[25-Jun-2012] Coldplay @ Toyota Center, Houston, Texas, USA
Well, what a night! Let’s begin at well ha the beginning. So a couple months ago I applied to work with Oxfam and initially I was not chosen, but they put me on a wait list if anyone dropped out. 2 days later and I got the oh so charming email asking me if I still wanted to do. Well that was easy.. Heck yeah! So I was informed we were to meet at 4 at the box offices and that was that. I drove down from a north Houston suburb and met some incredible people and had a brilliant experience! Oxfam has some wonderful campaigns and are trying so hard to get people to take note and it can be hard when people just assume you are out for their money. They tend to take the awkward way around you. But then you meet the avid people who are already taking action and love Oxfam, those are the best because you can talk to them with free reign and really understand how they got into Oxfam! So I worked my best Houston charm for 2 hours promoting #lovefoodhateinjustice My crew were top notch! We had a blast! But not everyone is there for the same reasons, and that puts a damper on things, but the rest of us owned the Toyota Center! After volunteering they thanked us for our hard work and sent us off with tickets! I had already purchased a ticket so I went to my original spot which if you were to look at the stage from the audience, I was directly to the left of the stage where Guitar Roadie Matt’s layer of Jonny is located, so I got to watch the roadies dancing it out to 99 problems and watched as they prepared for the show to get underway. So I sat down with about 10 minuets to spare before the show starts and there was a couple next to me who commented on how I had just made it and we got to chatting. They kept asking questions about the band and songs and about the wristbands, I pointed out Miller who was on the stage taking the panorama and they thought that was “soooo cool” how they did that (they had already had a couple of beers to begin with) Then comes 99 problems, and back to the future and I just lit up! Same set list, but it didn’t matter, the show was incredible! I’m pretty sure I gave the guy behind me a black eye when I jumped up and thrusted my fists in the air. Eh his fault. The lights were brilliant and bright, the sound was thrilling and the boys were on fire! Jonny would glance over at us and grin and Guy made his way around the back to say hello to our side during in my place when Chris took over his side. Will, sigh Will was beating his drums to the rhythm of my pulse. I wish I could have gotten a better shot of him with my camera, but he moves to fast ☺ Chris is great about including the folk behind the stage so major props to him! I didn’t find him overly talkative though; he through in a couple Houston’s and sing this with me bits, but nothing to really shout about. Highlights for tonight had to be a warning sign, and us against the world. Beautiful! Oh before he began fix you, he tossed in a bit of Beyonce, seeing as this her home town. Also to the guys who sit way up with the spotlights! Y’all have balls of steal! And to the roadie who chilled behind Will all night, you have one blessed ass to view! Envy to the max! Great night and I can’t wait to do it all over again tonight! I’ll be on the floor so a different view indeed! Oh also saw Hoppy before they opened the doors, I called out to him but he gave me a double take, probably because I said his name and because I was dressed as a chili pepper.

I talked to a lady from the center and she said that the good seats like what was said above won't go on sale till general sale on Saturday. Right now they are selling seats in sections CBA starting at row 16, so pretty far back! And they are selling the side seats starting around 7 rows up. So wait! :D
