Ok, I'm trying to STILL catch up on things around here...so I've read Pris&Sarah's Hartford reviews...have they posted Hershey ones as well???(or pics--'cause yesterday I saw the ones from Hartford...) Ohhh and I should continue my stories...or are u guys over it already?!?!(I should really clean my room:rolleyes:)

Oh wow Hester...watch out, or you'll become a :vampire: like me!:P And Sarah...yes we wanna see pics of your pretty room once you've got it all set up:D Joe, I need to call my family in Argentina, and usually I just go to my parents 'cause they've got a landline and it's cheaper, but I'm too lazy to drive all the way there just for that(my parents are on vacation, and there's no need for me to see my brother:rolleyes:). So I tried using a calling card from my cell, but I've never tried it...maybe I'm doing it wrong...it's busy all the time...:angry: edit: Hi Simon! and thanks:smug: I took it myself:dance::bomb::dead:LOL (actually I'm still not used to it and I keep staring at it:blush:)

Sheeeiiiiitttt to being at the same show as Will (and not a Coldplay one!) and not even knowing it:bomb: But soo happy he seems to like the same music I do:P Sarah, imagine, while we were running up&down elevators trying to rush to bathroom before show we just bumped into him?!?!:dead: I would've peed myself on the spot LOL. Yeaayyy for you!!! And yeay for us, 'cause we'll get some new "LiveWill" pics:dance:

:vanish: I'm baaaaaaaaaaaackkkkk. Went for a little walk to the local pharmacy to get some cough drops...I've kinda lost my voice...I wonder why!??:rolleyes: Agh..I'm trying to call Argentina using a calling card from my cell, and it keeps being busy...WTF! Hester! Isn't it past your bedtime:P

Ok, at the end of Yellow, at 3:52, after Chris says, "ok let's sing this to Will, our drummer," you hear a banshee like long scream all alone.... I will bet the paycheck I just got today, that's ME.:smug: Pris, Sarah...listen to it and see if it sounds familiar to you hehehe. Ok and now I really AM going....:blush:

:curtain:Sheeeit, you are all here and I"m trying to pay bills and do real life -non coldplay things:sad: Nobody go ANYWHERE until I'm back!:whip: btw I'm listening to the Hartford show!!!:bomb::bomb::bomb: It's like being there with all the crowd noise--and I think I can definitely spot my squee once in a while....I swear! OK, off for more real life things...:rolleyes: edit: Priiiiiiissssssssssssssssssss:hug: I miss your pretty face:nice: It's weird to me that we're not gonna get together later to hang out in NYC or go to another show:P edit2: LORE!!!!! My hero:D

Awww:hug: Ok guys, I gotta go for a little bit...gotta run a quick errand...but I shall be back....:vanish:

Pris, that review was just fanFUCKINGtastic!:thumbsup: So detailed and organized and with media to enhance the story!:D My eyes are watery, just thinking back on it!!!!:hug: BTW if anybody is curious as to what my squee sounds like....umm in the DWNC vid, right after Chris introduces Will with that little song and everyone goes wild, there's one single banshee like scream. That's ME!:blush::laugh3: I now have to apologize to anyone who's ever been next to me at all the concerts I've ever attended!:blush: Damn. I didn't now that's what I sound like!!!:shocked2::lol:

Hey guys... Oh God, I watch those vids and I was like "THAT'S what I look like when I talk?!?!":laugh3: My face is so fucking animated...I must look nuts when I get really hyper:rolleyes4:LOL I'm reading Pris's Hartford review right now, eyes all watery!!!! I cant' believe taht day happened...It was fucking amazing.:bigcry:+:D I cant' wait until it's your turn, and you come and tell us all about it:thumbsup:

Yesss!!! Antonia, one day, maybe next tour, we can meet up in London--I'll know my way around by then;). And yeay for :D:lol: at my reviews:P; we were always thinking about you guys here during our long wknd of Coldplay fun:nice: Aww that's so sweet Joe! What a nice friend... did you see our Jamba Juice vid:lol:; just FOR YOU did we got in there...Sarah was like "I know there's a Jamba Juice there,"(right off Central Park by Columbus Circle)and Pris and I are like "we HAVE to go!!" And it was really yummy, so thanks for the tip!:D Ok, off to read Pris's review; and listen to Hartford concert again, to spot our SQUEES:dance: :escaping:

Antonia! HIiiii. I'm here:D

I know, it must've sucked for him to be in pain, meanwhile he's gotta keep playing. But that reaction was a little much! <drama queen> I was like :o watching it, but then again, you should see me when I stub my toe!:P

Aww thanks Hester!:kiss: I was just over at the Hershey thread...was gonna start reading it, but I'm so tired, going back to night hrs at work after days of "regular people"hrs is tough!!! and OMG did ya see that vid of Chris flippin' out as the show started?!

