announcing me as the winner is if I've won in the past 30 days for "regular" prizes. I think some of them base winning frequency on the value of the prize. Like a trip is worth more than concert tickets, and winning those, you need to wait longer before winning again. Locally, there are several Clear Channel stations but they have their own individual rules.

Hey everyone, I've met Jimmy in person, been to some Coldplay shows with him, and he is a huge fan, and a great guy. I agree with what he's saying about it being about the numbers now. I know there are several others on coldplaying who want to win, but really, when you think about it, Jimmy and Brandon are so far ahead of the others, it would be hard for anyone else to come close to them and beat the first place girl. If we want ANY Coldplayer to have a chance at winning, I really think this is the way to do it. I've been clicking away...
