OK got to the venue sometime after 2:30 I think. No one was around. I mean NO ONE. Soon as I drove up I could hear Viva la Vida being sound checked. They ran thru Viva, Violet Hill and LITi several times. Walked around to see if I could see anything. Found that open gate......with security not far away. :angry: I was right next to a tour bus. I thought it was roadie bus but once I saw Howling Bells on stage realized it was their bus. There are several small buildings in the secure area and I was hoping one within my view was the dressing rooms. Lots of roadies going in and out so they must have been "office space" for them. Weather was so nice. Lots of roadies out sunning themselves. I was hoping for some band footie action but nothing. After about an hour it got quiet. I waited and waited, but nothing so I went back to hotel. Then I could hear Will's drums from my hotel room. So I went back and stayed. Never heard ENL, but did hear Chris playing something on organ sounding keyboard that I didn't know. Maybe something new? :) I could see Jackie and she was talking to some people and pointing towards me and this guy walked over to ask what I was doing. :dozey: Can't that woman just leave me alone! :veryangry2:

I am at the airport and they have free internets so I can post some stuff. :D I went thru all my pics and videos last light and I got some awesome stuff. You may all want to lower your volume on first view as I was screaming way more than I realized. OMG the poor people around me. :uhoh2:

I am screaming so much in the videos. Not sure I want to post them. :curtain: Anyway I found 2 more dragon pics.

I edited that triple post. OK just a few more then you will all have to wait for my return to Texas today. Videos, pics and stories when I get home.

Viva by day Viva by night

mini ramp and the steps that will bring Jonny to me.

Can I just say the Berrygirls are gonna owe me big time!

OK he wore it longer than this, but I was laughing and couldn't film it. [ame=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4dp7IbcltZw]YouTube - Coldplay Birmingham 5 18 09 015[/ame]

I didn't hear it. I came back to my hotel and when I heard drums I went back. They must have played it then.

I asked Marta if I could hand him mine and she said he wouldn't take it. "You know how he is when he's in the zone" that's what she said. :lol:

I didn't hear screams as they were offered. That's how I saw Marta, she was upgrading.

I'm uploading the dragon video now. :lol:

This place doesn't have a lawn. And they didn't have a pit. First 3 rows directly in front of stage were given as upgrades.

When the roadies brought it out on the side of the stage I thought "Hey whats that for"....then Chris walks over puts it on and starts dancing. I was cracking up.

Mini ramps are in same place an normal ramps, just short and were actually built out over the chairs. Which is how my row 4 seat beacme row 1 seat. :D * Draws you a pic

I shot video also

OK during In My Place I alway get my camera ready to film. You have to wait for the song to start beacuse if you don't when the lights come up your camera will loose focus. So Chris starts singing and then Jonny makes his way over toward Guy, then instead of going back toward his side and Chris coming to meet him.....he walks right up to me on the mini ramp and they are so fucking close I had to turn my camera sideways to fit them in! OMG I didn't realize I had screamed so loud. :stunned: Then he went over to his side and they finished the song. I think I sent a OMG text to someone but I almost fainted!

I have shot what is the greatest In My Place video EVER!!!!!!!!!!!! OMG I screamed so fucking loud!

I tried to get Chris to take a Jonny guitar pick but he wouldn't. :bigcry:

Set list same. Line to get free CD, long. But I got mine. weeeeeeeeeeee. loading videos and pics from camera to PC now. Will try to post some, but connection is slow here.

First, what I though would be stage B, was actually a mini ramp. But they did exit just in front of me, that when I touched Jonny. Then Kelly stood right next to me giving me the evil eye.

Just back to hotel. What a night. Touched Jonny's arm. :dead: I'm still shaking! Shot a shit load of pics and video. Chris dancing with a chinese dragon head on! ahahaha

The security guard just out of camera shot to go away. :laugh3:

What's that? An open gate! :sneaky:
