The HOW of your being today.

Whenever I go to drunco...errr....bunco...........the first thing the girls ask is..."Where did you go for Coldplay this month?" :stunned: It's a little weird but you can relate right? There seems to be a truckload of us....It'll be really fun if all the Coldplayers can manage to congregate before the show. And the pit is going to be so much fun with all of us there...:dance::dance: I wonder if we second place in "Coldplayers Attending" behind the Wembley gig ?? Here's my cell for anyone who wants to text/call before the show so we can co-ordinate a little about at which gate/entrance we want to meet etc. Kelly's Cell : 630-880-9539

Festive salute Anna! I am missing THE memory of arriving to England for the end of the ColdGame with players at the celebrated stadium ..... ....instead I'm taking recreation travel to ColdGame in Tampa Village OF Florida to make wave of goodbye to Martin. What is your essence? (sorry, I couldn't help it):lol:

Also the song namesaked of the ( robust?!!! ) man who widened the oceans? ....It's sayings are very sorry they fashion pools of MOISTURE drops on my mask and smiling too. I am too most prefering of Symbol of Danger. But I don't think "Why not anyone else to prefer this?".. because not one here requires Martin to operate it at the gig recital ????.... :cowboy:.....:egypt:......:santa2: all the times, yes?

Hey Tracy, I just posted to you in the Tampa thread but I wanted to add that my teen was very ambivalent and aloof about our family trip to the Alpine Valley show (I know he secretly had a good time.) My 8 year old, on the other hand was full on "woohoo...this rocks!!!!" for the whole show, even when he was drenched by the thunderstorm! Aren't teenagers a trip? Anyway, can't wait to spot you in your T-Shirt in Tampa! ~Kelly

Wow! It is real, sorry for being Debbie Doubter! Maybe you can email them and request pit tickets since those aren't sold out yet?

It's definitely not quite right...."Miami" ?????

@Technicolor....Yay, I'll WILL be joining yall in the pit with my silly, Coldplay-loving 67 year old mother -in- law! And my hubbie snagged us the hotel from Hotwire.....The Crowne Plaza near the airport for like under 60$ a night.It's about a 20+/- drive to the venue I think. Not sure if that's the greatest area of Tampa or not, but it's really close to a beach of some sorts (for me):sunny: and according to the hotel's website, a big shopping area...(gotta send the mom-inlaw somewhere on the off hours you know?) P.S. All of us Coldplayers gota make a big space on the front line of the pit to save for Mel, who'll be working Oxfam.

I'm Tampa bound ! Yay!!!

YAYAYAYAYAYAYAYAY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

OK, I stayed up and watched incredibly boring, smug David Letterman, who hasn't been funny since I was in college -a effing dog's age ago- and he ran out of time for Elbow! JackAss.

Are you waiting till the last second to bid ? Would you split your ticket if someone on the boards went in on 1/2 the auction with you...

Ready & waiting....

Once again G- your pics are dazzling. :thumbsup::thumbsup::thumbsup: This is the one where Chris is sussing out it was Jonny's flub on guitar.

:laugh3::laugh3::laugh3:

Okay Elbow's short setlist reads as follows.... Station Bones Mirror Ball Grounds Towercrane One Day Like This and in teeeeny tiiiiny print below..... "This is only a genuine setlist if this is written on it Kitty, Daisy + Lewis ! (.....handwritten with a marker)

I pretty much knew there was no chance of getting the guys to sign it (but I did dream a little and had a white paint pen at the ready:)) Mostly just hoping that they saw it as they flew by and got a chuckle out of it, (especially Guy because he like cars and I take it retro old stuff too from the whole jukebox thing.) All in all it was such a great time this weekend.

Angie, are those vids taken with your still camera as well?

Wow, my much loved Viva-pimped Studeybaby made it into the R42 blog. "Dan the trainer" told me it was gonna show up on there but you never know- Too bad I missed Miller but I really wanted to catch Elbow from the front row! Here it is.......http://coldplay.com/newsdetail.php?id=453

As well you should, and they should have know they were in the proxomity of professionals.

