TODAY SHOW (27th JUNE) COLDPLAYING EXCLUSIVE OVER - VIP PASS WINNERS ANNOUNCED

[halokiti]

Congrats to the winners, I'm excited for you guys. Like in school, my essay ain't good enough. :-( I'll survive somehow. If anyone wants to take pity and let me share in their moment of Coldplay glory PM me. I can get there real fast.

[coldplayay]

so still no extra VIP passes needed to be taken care of??

[rocknroll389]

Oh gosh...I'd do anything for a VIP pass...

[CRYSTAL]

i am not going to sleep entirely tomorrow's night anyway.

this is a real challenge to me to come there early.

[soleil]

oh man, i didn't see this thread until now.. :(
congratulations to all who won!

hopefully you guys will post all about your experiences!! yay!

[silence_apart]

Oh gosh...I'd do anything for a VIP pass...

So would I. Pretty much anything.


So for the people without VIP passes, are people honestly going that early? 9 pm the day before? Or do we think it's safe to get there at like 3 in the morning and still have a good spot?

[jo_saw_sparks]

hello lovessss
so does anyone know if there's anyone out there right now? im getting really paranoid about getting there too late. i wanna be front row so badly! lol

[silence_apart]

I know me too! I'm trying to figure out when to go in with my friends.

Well I have to go to work there anyway tomorrow morning, so I'll try and let you know if there's anyone there then hah.

I feel that if there aren't people posting on here saying that they are starting to camp out now, there's no one there. If you're that dedicated, you've probably come across Coldplaying.com lol

But I'll keep a look out.
Good thing I have Friday off.

[coldplayay]

yup i will be there maybe 8pm tomorrow! so excited! i am nervous bc my parents will be pissed if they find out that i spent the night on a nyc street! i already have excused and i plan on stuffing my bed in the same manner as ferris bueller..LOL

ah that'd be great lol thanks

[coldplayay]

if i get there that early and its possible, ill try to hold places for you guys, if you can devise a plan of some sort??

[BostonSportsTD]

ok so any decision on what time us VIPers should get there? i know 630 at the latest... so maybe like 545??

[Texasluvsjonny]

I can't help laughing about how we're going to be in the VIP pen. Seriously makes us sound like barnyard animals or something!

mooooooo

[Texasluvsjonny]

ok so any decision on what time us VIPers should get there? i know 630 at the latest... so maybe like 545??I'm gonna go down there and check it out at around 4:30ish and stuff because I am short and need to be up front. :(

[BostonSportsTD]

wow haha i dont think ill be there THAT early. i just finished making my arrangements. im talking the fung wah bus (which is a bus that goes from chinatown in boston to chinatown in new york for only $15) and then im spending the night at my 'guest's' cousins' apartment (my guest is my best friend emma who is as big a coldplay fan as me... just not as big of a stalker :P). i'm not sure where the apartment is so i dont know how early we will have to get up and leave. but i could care less!!

[ApproximatelyInfinite]

my train gets in to GCT at 5:50 AM, so...i'm thinking i'll check in at 6, and get settled in my spot around 6:15. that makes me nervous, but i cant get there any earlier.

angie, do you think there's any possible way you could kind of...make yourself obvious w(like tell us what your sign says or something) so some of us coldplayers that can't get there as early can gravitate towards you and a decent spot in the pen? that would be amazing if you would!!

[winigwl]

i feel like thursday is a waste of a day. i just want to go already!!!

[BostonSportsTD]

i wish i knew what all of you looked like!! i know there will be awkward situations where ill approach someone and wonder... are they from coldplaying??? or just some nub who won from another competition??? haha we should just wear name tags with our usernames or soemthing!

[polkahard]

I know! It seems like this pen is going to be mostly Coldplayers though. I mean, 25 of us in one place??

