I've got tickets to this show, and I'm really hoping the weather is better this time around. Went to the Saturday show back in July that got rain-shortened (like many others). Can't wait to see the full show! I was mostly bummed we missed out on Up&Up due to the storm. Last go-around I had tickets in the 300 level in the opposite endzone. This time, I have tickets in the 300 level at about midfield, so they should be better. Couldn't afford the floor tickets, but Coldplay shows are fun no matter where your seats are. I only wish I didn't have to wait so long for the show!

I'm sure they'll be fine. Thank you again!

That is super nice of you! I think I'll take you up on the offer.

Sky Full of Stars on Saturday was probably the most fun I've had at a concert. Thanks for linking in those videos!

In case anyone's interested, here's some of the media I got last night.

I was there last night. I was bummed the openers were cut, but so happy Coldplay got almost a full set in. I was convinced that they would get 5 songs in and have to stop because the radar did not look very nice around 8:00 last night. brobbins is right on about the feeling in the stadium for the show. Everyone sort of just took the weather situation for what it was and made the best of it. The place was electric when the band came on stage to start the show. I don't think I've ever experienced anything quite like last night. It was definitely one for the memory books.

That's great!

It was good to see Forte get some good runs in yesterday. I thought he was going to have a better game than he did, but it was decent nonetheless. Johnny Knox is developing into a solid WR very quickly. He's been the biggest surprise of the Bears' season for me so far (well, except Cutler's horrible first game - that was a shocker). Bennett is coming around nicely too. They've got a better team than I thought going into the season. Peyton used to annoy the crap out of me, but he's grown on me over the last year or so. I think the turnaround started with that Oreo DSRL commercial with Eli and the Williams sisters. "It's on like Donkey Kong!" :laugh3:

Yeah, the Sox need to start playing a LOT better leading into the playoffs. The hot teams are the ones that get to the next round. Hopefully someone can be a spark plug for the last week of the season.

How about Robbie Gould showing the Steelers who's boss Sunday!? That was quite an amazing game. Looking forward to Forte finally breaking out against the Seahawks on Sunday. I really think it's going to happen for him this week. And of course Jay will also make their defense look like a pee wee team.

I know I've been away awhile. Just been busy. I went to 2 Cubs games last week (Sunday vs. Reds & Monday vs. Brewers). Both were fun, Monday's was great though. Some great pitching and defense from both teams makes for a good game. I'm liking the fact that the Cubs haven't officially lost the Central yet - they won't give up. They left St. Louis on Sunday with the Cards' magic number at 4, I believe, and they still haven't been able to clinch. I'll call that an accomplishment in what has been a very disappointing 2 months. The season as a whole hasn't been bad, it's just been since the beginning of August that they fell apart. The Phillies should be worried about those injuries. Pedro doesn't surprise me, but they need either him or Happ back in top form soon, so they'll be ready for the postseason. Red Sox's wild card magic number is 3!!! How sweet would it be for them to clinch the wild card at Yankee Stadium, and keep the Yankees from clinching at the same time! That would be awesome. I'm done with my novel of a post.

I fully understand your frustration...I can't stand the Cardinals. But at least it's not the AL Central - nobody ever wants to win that division, and that's the only reason that race is usually so tight, not because the teams are really good or anything. Although in that case, maybe the Cubs and White Sox should switch divisions...then the Cubs would probably only be 2 games out at this point. (Not sure of actual records, just making a jab)

I'm glad I'm not a Pirates fan either...a losing tradition for 17 years, and counting...that would suck! At least the Nationals are new to DC. They've only had to deal with losing for 5 seasons. And the Nationals are at least trying to get better, where the Pirates are just trying to unload salary.

I wouldn't say I'm obsessed in general with Coldplay. I'm a huge fan, and I think they're the most talented band making music right now. I have my moments when I get obsessed and I'll listen to them for a whole day or two. I did have a week-long obsession after the Alpine Valley concert. They're not my absolute favorite artist though, so I'm not as dedicated to them as some others are. I really love their music, and I don't think I go an entire day ever without listening to at least one of their songs, but I don't always seek it out - sometimes a song just comes up in a playlist on my iPod. I am a very big fan though, and I'm very much looking forward to their next album and tour.

This is very exciting news! I really hope this article is right. I would LOVE to have a copy of that DVD. This tour is by far the best I've ever been to.

OK, so the Cubs' problem this season??? They lose on the same days the teams ahead of them lose, and win on days everyone else wins too. It's so frustrating! I know their chances of the playoffs are way far off, but I still think if they can catch lightning in a bottle with some of the guys they bring up, they can make the race interesting (or at least I really hope it could happen). I hate giving up on them this early, when the door is still cracked for them to sneak in, but I'm almost at the end of that string of faith. And yesterday's game was just complete CRAP! Probably one of the worst games of the year...Soriano should be given the complete opposite of a Gold Glove this year. He's been extremely horrible on defense this year even more than he usually is. But those Red Sox have their fate in their own hands, which is always a good thing. I want them to sweep the White Sox so badly this weekend, you have no idea! That would probably make me almost completely forget about yesterday's horrible display of "professional" baseball by the Cubs.

What do you get when you are upside-down for too long?

What do you get when you stand on your head for too long?

I thought it was a 2-hitter...still a great feat, but I just had to point that out.

Assuming the Cubs don't make the playoffs, I'd obviously be rooting for the Red Sox to win it all, but I'd be rooting for the Giants in the NL. Although it would be cool for the Dodgers to win it all so Thome can get a ring - he deserves it.

Well, the Red Sox games this week have been a lot of fun...I especially loved seeing Ozzie's face when Contreras kept giving free runs away...priceless! I love seeing Ozzie get frustrated. It makes me hate the Cubs less right now! And about the Phillies...at least they didn't lose by 9 to the Nationals AT HOME!!!!

Talk about bad pitching...how about your closer giving up the lead, then a 3-run walk-off homerun to one of the worst teams in the majors! I'm glad Gregg is finally being moved out of the closer role, but I'm not sure the Cubs have many other options. Smoltz might be a good pickup for that spot, assuming he'd pitch better in a relief role than as a starter at this point.

And the Cubs bats disappeared:angry::(:confused::veryangry2::cry: ...Along with the great pitching, but the pitching has been screwed over by injuries.:bomb:
