Sorry Joe that I disappeared. My mother called, and you know how long those calls can get:rolleyes: Fun that you're going away for the weekend, for free!!!:D And with all that family--I'm assuming you all get along? hehehe Ah you'll get a nice tan...what does the sun look like again?!? Bet. my hrs and all the rain lately, I"m starting to forget. Take a pic!:P I'm ok, like I said work is so tiring each night, not as bad as last week, though...no OT thank goodness. My parents came back from vacation on Tuesday, and I realized that I don't like having them sooo far away for so long.(1month!) Even if I don't see/talk to them every day, it's good to know we're 20min drive away if anything happens. You know how parents are, gotta keep an eye on them!:lol: Saturday night, Christa Sarah and Steph, and I are getting together for dinner. But I gotta find a restaurant first!:\ But I'm sure it'll be fun regardless where we end up.

So, how've you been Joe???

Well Sarah is on vacation, with relatives, so I'm assuming she's busy.... Chavi's got a new job, and she hadn't been around too much lately... Carla...hmm I dunno...remind me to kick her ass when she is around here again!<pout> Pris...Joe, you and her are usually around at the same time, you havent' seen her on?:uhoh: Me...I've been either sleeping all day, or hardly sleeping but out&about with errands and stuff..my schedule is all fucked up. And I think we've all calmed down from Hartford:laugh3:; I don't think we could keep up THAT level of excitement for too long w/out burning out!!! But now we've got Werchter with Hester, Carla, and Chavi to get excited about. We can live vicariously through them!!!:dance: Mark, thanks for posting the vids---how did you know I'd be too lazy to go digging for them:blush:

:rolleyes: we're all dying, everyday....let's not get so morbid! I'm alright, but work IS killing me though:dozey: Hey is it Father's Day on Sunday for you guys too? Or is it at a different time, like Mother's Day? Awww Joe:hug: You've been holding up the fort!:thumbsup:

Seriously.:dozey: :PLore, who are you!?!?! Hola! ¿Come te va? ¿Estudiando, o descansando?

WTF is up with all this bloody rain?!?!? Are we in Seattle or NYC:angry: I realized yesterday, it's JUNE and I'm still wearing LONG-sleeved tees. Global Warming sucks...it's supposed to be uhmmm, warmer:dozey:

Ohh someone is here! HIiiii:D Mark, how was Keane? Christa, :hug:

Is there a boycott of this thread I don't know about!?!:uhoh:

:shocked2:aww sheeit!!!:bomb::dance: And I was just thinking how around this time last year was the Today Show gig, and how that got me so involved in coldplaying:nice:...and well, here I am a few thousand posts later....:blush: Ok, you know how long my reviews are, is there a length limit?!?LOL(also, would sending you massive amounts of jaffa cakes help in any way?;):P)

Hey guys! :uhoh: umm I guess I didn't miss much today, huh?:\ Well just want to share that my parents are back from their vacation(and I actually missed them:stunned:)and brought me back a few prezzies:dance: And what do you think was the best of them all: --a pretty necklace? nah, though it is so purrdy:) --some Mozart-balls??:D Delicious, but no. --magnets for my frigde???:rolleyes: --nope, my favorite random present from my parents trip to Slovenia: JAFFA CAKES!:stunned::laugh3: That's right, my parents went all the way to Slovenia and brought me back some jaffa cakes:lol:, and it's a total coincidence that jaffa cakes are the coldplaying preferred snack:laugh3:. I told my mother to get me some cookies or candies from there, just 'cause I wanted something w/ writing in Slovene (or from other countries they visited) and she just happened to pick this out, no idea why. Must be the Coldplay karma, it's going all weird on me:P. My mother looked at me like I was crazy when I practically freaked out and SQUEEd in front of her:lol:. Anyway, Christa I will make it a point to be around on Friday (until before work), and I hope I'll bump into you guys before then as well. Miss you all!:nice: Julie....hellloooo stranger! Joe....:whip: for you, just 'cause I know you like it;) Sarah...you survived the hike!:thumbsup:(you gonna post some pretty pics when you get back, right???)

Those warnings were not enough!!! You should've put them in capital RED letters:P. And why must I be singled out?!:uhoh::blush: :laugh3::laugh3::laugh3: But you were right...d.a.m.n.:sweatdrop: While you girls will be chanting "Red Shirt, Red Shirt;" I'll be all "BLACK SHIRT BLAAACK SHIRT":wink3: The ones where he sings always kill me. :bomb::dead:

Ok, now it works!:dance: (sorry Lore you can't enter:cry:; I'll take lots of piccies if I win:P:rolleyes:)