Should we make this a college facebook (no, not that Facebook) -esque thread and post our pictures so we can recognize everybody? :laugh4:

[jo_saw_sparks]

i wish i knew what all of you looked like!! i know there will be awkward situations where ill approach someone and wonder... are they from coldplaying??? or just some nub who won from another competition??? haha we should just wear name tags with our usernames or soemthing!
lol i was JUST going to suggest name tags. i think that'd be really cute =P
now.. are the coldplayingers gonna be the only people in the 'pen'?

[ApproximatelyInfinite]

i just posted pics of me in the "post pictures with your VLVODAAHF" thread if anyone wants to have a looky there :P

i'll be wearing jeans, a red "VIVA LA VIDA" shirt from MSG that my friend got for me, a black jacket like the one chris wore in the scientist video, red converse, and i have shortish brown hair and glasses. i'll also have a sign that says "the sky could be blue, could be grey, without IAN we'd be miles away!"

and i'll be with a tall guy, probably wearing a "CANADA" baseball hat, who is my brother :P

i like the idea of a "facebook" thread, though! maybe in the live section?

[BostonSportsTD]

yesss lets definately make that thread!!

[ApproximatelyInfinite]

i'll do it if we want!! in the live section though, i think :D

just give me the high sign so i don't create one AFTER someone else does

[BostonSportsTD]

haha no... you should do it.

[ApproximatelyInfinite]

ok, check the live section in a few minutes!!

[Texasluvsjonny]

my train gets in to GCT at 5:50 AM, so...i'm thinking i'll check in at 6, and get settled in my spot around 6:15. that makes me nervous, but i cant get there any earlier.

I will be wearing my shirt I made that says:

And my sign says :

THANKS IAN

coldplaying.com

[ApproximatelyInfinite]

i just created the "facebook" thread (http://www.coldplaying.com/forum/showthread.php?p=2417466#post2417466)for us to post pics of each other etc so we can find each other! its in the live section :D

[LiquidSky]

okay, okay, okay, okay I just got home and ahhhhhhhhhh!!!!!!!!!AHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!! Good thing, I got everything covered up for Friday. It's going to be a looooooooonggggggg Thursday and a loooooooonggggggggggggg Friday and yes a loooooooonnnnnnngggggg Saturday even but it's all gonna be worth it because I'M GONNA MEET JONNY FOR THE FIRST TIME!!!!!! If you guys see a girl with short hair climbing to the stage.. you can guess that it's me!:lol::lol::lol: I'll see you guys up in NYC and save me a spot! I don't know what I'll be wearing yet because I didn't get enough time to plan and design a shirt.. but I think I'll probably gonna be wearing my Coldplay shirt or end up making something at the last minute. This is so exciting! I can't wait! Thank you so much, Ian and Jen! I should probably get some rest now and try to sleep because whenever I get up tomorrow early morning I am so not gonna sleep until Sunday :wideeyed:

[ApproximatelyInfinite]

alrighty, coldplayers, i'm going to bed. but see you all THE DAY AFTER TOMORROW!!! :stunned:


ahhhhh i can't wait....

[BostonSportsTD]

ok! night! i think i'm about to head off too. i probably won't be on here tomorrow since im leaving for NY around noon. sooo... talk to you all again FRIDAY!

[Texasluvsjonny]

I managed to find someone to switch shifts with me so I won't have to work until Saturday night instead of rushing from the airport straight into work Friday night. I'm leaving as soon as get off at 7am for the airport.

[CRYSTAL]

Those people in coldplaying.com if they want to spot me at the Today show if i stand any where near you!

i give my photo!

[Christa42]

did anyone sleep last night? i am so excited. i cancelled all my meetings for today and tomorrow.

[ColdplayJoe]

Hey everyone! I couldn't sleep at all last night!

If you guys see a guy with Chris' jacket on in the VIP section, you may mob him, but it won't be Chris. My girlfriend will be finishing up some of the buttons and arm bands this morning, so I will be wearing that.

What time are all of the VIPers going to be arriving for check-in? I am thinking around 5:00-5:30 AM. Save me a spot with all of you if you can!

