Hey guys...Ive been so out of the real world and into Coldplay-concert land that I haven't had time to post my Will pics from Hartford here. OMG did I have an awesome time. I thought I'd bust a lung screaming so loudly during VLV. Will was sooooo great, and not just 'cause I'm such a Willuver, but really comparing it to the next day at Hershey, they all had more energy and Will was just beatin' the shit outta that drum kit. LOVE IT:D Ok, I'm sure you guys don't mind if not all of them are perfect quality, but a couple came out awesome...so I'll just make a pic spam w/ any and all pics I got with Will in them:dance: Now I feel better about being so lazy around here lately w/ posting pics. I kept thinking during the show, I have to get good pics for the Will thread!!!

I haven't gotten to look at your pics yet Sarah! I am doing/looking at so many things at the same time:bomb: I wish I didn't have to go to work tonight, I need more sleep, but now the excitement of that bootleg and looking at everyone pics it's gotten me all crazy HAHA.

ooh Lore you are our HERO!!!:kiss: and I'll wait, as long as you can get it on here w/in 2hrs, since that's when I'll have to leave for work, and I HAVE to have that to listen in my iPod all night!!!:dance::D

DP might as well use it.. OMG....look at this, from Pris's pic...:bomb::dance: PROOF that Guy looked right at us & our signs, yeay! (now I NEED a pic of Will's wink or/and thumbs up, damn it!) Oh I just finished uploading pics from Hershey, will write review tomorrow(I wanna read stuff in that thread 1st and no time) but here's one only we'd care about...

Why are we assuming it's me?!?!?!:D OH yeah, my SQUEES ARE legendary LOL:smug: Last night at the Keane show, we were on the 1st mezzanine, and everyone around us was sitting:rolleyes: Since we were in the first row, we couldn't get up and block everyone, so we just sat on the edge of our seats rockin' out as much as we could. Whenever there was a quite moment, I'd SQUUUUUUUUUUUEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE, and then others would follow:lol:; I sometimes single-handedly started the crowd (around us at least) yelling.

OMG OMG OMG OMG OMG. Ok, I'm naming my first born daughter Loreto:D yes rapidshare is no problem. SQUEEEE. I'm gonna pee myself from the anticipation LOL. I can't wait until Christa comes on here and she's like "how do I do this?!?!":lol: Oh and I just realized, all you girls who lived through the show via my tweets, can now hear it too:dance::dance: So basically, you went to it...bet. our stories, pics, tweets, and now the actual audio. Awww:nice: FINALLY looking at Pris's pics... Wow.:wacky: Oh and I'll continue my story when I finish looking at the pics Hehehe. I'll have to put all the pieces together in one multi quote at the end (it's gonna take me days to describe the whole vacation LOL) EDIT...go get some rest Pris.:kiss:

Awwww I'm glad you guys were, it totally added to the perfection of the day, seriously.:nice:<mushy> Wait, you've got a bootleg of this show?!?!?:o:shocked2: WHHHHHATTTTTTTTTT omg omg omg. I just yelled so loud, and now I'm fucking tearing up fo excitement. Lore, I fucking LOVE YOU. You've got my fave/best concert in my whole life for me to listen to and remember...OOHHHH SHIT. I :heart: you, I :heart: the internet, I:heart:Ian for starting up Coldplaying.com so we could all meet and all the good stuff that;s come from it.:bigcry: Ok I think I need to take a breath here....LOL edit: and yes, you can call me Noe.(my pics are all over this place now, if some killer shows up at my house, I know where he came from LOL) Only my family in Arg calls me that:nice: so it'll be cute hehehe; Christa now only wants to call me Cooky.LOL

I HAVE TO see that!!!!:laugh3:(but um :uhoh: don't post it on here:blush:!)

