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

[Texasluvsjonny]

Did you notice that Phil and Jonny had on the same VIP badges as us except theirs had a green line drawn across it. We should have drawn a green line across ours and went back stage. :wink3:

Only v. briefly. He's cool, though. Plus, he looks like David Caruso. =P
Ahhh thanks for writing it..I knew he looked like someone I knew :lol:

[Texasluvsjonny]

Ahhh thanks for writing it..I knew he looked like someone I knew :lol:Chris introduced him in Houston once and said 'This is Hoppy who looks a bit like Brian Adams" :laugh3:

[winigwl]

angie your pics are rediculously amazing

[ColdplayJoe]

Hey everyone!

I got back into Binghamton last night around 7:30PM, so I haven't had much time to go through all of my pictures and upload them onto photobucket or rapidshare or anything. I will post my full length review of the Today Show concert (I was standing behind JBella and Jasmyne, and right next to Sean) before the end of the weekend.

Ian, thanks again for the VIP passes! The show was absolutely incredible. It seemed like such an intimate environment even though it was the largest show in the Today Show's Summer Concert Series history!

It was nice meeting most of you from the forums both before and after the end of the concert! I can't wait to post all of my pictures (I caught a great shot of Chris slapping Jonny playfully across the face!) Angie, you can take care of pummeling Chris' ass for that one!

Be sure to look for my review and pictures soon!

Talk to you all soon!

[ColdplayJoe]

Does anyone know of an easy way so that I can share my photos right now?

[melanieau]

OMG - you got the Chris touching Jonny's face shot!:o

[ColdplayJoe]

OMG - you got the Chris touching Jonny's face shot!:o

Oh yes! Now the pummeling of Chris may begin!

[Texasluvsjonny]

angie your pics are rediculously amazingeveryone agreed my camera rules :laugh3:
OK my vids and pics are in my original story post with the link in my sig. :D
Christopher, don't you be hitting Jonny! :veryangry2: Unless you're "hittin' Jonny .....if you don't hit it I know I would. :sneaky:

[winigwl]

thats awesome that you were so close. i should've met up with all of you but i had to catch a bus:(

[melanieau]

Does this seem like the right setlist for the entire day?


Sound Check:*
Clocks (Take 1)
Clocks (Take 2)
Viva La Vida
Lost! (Take 1) (with "Low" ending)
Lost! (Take 2) (with "4 Minutes" ending)
Yellow

Warm Up:

Show:
Clocks
Lost!

That's COMPLETELY from memory, so I could be totally off. But does anyone remember?


*For some reason I feel like they rehearsed Viva La Vida before Lost! but they switched it in the show.

PS - Hey Masterkraig!

[Cris_Santos]

Masterkraig I saw you on tv!! Dancing and having a lot of fun :D

Great pics!!

I'm sorry but I couldn't resist to do this :devilish:

[winigwl]

dave viva la vida was before lost :wink:

[melanieau]

On the plane last night I was trying to write down what they had played and it wasn't until I listened to the album later on my headphones that I realized I had forgotten a song! When 42 came on through my headphones I went :idea2:! I had totally forgotten about 42! My brain clearly isn't meant to function on no sleep and ALL adrenaline!

[Mimixxx]

How long after the show was it before you went home? You must be exhausted :stunned:

[Shawndorman]

(I posted this in the Live section too, but I figured some people might not check there, so...here is my post..again...for everyone's viewing pleasure!!)

http://www.facebook.com/album.php?ai...12&id=68103042

I just posted all my pics on facebook!! I didn't have a GREAT camera, but some of them are pretty sexy.They get really blurry near the end...but it's impossible for the band (or me for that matter) to stand still during this amazing music. ALSO, I posted all the videos I took on my facebook as well. Hopefully you can access them. If not, feel free to add me as a friend!

The videos include:

-'Clocks' warm up.
-'Yellow' acoustic warm up.
-'In My Place' including Chris bringing the boy with the broken arm on stage, the boys noticing the 'We Will Be on a Strawberry Swing' poster, and Chris sticking out his tongue at the paparazzi.
-'Viva La Vida' minus the very beginning when Chris messes up...but you can see that on the Today Show's website!
-'Lost!' unfortunately this is just the first half...I'm still kicking myself for not at least getting Jonny's solo

[musicman1990]

dave viva la vida was before lost :wink:

In the actual show or the soundcheck, or both? Haha. My memory is SHOT, I guess.

:laugh3:

why bitch???

[melanieau]

^^bitch because at the last minute these other VIP's got rushed in - in front of all of us who had been standing there. She was blocking the views of some kids and when asked to move over a bit she said NO....not too nice.



How long after the show was it before you went home? You must be exhausted :stunned:

Well the show was over by 9:15 and then flight wasn't until 4:55pm!!

Noelia, Lori, and I went to lunch in Times Square. Then Lori and I went up to the top of 30 Rockefeller to the observation deck. Then we took a car service to the airport. I guess I finally got about 7 hours of sleep last night. I am still so exhausted. I wish I could go to bed right now!:D

[Mimixxx]

Wow, hardcore :D

Why can't you go to bed? 5.30 isn't that early :uhoh:

[melanieau]

Wow, hardcore :D

Why can't you go to bed? 5.30 isn't that early :uhoh:

:laugh3::laugh3::laugh3:

If I could get my kid to go to bed now, I would go to sleep now too - no lie!


You know, it was really strange flying into a place and realizing that I didn't have a place to lay my head down that night. Of course, it didn't matter. If I had actually gotten a hotel I wouldn't have been able to sleep anyway! I was WAY too pumped!:smug:

You couldn't be scared about having nowhere to sleep in New York anyway :nice: Eveything is open all the time. :P Least you managed to meet up with people you knew :nice:

Things worked out so perfectly...it was Coldplay fate...and you are right when you said it earlier...my Coldplay karma finally kicked in!