[CookyMnstr]

I'm still awake! LOL (i work night shift, and came home at 5 and read the email that told me I'd won!!!!) Now I'm waiting until SOMEONE/ANYONE in my life wakes up and gets back to me so I can tell them my story :D. they all think I'm crazy, that's why I come on here to feel "normal." lol

[FluMTonks]

I'm a winner too :)

I'm soooo excited, I started screaming and running around my house when I saw my e-mail :D A group of my friends are going and we're meeting there at 5:30, but me and one are gonna be closer, oh noes, who to pick? But, Guy Berryman and Will Champion up close.... I CAN'T WAIT :cool:

[silence_apart]

Well, I guess I'll be going at like 9pm tonight. Pulling an all-nighter for Coldplay, it was going to happen someday.

The only thing I'm worried about is that it's suppose to rain tonight haha.
Can anyone think of something that's open 24/7?

[polkahard]

I was wondering if anyone on here won from the Timeout ny online contest- they were giving away VIP Coldplay passes too...unfortunately, i didnt win from there either but im wondering if anyone else has

[xneverwherex]

oohh happy birthday to me (today ---) and just got a call that a friend won VIP Passes!! so thanks to Ian (!!!!) this is going to be one hell of a 34th birthday. if anyone looks slightly out of place - im running off to work straight after (sadly)!

and to think of how many years its been since i first saw coldplay. good god im getting old! and fwiw - i used the original cp messageboards/forum a long time ago - under a different username that i dont even remember.

oh and i think we'll be there around 5:45/6am. I live down the street so it will be a short walk.

[rocknroll389]

Srry if I'm just an idiot, but I counted only 24 screennames on the list of winners busybeeburns posted. Isnt there supposed to be 25?

[masterkraig]

I'm so pumped! The back of my shirt, and my friend's as well, both say:

COLDPLAYING
V I P

I have paint of many colors on it and the front, in VLV cover art type:
VIVA
LA
COLDPLAY

I'll def be uploading pictures! Look for the Coldplaying-ers in the crowd! Woo





I was wondering if anyone on here won from the Timeout ny online contest- they were giving away VIP Coldplay passes too...unfortunately, i didnt win from there either but im wondering if anyone else has

I haven't heard of other VIP giveaways, but I'm glad their contacting fan sites so they know the VIP tickets will get to those who deserve and appreciate them!

See you all there~

[CRYSTAL]

[Marisa]

Long Live Coldplaying.com!!!! Just made my sign for Ian. Oh I am totally enjoying this!
Allright, I will shut up now (giggles hysterically)

[musicman1990]

OMG i won! Holy Crap!!! This is so exciting!!!! Thank you SOOO much!

[kanayda]

somebody who won vip tix wanna take me with them?? eh? eh????

[jbarry5503]

I just wanted to say a public thank you to Ian for giving my husband and I an opportunity to go to NYC and see the show. I have been a big fan of Coldplay and Coldplaying.com for a very long time. So much so that I organized a farewell message of thanks and love to the band on the night of their last US Twisted Logic Tour show in Philly back in 2006. I didn't do it alone, we had a great group of Coldplay fans from across the US and Canada come together as the USA Loves Coldplay sign gang. After 12,000+ signs I hope they felt the love.
http://i35.photobucket.com/albums/d199/jbarry5503/phillysignsws.jpg

Tomorrow will be special as my husband and I go to honor our daughter who loved Coldplay. Ring of Fire was the very first song she ever sang along to on her own. I was so proud. I had promised Ryan that I would take her to see CP the next time they toured the states but unfortunately she fell ill last summer and passed away in a matter of days. We feel so lucky to be able to go to NYC and share the experience with our daughter. Her spirit will be with us...who knows she probably has the best seat in the house for all of the Coldplay shows.
http://i84.photobucket.com/albums/k39/Fivish037/RyanBoykinSepia.jpg

I can't wait to see my fellow Coldplaying.com friends.
Thanks again Ian...your the best. I owe you a few banners.

