well we came up to cleveland around 12ish and got the hotel, and i called the make trade fair guy, bc of the voulnteering thing, where i'd hand out flyers to help the band promote it.. well anyways me and james(my bf) got there around 2 because we weren't really sure what time to come bc the guy told us two diff. times. well none of the volunteers had arrived yet and didnt come til like 4:30, but anyway.. it was just me and james!!!!! besides the employee ppl.. and we got the whole place to ourselves and we watched them do their sound check and everything!!!!!! and we were so excited bc it was like they were singing just for us!! and omg.. well anyway they left and the opening acts came out to do sound checks, they were this texas band family type thing.. really young but really awesome.. eisly.. and ron sexsmith, some canadian singer. james went to the bathroom about 3 or so and came back and was like coldplays shooting hoops in the standing area.. and im like noo way so i went over and watched them but didnt know if i should go say hey or not, so i didnt wanna get kicked out or anything so i just waited.. and then it was only guy and will playing when i stopped and went to greet the others that came aroundl 4:30, they all were -really- cool and i thought they'd be some crazy ppl but they were really down to earth. anyway, they notice them playing bball and it was just will then, and they went up to them and i was like well if they're going i am too! and we played bball with guy!!!!!!!!!! the drummer!!!!! and he asked me for the time and when he left i got a picture with him AND he shook my hand and said nice meeting you!!!!!!!!!! omggggggggg ahahhah so then after i calmed down the mtf guy came and told us what we had to do. well they let ppl in around 7 and me and james had to help a little so didnt get inFRONT but we were like 10 feet away, and it was all standing so we were RIGHT there and they were SOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO awesome and soooooooo better in person and so everything and i was SO happy i cant even begin describing it!! ohh and when we had to get the boxes that had the postcards in them to hand out during the show, they were in coldplays tour bus and i went to get mine and chris was in there (the lead singer) practicing!!!!!!!!! well after the show we went back to the car and met his mom (she went too but we didnt stay together).. and she was like "yeah, well the lead singer peed behind my car like 10 ft away by the garbage" and me and james looked at each other and were like OMG NO WAY and shes like yeah and these two kids came up to me asking if they should get his autograph, and they got it!!!!!!! but his mom didnt and we got mad, lol. but i thought that was really cool bc i can say ohh yeah chris peed behind james moms car! but overall is was great, the best day of my life! i attached the picture i got with him, i'll add a link later of the pictures of them playing bball and stuff. thanks for letting me share! :D :D :D :D :D i'm still so excited because i got to begin my summer with them. def. an experience i'll never forget! ;)
