So I was looking at the official pdf of record store day releases for the US and it isn't on the list?? And in an email I got from my local record store it says that it was "delayed or canceled". I guess I'm not going to find it anywhere, then? Nevermind! Dumb me. Looked back in the thread

You're very welcome. No worries about the picture, I'm just glad you got it! I'm also pleased you would like to become pen pals!. I look forward to hearing from you soon. :) Happy New Year and have fun on your vacation!

I'm worried that the package I sent to my Secret Santa is lost in the mail. I haven't heard anything from them about receiving it. I really hope you get it soon, Secret Santa!

I'm so happy! I got my package from my secret santa, Black Rose, from Wiltshire, England a couple days ago. Sorry I just now got to posting pictures! It includes a postcard, key chain, a piece of coldplay confetti, a festive picture, and a lovely note. Thank you so much! I never got confetti on the MX tour, so this means a lot to me. The key chain is going on my key ring tomorrow. Again, thanks so much to my lovely secret santa, Black Rose! This was so lovely! It made my day! :) I feel bad that I've only just sent my match their package today, after I already got mine! The post office said it should be there in 5 to 10 business days, though. So hopefully it gets there soon!

PM sent! I'm so excited! :lol:

Same for me. It isn't even showing up yet. :huh2:

Not up in iTunes for me yet and I live in the US. :confused:

Haha! I'm going to my local studio movie grill in Dallas me and my friend are going to the Plano location at the 6:30 time. Anybody else in Dallas going?

I know how you feel! I was debating about pictures or watching the show mostly with my own eyes. Just having a good time and watching prevailed, although I got some pictures and video, since the seats I had were the closest to the stage I've ever had before. No rush on your next video lol!

Wow! The Xylobands look so pretty from where you are sitting. You really get the full effect! Thanks so much for posting. :D

And also yeah his Dunder Mifflin Shirt is freaking awesome! I didn't notice it till I was looking at the pictures later. Lol! Shame on me!

That sucks! That's the last thing I want is to leave the venue soaked and reeking of beer! I'm sorry. :( Luckily no beer was spilt on me but they blocked my view and distracted me.

Yeah sadly this is the case. The guy in front of me kept getting beers passed to him from a guy behind me. :/ so annoying!!! Also I hate how the majority of people who have tickets for the 100s and floor level seats don't show up till Coldplay starts. I alway feel bad for the openers for that reason. There did seem to be a small group of dedicated fans on the floor who were out of their seats and next to the catwalk the whole time though, which made me a little happier.

Thanks! :)

Oh and I have another story to tell! LOL! I almost forgot! So me and my friend Emily, who went to the concert with me went back to the AAC the second night after the concert to try to meet Coldplay. So we went around the side to the crew exit and sure enough there were 3 other people waiting beside a partition. So we decided to hang around and see if we could meet the band. We wait for about 30 or 45 minutes and some guys start to walk out. My friend was like "Is that Wolf Gang?!" I wasn't sure, but sure enough some lady a little farther down stopped them for a picture. So we ran over just as they were about to walk away and said "Wait! Can we please have a picture?" They were so adorable. I don't think they are used to getting noticed, but they complied and let us take a picture with them. :) They didn't stay to talk, though. So we wait a little longer. And Matt McGinn walks out! I was so terribly nervous to talk to him that all I could say was "Hi!" and wave, to which he tiredly held up a hand and said "hi" quite annoyed sounding as he walked over to the bus he was staying. I really wanted to be like "I've read your book! It was fantastic!", but I just couldn't say anything lol! So then we waited again, talking to the security guard and two other people who were waiting and I see another familiar face, Hoppy. This time I had a little more courage saying, "Are you Hoppy?". He seemed surprised that I knew who he was as he slowly turned around and said, "Yes." as he kept walking. I waved and said, "It's nice to meet you!". Now it's around 1 or so and a crew member with an English accent (so I assumed Coldplay crew and not AA venue crew) says to us, "Who are you waiting for?". My friend replies, "Coldplay". and He's like "Oh yeah, they've been gone for a while. Left in the Limo through the crew door (you can drive underneath the venue). They're already back at the hotel." So no meeting Coldplay, but at least we met Wolf Gang and some of the crew! Me and Wolf Gang! Emily and Wolf Gang!

Okay, so this is really late to write a review and show my pictures, but in my defense I did tweet the setlist live! :P First of all. I live in Dallas and this is my 5th time seeing Coldplay, the second time I've seen them at the AAC (I went in Nov. 2008 during Viva tour). I went to the 22nd show on Friday night and I had the best seats I've ever had for Coldplay, section 103 row U. Right on with the stage on Guy's side. Me and my friend were running late because of traffic and got to our seats right as Wolf Gang started. They were amazing! I saw them last year at T in the Park where they played the same day as Coldplay and I've been in love ever since. There were very few people here at this point and I seemed to be the only one up and dancing around in my section, but I didn't mind! Then Robyn came on and I distracted myself by talking with my friend and talking a bit to the girls who were sitting next to us. It was their first Coldplay concert. :) Once 99 problems came on, everybody was up and ready for Coldplay. Then, the Back to the Future theme started we could see the band enter the stage from where we were. I was so excited!! The crowd exploded with delight when the Xylobands lit up for MX/HLH! It got the crowd up and moving, unlike in 2008 when it seemed nobody got out of their seats until VLV. As expected there were some wonderful Buckin' moments during IMP. And a TON of confetti. After this wonderful intro, Chris as usual, thanked us from going through the ticket prices and parking and whatever else we had to go through to get to the concert. Another highlight for me was when Jonny went out on the catwalk like the rockstar he is during his solo for GPASUYF. He's really gotten out of his shell! Chris came up and performed on the little plaform closest to our section several times. He also ran up on the back of the stage and performed for the people who bought seats from behind the stage, as did Jonny at one point. They really do a good job of trying to give everyone the best view that they could. Chris was adorable with his F***k up on the Hardest Part. LOL! I also really enjoyed the C stage set. It was so nice to hear Speed of Sound! I also really love that they just powered through the last few songs without the pretention of an "encore". Everbody who's a fan knows that their encores have always been planned out anyway! Overall I have to say that this is one of my favorite times I've seen them. The crowd was good with lots of singing along and dancing, unlike some other times I've seen them. The band seemed to have a lot of energy and really enjoyed themselves up there. Also, the Xylobands have to have been the coolest thing I've ever experienced. Truly breathtaking! Now for some pictures! I didn't take to many, because these were the best seats I've ever had and I wanted to enjoy the show with my own eyes.

Lol! I'm totally about to make one. I'm not a fan.

I know! I'm glad! I absolutely love them. I saw them for the first time at T in the park last year.

I'm tweeting @MajorMinusMedia I have a pretty good view. Section 103 on Guy's side of the stage.

Yeah that is what every ticket I get looks like. I was surprised at how beautiful my T in the Park ticket was when I went last summer.

I'll try to tweet the setlist tonight. Follow me @MajorMinusMedia

I remember this! Lol! The thought of them going to medieval times makes me want to lmfao! It's a dinner and show place where you watch knights compete and you have to eat with your hands.

Me and my friend went last night to drive around the American airlines center and we saw all the trucks for the stage and equipment and the tour buses for the road crew. We also hung around the hotel we speculate they are staying at, but we didn't see them. :( I will post pictures of the buses and stuff soon!

I forgot to ask. Did we decide if we were meeting up somewhere? If so where and when?

I'm flying back to Dallas from Florida today! Can't wait for the concert! I have section 103 row P (I think? Don't have my tickets with me). I'm secretly hoping I'm gonna run into Coldplay at DFW when I arrive today. :P