:cool:

[Mimixxx]

:D

*waits for her Coldplay karma to kick in*

Although I did get my name read out by them, but I'm greedy :embarassed:

[gise_honey]

hhmmm... stupid blond

sure...

she wasn't Coldplay fan

[melanieau]

hhmmm... stupid blond

sure...

she wasn't Coldplay fan

no, she was not a Coldplay fan...or if she was, she was a really bad one because she didn't dance and she didn't know any of the words to any of the songs:dozey:

[Cris_Santos]

Bitch because she arrived late and stayed in front of our friends who've been there for a looooong time. Bitch because she refused to move a bit and made the kids cry. Bitch because she blocked my view while I was trying to find people from coldplaying on the videos. Bitch because she tryed to look like Gwyneth. Bitch because she was in the front and didn't sing a single line.

[gise_honey]

Bitch because she tryed to look like Gwyneth.


that is true!!!


maybe she thought that Chris was going to confuse with his wife :laugh3:

PS - Hey Masterkraig!

I think that sounds about right! I was sad to see In My Place didn't get entirely televised, the crowd went nuts for that. Remember Chris had us practice holding that note? haha

Heya Dave!

[masterkraig]

Masterkraig I saw you on tv!! Dancing and having a lot of fun :D

http://img440.imageshack.us/img440/4377/42186799ba4.jpg

I had an amazing time, EASILY the best day of my life! And I was suprised to see how much air-time they gave me, let alone all of the coldplayingers around :D

Not sure if I said before, but during 42 they actually zoomed out from my face and you can see Eric to my right.

THAT BLONDE and the rest of the super-VIPs were a pain cause we went from 2nd row to 4th -_-

AND we had (and watch the footage again, it's hilarious) two of the most emotionless viewers in front of us. Both big enough to ruin views and not excited to be there. One was bald and the other wore a black hat. There's a shot where it zooms out from a smirking bald guy to reveal a girl having a wonderful time behind him (CCSG). Those dude weren't worthy but wouldn't budge.

Coldplay Karma hit them HARD when the two extra rows came in and his little kids couldn't see SHIT.

MUGHAHAHAHAHSHAHSHAHA

Yesterday was the shit.

Masterkraig, did you have the homemade tye-dye shirt by any chance? If so, right next to you--thought you said you were from Coldplaying. I had a blue Viva La Vida shirt on from MSG. We made it like all over TV.

Oh, and musicman, I think they played VLV before Lost! on the show. Otherwise, I'm pretty sure you have that setlist perfect.

[SqOne]

Thanks so much for the wonderful stories, pics. Did anyone taped the show? Can you upload an .avi file? Thanks. :)

[KissesBirds]

Christopher, don't you be hitting Jonny! :veryangry2: Unless you're "hittin' Jonny .....if you don't hit it I know I would. :sneaky:



I saw this, but if it is the same as what I saw, Chris was NOT hitting Jonny. Not by a long shot. I saw Chris very lightly caress the left side of Jonny's face with his right hand (it would be to our right side of Jonny's face to us looking at him). It was a loving touch, that I am sure of. If you saw Chris slap him, then that was something I must have missed.





And here is another video I made, of mostly Jonny during part of Clocks. You have to click on the picture. Watch for Jonny's little foot kick to get the cable out of the way right before the end.

Great video Lori!!!

Have you seen Angie's vids?? AWESOME!;)

[LiivinLaVida]

I see i wasn't the only one who had a bitch nearby them. I mean I was one of the people who got pushed into the pen, some blond was standing beside me she was just gossiping about work the whole time, and starting bitching about me accidentally touching her. I mean it wasn't my fault there were over 100 people in that pen moving all around. She said mean things the whole time but I didnt let it get to me; chris and his shirt had my attention the whole time.

[polkahard]

Here's a video of the Clocks soundcheck (first of four actual Clocks performances!) that I FINALLY got uploaded for you fine people after Youtube refused to cooperate last night:

Oh, I just saw them. They are too good. On the second In My Place, did you see Jonny after Chris ran to the back of the audience behind us? Guy was playing with Jonny and couldn't care less about watching Chris, but Jonny must have looked back at Chris about 5 or 6 times! He couldn't keep his eyes away! Ah, the love was strong yesterday.:kiss:

Thanks for that. I love the part at around 2:15. Even Guy was laughing at that.

[jbarry5503]

Sorry it's taken so long to get the videos of the soundcheck posted. I have about 50 minutes of video all together with most of it being from the soundcheck. I tried very hard not to tape during the actual show performance because I knew I was recording the show at home and I really wanted to just experience the moment.

I like others feel so lucky to have been so close to the band. It's not often that a group of diehard fans gets the opportunity to listen and watch a 45 minute soundcheck up close and be allowed to record the event on video. I know others have given excellent minute by minute accounts of the morning but I just want to mention a couple of personal highlights.
- Chris telling the paps that he realizes that they don't have the best relationship but that he was glad they were there (paraphrasing)
- The ability to see them close enough to see their facial expressions
- Chris looked so young clean shaven
- Getting to see Phil the 5th member
- Enjoying watching all of the coldplaying.com members having the time of their lives
Thanks again Ian... your gift meant the world!!!

nice videos haha i loved that performance, chris looked like he was having a blast!

