Just thought I'd repost the best pic I got of Will from last week since no updates in here today - you guys sure do like the will-shirts, ha ;)

Wha?! :stunned: He WALKED off?! What happened?!!? :confused:

X&Y still remains my favourite album overall. It has the most of my favourite songs on it. I don't think I could live without 'Square One', 'White Shadows', 'Speed of Sound', 'Talk', or 'The Hardest Part'. However, as a whole, I can understand why people have issues with it. The only tracks I would have left off are 'Low' and 'Til Kingdom Come' - it just doesn't really fit on the album and feels tacked on. It would have been better as a b-side, like 'Death Will Never Conquer' was. I like both tracks, but feel they are more b-side material... Now I can see the debate on 'The Hardest Part' since it is one of their most mainstream-sounding songs. I adore it though. It just makes me happy. I find it the easiest one to sing of their songs too, ha. I love the new piano only version, which only intensified my love for it. Plus it has a great video to boot! And I can't believe someone said they don't like 'God Put A Smile Upon Your Face'!!! That is one of my all-time favourite Coldplay songs!

:o They better not mean they don't want to be there! :veryangry2:

IOWA needs more people like us going to it.. San Antonio RULED THE WORLD in amazingness :laugh3: TEXAS shows are always hot for some reason - mmm, partly due to some person with the first initial A...

LOL, I heard that too, but it seems super harsh since Will just picked up the drums, so obviously he had to go through the learning curve :dozey::rolleyes:

Oooh maybe you did then, lol, my avi kind of has me hidden behind my camera, but that just happened to be the time the chronicle took the shot :laugh3: At one point, I was the only person sitting in section 10 and I was wearing a white 'paint splatter' t-shirt on the left aisle of last row... Oh, btw, I'm pretty sure YOU are in one of the Chronicle pictures from Houston last year!! I took a look at them again, and it's blurry, but I think you are there, in the 3rd pic :P Here are the originals: This is the one that was in the paper... That's me almost dead center! :P ... and to the right And... I think that's you in the lower left holding the camera up, below the two guys from me :P I can't believe I have my camera up in all three shots, lol!

Yeah, I got some and posted them in the Will thread :) @ localola86, thanks for the compliments on the photos :P @ TheAngie, lol, that was my first time to Bucee's too... can they possibly have enough advertising along I-10?! There was a sign almost every 20 miles or so! Oh, and I took ONE photo of Snow Patrol, lol... and it's not even that great, ha

Ah, don't feel bad, I got my ticket in April... they released more seats and I just happened to be checking that day! LOL, I'm doing the same thing as you Angie, maybe I'll meet you at one of these shows then. I saw who I thought was you at the San Antonio gig yesterday, but this woman wouldn't let me on the floor when I tried to come over to introduce myself, so I gave up :( Actually probably a good thing in case it wasn't you! :laugh3: So is there no shade in the PIT?!?! and no bathrooms?!?! Oh well, Dallas is the only show I've been able to get PIT so I guess I'll have to suck it up... I'm not planning on being front row anyway, I will probably lurk at the back of the PIT, ha! So when were the Houston PIT tickets available?

I'm SO sorry about hijacking the thread with my pics and vids!!! :shocked2:I was having issues with the Spoiler thing for some reason and it ended up showing everything I posted and taking up a ton of space :dozey::o - So I fixed them all and put what the spoiler contains (on pages 27 and 28). Sorry about that!

Ok, here's some video, although it's kind of crappy... ha Chris Asking Will 'Are you In love?'

I'm Section 102, Row H :)

First batch of videos... they didn't come out as great as I thought they would, but I did get some of the little ditty sung by Chris on the C-Stage. Most of them are pretty short since I didn't have much space on my camera since I forgot the bigger card :( Oh well, I will be better prepared in July. Hope they are at least bareable, lol! 6 VIDEOS: Life In Technicolor Sparkler Entrance In My Place Yellow - Balloons! Strawberry Swing Viva La Vida Intro Viva La Vida

And the next batch... 12 PHOTOS:

Ok, here's the rest of my pics in two posts. I'll try to upload the vids later tonight since I got some pretty good ones of Chris' little song he did and them running from stage to back, etc.... although my camera is kind of crappy quality, but oh well... 13 PHOTOS:

Okie dokie, as promised, I tried to take some pics and vid specifically of Will for you all at the San Antonio concert. Here are the pics - I still have to figure out the video part :confused: I got some really good video :) Hope you enjoy the pics for now!

Ok, so now I have gotten some sleep, I'll post the rest of my pics that I didn't put in the first post. How do you do the little 'spoiler' thing so it doesn't take up the whole page?!

Hi guys, just got back from San Antonio (after a nearly 3 hour drive to Houston) and I have to say the show was incredible tonight! All four of the guys were in top form tonight. The set list didn't change as far as I could tell... The crowd was great (Chris even mentioned this a few times) and it was just a great time had by everyone I think. I really need to hit the hay, but I'll leave you with these - I'll post more pics/vids/info tomorrow! Oh, and I think I saw Angie on the floor, but didn't get a chance to introduce myself :(

Yay! it's here... I'm heading off to San Antonio in about 15 mins :) I'm going to hide my camera, but don't think you really need to as long as it's a point and shoot. I just don't want to get that one security guard that likes to feel they have power :rolleyes:

Ooh my bad. Well at least there will be updates tomorrow!

wow, quiet in here, ha... thought i'd stop in and see if anything was going on. I know tomorrow is going to be busy, ha! It's times like this I wish I had an iPhone or something so I could twitter, but Angie will be able to do that ;) Sooooo excited about tomorrow though! It's so f'ing hot, ugh...

Well, someone else was successful at running into them...

Damn, if I wasn't working, I'd have sooooo been in Austin at that show, lol! I sent my friend out to see if he could spot them after the gig, but no luck...