DangerDanger...it's long and wordy!!! Okay peeps....just back from very midwesterny, milky, cheesy,(in a food way),waterparky, Coldplay weekend. This isn't so much a review as a little personal tour diary for myself so plan accordingly. (I'm pretty sure this was my final show of the tour sniff,sniff, so it's indulgent and probably boring but I don't care.) And firstly I have a big thank you to Lori & Mike, for making sure we got right up front....and Angie & Gianna for getting me the Elbow setlist!!! (I'll post that seperately in a sec) I kept saying to Lori...what the hell, they are so far away from us, can't they come down to our end of the rail! I missed you 2 alot dammit! Anyway, show wise, firstly I have to yell.... "ELBOW are MAGNIFICENT!!! Okay, had to get that out of my system...on to our boys.. I thought the crowd was amazing- it was SO loud in there. Even songs like 42 and Cemeteries , which usually don't generate as much excitement from the audience, had a big sing-along. 2 songs into it, at the end of Violet Hill, Mike and I looked at each other and almost simultaneously pulled a 'holy shit' look.... I think we both thought that song was just exploded from the stage. Chris sounding amazing and Jonny giving it something extra in a..... I don't know guitars well enough to explain it technically..... but WOW. The funny flip side of that song was the last pre-encore song, DAAHF. Right before the chorus, where Jonny chimes in on the guitar part at about 2:20, he completely came in too soon and it was REALLY loud and obvious. It took about 4 or 5 notes in before he snapped. Nobody even flinched but as soon as the song was over and they were crossing each others paths to clap for the audience they were all atwitter. I was reading lips all over the stage and it was really funny....basically Chris crossed with Jonny and was motioning like 'Oh man, sorry.' Then he has a tugs on Guy who laughs and waves towards Jonny. Then Chris grabs Will and Will whispers in his ear and points at Jonny -at which point I can see Chris laugh and say really clearly "I thought it was me". Lots of back slapping and Chris & Jonny giggling at each other during the bow. I guess after 138 shows that kind of thing really tickles you, but it was cute to watch. I commited a Coldplay show sin by leaving the front of the pit before the encore was over- my kids, whom were left out on the lawn, ( hey, they don't give out mother -of-the-year AND Coldplay's biggest fangirl awards to the same person now do they)....anyway, as I was saying , they were out there getting totally drenched so I had some pity on the little buzz killers and retrieved them from the downpour. To be honest, my 14 yr old was a little miserable but my 8 year old was like" no mom! I'm not cold, this show rocks!!!" All in all, a fine day for The Spillers Coldplay loving family. And Oh yeah, I might have a little suprise coming on the site in a few days...we'll see. Finally Angie. for the love of god, that is an unbelievable slew of incredible pics. I love the Elbow ones SO much and I still don't understand how the ones of Chris with the clipboard look like you were standing ON the piano. They are so crisp and clear, that is one bad-ass camera. I'm gonna miss meeting up with my coldplaying friends so much. I wish I was joining Lori & Angie & Michie & Mel in London ... and Anna & Carol too.... and our fearless leaders Jen & Ian...and all these other coldplay crazy people like Josh on here. Sniff sniff again. Okay, unpacking, and washing stinky wet swimsuits, and feeding that gorgeous cat in my avatar is the next order of business....right after I check out all the vids posted here and look on my camera for any decent ones, I do have my priorities you know....

Finally a review! I entered like the mad coldplying crazy fan that I am....even scoped out last minute flights just in case ;) ---Star97.8 website says pics are coming but I haven't checked today to see if they are posted. Congrats to mariewashere! I believe this is a pic of Will singing said solo song ......

I don't even know if they've given the last of the stripped tickets away but I want to make one last try. I can't figure out what the phone number is to the station for contests. Can anyone in LA help?

Bummer J...what section? Kev & I will look for you. Look for us down in the pit and give a good yell if you see us. I'm getting excited for the show but it's our last one so a little bittersweet too.

Some of my favorite CP songs are ones I didn't ike the first 100 times I heard them....Gravity, Politik, Hardest Part to name a few....the only one I still don't like.......Green Eyes.