[LiquidSky]

Okay guys...... my day is finally over and yes I am finally home. Thank God!:rolleyes: My experience was a little crazy. I woke up early morning on Thursday and had to go to work. I left on Thursday night which btw my flight was delayed and ended up getting to NYC early morning of Friday instead. First of all, I had never been to NYC in my whole entire life.. and let me tell you, New York is......... very New York. First thing I saw was cracking me up hysterically that I wanted to take a picture but it was too close that I thought that I might get in trouble. There was this guy like bending down and pulling something from the floor (It just looked really funny) he was taking and struggling taking out the trash. Anyway, I wanted to get an idea and locate myself on to where I was. I ended up in Times Square before I realized that I was being followed by some creepy guys. There were people around but not that many and most of the places were already close. I got scared.. I was like "I am gonna get raped and mugged here and I'm not even gonna get to see Coldplay...this can't be happening. I gotta find a friendly place". The only place open at Times Square was some pizza place..there were people there so I went in there right away and had some slices of pizza (which is where I typed my message from). Rockefeller wasn't that far from Times Square so I ended up getting there around 3 something am. There was already a long line there. The guys in front of me also had their luggage with them (they had big & heavy luggage). They were really excited to be there as I was.. so I couldn't really sleep plus people kept on honking on purpose and everything. There was a girl making a huge poster. Her poster was so pretty btw. I didn't really had anything but a red marker which I was going to use for Coldplay to sign my album cover:rolleyes: (I lost the marker at the Apple store hours later) and napkins... from the airplane. I was going to make my sign on a napkin (how ghetto) :lol: but I ended up using one of the emails prints. My sign read "I :heart: JB + Coldplaying" I don't know if anyone got to see it and on top of another poster that said "Viva La Coldplay" from Sirus radio.. The line started moving by 5am or so. I was so tired by then..when I was waiting in line I was feeling so weak & sleepy that I couldn't really stand at all plus I needed to go to the restroom really bad. I was almost wetting myself there waiting. I got messed up with the general section. The guy there was like "Yeah, just go in there. It's fine" but it wasn't the VIP section so I asked around and was going crazy because I knew I wasn't on the right spot. I wanted to be with the rest of the Coldplaying members and wanted to be in the VIP section & be up close to Coldplay!! Some guy told me to go to the other side and ask there...then I saw a guy with a white shirt and we were in the right spot but I don't know. I wasn't even paying attention to him as I was already freaking out about not being in the right place at all & time was passing by. This is what he did, he scratched us off the list then he gave us the VIP passes then he took the VIP passes from us. He asked us if we needed to go to the restroom (I thought he was going to tell me where the restrooms were INSIDE the NBC Studios). He then says "Okay, you need to go to the restroom because once you are in you can't get out. Deli is probably your best bet." Okay, by that time... I needed to go the restroom REALLY BAD. I was hungry again and I was sweating like a pig and all stinky as I still hadn't gone to the hotel 'cause there was no time. I was freaking out because he scratched us off from the list and took the vip passes. I went to the Deli & the damn guy there tells me "We don't have restrooms here" I wasn't going to argue with people there.. so I'm running around like a mad woman trying to find a restroom. A lot of the places near there were still close.. so I took a left and saw a Mcdonalds! There was ONE RESTROOM THERE and guess what? It was BLOODY OCCUPIED!!! I was pounding at the door and yelling "I need to use the restroom, please!" when inside my mind I was really saying "B***! Get out already! I *** need to pee!" I then realized that I probably shouldn't have been pounding at the door as to whoever was inside were only taking slightly just slightly longer then expected. Then a little boy lets me know that there was also restrooms upstairs.. so I rushed upstairs.. the toilet was disgusting (someone had left a uhhh view let's say) but hey.. I had to use it so I flushed it and used it.. washed my hands. I almost killed myself from running down the stairs. I was about maybe half of block from the NBC studios. I was like " I DON'T CARE IF IT'S GREEN, PEDESTRIANS FIRST, B****!!!!! WAIT YOUR F*** TURN":angry: By this time, when I was running back to the nbc studios an amount of time had already passed and I was freaking out because not only did I take long, the guy had scratched us off the list.. I didn't know if he was still going to be outside waiting for me you know? Did I mention that I was sweaty and smelly and just looked horrible in general? So I'm trying to find the guy outside the nbc studio and there were a bunch of people outside. I didn't even hear what they were saying 'cause I'm trying to find the guy right. He comes out from the nbc entrance and sees me (ours eyes just meet. I thought he had already forgotten me 'cause a lot of time had passed by and there were just so many people to just remember one person you know) and says "Oh! Hey!" and was really looking at me. He was REALLY LOOKING AT ME. He then says "You just missed them" I don't know but at the time, it just didn't registered through my mind. I should have ran into the doors and catch them you know but I don't know what happened. I got lost in his eyes.. that guy WAS SOOOOOOO HOT! MAN! HE WAS HANDSOME! :wideeyed: So cute! Anyway, he calls another girl and asks her to escort me and she's like "Sure, right this way balblabla" He gave me my VIP pass. I don't think I even said Thank You. She was asking me if I had seen the band and also said that they had just walked in a couple of seconds ago. I did not know what way they went. This is getting long next part coming up.

and btw - sucks about just missing coldplay. what an experience of NYC for your first time :) I cursed out the cross-town bus driver at 5AM so thats not so bad. Wasnt his fault another bus broke down and I was racing down 50th trying not to crash into people. oh how i love new york!

[LiquidSky]