Aww Prissy:kiss: (btw i HATE fb...i can't fucking see your pics, and now you sarah are gonna put them there toooo???:cry::angry: Anyway, I'm gonna try to continue my story of Pris's & coldplaying girlz adventures....where did I leave off?!?!:uhoh::thinking: Oh yes...Hartford. So show ends, we're all like :o:bigcry::D:rolleyes5::hug::clap::freak::dance::dance::dance::D:rolleyes3::heart::heart::heart::bomb::bomb::bomb::D. We all start sweeping up butterflies into bags (shit, Christa I still have a bag of butterlies that belongs to you!) and somehow a yellow balloon comes over and lands on Sarah LOL. So as we're walking out, she's holding on to dear life to the big yellow balloon (she had to go to the bathroom and had me hold it for a bit, and this ASSHOLE comes and taps it hard so it slip from my hand and he grabbed it. I was ready to fucking knee him in the groin:angry: but he gave it up quick, he probably saw both of our facesLOL). Then...the after-partay!!!!:dance: I put the pics up a few days ago, but I think that link doesn't work, so here are some pics(we were all on such a HIGH, Christa pumped up the volume in the car w/ doors open and we were one of the last to leave parking lot:lol:) So then we make the long ride back, with Coldplay again playing:wacky:. I think the girls all feel asleep for the most part, excpet for Christa--she was driving, duh--and me:vampire:(even though I only had gotten like 2hrs the night before!) When we get to Christa's, Erica went home, and Christa just crashed. Poor her! But Pris, Sarah, Steph and I came on to see what you guys were talking about on Twitter and what was posted in the Hartford thread. We were practically peeing our pants reading what you guys said on Twitter through out the day:laugh3::laugh3::laugh3:, and in the Hartford thread, Kels not letting Chavi go to sleep:lol:, poor baby. I gotta tell you, we were always thinking of you guys here trying to keep up with us..that's why I sent so many tweets, I knew you'd be checking to see what was going on. So it was like we were all sharing the experience in a way:Nice: :hug: EDIT: saraaahhhh 3:42--I"m always gonna think of you now because of that!(she always wanted to take the train home that was at :42; she actually missed one, so she could get on the 11:42 last night! hahahaha)

So, I'm finally home and with time to post vids/pics from this show. I"m gonna try not to repeat what everyone else said already, 'cause it's been so long that everyone else who's posted has got it covered. I will say though, that this was the very best concert experience I've EVER had(this was my 11th Coldplay concert). Being front row---there's nothing like it. But being there with a bunch of coldplayers, screaming jumping dancing just as loudly as me--it was so fanfuckingtastically special:nice:!!! The long drive, the waiting in line, the frantic running toward the pit entrance, the nerves, the hunger, the not being able to drink so that we wouldn't have to go to the bathroom:laugh3:, totally 110% worth it!!!!! Hearing the girls(especially my fellow RythmSecLuver Sarah:kiss:)sing so loudly & screaming right next to me was just so cute!!!:D Of course, if Coldplay hadn't been so ON and so energetic and into it and enjoying themselves as much as we were, it wouldn't have been as great. They were all in top form:dance:. Politik was the best I've ever experienced--being RIGHTTHERE you feel it(Sarah says her arm hurt from throwing it up in the air so much:lol:). I thought I was gonna pass out during/after VLV from jumping up so much and trying to keep up with ooohhhooohoohhooohhhhhh's during and after the song, as loudly as I could.(and of course, having Mr Champion just feet from me:bomb::dance::dead:). GlassofWater and 42 were some of my faves, as was The Scientist--I was crying for the 1st half of it :blush:; just too much emotion that night). When they went to the back for B&C stage, we couldn't see anything really, but we still were dancing and jumping around. I love "I'm a Believer" it's so fun!:dance: And The Hardest Part, played this way just on piano is beeeeaauuuttiiiifuuulllll. I got all pissed off during DWNC, 'cause someone was blocking the camera right in front of Will:angry:. Seriously, camera guy, it's Will moment, you couldn't move over so I could seee?!?!:whip: When they do the VLV techno version(that was the weird tweet no one could get and thought I was on drugs:rolleyes:) our little coldplaying group kicked of the ohhoohhhoohhh's :smug:, and kept it going until basically the song was over. I still can't believe we didn't pass out:laugh3:. (oh and I don't think anyone mentioned it; during C Stage Miller was on the blacked out stage taking pics, you could only see a teeny tiny red dot, but when I took a pic with flash, oops there he was! So we all turned around and stared smiling twd him:lol:). It was just the best...SUCH A PERFECT DAY!!! NOTHING COULD BE BETTER, and NOTHING EVER WAS. Christa, Pris, Sarah, Steph, Erica, Chelsea...just :hug:And Carla, Chavi, Lore, Denise, Hester, Mel, Kels...:kiss: especially you crazy C&C peeps for keeping up with us all day long via Twitter:D. Ok, not too many good pics/vids 'cause I just wanted to enjoy myself, but I did somehow manage a few decent shots... (this where you see my tweet about the MrB needing more "junk in the trunk" is true!:P) It's so damn hard to get a good shot of Chris, he just moves around too much for my camera!:angry: And the best for last:smug:, Willllll:heart: [ame=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TDPtcUWaTxc]YouTube - Strawberry Swing--Coldplay,Hartford 5.23.09[/ame] [ame=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jsIaz5i38lo]YouTube - 42 Coldplay--Hartford 5.23.09[/ame] (sorry for all the screaming & SQUEEing:D)

Prisss:kiss: I'm gonna run and look to copy/paste your pics:dance: Simon, I only got 2 vids on Sat. and they were both short...my Hartford post is almost done..i"m doing like 3/4 things at once:bomb: EDIT: Done!

