Well NOW you think of that:dozey: My story is up in the live section!!

FUCK! :bomb:

My story Alright, here is my long story about my NYC experience. It all started at 3pm on Wednesday when to my total shock I received an email from Ian saying I had been picked as a VIP pass winner. I had already looked at some flights but thought there was no way I could go. I have a 2 and a half year old that can't quite fend for herself yet! So, in despair, I PMed Ian saying to give them to another deserving fan so that someone else could go. Wednesday night when my hubby got home I told him what had happened and he says - oh you should go! I'll stay home and watch the kid! I was like WTF? I already gave up my passes!! So Wednesday night and Thursday morning I agonized about what to do and finally started sending out PM's to people on the winner's list. I sent one to Noelia (CookyMnstr) and she had already PMed someone else offering her +1 pass. But then - the Coldplay gods smiled down and I received another PM from her saying that the person she was going to take was in fact a VIP pass winner themselves and did I want to be her +1!!!!! I couldn't fucking believe it! I ran around like a chicken with my head cut off for a few minutes before realizing I didn't have a plane ticket yet! DOH! My flight reservation email came through at 5:04 pm on Thursday!!! I packed a backpack kissed my kid and hubby goodbye and jetted off to the airport. At midnight my car service dropped me off on 48th Avenue and Rockefeller Plaza. People were already in the general admission line and the Today Show crew were busy building the stage. I talked to a security guard for a few minutes to try and get more information and then called Angie to tell her I was there. As I was standing and waiting, Coldplay's giant semi pulls up to the curb. Angie came down and by then Lori had shown up too. So we hung out for a while before going up to Angie's room to chill a bit. At about 3:30am we headed down to see what was happening with the stage and to try and get a bite to eat. When we got down close we could see that Coldplay's roadies were there already and that the area was getting busier. We decided to go ahead and form the VIP line while no one was there. So we sat there until 6am when the Today Show interns came out and gave us our VIP passes. We were lead into the pen area and were all SHOCKED AS HELL when we got lead into the very front pen and that we were standing mere feet from the stage. I went digging in my backpack for something and of course this is the moment Will comes up on stage! He talked a minute to some roadies and then went straight for his drum kit. He was smiling as we called out his name! Guy and Jonny came in next - both pretty much going for their instruments with the help of their techs. Chris was last to show up - and he stopped briefly to talk with Miller before coming up on stage. Chris was in a great mood and besides saying hello he was apologizing in advance for how bad the soundcheck was going to sound! We thought it was great and they were all really into it. They set up for acoustic Yellow and ran it through once. Chris told the sound guys he thought it sounded terrible which is probably why they didn't do it during the show. As Angie said we counted to three and screamed for Jonny and he got this really funny WTF look on his face and started looking around and then finally saw us all smiling and waving and then a big smile broke out on his face. DIVINE! About 7am soundcheck was done and then we waited and waited and waited. The songs during the show were awesome and Chris had so much energy and the louder we screamed the more he jumped around. The people who ended up in the very front were not real fans which was disappointing but oh well. We were still closer than most people will ever get. Additional thoughts: The boys are definitely more handsome in person and even though we didn't get a chance to speak to them you could tell from just how they were acting that they were all down to earth guys. We didn't see any diva type behavior. You could also tell - that like us - they had no idea what was going on. They pretty much did what the Today Show people told them to do - otherwise they were just standing there waiting for instruction. It was the most incredible experience. I will never forget my 28 hour trip to New York. And the best part of it was meeting all the great Coldplayers and getting to experience this awesome band with other people who truly love them. :kiss::kiss::kiss: They were asked to do the song again and Chris said - WHAT? We have to do more? What??? Ha ha...what a kidder:laugh3: Guy...need I say more? Chris talks to Miller One of my fav Jonny pics - the lights were all weird so I made it black and white The stage at 4am