So she took me outside and escorted me to the 'VIP Section' It was already full!!! I could barely see the stage as I am short as hell! :rolleyes: Will came out first, then Jonny :D :D :D and then Guy and to those who want to know. Yes, Guy is really really handsome up close. Did you see him smile? Wow it's all I gotta say. He was to the right though so I couldn't really see him throughout the show. I could barely see Will and Jonny. The people behind me were bitching too. They were like "We can't see because of your poster and blabalbla" I felt bad at first but I couldn't see either. I was like "Well you know what? Too bad, 'cause I can't see either and if I can't see them then I am at least going to enjoy the music and raise that poster up" I took the big poster down and just kept the sheet I had made at 3 something am and hope he sees it. I don't know if he ever saw it though:rolleyes: I took a lot of pictures and was watching the show through my camera's lenses as I could raise it and see through it. I figured I couldn't see 'cause I was just wayyy wayy in the back and that the people behind me couldn't see 'cause we were just too far in the back. It wasn't until Chris came out and went to the front of the stage that I realized. Wait.. he's kinda close:thinking::o and got all excited about it. The show was confusing at times 'cause we couldn't hear anything and they wouldn't tell us whenever it was live. Chris only told us it was live one time. They rehearsed Clocks like 4 times. There was a girl in front of me to the left. She collapsed! The guy she was with walked her out and she fainted. The people there took her inside the nbc studios and she came out in a bed where the ambulance took her. I felt bad for her (the band came out right after they had taken her) but I started worrying about myself as well 'cause I was feeling dizzy too and weak. I hadn't had any sleep for such long period of time. I've been sick with a throat infection so that wasn't helping at all and I couldn't scream too much 'cause my throat was just hurting really bad. I drank a bottle of water and a bar of chocolate so that helped a lot. I was like "I did not come here to faint in the middle of the show!!!:angry: No, No, No, No!" The crowd was singing along to In My Place, Viva La Vida, Lost! was amazing! 42? OH MY GOD! I'm still pumped up about it. This was my second time seeing Coldplay Live and this was the closest I had ever been. I can't wait to see them live again. There were two teenage girls. They were the ones that threw the bra and panties. I saw something fly across and Chris catching it and then dropping it instantly with such disgust. It was hilarious! Chris reaction was priceless!:lol: I couldn't stop laughing. After the show was over.. we were quickly rushed to get out. I waited outside the nbc studio to wait for the band. One of the TMZ guys was there with a camera. I was like "Oh hell no, he's going to ruin my autograph experience" so I chi-chatted with him and we talk about how it was wrong of his friend to provoke Chris and how Chris was wrong to push his friend to on-coming traffic. Remember that clip where Chris takes the camera from a guy when Gwyn and him were coming out from the hospital earlier this year? His friend got 35G from that incident... that's a lot of money. He was surprisingly very nice and we spent a few hours on a Coldplay hunt. What? :shifty: You can't judge.. I was trying to meet Jonny!:embarassed: You would have done the same thing!:P I got all excited 'cause their vehicle showed up and the police stopped traffic but there were just too many people outside waiting and not enough security. So the vehicle ended up leaving and they left underground. :rolleyes: :dozey: There was another lady there that just really made my day. She said "This is really your first time to New York? and you just came for Coldplay? You are a real fan. I hope you get an autograph." She joined us on the Coldplay hunt. It was fun but we never found them. We were walking by foot. You guys want the 3rd part?:lol::P I should get some rest now. I'll upload my pictures and vids tomorrow. :D Thanks again, Ian! :nice:

[Denise]

Jo your story is awesome, but I was really scared for you reading the first part, luckily everything worked out right :nice:

[busybeeburns]

you all sound like you had great views and an even better time! :D

[polkahard]

All thanks to you, Ian! :thumbsup:

[Jenjie]

doesn't know 500 words!! :rolleyes: and this is just the lead-up, no actual today show lol :P :kiss:

OK I'll start at the beginning.
I was at work Thursday night and was reading through this thread looking for someone that wanted to go but didn't win. I had asked Mary, but she could go, so I wanted to make sure the pass got used. Lori (KissesBirds) had posted she wanted to go, so I sent her a PM and told her to call me if she still wanted to go. She called me just as I was leaving work for the airport and said hells yes! and she would sort out a flight and get back to me. I got to NYC around 3:30 and during my cab ride into town, I get a text saying she will be there that night and that Mel is also coming. :stunned: By the time I got to the hotel, I had been awake for around 37 hours, but had to go check out the area before I could even think about sleeping. My hotel is a block from the Plaza, so I walk over and right in front of the GE building they are building the huge wooden thing that is like 20 feet tall. I start to panic thinking this is the stage, but that god it's not. I start asking around about where we have to sign in and how early can we do that, but no one there can answer shit. :dozey: I walk around until I find the address listed on the email so I know exactly where we need to be in the morning and then go back to my hotel to get some rest because I'm about to fall over. Mel calls me and says she managed to find a way to go and after giving away her winning passes (LIKE A DUMB ASS!) has begged and pleaded all day and some nice person has taken sympathy upon her and she will be their +1. Her flight gets in around 11:30 and she'll call me when she gets into town. I try and sleep, then the rerun of the Daily Show comes on and I'm too excited. Finally get some sleep.

Mel calls me and says they are both down at 30 Rock and I go down there to meet them. Coldplay's truck with all their equipment had just pulled up. There are already people in the general admission line and we walk around. Mel had been grilling security peeps to get info about the VIP area, number of people it held, etc. Some security guy tells her that the VIP area will hold around 400 people and that they will put all the pass holders in first, then any GA people it takes to fill it. 400! :freak: must be down there early!. We go chill at my room for a while, then Mel starts getting twitchie so we head back.

We see a few other people hanging around by where we have to line up and so we join them. It was jbarry5503 and her guest. That was around 3:30am. The security guy comes out and tells us we are there WAY too early and that we should find some food and a bathroom because once you are in the pit, if you leave you can't go back. There is a 24 hour Deli across the street, so food is there, but Micky D's a block away is the closest toilet. People start to trickle in. Mel is a nervous wreck. :laugh3: Someone strums a guitar cord, she runs down to the corner where the stage is being set up to see what's happening. 5 minutes later, a drum beat....there goes Mel. :P It's 4 am Mel...Will is not down there setting up his own drums! :lol: Security man comes back out and gives us the whole make sure you go potty before we go in speech again :dozey: and then tell us important info. This is the door where guests and TV people enter! He asks us to please stay back and don't rush at anyone and if they come over to see us, then that's OK. OMG! The band will be going in right there! Now we all excited and we get shit out to get stuff signed. Mel and Lori practice their "thrust CD cover at band with one hand, while taking picture with other hand' moves. :lol:
Where we line up is an entry way about 15 feet wide. We are on one side and I notice on the other side is a "couple" consisting of a man and a tranny. The tranny is talking about how it wants to meet the band. I think about Chris getting flashed by the trannies while making Fix You and we all laugh about Chris being a tranny magnet. Then some paps show up. :dozey: Great, Chris will shoot right past us to get away from these jerks. :cry: Everyone tries to think of something semi intelligent to say in case they do show up but Lori decides she will just scream. NO Jonny is afraid of screaming...Jonny no like screamie! :angry: :P Security man comes back and puts a barricade up to keep tranny and paps back but we are not blocked. :D Every car that arrives, we all jump up. Mel is freaking because too many people have "fluffy hair" thru the tinting windows and she thinks it Chris every time. :lol:

Matt, Jonny's guitar tech, walks past us to go over to the deli. When he comes out I go and ask him if the band will have a sound check. He says yes around 6:30 and we will be able to hear it from where we are. :D But at 6, the NBC people come out and start taking people into the VIP area, so we miss any arrivals, but we will get to see the sound check and not just hear. :dance:

Although we were first in line, there are people in the pit when we get there. We are basically on the second row, but in front of me are 3 little girls aged 6, 8 and 12. Yah people that I can see over. Will is first to get there. Then Jonny and Guy come out together. Chris is last. There is lots of technical discussion, instrument placement upon the stage discussions and what not. Chris is very funny and loose. Jonny doesn't look so happy to be up at this hour of the day. :P Guy is taking pictures of us, taking pictures of him. :wink3: Then Mel spots him first. PHIL! OMG he is hot! :stunned: They run thur songs, then discuss stuff, then move stuff around....but it's the best part of the whole day. I don't know about any one else, but the sound check was wayyyyyyyy better than the real show.

Just before the real show starts, security peeps come out and start talking about moving the barricades. We aren't sure if they are moving us back :angry:, or closer :D? This is not done but the reason why is because they bring in a whole group of people to stand in front of the VIP area inside where the stage is. IN FRONT OF US! :veryangry: They are "family" of the producers. They have several kids, including the one that Chris brings up on stage) and adults. The adults come stage at the center, blocking the 3 little girls in front of me and the kids are next to them on each side. Some lady asks the women if they will move and allow the kids to stand in the center so the little girls can see and the bitch tells her NO!. What a ****. The little girls are crying because now they can't see. Rich douche bags suck!

When you are there you can't hear what is going on in the broadcast. When they came on stage to interview the band they placed a monitor near us so I could see to move my sign to make sure it got seen. :D After the show, Chelsea come over and met us and we were going to take a group pic, but the NBC dude ran us off. :angry:

Here is the link to my pics and my partial video of Lost. I still have to up load my longer videos because they are over 100MB and won't fit on that site.

Here's a video of the Clocks soundcheck (first of four actual Clocks performances!) that I FINALLY got uploaded for you fine people after Youtube refused to cooperate last night:

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=L59UScFpVHY

I love that even with chris messing around, Will knew the exact moment to kick the drums back in

[Christa42]

I had an amazing time, EASILY the best day of my life! And I was suprised to see how much air-time they gave me, let alone all of the coldplayingers around :D

Not sure if I said before, but during 42 they actually zoomed out from my face and you can see Eric to my right.

THAT BLONDE and the rest of the super-VIPs were a pain cause we went from 2nd row to 4th -_-

AND we had (and watch the footage again, it's hilarious) two of the most emotionless viewers in front of us. Both big enough to ruin views and not excited to be there. One was bald and the other wore a black hat. There's a shot where it zooms out from a smirking bald guy to reveal a girl having a wonderful time behind him (CCSG). Those dude weren't worthy but wouldn't
budge.


Coldplay Karma hit them HARD when the two extra rows came in and his little kids couldn't see SHIT.

MUGHAHAHAHAHSHAHSHAHA

Yesterday was the shit.

See my previous post where i bitch and rant about the humungous giant zombie non fans who did not move and ruined the view for the short coldplayers. it made me furious

[Texasluvsjonny]

I went to work last night and everyone asked me "Who's Ian?".... they all saw my sign. :P

[busybeeburns]

who is he? :thinking:

[BoredTerry]

OK I'll start at the beginning.
We are on one side and I notice on the other side is a "couple" consisting of a man and a tranny. The tranny is talking about how it wants to meet the band. I think about Chris getting flashed by the trannies while making Fix You and we all laugh about Chris being a tranny magnet.

Is this Chris to the trannies? http://www.flickr.com/photos/10210730@N05/2621186555/

[musicman1990]

Me and my friend got there shorty before 6, and landed spots about 6-7 "rows" back. AWESOME seats to say the VERY least. The atmosphere was so exciting. I met a few of you on here before the show...all extrememly nice!

It was so exciting when Will got up on the stage. A few people took notice and went nuts; he certainly did not make a grand entrance. But as it caught on that Will (or to some not-so-intense fans "the drummer") was on stage, the noise started to elevate. I was going nuts. After a short while Johnny and Guy came on and I was in a massive state of excitement that I can't even begin to explain. So I won't. They were RIGHT there. Probably 20 feet from me. They all seemed to be in a daze, but it was more of an overwhelming state of disbelief. Thousands of fans showed up virtually at dawn (or before) to see them. Guy got out his camera and started snapping shots of the crowd (and of course I tried to get into every picture). Then it came...Chris walked out. The audience went NUTS. He seemed to not believe the size of the crowd. He took care of his official business (talking to his bandmates and other guys with headsets) and then picked up the mic. He just kind of announced that they were gonna do a soundcheck and that they'd probably sound like "shit." He had everyone laughing and having a good time before they even played one note. So they were all kind of standing around waiting to go, and they were UNBELIEVABLY close to me. It was surreal. I remember Chris was just standing there waiting to go and was kinda looking in my direction, so I started to wave. And...Oh my sweet Jesus, Chris looked directly at me, make eye contact and tipped his hat AT ME. I FREAKED OUT. Best moment of my life.

Now, I had predicted to my friend that they'd play 3 songs (Viva La Vida, Violet Hill, and Lovers In Japan...with Lost! as a 4th). He sat down at the piano and immediately I was like "shit...I guess I was wrong!" He started Clocks, much to everyone's approval. Yeah the song's 7 years old now, but it's a classic and a KILLER live track. Chris of course changed up his lyrics to describe the early morning and everyone loved it. I remember at some point Chris yelled "Johnny, look" and pointed all the way to the back where there were some people standing on top of a building watching them. They ran through that twice, because it seemed they were trying to get the length right. Each time they did it was different, cutting this part or adding that part back in.