Radio City has these tiny little platforms on the sides, that's where you see "B stage." And yeah, we weren't screaming like banshees for this one, but singing very loudly; I think the fact that we were on a balcony helped our voices not show up as much (though in some of them you can hear me:blush:) My camera does have excellent sound(it's a Canon), though the vid zoom is not so great, that plus YouTube always reduces the quality. I think the couple short vids I took @Hartford should be better(but then again I was shaking A LOT more and the screaming is just...LOUD...but that's the fun part for me, hearing my coldplaying buddies:nice:)

Keane was soo good, come on Sarah. Fine, it wasn't Coldplay, nothing could be, and I'm not so emotionally attached to their songs as I am with CP, but Tom's voice is just---:shocked2::D--and the guys were so into it, they gave a great show! I love RadioCity, it's like MSG--there's a special-ness to it that makes bands have awesome shows. (writing a little review in Hartford thread, brb):escaping: EDIT: here you go...to keep you entertained for a bit...

Lore: yeah Tim is my fave too <fangirl> I got lots of good vids, and I'm uploading slowly, let you know when they're all up:wink: I feel like I've got soo much to do to catch up on real life...I was on vacation too, you know...I wasn't home 3 of the 5 nights Pris was here, and visited places I'd never gone to before!:D Oh and I'm gonna post a my vids and piccies of Hartford...I still gotta upload from Hershey:rolleyes: and I'll continue our RoadTrip adventures in here, even if its all disjointed(when Carla comes in she can put in all together in a massive mulit-quote:lol:)

Priiiiiiiiiissssssssssssssssssssssssssss:bigcry: :hug::bigcry::kiss: How are ya??? Exhausted?!?! I'm just waking up, finally got some decent sleep, and now drinking the most delicious imported coffee:wink: Hester, I totally forgot about Hester St. We were roaming around Chinatown trying to figure out how to get to Little Italy(they're right next to each other but our sense of direction got all fucked up) and then on the map I see "Hester St." So I'm like ---WE GOTTA GO THERE & TAKE A PIC! And then it turns out it was right around where Little Italy started. So you led us in the right direction :nice: Hi Mark, long time no see!:rolleyes: We went to Keane last night---it was fanfuckingtastic! You were right, the new songs are so great live:dance: Tom's voice is amazing man. We were singing our lungs out. Sarah....I can't beleive I'm NOT gonna see you today!:sad: hehehe My throat is killing me, but I can still talk. I think my body is meant to be a show-ho; I just cannot lose my voice:dance:

Ok let me think of more details....(I'm in a hurry so Im sure more would come to me if I thought about it...it's been quite an eventful weekend!) I remember feeling like--wth I'm dancing jumping screaming smiling crying laughing as much as I want, and not gonna feel embarrassed about it. And I had the BEST time. And I think I can speak for the rest of the girls when I say that's how they also felt. I think in the beginning Guy was not looking in our direction so much 'cause he ws probably like "uhoh, more crazy weird groupie girls," but after a few songs of seeing that we were all so into the music and having a good time, he did smile when looking in our direction(more than I've seen him do, and we all know he can be a statue if when he feels liike it). Since I was by Sarah, I dunno how much the other girls held their sgins, but I know Sarah and I held the Rythm Sec sign up a lot(though not the whole time--it's hard to clap and pump your fist while holdng a sign:wink:). And I'd say somewhere in the mid-last 1/3 of show he did look toward us and give a smirk and slight nod. I remember Sarah and I just looked at each other: :o+:D:dance:. LOL I cant' remember, I'm sorry, during what song Christa held her PHIL SWEETCHEEKS IS HOT banner, but I totally saw Chris look RIGHT at it and this was his reaction: :inquisitive:+:shocked2:+:lol:. First he was trying to read it, a second later he was like WOAH and a micro-second later he was like HAHAHAHAHA. So again we were like :stunned::D:dance:. During VLV of course Sarah &I held the Rythm sign towrard Will, but he was too busy singing/bangin'/looking hot so I don't think he saw it then. But after LiJ when they do the bows and then had to pass by us to get off stage, I KNOW he had to see it, we were all shoving our sings as high as we could:lol: and we were only feet from stage(and Sarah and I were like WOOO WILLLLL WOOHHOOO!!!!). The as he was about to turn around, he looked at Pris's "Latin America Came Your Way, How 'bout You" signs--which btw Pris said was Chavi's idea, good job girl!:thumbsup:--and he SMILED AND WINKED.:o:dance::dead: I almost passed out. LOL Then after the encore, when he passed by us again, he SMILED AND GAVE :thumbsup:sign :stunned::shocked2::bomb::bomb: to all of us. This time, I like flipped out and we were all like:shocked2::dance::D. (if someone finds a pic of him doing that...YOU MUST GIVE TO ME.:heart:) That alone made it one of the best moements in my life:laugh3:. Ok, and on that happy note, I must get outta here, or Christa is gonna be waiting in NYC by herself.... There's lots more to tell, but I'm sorry it'll have to be until next time...I hope I still have energy tonight when I get back, if not when I get back I'll continue. Just know that throughout all these times, we were all thinking of you receiving my tweets and staying up at ungodly hrs, and you were with us in spirit.:kiss::hug: Ok, I really must :escaping:

Coldplay was FANFUCKINGTASTIC!!!!! They were totally ON, Chris was all happy and talkative, Jonny was rockin' and feeling the music, Will. Just.:bomb::heart::bomb: beating the shit outta the drums:drummer:, and Guy was acting all sexy and smiley the whole night. :wacky: We started yelling like crazy the second the first note of LiT started. We were all dancing and clapping and jumping! I wish there was a way to see what we looked like--our little group of coldplayers going NUTS! Guy got quite a show:D. (and he liked it!) With the good spot I had I knew I could get good pics/vids if I stood still and concentrated on that, but I knew I wanted to have a good time. So I tried to take a few pics per song, I got little vids for a couple of songs, but for the most partI just sung my lungs out and had a great time:D:dance::guitarist:!!!! The best part was singing along with the girls. I could hear them(especially Sarah who was right next to me)so loud, it was awesome!!! (Omg I'm getting all excited and teary eyed just thinking about us all singing together). It was THE BEST concert of the 12 I've been to, because of the combination of being front row, the guys TOTALLY on and happy and enjoying themselves, and being with my lovely friends having the time of our lives. (ok now I am crying!hehe :cry:+:dance:) --Ari, I'm glad, that's the reaction I expected :laugh3:

Oh, I forgot! I had bought these liight up dayglo bracelets. They're meant for kiddie parties, but I thought it'be cool in the dark to see our hands pumping in the air, especially when they put the black light for LiJ. So I passed those around, as we watch Howling Bells and Pete Yorn. They were both good. The crowd was absolutely dead, though, which made me nervous, but then I guess they were just saving their energy for the main act.....

So ok, they let us in, so of course the Berrygirls (which is basically the whole gropu:rolleyes:)go right by where he stands and the mini-ramp. I plant my ass right in front of where Will's bell is gonna be. But then I realize that my girls are over to the right a little, and I had to make a VERY hard decision...stay whre I know I'll have a direct view of Will:heart:, or be right next to Sarah(so we can hold our The Rythm Section is Bangin'--which she and Pris made the night before at like 2am and looked fucking awesome!:thumbsup:)and the rest of the girls. I actually was torn for a couple of minutes(God, my Willuv has grown by leaps&bounds!:blush:)but then I decided that I could still get a good view(which I did)of him standing two people over and right next to girls.:D So in the end, it was starting from about where the bell goes: Erica, Lauren, her sis(whose name I am totally blanking on!), Steph, me, Sarah, Chelsea, Christa, Pris. We were totally on the barrier(I've got bruises on my arms from leaning &banging them so hard to prove it!) right next to each other, and no one bothered us to cut through:dance:. We put the signs leaning on the other side of the barrier, so we didnt' have to hold on the whole time, but I'm sure you could still see from the stage.:wink: There was about maybe 8ft between barrier and stage:bomb: EDIT: Sarah, you will have to fill in blanks of my memory LOL, I keep forgetting what I did for breakfast by lunch time! See you soon....

So anyway. At some point (I can't remember, my brain has been mush all weekend, I think the fact that I haven't gotten more than 4hrs of sleep since Thurs has something to do with it), these drunk girls showed up:rolleyes::dozey:. Around 5:30 venue people show up and tell us to get in lines in these aisles (it was set up like the entrance to an amusement park--with lots of turnstyes side by side behind this metal curtain). The drunk girls start talking to one of the guys that is keeping us standing line in the right way, blah blah blah. You can imagine...we were all like "whatever, just don't get in my way to front row." Sarah was like, "dont' worry, they'll have to pee at some point!":lol: By now we're all super nervous--my stomach hurt so much, I thought I was gonna throw up by the time they finally open the metal curtain. But then, they closed it again!!:angry: They were testing it. We almost cried LOL. When they do finally open it for real, we're all ready, split into 3 and 3, tickets in hand, bags open. When the say to come in, we showed bag/tix and just RAAAAAAAAAAAAANNNN. I didn't even know where everyone went, I think I was running like Phoebe from friends:lol:. When we get inside, there's this table set up right in front of the door to the pit, so everyone rushes to it. The drunk girls try to push their way to the front, but that's when they tell us we gotta get wristbands and to line up in single-file. We do, but then the drunk girls start bitching complaining. CHAOS. Steph was so funny, she got sooo pissed off. She was like "don't mess with me, I'm from NEW JERSEY!":whip: LOL LOL LOL I luv it!!!<high five!> But really I told her to just calm down, forget about it, we're gonna get our prime spot. EDIT: Chavi!!! :hug: how did your tests go??? and dont' worry I got pics&stories...I haven't uploaded my pics yet, but when I do, I'll probably just PM links to you girls, I don't wanna post our faces all over.(bad Christa!:whip:)

Connecticut is 3+hrs away from Christa's...which seemed really long on Saturday, but we didn't know Sunday would be even longer ride!:laugh3: We kept hitting traffic and we were all (especially ME:stunned:) anxious to make it ASAP to get on line. But we kept ourselves entertained with lots of silly Coldplay-related talk--thus the tweet about Guy needing more junk in the trunk, we all agreed!:dozey: Also...LOTS of singing. Christa has all the CDs in her car, so we just had like a warm up practice for the concert. The singing during the car rides was one of my favorite parts of the weekend, I'm so used to singing along by myself in the car, the company of coldplayers is awesome!!! As we're driving we're keepeing in touch with Chelsea, she's worried about parking situation. But when we got there, they let us in no problem...we were one of the first few cars in!:dance: So we pratically run over each other to get on the line. And then.....we WAITED. It was fun though. Some how 4hrs went by, while eating butterfly shaped cookies and Erica made the WARNING SIGN sign, and taking turns using the bathroom. We met up with Chelsea, who's so cute:nice:, and didn't even realize that Lauren(coldlove_23) and her sister were there already--I think they said they were there like an hr before us and they were the 1st to be there. I have a feeling our little group of giddy coldplayer fangirls freaked all the other people in line that started to trickle in a few mintues after we showed up:laugh3:. I'm sure they went home and said "there were these freaky hyper girls on line, with SIGNS:stunned:, and they kept talking about the many many many shows they've all gone to. They were weird!" :P:lol:

Ok, this is gonna take a while, dunno how much I will be able to tell before I gotta go, so it'll be slow...keep the suspense going:evil: So Saturday Steph&I met up in NYC and took train to Christa's, all excited and talking talking the whole way.:D We get to Christa's super cute house and wait a bit for Erica and Sarah&Pris; meanwhile help Christa change her Tweeter avi LOL. When Pris&Sarah arrive I almost jumped across the street to go give her a big hug:nice:. (ohh just thinking about this is gonna make me kinda sad...anyway).

Pris is supposed to text me when she gets into Mexico City airport, which is probably around 7 my time, which is 2.5hrs from now. When she does, I'll tweet, so you guys will be up to date.:smiley:

I'm sure we'll have fun...just nothing can compare to Coldplay. Even Coldplay can't compare to Coldplay LOL. I mean, the Hartford show was just AWESOME, while Hershey (while still great since it was them, duh) was just good. Ok, I got a little time before I gotta get ready...wanna hear a little about the weekend??(I dunno what Christa told you, haven't had any time to catch up or read back anything). You know me, it'll be loong, super long, but I have a feeling you girls might get a kick out of some things. Later tonight, if I can stay up I'll do a teeny tiny review for the shows(its' been so long now, I dunno if anybody would care...)

Ahhhhh, much better now. Except that I haven't figure out what to wear tonight, so I got in my PJs...and now don't feel like doing anything. Poor Keane, such bad timing! hehe I need something to eat and a water. a GLASS OF WATER [/corny]<--this was all of us this whole wknd, everything was a reference to Coldplay:lol:
