Good. For a minute there I was thinking he might have thought I was a bit too obsessed... :D

Thank you for commenting! And you're welcome! We, again, had gotten tickets from this guy who was a crew member or something and were in the front row on the floor. My personal favorites were the Guy pictures, even though I think after a while he knew I was mostly taking pictures of him...

That sucks. :(

Yeah, we'd gotten free front row center tickets.

Okay, here are my two albums from the Coldplay concert. Enjoy! http://s238.photobucket.com/albums/ff166/kit_kat23_album/Coldplay-Verizon%20Center/ http://s238.photobucket.com/albums/ff166/kit_kat23_album/Coldplay-Verizon%20Center/Coldplay-Verzon%20Center%20Part%20II/

Pff... I wish. But he did smile alot and I think Guy noticed that I was taking mostly pictures of HIM, LOL :P

Oh, what the hey? Here's more. :D That bald head in front of some of my pics was the security guard. Nice man; he told me to go ask the camera guy for the set list. :)

We were pretty darn close. I'm uploading the rest to my photobucket account (taking forever!) but I'll give you the direct link when I'm done/

And here's another five...

Here's a few of the very many...

They are uploading as we speak.:)

Oh, okay. I have the photobucket account.

hey, do you have any clue on the uploading? I've never uploaded anything here before. Sorry... but the pics will be worth it. :D

I'm working on that. ;)

Oh, yes. We were standing and Chris was always in front of us! There was this one moment where he laid on the floor and his shirt came up and you could see his belly button (he's just so adorable!)

All we were doing was sitting in our seats. My mom thought maybe we looked pretty sad because we had nosebleed section seats and wasn't close to the band and maybe he took pity on us. :P

Miller is Roadie 42? That's so cool! :D

No, that wasn't him. He was thin and lanky too, but that wasn't him. Oh well. Thanks very much for uploading the picture! Ah, I'm getting confused with the posts. All we were doing was sitting there, watching the first opening act. My mom thought our faces (very sad faces) might have led the guy to us... :P

Yeah, I think I would.

Actually, he was bald. I don't remember the glasses; I was way too excited to remember what he exactly looked like.

Well, who ever it was is officially my new best friend. :)

Oh, wow. Last night's concert was amazing! So, here's what happened during my first Coldplay concert experience. Let's just say it was great... My mother and I took in the Metro from Vienna/Fairfax and saw a bunch of people on their way to the concert. We arrived at the Chinatown stop right where the venue was and went to go find something to eat (Potbelly's Sandwich Works-Yum!) After dinner, we headed into the Verizon Center, and got in really quick. We went to go buy concert swag (t-shirt and poster) and then found our seats. We were just a few rows down from peanut heaven and were feeling a bit sad that we were so high up. My camera wasn't going to take good pictures... So, the first supporting act comes out and while they were performing, this guy comes up to us. He has a backstage all-access pass and he asks us if the seats were okay. Obviously, they weren't and we told him that. He asked us if we were big fans of Coldplay. We said "Hugely insane fans!". He then asked us what our favorite song was from the album. I said it was "Yes" and he then told me to sing some of the lyrics. While I sang, my mom was trying to remember the lyrics to "42" if he asked her. She was in so much shock, she couldn't remember and even I butchered "Yes" a bit because I was in shock. What was the guy going to do? He then said that Coldplay saves the first five rows in the floor seating for their fans. He asked us to give him our stubs and in return, he gave us FRONT ROW CENTER FLOOR SEATS!! All we had to promise was to stand up the whole time. We go find our new seats and watch Santo Gold perform (she was amazing!) and all these kids come to our row and say they got free tickets too! There was a couple next to my mom who had actually bought floor tickets and the lady seemed genuinely happy that we'd gotten the tickets. She had even liked the makeshift jacket and Jonny hat (with a red V) I'd had on. Coldplay finally opens up with a great "Life in Technicolor" and then goes into "Violet Hill." Jonny's riff was spectacular. There was not a song I didn't enjoy hearing and we were glad that they'd gone to the other side to make the people in the back rows feel happy. I personally enjoyed hearing "Yellow" and "Square One." The laser during "Clocks" was awesome and the Barry Gibb/Johnny Cash reference was hilarious. I took tons of great pictures and Chris looked so handsome. They all did, but since he was always in front of us, we could see him better. He even said the F word and shit a few times, but he was so adorable when he cursed! The butterflies during "Lovers in Japan" were so beautiful and so was the montage. I booed O'Reilly when he mocked Chris and called him a pinhead and cheered loudly when Will sang "Death Will Never Conquer." At the end, I was able to get a set list from the camera man (!) and we headed with the Coldplay fans to the metro. Thank you, Coldplay for the best concert experience of a lifetime. It was even better than Bruce Springsteen. I never would've thought I'd been that lucky to have gotten front row center tickets. I don't think I'll be that lucky again. :) And I'll be sure to post my pictures later. -Strawberry Swing