Then they took a little while to reset the stage, obviously for Viva. I was SO excited to finally hear a new song live in person. And something about the anticipation of an audience's reaction to a song when it first starts always gets me going. They did the song and it was great. As usual. Chris made us sing the "Woah-oh-oh" part! They pretty much went right into Lost! and did that twice. First time he ended with a bit of "Low" (by Flo Rida), and the second he ended with a bit of "4 Minutes" (by Madonna and JT). I pretty much thought they'd be done by now (I was still pulling for Violet Hill, though!), and they started re-setting up. They all grabbed completely different instruments. Johnny had some maracas, and Guy and Will both had guitars. So I figured it'd be Yellow. I was right. Chris seemed to have some trouble getting through it, although the audience seemed to like. Chris announced that it was "shit" and I figured that they'd cut it.

So they left the stage, much to everyone's dissapointment. There was a long lull in there. However, the anchors (Al, Meredeth, and Ann) came out and they were unbelievably nice. I even got a picture with Meredeth. But I was getting a bit antsy. But they finally came back out.

They took the stage in their revolutionary outfits and immediately went into In My Place. I thought it was just an added performance for us at the time. It was so exciting. Then they did Clocks again, and I thought it was the actual show. Chris kept messing up and talking to the guys working on the show etc, so I kinda hoped that it wasn't being taped. Haha.

Then, basically, they did the show. Chris ran right passed me during In My Place (again...he always does that, it seems!). And after they were done, I was SO excited that they did 42 as an "added performace." It was UNBELIEVABLE. Best live song of the whole set.


Overall, best day of my life. And looking back on my DVR...i was all over TV! They did a close up of me at the end of Viva, too!


Thanks so much for the opportunity!





Dave

[King Payam]

who is he? :thinking:

He's the super secret sixth member of the band. Not so much of a secret anymore.

[masterkraig]

See my previous post where i bitch and rant about the humungous giant zombie non fans who did not move and ruined the view for the short coldplayers. it made me furious

LMAO I know EXACTLY how you feel!

Check back to this post in about 15 minutes for my Today Show pictures! Thanks again Ian!

I will add my review of the concert within the first part of the upcoming week!

[masterkraig]

Masterkraig, did you have the homemade tye-dye shirt by any chance? If so, right next to you--thought you said you were from Coldplaying. I had a blue Viva La Vida shirt on from MSG. We made it like all over TV.

It looks tye-dye but it's a white shirt I painted with fabric paint and it came out better than I expected! You were right next to me! We got so much airtime :D

The morning after, I woke up really tired, then a wave of upset hit me. Then I saw my shirt I was reassured it wasn't a dream! :D

Thanks again Ian :D

[fudge]

Jo your story is awesome, but I was really scared for you reading the first part, luckily everything worked out right :nice:

I had fun. I was almost passing out but it was worth it:D I still can't believe how close I was..the place was insane!

[SwallowedInSea]

Thanks again Ian :D

I saw you as well! After the show when we were waiting in the barricades on the sidewalk waiting in hope that Coldplay would come out that door... I was right up in the front of the barricades across from you, talking with StephBerryman. :D I remember admiring your t-shirt. :)

[Cris_Santos]

I love that even with chris messing around, Will knew the exact moment to kick the drums back in

Exactly! It seemed that Will wasn't even paying attention to what Chris was doing and then, suddenly he came back in precisely right time!

[SwallowedInSea]

[victoriacp33]

as far as i know Today show is something which's free and is on a first come first served basis.

am i right?

yeah its free....
im also going to IZOD CONCERT TOO ON BOTH DAYS BUT I dont live in Nj.. lucky you i have tooo take the bus..... i live in the nyc :dozey::)

[Vivalacoldplay]

Well first of all I wanted to share a bit of one of the greatest days of my life :heart:

Ok, on thursday 26th my cousin, my sister and me Went out to a concert/party of DJ Tiesto (Which was great) and by 3 am in the morning we headed to the NBC studios in NY City. When we got there, we saw a really longgggggggg line of fans they were camping for Coldplay since early thursday. So we got on line and waited like 5 hours to enter to the place they were going to perform. By 7 am or so Coldplay arrived and started rehearsing all the songs and they did like 3 times each I couldn't believe it.:cool: I was singing over and over again lol the same songs but it was amazing after that they went backstage to get ready and my cousin and sister decided it was enough for them because they were very "tired" as we had been partying and the waiting had made them a bit cranky :lol: so they left and I waited there and then coldplay re appeared to sing Clocks, lost, VIVA LA VIDA, 42, In my place and although they had rehearsed Yellow they didn't sing it on the actual show.At the end of the show I went to the stage to take pictures and one of the guys that works with coldplay gave to some girls the "nail" or the guitar "lick" that the band used for that performance; I was like WOW I want something so I asked him for the SETLIST that was behind their guitars and he kindly gave it to me:cool::heart: to my surprise it wasn't the setlist for Good morning america but for The exclusive concert they gave for free in Madison Square Garden. :cool: I was very happy it's got like notes all over and I don't know whose handwriting is it but I am sure it's something a coldplay fan like me appreaciates VERY MUCH :heart::cool:



btw I am new so if this is not the right area to post please forgive me in advance. ;) I just wanted to share with you my experience!

[lndnsky]

I already saw this, on another forum (buzz)... And posted a comment...

[iPsy]

coool! You lucky bleeper!

[ApproximatelyInfinite]

i can't really upload my videos to youtube for some reason, so slowly but surely, they'll be up on facebook! i think everyone will be able to see that if i link to it...

right now i'm putting up the first take of "in my place," the one where chris stopped the song in order to talk to the little boy with the broken arm. i'll post the link once it's up!

[ColdplayJoe]

I KNEW that was him! Nice catch!

Aww thanks SwallowedInSea and nice to meet ya ;D

Haha, that was primarily luck on my part! I was trying to get a good shot of Chris and Guy smiling and did not even notice Roadie 42 in the background!