Julie

[musicman1990]

Thank you so much for this. This is such a big deal to me. I never have opportunities like this. This is seriously...amazing. See everyone who won tomorrow!!!!

JBARRY5503 I'm sooo sorry for your terrible loss. I'm sure that little Coldplay fan has front row seats to EVERY show!!! :) So happy you got VIP passes! See you there!!!!

hey does anyone know if we can bring cams?
I Hope so!!! I made the mistake of not taking mine to MSG, and then missed a great opportunity to get good shots when they came into the audience to sing Yellow!!!! Now that I'll be even closer than that, I am not making the same mistake!!!! Camera is already charged and ready to go!!

I was there that night, too. It was such a magical moment seeing all of the signs up and the band's reaction to them. I'm so sorry to hear about your daughter, and I'm very glad you have the chance to see the band again tomorrow.

I'll be wearing a CP t-shirt with the Speed Of Sound logo on the back. Be sure to say hi!

50 isn't that many, really. I'm sure we will all have a fantastic view. But I think the shortest should get to go to the front. ;)

[StephBerryman]

I don't know who to choose! Thanks to the people who sent me a pm.
Honestly, I don't know how Ian and Jen did it.

I'm going to the Rockefeller really early...no later than 5:30 am. Whoever gets there first, i'll give my extra. I'm so sorry...why did i think it will be easy who to pick?

[musicman1990]

50 isn't that many, really. I'm sure we will all have a fantastic view. But I think the shortest should get to go to the front. ;)

Right. But in other words, we don't have to get there at 3:30 to get a good seat. If we're VIP, we're going to have one no matter what, right? Cos I'm driving up from about 45 minutes out of Philadelphia, so I'll probably be there closer to a bit after 6 or whatnot.



Dave

[jo_saw_sparks]

PEACEEEEE

[LiquidSky]

[blackchickintheback]

Congrats to all the winners. :dance:

[musicman1990]

Hey LiquidSky...you a Kylie fan too?!?!



Dave

[silence_apart]

So I just got home, and scoped out the place right after work...so about 2 hours ago. I don't think there are any people there yet waiting to see the show, that would be really intense. Or maybe they could be there, and just blended in with lots of tourists and people. But I do see TONS of metal railings stacked on the sides of the street, and a large wooden frame...quite possibly the stage??

So it sounds like there are people that are actually going to camp out there tonight, any one else still near a computer and doing so? I just don't want to be the only one there haha, and have it turn out that no one even shows up until like 3.

Nonetheless, i'm sooo excited for it!!!

[airieslady]

This is sooo coool! I can't wait to see all of you on the TV tomorrow morning! All I can say is make us proud to be from Coldplaying.com! This is an opportunity of a lifetime ... to see all the people on here at this Coldplay show! This is gonna be awesome! And jbarry, I am so happy for you to go to NYC... you definitely deserve this one... you brought tears to my eyes with your daughter's picture...luv ya! Coldplay Joe...can't wait to see your jacket! Jasmyne and Jbella... OMG...This will be one massive group of crazy fans! Hope you get to meet them! Am setting my recorder now! :dance:

[Starlight]

[Cris_Santos]

[ApproximatelyInfinite]

[Cris_Santos]

Coldplay at MSG on Monday, then in a cab on tuesday the driver is blasting the viva la vida CD, yesterday at a mets game the music video of the game is violet hill, then i win vip passes today and right after i go to borders and they're playing the A rush of Blood to the Head CD over the speakers. Coldplay's everywhere...and its awesome!

See everyone tomorrow!

[Christa42]

50 isn't that many, really. I'm sure we will all have a fantastic view. But I think the shortest should get to go to the front. ;)

[polkahard]

Only for Coldplay would I do this...

[Hotplay007]

[winigwl]

[Mimixxx]

Aww I'm very jealous but also very happy for you all!

I can't wait to hear your tales when you get back :nice:

[crazyitalian1988]

Does anyone know who that is with the coldplaying.com poster?