WHAT videos?!!?:uhoh: I wanna seeeee....DAMN FB:whip::angry:

WHAAAAAAAATTT?!?!?! OH.MAH.GAWD.:stunned::BOMB::BOMB::BOMB::o

Okay I'll have to pause the story here for now....gotta run to get ready for work...cant' be late 1st day back.... Also, gotta update my iPod:wink: SQUUUUUUUUUEEEEEEEEEEEE!!! ----Lore is my hero!!!----

Ok, gotta wait for download...SQUEEE!...anyway... (babye Hesterd, see ya Sarah..I guess u guys can read whenever...hehe) We go pee, get beer, and then it just starts POURING!!!!! The kind of rain that would drench you crossing the street, with thunder and lightning. People are like "omg I hope they dont' cancel the show." :rolleyes: Aw amateurs...Coldplay played in a desert with crazy monsoon like rains, a little summer thunderstorm is not gonna kill the show. At least not one I'M going to!!!:whip: So we wait a bit, and Sarah is all antsy, 'cause she wants to pull open the Phil banner (the only one we brough w/ us since it's waterproof--is Christa smart or what?!?!) 'cause she's like, even if we have crappy seats, maybe a roadie will spot the sign and get an upgrade!:idea2: and I'm like, no way, don't get excited or youll be disappointed( life is so freakin' ironic, since I had to eat my words a few mintues later:bomb:) We go look for our seats--turns out they've been switched to the opposite side of the stadium, even closer section than we had originally:dance:. The funny thing is, it was going to be on Jonny's side until the switch, then we're back on Guys' side, even if far far away. (It's meant to be girls. The Berryman luvs our cheering section on his side:P.) As we're are trying to make our way through crowd, someone--maybe Pris?--points out a rodie chick talking to some girls. We're like :stunned::bomb::bomb::D this is OUR SHOT! We approach her once she's done w/ those girls, and this is how it goes: Sarah: Do you remember this???(bust out the Phil sign) RoadieChick: Umm no.:\ Sorry. Sarah/Noelia: Omg we were @Hartford last night, front row standing right in front of Guy with it!!!<squeee> RoadieChick: oh no I didn't see that. WHO'S PHIL? Sarah, Noelia, Pris::stunned::shocked2::o Noelia: Who's Phil?!?!:inquisitive: Ummm he's the "secret 5th member" he's one of their oldest friends, he was their manager from beginning up to AROBTTH!!!!! RoadieChick: oh ok.:rolleyes: Then, there's like this moment of awkward silence...and I HAD to say something:bomb: Noelia: So, um, any chance you've got a few extra tix in there for us?!?!:angel: RoadieChick::thinking::inquisitive::blank: No. N/S/P::stunned::cry: RoadieChick: I was hoping you wouldn't ask me, we're not allowed to give them out if you ask, it's a rule. (don't know if that's the truth, or if 'cause I mentioned we were front row the night before:shame:, so she wants to give to ppl who've never seen them up close?:\) Look maybe I'll find you later on, ok? N/S/P: Okay okay.:cry::( --99%downloaded:bomb:

Okay, so we start following weird directions that led to some scary winding country road that this city girl was NOT liking. I mean. seriously...no sidewalks?!?!heheeh So we turn around and start following all these cars, which finally lead us into Hershey Park. As we are getting closer to parking lot, we can just see a helicopter land...we could only see the blades turning. Sarah, is like, wouldn't it be cool if it's the guys coming into the show, just like in LITii?!?! Hmm...in.ter.est.ing. So we park, rush to the box office and easily buy our tix. I have NEVER been able to just walkin and get tix same day, and so cheap on top of that!:bomb: So we got tix, we need a bathroom and I need a beer STAT. Right when we go in drops start falling, so girls buy raincoats(I already had mine, Christa got me one for Xmas to take for Wembley:nice:) and an OxFam volunteer comes up to us. Poor girl I didnt' even let her make her speech, I was like I know alll about it, where do I sign?!!? (its a petition so Obama will change some laws about global warming, since US is the ONLY of the big major countries NOT involved in the Kyoto agreement:angry: Anyway..) Oh shit, wait. PAUSE. gotta check my PM;)

Yeay for spontaneity and craziness!! I'm suuuch a responsible planner in real life, but Coldplay brings out this whole other side to me:lol: So, turns our Sarah is not used to driving through NYC(which can be crazy) and I have done it a few times so I don't mind it; so I end up doing the driving. We grab some food&water from Christa's place(thank you!:kiss:)since today we dont' ahve to worry about leaving our spots and not being able to pee, thank God. We load up our sings in the back, just in case, and turn on the iPod. Another day, another coldplayers' roadtrip, another 3+hrs of singing to warm up our voices for that night's show:lol:. So, I"m driving right....and Sarah is right next to me. And I can see she keeps her eyes on the speedometer the WHOLE time.:laugh3: She keeps telling me how she always just puts the cruise control on a couple miles over the speed limit. But, I should've told you (you should;'ve known, by the way I walk LOL) that I at the very least go 10miles OVER the speed limit always. And knowing that we are like 3.5hrs away from a coldplay show going on open highway with no traffic:bomb:...is only going to encourage me to speed more!!! But dont' worry, I'm not a crazy driver (right???)I got us all there in one piece.... So were' like more than 3/4 there, and we keep seeing funny signs, like that C&C pizza, and any 42 we see we point out....when all of a sudden we pass by this unmarked car at the side...and I think to msyelf, "hmm weird, let me pull into the right lane" 'cause all this time I'd been on the fast lane by myself practically. So I merge, then go around a car, and all of a sudden that parked car is following me and turns on the cop lights. BUSTED----I got a freakin' speeding ticket:bomb: I was almost about to pee my pants, 'cause I knew I was going fast (about 12ish miles over limit) but so was everyone else...:rolleyes: but it turned out ok, the guy was nice and only gave me a ticket as if I was going over only 5miles. So it's expensive, but I won't get points on license. THANK GOODNESS--I think the Coldplay Karma protected me. So then a few mles down we get off that highway, with Sarah navigating directions. AT this point I'm so nervous and freaked out from the speeding ticket, I think I was going UNDER speeding limits:laugh3:. And my brain is like :stunned:, so Im just following whatever she tells me to do. Including almost turning into the WRONG WAY on a highway:bomb::shocked2::angry::laugh3::laugh3::laugh3::laugh3:. Thank God it's Pennsylvania and the Amish were taking a siesta or something....:P

Ok, so it's Sunday morning, and we got like, what? 5,6hrs of sleep. We (Sarah, Pris, Steph, and I)slept in this spare room that Christa has with extra beds:nice:. We smell some bacon cooking, so we make our way downstairs to the best brunch ever!!!:thumbsup: for Christa aka Martha Stewart! (it was so nice to sit together and tell her hubby alll about the Hartford show and eat the yummy food--bagels, strawberries, yogurt, bacon, coffee, juice--I totally forgot to take a pic of her pretty table:shame:). So afterward we're trying to figure out what to do with our day. Originally we had said we'd go into NYC and start doing the touristy things with Pris, but I think she and Sarah were kinda worn out from SAt. and felt like just chillin' out. I was in Coldplay BLISS--all I could see in my head was Will smiling and giving us that thumbs up at the end:wacky:) so I was like OMG I have to see them again. SOOON. I wanna see my Coldplay!!!!!<baby whine>:P And someone was like, arent' they in Hershey tonight? So I dunno what possessed me to jokingly say...we should go see them...it's only 1:30pm, if we start driving soon we'll totally make it for the opening act!:idea2: And Sarah's like...OH NO, don't even get that idea in my head:rolleyes::lol:. But I was like, oh just for fun...lets's say we leave now and get cheap seats.... OK OK, back to reality, no you're right we shouldnt'. But by then everyone has that shiny glint in their eyes...you know the one...when a coldplayer knows there's a concert going on...:bomb: LOL So I say let's just see if they're are any cheap seats left. We look, we even call the venue...there havea 4 pack for $30/eac:shocked2::D. How perfect is that---4 of us, cheap price, stilll available, no other real plans for the day....::D:D:D:dance::dance::dance: AND WE'RE OFF!!!!:escaping: EDIT: :rolleyes: to your previous comments. now be nice:whip: to fellow coldplayers...

Okay, so to kill the time while we patiently wait for "Hartford, dejavu":P I'll continue my story telling. So everyone grab a blanky and get comfy.... edit: I cant' stop staring at my own avi:bomb: it's so distracting!!!!(maybe I am getting closer and closer to that "scary"line!!!)

We bonded on the loooooong scary (terrible terrible fog:stunned:) drive back from Hershey.:nice: So I think we've reached that "no need for politeness" thing a few days ago, Sarah. AT least I did.:lol: And YEAY for Lore!!!!!:dance:

Yeah I know I was saying how that's just weird. Taking it a little too far.:inquisitive: I am:smug:, I dunno about you, freak!:P :laugh3::laugh3::laugh3:

Yes, seriously, after going to Hartford, I can see how one can easily become a crazystalkergirl.:lol: Seeing him soclose:stunned:. Thank God I'm not psychotic, and also that when I got into this band all those years ago, their looks was the last thing on my mind(only when I started coming around here did I catch the "fangirl" virus:laugh3:). I think being a fan of the music FIRST&foremost, helps us keep it semi-normal. Right, Sarah?:wink:(we had many disucssions on this topic during the long weekend). Sarah, I wanna change my siggy to that little vid of us holding the Phil sign and singing LOL. But I gotta wait until 1)Pris uploads it, 2)I beg Carla to make a gif out of it. Ohh I think I didn't tell everyone...hmm I need to somehow get back to writing, I keep gettting soo distracted(coughWillthreadcough). and Lore, we'll wait, don't worry!(the Hershey show...I dunno if I really need that one. It didn't compare to Hartford, thought it was still good of course...)

AWw Lore!!! you're too kind!!! OMG I can't wait until everyone else from our little group gets in here!!! We're going to have to have a synchronized listening party one of these days:P BTW, ahem, you guys like me new avi:wink3: that's it, I'm a total fangirl now!!! pls splash some water on me if I start saying inappropriate things and I go over the sane/insane line!!!!:P:lol: edit: shit, I should change my mood...no way I"m sad now!!!(I still miss you Pris, and Sarah even though I just saw you yesterday :P; going back to real life sucks!)