[melanieau]

Seeing all the videos of the first shows I was so concerned about Terry Vision and that it was somehow going to ruin the live performances...but after seeing them perform live with it I have to say I didn't even notice it during the show...


...of course, it may have had something to do with being only feet away from the boys:D

[Texasluvsjonny]

Mel they could have had preforming bears on stage and we wouldn't have noticed. :P


Especially when Christopher semi touches himself while singing :stunned:

Chris Bra-tin



THAT bra doesn’t look like it belongs to GWYNETH PALTROW?

But CHRIS MARTIN took a good, long look – and maybe a cheeky sniff – after a fan tossed it at him from a crowd, just to make sure.

COLDPLAY were mid-song on NBC’s The Today Show in New York yesterday when Chris found the over-the-shoulder-boulder-holder clamped to his face.

And with his biblical lyrics, I bet he thought the brassiere had rained down from heaven. God Putting A Smile on his face and all that jazz.

But I don’t think I would have marvelled at it for long by the look of it. I bet the girl who lobbed it didn’t have matching undercrackers on.

And it seems to have done something odd to Chris too...

Chris Bra-tin



THAT bra doesn’t look like it belongs to GWYNETH PALTROW?

But CHRIS MARTIN took a good, long look – and maybe a cheeky sniff – after a fan tossed it at him from a crowd, just to make sure.

COLDPLAY were mid-song on NBC’s The Today Show in New York yesterday when Chris found the over-the-shoulder-boulder-holder clamped to his face.

And with his biblical lyrics, I bet he thought the brassiere had rained down from heaven. God Putting A Smile on his face and all that jazz.

But I don’t think I would have marvelled at it for long by the look of it. I bet the girl who lobbed it didn’t have matching undercrackers on.

And it seems to have done something odd to Chris too...

hahahaahaha yeah that was really funny xD

[CRYSTAL]

i think that this Sun newspaper quotes everything just too much!

i saw the entire thing when i was there at the show and Chris seemed like he hasn't cared it that much.

And there's nothing to make so much news about it.

Its just so funny.

if i throw my bra at him i think he even don't mind it.

if Sun really wants to make news of this then why don't they ask Chris whether that bra is still there with him?

Yeah he didn't care , I just saw he giggled and kept doing his thing. It's not a big deal at all.

[fudge]

If I threw my bra at him it'd prob knock him out... lol

I just got an email from a girl I met at a Coldplay show in Dallas in 2005 saying she had taped the Today show and saw me in the crowd and had to send me a hello. Dug through her email account and still had my address. I feel famous :laugh3:

Haha ! the panties one :laugh3:

[melanieau]

The look on his face really was priceless! Pretty sure he thought he had caught another bra and then when he realized what it was his eyes went wide and his hand just opened...you can see him rubbing his hand on his shirt...like he was trying to wipe the panty germs off!:laugh3:

[ColdplayJoe]

Was it just me, or does anyone else remember Chris calling the broken-arm kid's brother an ass hole right to the kid's face? The quote went something like this "He hit you with a stick?! What an ass hole!" I was laughing hysterically considering that Chris was right in front of Bella, Jasmyne, and I when he said it.

Does anyone have a clip of that?

EDIT: I completely freaked out thinking that Chris ended up calling the kid's brother an "ass hole" during the live taping!

that's right whatever he did.

and i appreciate him for doing it.

That's why and that is the only reason in this world that i liked Chris till today.

And will also like him if he is like that always.

i don't care any other who disagree with me at this point.

Those videos are fantastic!
Thanks for posting them. :)

[xneverwherex]

loved the videos :) Just talked to my mom who recorded the show for me as she was looking for me. but the comment that i just loved was 'i forgot how much i loved coldplay. i knew most the songs.' LOL. I pretty much said WTF! I dont even know how she knew some of the songs but i was impressed she still remembered 'clocks' and 'in my place'. lord knows how much i used to play the hell out of them when i still lived in california. i guess all my favorite bands rubbed off on her.

i only wish i was taking her to see coldplay somewhere but unfortunately she wont be on the east coast when im seeing them. maybe some tickets in san jose would be awesome :)

i must say it so made my night. well seeing morgan freeman and frances mcdormand on the stage blew my mind away so that just was icing on the cake.

and if anyone is in new york city - if you have a chance check out 'the country girl'. fabulous play and they are amazing to watch. frances mcdormand is true genius!

[crazyduckette]

I am pretty sure he called him a bastard as well

lol no again!!


I think he just asked 'why'd you do that, man??' about 2x..... i don't recall him cursing... lol hopefully there's good audio and video to back that up... lol and yes, it was during the soundcheck version of In My Place.... right before they went on air... so they were dressed up in the VLV garb....
I actually have video of that... but I haven't uploaded it..... I'm not sure on the audio quality.... :\

I was suprised when I saw no one mentioned it on the forums, but he did indeed call the kid's brother an asshole jokingly... even though I was 2 rows behind the injured kid, I'll have to scrape through the videos, but I am positive that he said it :P

i think he was playing 42 the last song all the people at the back we're shouting one more song before they leave us and before they played 42.
he just completed running from the back during in my place before 42.

this is during in my place he was dancing in between Guy and jonny

he was looking at us again.

i am saying it because when he went back to sing to the people at backstage

i noticed him looking at back and waving at us because i stood on a barrier there with today show signs from 2nd row.

[KissesBirds]

Jonny.. again :embarassed:

Oh, I'm sorry. Did my little hand stroking Jonny's face get in the way of your picture?:sneaky: Tough! I was making my own! Bwahahahahahahaaaa!:P




But seriously, that is my hand. The one covering his eye. Sorry.

this is the same picture that Jo posted i took it while Chris is looking straight at me.:heart:

Link Removed

this is my other picture while he is looking at us.i think after he finished playing Lost he is saying "welcome, thankyou very much everybody okay!"


forgot to mention while singing 42 at the last Chris saw me while singing
at the mic and he slightly smiled and turned the attention while i was standing on the today show barrier and trying to sing along with him

"you thought you might be a ghost,you didn't get to heaven but you made it close"

and waving at him from there at the back in front to him.