[Mimixxx]

I can't watch it, is it on? Someone has a poster? :bigcry:

[crazyitalian1988]

Yeah, there was someone wtih a poster that said:

Thanks (Name, Can't Remember)
[ ]
[ Viva La Vida Vertical Bars Logo ]

Coldplaying.com


I have no idea who it was though?

[Mimixxx]

Sounds like Angie (texasluvsjonny)

:nice:

[The Mad Hatter]

Daaaaaaamn, the plaza is packed! o_o

This is exciting! I'm recording it, so I can pick it apart to find more Coldplaying signs later. I've been looking. =D

GO BACK TO COLDPLAY I DON'T CARE ABOUT MADONNA.

[xsarehardcorex]

Haha Al Roker, "Cold Play rules!" :laugh3:

[The Mad Hatter]

By the way...this is the best quote ever:

"Coldplay RULES!" - Al Roker

edit:

You beat me to it!!! xDDD

[Mimixxx]

Ooh what's happening. I've been looking online for some kind of illegal streaming option, but to no avail :lol:

[The Mad Hatter]

They're talking about an Olympic swimmer...Michael Phelps...

[dotty biscotti]

A female in the crowd had a "Thanks Ian" sign with the red and black viva logo

[Mimixxx]

Ian's famous :nice:

[The Mad Hatter]

Yeah, everybody's going to try and stalk him now. :o

[Mimixxx]

:dozey:

[The Mad Hatter]

I hate that emoticon.

Why are there so many commercials and so little Coldplay?

[mountainloafers]

Morning everybody! I half expected no one to be in here this morning cause everybody is ON TV! lol

[mountainloafers]

Does anyone know who that is with the coldplaying.com poster?
I think it Approximately Infanite (Chelsea) Didnt she say she was bringing a coldplaying poster the other day?

[Mimixxx]

I think most of them have. I know Angie and Melanie have them too.

[dotty biscotti]

Another half an hour...

[The Mad Hatter]

Woah, they played a clip of "Clocks" and it was dark and I got confused. It's too early in the morning.

I'm so happy, I have to dance. :dance:

[mountainloafers]

Cool! Its nice that they are going to let them play for the whole 1/2 hour! Cant wait!

[The Mad Hatter]

Did he just tell those people that they'd see Will's tush?

woo.

I'm glad they're such a big band, otherwise, it wouldn't be as long of a performance.

[mountainloafers]

I love all the chatter! "Biggest crowd ever" "Biggest band in the world" "Number one album" Its all so gratifying...

[Aleluvscp]

I think most of them have. I know Angie and Melanie have them too.I thought melanie couldn't go

[The Mad Hatter]

I love all the chatter! "Biggest crowd ever" "Biggest band in the world" "Number one album" Its all so gratifying...

Yes, they're being really good to Coldplay.

[Mimixxx]

I thought melanie couldn't go

Hehe, she couldn't, told Ian she couldn't.

Then she changed her mind managed to get a ticket and booked a flight. This was all only like 13 hours ago :lol:

[mountainloafers]

Forlack,

Love the Colplay Rules - Al Roker quote in your new siggy! LOL

[King Payam]

Sorry for the ghetto photo capture method, but as soon as I spotted it, I grabbed my camera. I guess Ian is sorta there....
I believe I've spotted at least one member.

http://img526.imageshack.us/img526/8859/ianwq8.jpg

[The Mad Hatter]

Forlack, Love the Colplay Rules - Al Roker quote in your new siggy! LOL

Thanks. :)

Wow, this bathing suit segment is kind of annoying me. xD

Good job on the capture, King (don't know your name). As long as we can see it, it's fine, no matter the method. :D

[dotty biscotti]

That picture is awesome

[notlost92]

How can Coldplay perform this EARLY?! My sister was going to try and go, but she wasn't going to wake up until 4AM, so I doubt she's anywhere remotely near the stage...

Well, who cares, they're up next!

[mountainloafers]

LOL the fluff pieces I could do without, for sure. That pic of Al is too funny. ONE MINUTE TIL 8:30!!!!!!

[dotty biscotti]

Wooooo!

[mountainloafers]

:dizzy2::hat2::gorgeous::whip::drummer::rolleyes2: :daisy::dance::dance::rolleyes4::laugh1::pimp2::p

WOO HOO!

[The Mad Hatter]

I want to go eat something, but I don't want to leave. xD

WOAH, THAT GUY'S BEEN THERE FOR 14 HOURS!!$?!3

[The Mad Hatter]

Aww, Chris is so nice...

[mountainloafers]

Alright the newsies can SHUT UP now!

[dotty biscotti]

Finallyyy

[notlost92]

HOORAY!! They're on!!!

[mountainloafers]

Clocks? Strange to open with....

[The Mad Hatter]

:DSD:embarassed:CLOCKS FAKFHA;OIFHA;;FD ADSFASDFAS

[Mimixxx]

Sorry for the ghetto photo capture method, but as soon as I spotted it, I grabbed my camera. I guess Ian is sorta there....
I believe I've spotted at least one member.


Amazing, thanks for that

[The Mad Hatter]

lol, SH-SH-SHOOT!

[notlost92]

Wasn't expecting Clocks, especially not first... Oh well!

[The Mad Hatter]

This crowd is lame...were they told to stand there and bob their heads? Or maybe it's the whole waiting for 14+ hours thing. xD

Did anybody see Chris's face just now? xD

I wish they wouldn't have done Clocks.

Does anybody else think it's weird that, at this moment, we know exactly where Coldplay and a few members of Coldplaying are?

[mountainloafers]

Is Will's microphone even on?

[The Mad Hatter]

I'm going to find food during this commercial, I'm about to throw up. xP

[notlost92]

Commercials already? *shakes TV*

I wonder how many songs they'll play...

[dotty biscotti]

They need to give Chris a better microphone. I commend the band for their energy so early in the morning. And the crowd needs some rhythm!

[mountainloafers]

The crowd looks like they are waiting in the lunch line....

[The Mad Hatter]

I think I saw a Coldplaying sign, with arrows or something...HI WILL.

lol, Guy cheer and Chris saying handsome bass player...

YAY VIVA

[dotty biscotti]

Did she just call Jonny "Guy"?

[The Mad Hatter]

^I dunno, I was pretty much annoyed that she cut Jonny off.

Chris messed up. xD

[notlost92]

"I messed up the beginning but that's okay":P

He didn't have time to get to the microphone!

[dotty biscotti]

"I messed up the beginning but that's okay":P

He didn't have time to get to the microphone!

Exactly

[mountainloafers]

LOL CHECK OUT AL!

[The Mad Hatter]

Al Roker was just head-dancing. xDDDD

Good job, Chris, getting them into it!

And I didn't see a Coldplaying sign earlier, I lied.

[Mimixxx]

Is there just a performance or an interview too? I vaguely remember them asking fans to send in questions.

[King Payam]

Thanks. :)

Wow, this bathing suit segment is kind of annoying me. xD

Good job on the capture, King (don't know your name). As long as we can see it, it's fine, no matter the method. :D

My name is Payam :)

Just watching the event on TV makes me excited for everyone there.

[dotty biscotti]

The crowd is annoying me...

[mountainloafers]

They are only going to have time for about 1 more song..... bummer!

[The Mad Hatter]

After the performance, they'll probably do a longer interview.

[notlost92]

Where are all of the Coldplayers? I only saw a sign once, when that picture was taken!

And VLV is definitely getting better live!

[The Mad Hatter]

YAY LOST!!!!

WTF WAS WITH THAT YELPING? XDD

[dotty biscotti]

Lost! yaaayyy

[The Mad Hatter]

I love "Lost!" live, but this crowd is ruining this whole performance!

