I know. I KNOW!!!!! So wonderful and sweet. It meant so much to those kids!

This was written in a daily update posted by the girls parents on Facebook! :) It is a public page with 2500 followers from around the world, so I feel ok sharing it! This morning we were told that Chris Martin of Coldplay would be visiting the hospital and meeting with teenagers in Marnie's Lounge at 5pm. Only one parent could go and Sinead was also allowed. We were sworn to secrecy. We couldn't even tell our nurse. I got to accompany the girls in. It was so exciting! It was a small group. Chris was chatty and happy. He had visited some kids in their rooms before coming to the Lounge. He answered some questions and ask some as well. He encouraged one 14 y/o boy who played guitar, wrote songs and had formed a band with a couple of friends. "We'll see you at the Juno's in a few years." Chris told him. "I hope so." The boy answered. "No, you have to know. You have to believe you will be there." Then he complemented Sinead on her pink hair and asked why she choose that colour. The fact that she did it because she saw it in Shopper's, with her friend, and they decided to just do it seemed like a good reason to him. Then he sang "Paradise", which always chokes me up these days. There was a group photo taken. We were not allowed to take our own pictures. On the way out everyone got a loot bag. It was a good one! Autographed picture, latest CD, a large book of coloured pictures of the band and stories, a nice sketch pad, pencil crayons, an iPod shuffle and some other things. When I read this, I honestly got a newfound respect for Chris. :dazzled:

I love reading the tweets of those upgraded. It is seriously the biggest rush ever!

I have the whole story of his visit to Sick Kids in Toronto, but I'm not sure where to post it. I knew 2 girls he met.

*dies*

I'm thinking about some friends there tonight! Have a blast!!!!!!

Awesome pictures!!!

I will take one for the team and share his! ;)

Did you survive it??? :)

If I win the lottery one day....

Congrats!!! Make sure to let us know how it is!

This thread is killing me!!!!!

^ I saw that review earlier and I am so confused at how one can see it so differently than all of the others.

Bump!!! Section 118 here! It's getting so close!

I really want to tell someone to go f*ck themselves, but I'm usually so quiet and timid.... Might be time to change that! :sneaky:

Don't give up. Keep checking! :)

My daughter is a One Direction and a Coldplay fan. Needless to say we have been watching that clip all day!!!

Yes they usually are. Start checking ticketmaster around 9, but they usually drop early afternoon! Good luck!

I was front row in Toronto, and took pictures right in front of security with my digital camera. It was just a point and shoot. Security had no issue with it at all. anything that has a detachable lens will cause problems. Better to just not risk it.

I really hope you make it to another one!

Thanks! The paint comes out of the tubes quite neatly, but practice a bit on something to get a feel for the flow. I got a pack of 8 tubes for under $10. I actually am going to go out today to buy another shirt to decorate for my show in St. Paul! My daughter is making one too!!!

Is that lens detachable?

Agreed. We posted how happy and excited we were, and U2 fans were saying " I guess that is 2 less for the next U2 tour." The hide button on fb is a wonderful thing! ;)

13!!!!
