It's really loud where I am.. My ears hurt and the ground is shaking.

I see Miller on the side of stage.

Offspring are still going to play.

I have the whole video of Yellow. I haven't had time to upload to YouTube yet but will try tomorrow.

Update it to 6 times in 8 days. And you can't stop staring at the photo of you and Chris and try to remember every detail of your meeting and how piercingly his eyes drill into yours like lasers and like how you are the only person he is focusing on at that very moment in time. Oh and remembering how awesomely it felt when he put his arm around you for the photo. And I better stop now.

Half the crowd isn't even in their seats yet - they're out on the concourse drinking heavily. It IS Cinco de Mayo after all.

I wasn't dressed as a bean

It was stunning. I had chills. And the crowd singalong was so moving and awesome. When we talked with Chris before the show, he said they were working on something for Adam. And they sure came through with that!

They have a variety of shirts and pants to choose from. They are all MX theme but definitely more than one outfit.

On my phone so this will be short. Oh my goodness. What a DAY! Many thanks to Erick. I'd signed up to volunteer but they were full. Thurs night Erick texted me saying he thought there were drop outs and did I want him to ask. I said ok. He let me know at about noon on Friday, and I needed to be there in 3 hours! Great experience with oxfam. We collected signatures for the Grow campaign. Very fun and the fans were very nice to us. Anyway after we were trained, we had some free time so some of us walked into the empty Bowl, wearing our tshirts and some were in costume. Chris was walking around the Bowl, saw us and came over to thank us! Amazing!!! I spoke to him for a couple of minutes, a real conversation, about Idol, and he remembered me! Asked of they were going to play Speed of Sound, he said he wasn't sure, it was shaky the other night. I said it was beautiful and he thanked me :) said theyd be doing something for Adam. He shook my hand and took the pictures and stayed until everyone who wanted a pic got one. He said a few times he had to go but didn't leave until everyone was done. SO nice and gracious and funny and thankful. It couldn't have been more awesome. There are other reviews of the concert. So I won't review but I did video UATW and has to watch again to see that I really saw what I thought I saw. OMG. One more show for me today. I can't believe I've seen them 6 times this week!!! Unbelievable.

Aww. Thanks. SJ was pretty amazing. Tuesday was good, but Wednesday's show was outstanding. I'm fortunate I'm at a point in my life where I can do this, and I've decided to live life to the fullest, as much as possible, and to do the things that make me happy. I've been SO SO SO lucky to have been able to go to as many shows and promo performances. I'm very grateful every day for the experiences that I've had. And I have an incredible husband who is supportive. Plus, the band only come around every 2-3 years, so I like to take advantage of it when I can. I won't be at the show tonight - but that's ok. I've had a pretty incredible week, and am just thankful for it all. :)

You're in J1??? Woo Hoo! I'm not going to night, but C-stage is in J-1! Lucky lucky you :) Enjoy.

That was the 2nd time they did ETIAW In just a few minutes. So he'd already done a full performance of it and then had to do it immediately again. He was sweating a lot after the first time - those stage lights for tv are hot! The studio was cold because of the temps of the lighting.

If you are leaving Fullerton at 5, you will NOT be there early. We left Irvine (15 minutes south of Fullerton) at 4 on Wednesday and made it to LA ok, but it took almost an hour and a half to go the last 10 miles. What took us an hour on Tuesday (leaving Irvine at 3), took almost 2 1/2 hours on Wednesday, leaving at 4. Leaving at 5, you will be in traffic pretty much the while way up.

Here is our favorite drummer.

And more photos. The end.

I got some great photos. A sample of what's below. Here are a few more...

When you see them 5 times in 8 days. :smug:

Here's a quick shot if my tv screen taken with my phone. Not the greatest quality but you can see me in the green, my daughter on my right in purple, my son in blue and his friend in the pink shirt. Chris and I made eye contact when he did one of his bendy down dance moves.

You can't really meet their crew at the show because they are busy working. A tip for upgrades, do NOT approach the crew when you see them and ask for an upgrade. That is a definite no. Just be enthusiastic, wear Coldplay shirts, be happy to just be at the show.

So did anyone see me? LOL I was wearing a bright green tshirt, front row, but not in the Pit, right at the end of the stage where Chris did his little dance during ETIAW.

Hahahaha. Really? The show won't be on here in CA for 2 more hours. The confetti thing is funny - they were sweeping it all up as we were leaving.

OH, and I forgot. The video I submitted is on Hypnofeed today :) My son is in the PSA - he is the opening "thumbnail" and appears later in the video, too. He is friends with the founder.

J-1

I consider them a gift. :P