[notlost92]

Okay, Chris was just practically ON those people, and they just stared at him! Maybe they were asked to be quiet?

[mountainloafers]

Lost is SO good live!

[The Mad Hatter]

Was that a pelvic thrust?

[The Mad Hatter]

Dammit, people pogo! It's not like they can take you out of there or anything! It's too crowded! THIS IS THE GUITAR NOW POGO DAMMIT

[King Payam]

Anyone spot the annoying "Coldplay Doesn't need to plagiarize" signs? How did these people get past all the fans? I believe the sign was misspelt as well.

[The Mad Hatter]

I remember seeing one of those, but it didn't register with me what it said. It doesn't bother me.



Merci beaucoup, tout le monde!

[chileandude1]

theyre done?

[notlost92]

Was that a pelvic thrust?

Haha, who knows? He did it on the Daily Show too...

[mountainloafers]

Hmmmm, 4 songs in a 1/2 hour? Lame crowd! Great effort on the bands part and Chris was great. Im just shocked that the crowd only reacts to television cameras THEY JUST STAND THERE. Taking pictures, hardly no one is dancing or singing... STRANGE.

[Mimixxx]

Even our lot at the front?

[Denise]

^ I was wondering the same :thinking:

[mountainloafers]

Even our lot at the front?
I know! Whats up with that?

[dotty biscotti]

Hmmmm, 4 songs in a 1/2 hour? Lame crowd! Great effort on the bands part and Chris was great. Im just shocked that the crowd only reacts to television cameras THEY JUST STAND THERE. Taking pictures, hardly no one is dancing or singing... STRANGE.

I agree with you 100%. How could you not bust a move to Lost! ? Let alone react when Chris Martin is within arms reach. (This does not apply to the coldplaying members)

[notlost92]

Hmmmm, 4 songs in a 1/2 hour? Lame crowd! Great effort on the bands part and Chris was great. Im just shocked that the crowd only reacts to television cameras THEY JUST STAND THERE. Taking pictures, hardly no one is dancing or singing... STRANGE.

Everyone wants their Youtube/TV fame :P .

I think they were told not to scream and stuff because it would make the broadcast poor. But who knows? I guess we'll find out when our Coldplayers get home...

[chileandude1]

whats the next song?

i think violet hill or lovers in japan

[The Mad Hatter]

I would've been INSANE!!!!!!!!!! I CAN'T BELIEVE THAT AL ROKER WAS THE DANCIEST OF THEM ALL!

CHRIS IS JOGGIN YUAYS

[Mimixxx]

I know! Whats up with that?

Weird, would have thought they'd be wild.

Maybe they were told not to make too much noise or something

[The Mad Hatter]

They're playing "In My Place."

But it was cut off by a commercial, they came back halfway through the song.

[notlost92]

OKAY, WHY DID REGIS AND KELLY JUST COME INSTEAD OF COLDPLAY?!?

[mountainloafers]

LOL! I know! Lets hear it for Al Roker! The biggest fan there!

[The Mad Hatter]

Yes, I'm aware that I'm looking at Cooooldplay.

[The Mad Hatter]

OKAY, WHY DID REGIS AND KELLY JUST COME INSTEAD OF COLDPLAY?!?


Oh my god...I'm so sorry! :shocked2:

[The Mad Hatter]

ONE MORE SONGG

TRIPLE POST I THINK SORRY.

[dotty biscotti]

Will it be Violet Hill or 42?

[mountainloafers]

Im sorry I would have been clapping, dancing, singing.... I dont care if it would have hairlipped the world... But Im glad I got to see it anyway. And seeing Al get into it more than anyone else was worth it all.

Anywho, time for breakfast... Im hungry.

[chileandude1]

i knew it!!!!!!!!!

[The Mad Hatter]

42! YAY!

Chris's voice has gotten better, I noticed that on higher notes, he doesn't crack like he did before.

[notlost92]

SWEET, I found it on another channel... 42!!!

What did I miss? :\

[dotty biscotti]

42!

[The Mad Hatter]

Im sorry I would have been clapping, dancing, singing.... I dont care if it would have hairlipped the world... But Im glad I got to see it anyway. And seeing Al get into it more than anyone else was worth it all.


Yeah. I totally agree. I think that Al should be voted "Best Fan" in our awards.

[The Mad Hatter]

SWEET, I found it on another channel... 42!!!

What did I miss? :\


HAHA, woah, it's like the television is run by secret Coldplay fans.

Nothing, really.

[The Mad Hatter]

COME ON FANS!~!!!! CHRIS IS GOING INSANE AND SCREAMING!!!! GET INTO IT!!! THAT GUITAR IS AWESOME!!!! GEEZ

[dotty biscotti]

DID THEY SAY ONE MORE SONG?

[The Mad Hatter]

rofl, I was going to ask that, but I would've had a quadruple post.

[Cris_Santos]

Hello you all! Just arrived home!! King, thanks for that pic! I believe that is Angie's sign!!

Good to know that Mel changed her mind and went to the show :D

Can't wait to see it!

[notlost92]

HAHA, woah, it's like the television is run by secret Coldplay fans.

Nothing, really.

Yeah, I know! It was really weird, I was all psyched for the next song, and then Kelly was feeding Regis edamame! Good thing I found another channel...

I definitely think they were told to stay calm...

[The Mad Hatter]

Okay, I went back, and she did say one more, I think.

[notlost92]

Whoa, it's over?! Since when?

[dotty biscotti]

Nooo

[The Mad Hatter]

Yeah, I know! It was really weird, I was all psyched for the next song, and then Kelly was feeding Regis edamame! Good thing I found another channel...

I definitely think they were told to stay calm...


lol. Nothing better than a little edamame to start your morning.

Yeah, I'm sure they were, but that's kiiind of lame and makes Coldplay look bad.

I don't think she said one more song, now they're talking real estate...

[The Mad Hatter]

Okay, I'm checking again.

She kind of mumbles, I can't hear what she's saying... :bigcry:

"Unbelievably, we still mmoiu mmnbm..."

[Hotplay007]

hahahahaahaha! forlackofabettertitle... Al Roker! :dance: well, that was just awesome! i can't believe I have yet to sleep just to see that... MAN AM I TIRED! GOODNESS. My mind is just.... wow! I feel like dying!! :dance: :dance: :dance: :lol:

[Starlight]

LMAO when Anne gets Jonny and Guy's names wrong. :lol:

Chris's dancing is always as quirky and cute as ever...:nice: I thought they were only going to play three songs, so this is nice.

[notlost92]

lol. Nothing better than a little edamame to start your morning.

Yeah, I'm sure they were, but that's kiiind of lame and makes Coldplay look bad.

I don't think she said one more song, now they're talking real estate...

Mmm, especially when you're seeing it force-fed into Regis' mouth instead of Coldplay performing...

And I'm pretty sure most viewers weren't analyzing the crowd like we were, and Chris was energetic enough for everyone!

[The Mad Hatter]

Don't forget Al Roker. He was pretty energetic too. xDDD

OMG...who is this guy with the moustache? He's scary!!! T_T

He looks like he's wearing one of those masks with the glasses, nose, and moustache.

[The Mad Hatter]

OMG ONE MORE SONG!!!!

[chileandude1]

theyre coming back

[dotty biscotti]

THEY'RE DOING ANOTHER SONG IN A FEW!

[chileandude1]

violet hill or lovers

[notlost92]

GREAT, they're back but "later"?? I want to go back to sleep!

Why is it so difficult to be a Coldplay fan? :P It's a good thing it's so worth it...

[dotty biscotti]

5 songs? Thats so cool of them

[dotty biscotti]

Actually 6 songs...

[The Mad Hatter]

Yes, Coldplay make it hard on us. rofl.

I slept from 6 PM yesterday to 7 AM today, so I'm pretty much awake. lol.
