Love the Roadies! Well, I've turned another person into a Coldplay fan! First was my dad at Alpine Valley, and now my boyfriend!! We didn't think we were even going because we couldn't get tickets. Then craigslist came along and some guy was selling his section 333 seats. Nosebleeds, 2nd row from the top. I had heard about the roadies and their awesomeness from here, and we bumped into Mick, the Lighting Crew Chief and a really fantastic guy. We chatted a bit about touring and how he got into lighting (by not studying very much in school, he said). He then asked if we knew what the roadies do, and I admitted to hearing about it. Being honest seemed to work (he probably knew that we knew anyway...) and he said he'd ask us a few questions and then maybe change his mind. He did ask if we'd seen any of the questions online and we said no, because I just read about the roadie thing the day before. So I'll keep that going and not repeat the questions! :laugh3: Like any superfan, I answered them all easily. He told us not to scream or yell, and then said to look at our tickets... Section 1. Row 1. :shocked2: I teared up a bit and hugged him and stood in shock for a few seconds... The walk from the 300 level to the floor is so awesome. All this craziness and the concert hadn't even started... and that was mind blowing as well!!!