HOLY SHIT!!! ColdplayERS on coldplay.com Roadie #42 - Blog #86 June 16, 2009 9:45 am #42 and the birthdays bonanza Rather hilariously, we recently hit a million Twitter followers - shortly after I posted a photo of a toilet door. I shall leave it as an exercise for the reader to decide what that says about the Twitter-verse... In all seriousness though folks, thanks for joining us - and obviously, I'm aware that it's Mr. Berryman's presence that has catapaulted us over the seven figure mark. It's fun to be part of things that are changing so fast. Not knowing how it'll all develop is all part of the fun.... It's been a little while since I've posted and as always happens when I leave it a week or so, the intervening days have all blurred into the rear view mirror somewhat. What I do remember, is that we seem to have been averaging a birthday every other day on this tour leg. Geoffrey who handles band security, kicked things off just before we arrived in Austin. We then moved on to celebrating the birth of Ms. Vicki Taylor, one of the band's lovely personal assistants. Now, it's no surprise that everyone on the tour would wish Vicki a happy birthday, but this took us completely aback: I mean, the fact that these people know her name is pretty amazing - but the fact that they know it's her birthday and have come out celebrating tonight? Just bonkers! (In the most lovely way, of course...) Soundman Dan Green celebrated two days after Vicki. His birthday also coincided almost perfectly with his ten year anniversary working for the band. He's been with the band since almost their very first show and has seen more Coldplay gigs than any other person on the planet. For his thirtieth the other night, he got his very own spotlight and a rather lovely cheer. In order to mark the birthday season, Franksy organised a party on one of the days off recently. It was a top day out by a lake, with swimming, jet-skis and a constant supply of barbeque goodness. We were joined not only by Jim from Sleepercar, who opened up for the band a few months back, but also by current opening act Snow Patrol. Great chance to get to know folks - they drive a mean jet-ski those fellas - at least while it's still got fuel in it they do... Someone's iPod was hooked in to the stereo and it shuffled into one of the tracks that the band play through the PA just before going onstage. For a moment everyone froze, before falling about laughing. Guy did the decent thing and ejected it, assuming his rightful place as groove controller. He slipped his iPod into the deck and delivered top tunes for the remainder of the day. Talking of Snow Patrol, I have to say that not only are they absolutely top fellas to a man (band and crew), but they're going down an absolute storm. They're getting the crowd on their feet each and every night and getting sing-a-longs worthy of headliners. Rightly so an' all! They comfortably fill places this size in their own right and have tunes to match. In a rather heart-warming tale, the video department have started shooting Snow Patrol for the big screens that relay the show to the folks up the very back. Now in normal cases, this is subject to a fee payable to each of the cameramen and so on, as they'd normally be relaxing on the bus at this point in the day. Video Director Andy Bramley, though, has decided that being as the whole video department are watching Snow Patrol's show each night anyway, they might as well get in there and get on with it. The fee has reportedly been shrunk to a hundred bucks and a bottle of vodka. The hundred bucks is to go to the charity of the band's choosing. The vodka, you will be unsurprised to learn, does not... Quite what it is about being an early summer baby that makes folks pre-disposed to life of tour-buses and hotels I have no idea, but the June birthdays continue apace. Omaha marks the turn of Marguerite, our lovely Production Assistant who sits at a desk akin to a small florists today. She points out that her birthday last year fell on the same day as the Wembley Arena "Friends and Family" show. This was, in many ways, the starting line for the tour. They weren't paying punters and it wasn't a "real gig", but it was the first time the intro rolled and everyone was hoping to whatever god they did or didn't believe in that it would all go ok. So that makes the Viva Tour officially one year old. We're all walking upright now and can pretty much feed and dress ourselves. I still wake up screaming in the night from time to time, but overall, it's turning into a fine young tour... R#42 :laugh3::laugh3::laugh3: Lori & "TheAngie" are officially famous:dance: (can I have your autographs???;))

Agh I'd hate that! How are you supposed to write it yourself?!?! I hope she helps you out...(maybe copy from another recommendation letter you've gotten, just reword a bit?:idea2:) Ok, good luck with the rest of things you gotta do for the application. Sending good thoughts your way:nice: I gotta run now to work :sad:. Talk to you soon!:hug:

Prissy:nice: I'm ok...It was tough last week at work, and then Fri&Sat are a blur. But all I did yesterday and today is sleep. I think I might have over-done it. 'Cause all I wanna do is just keep sleeping!!!(and tomorrow is another busy day, even though I'm off tomorrow night--I gotta pick up my parents from the airport) The actual baptism was ridiculous. There were like 10 babies--plus at least 4 ppl/baby, so it was too much going on. And since at the seminar they didn't really tell us what was going to happen:dozey:, it was very disorganized. The baby cried through the whole thing, 'cause it was during his usual nap time(awww). Then fell asleep right after, when we were taking pics:lol:. The party though was nice. Just a mellow dinner. Baby behaved himself, got passed around from relative to friend to Mom back to relative, etc. I told my friend, I'm not leaving this party until I hold that baby!!!:angry:(Godmothers get jealous, ok?!) So at the end of the party she handed him to me, and by this time it was way past his bedtime so he was getting cranky. But then I just worked my magic:smug:, and he feel asleep in my arms. :baby:Sigh, it was heaven....:angel: So, how was your wknd, did you fill out those forms?!?!

I'm here!!! Hola Pris:kiss: Aw night night Hester.:hug: (and thanks, I was wondering where that girl was!)

I haven't even signed on over there today... So quiet here today, I can hear the echos of the keys as I'm typing....:lol:

I know! I think now that it's not winter anymore where we were all stuck inside due to the cold, everyone's busier and with time diff it's hard for all of us to get together:\ (also ahemsomepplahem have a Twitter addiction):angry::P Don't get lost out there with vampires&wolves!!! They'll know you didn't like Twilight!:whip::lol: Aw Lore, good luck with studying!!! And I looove the new siggy--where is that quote from, so cute:nice:. And I'm also tempted to get the tourbook, just 'cause of the postcards(even though I'd never send them hehe). Where did you goooo???:bigcry:

:D:D:D Thanks for posting it here Marie, or I would've never seen it! The hat! Squee!:blush: <fangirl>

Oh nice. Start of the week relaxing!:thumbsup: So whats been going on around here? I feel so out of the loop...

Well rested:). I had a busy Fri&Sat. so yesterday and today has been all about sleep sleep SLEEEEP!!! How are you? Off from work or still doing 7days in a row?

Hellloooo...is this where the party's at?!?:D

So that you berrygirls will be happy... 2Xs the RED SHIRT hotness!!!:bomb::bomb::dead::dead: And now I gotta go take a cold shower and "sober up" so I can go to church :blush:LOL Have a nice day girls....