[Christa42]

Finally, here are my only two good vids (Lost and 42, Yeah!!)on youtube.com all the others had me jumping around too much. Hate the zombie non fans blocking the view. if they don't come up right away i will fix it. this is my first time posting vids and you know i suck at the computer. click on the "high quality" button to see better

All the pictures I posted are mine. I took them with my camera. Are you the one with the green camera? :huh:

[CRYSTAL]

did i say that they are not yours.

what i am saying is i took the same photos as you did.

what ever i say why it is so misunderstood?

i am not the one with green camera.Mine is black its canon 100 SX IS model.

And also i don't stand near to you at all.

i was there at some what back but front to the stage where they're playing.

[ApproximatelyInfinite]

OK, guys, i'm FINALLY starting to get my videos up! i can really only put them on facebook since i've been wholly unsucessful with youtube, but i think these links will work in the same way.

anyway, sorry about the intense shakiness and instability of the videos, but there's occasionally a nice shot, and i mostly took them for the audio anyway, which i must say i'm impressed with. it's just that i have the shakiest hands in the world, it was 6:30 AM, i'd been up since 2, i hadn't eaten, and i was REALLY excited.

also, you can sometimes hear someone singing. i was singing, and occasionally you can hear me, but because i was behind the camera you can't hear me much. this singing is from a girl that was like right in front of me. just so you know :P

anyway, i'm putting them up gradually, so here are the first few if anybody wants them:

Lost! (take 3...got on air): http://www.facebook.com/video/video.php?v=1009546993962

42 (on air): http://www.facebook.com/video/video.php?v=1009546513950

yellow: http://www.facebook.com/video/video.php?v=1009545153916

in my place (take 1): http://www.facebook.com/video/video.php?v=1009546193942

[Christa42]

Oh, my god where were you? i think it was me. ahhahahahahahahh will have to doulbe check

[ApproximatelyInfinite]

:stunned:

check to see if that's where you were. if it's you...oh my god, i'm so sorry, and i'm going to edit that post now.

[Christa42]

don't you dare!! i think it is hysterical. i was the blonde in the white dress 3rd row. i have an excellent sense of humor and would be honored if i was on facebook, youtube etc

[ApproximatelyInfinite]

i was about 5th row, so it's possible, but maybe not. this girl was like a teenager, and i didn't mind her singing at the time, because i was doing the same, but when i heard it in the video...:laugh4:

and if it is in fact you, thanks for the sense of humor! :D but really, i should have FIGURED that it could possibly be a coldplayer before i went on about how terrible it sounded.

[Christa42]

I am def. not a teenager:rolleyes: so i think we are good:laugh3: i wish it was though. I was singing so loud and jumping around like an crazy person

[ApproximatelyInfinite]

if i had been a tad bit closer, had been alone without my brother and mom there, and it hadn't been so early, i would have been MUCH more maniacal than i was. but i was so focused on making memories for myself and recording audio/video for everyone else here that i didn't have time to really go too insane :P

[Chavi]

:confused: I can't see your vids...

[LiquidSky]

I can't see your videos either :( Maybe it was me :thinking: lol What did she looked like? Christa was close to me I believe

[Christa42]

Hi everybody, been away for a while. miss you all. oh to be back in the city. they have to play MSG again, but oh god was it great to see them in the daylight . ........just waking up and gorgeous, just feet away from them not like in the stadiums, but really right there. :rolleyes:

[melanieau]

i was just watching Lori's and Angie's vids.....damn...what a day!

[Christa42]

Mel, lori, Liquidsky and Ang, how lucky were we? i will never forget it ever. so sorry i did not meet you:rolleyes: Mel, youre sig is just sick!!! holy crap, let me know if any of you are going to jersey, mon night

[melanieau]

So lucky I actually have trouble believing I was there at all...but then I see my face on coldplay.com in one of the pics Miller took and I realize I was there...just feet away from the four most handsome and talented men on the planet.....

sigh

Tuesday can not get here fast enough....

[ApproximatelyInfinite]

awww, crap. i was wondering if the vids would work...maybe you have to be signed into facebook?

i would youtube them, but for some reason i can't. youtube hates me, i guess.

i'll work on it, though.

[LiquidSky]

Hey, what was the name of the guy who gave us the vip passes? I would have met you guys if I had known where the VIP waiting line was. I was at the lllllllloooooooong line on the other street which was okay because I got someone to let me borrow their markers so I could make my flyer :D Yes, we were lucky. I really enjoyed it 'cause it was just right on daylight. How many times are you just waking up or well in my case not sleeping at all just to see Coldplay up front early morning and seeing Jonny up close and sleepy still & then all smilies awww :nice:

PS: Pallavi, I did not understood what you were saying obviously.. I thought you were saying you were the one with the green camera. Take it easy. It was just a missunderstanding..geez.

[busybeeburns]

:P

[LiquidSky]

Ian...duh. :laugh3: Oh did you mean the guy in NYC? Chase Levy was his name.

No way! That was his name?! Yeah, I meant the guy from NYC:P

[masterkraig]

That Chase guy was young, I expected the reps would be older!

[jasmynebirch]

the mean guy wasn't Chase Levy. I don't think we ever got his name, just a lecture or 12.

Yeah, they were like WTF gorgeous! So early in the day, yet they were all glowing and beautiful. Looking at Jonny's pics (a little too closely), he didn't have a touch of red in his eyes. He looked rested, even if he was a bit cranky until Chris arrived onstage. :kiss:


Mel, lori, Liquidsky and Ang, how lucky were we? i will never forget it ever. so sorry i did not meet you:rolleyes: Mel, youre sig is just sick!!! holy crap, let me know if any of you are going to jersey, mon night



OMG, yeah. That was the experience of a lifetime. I'm so glad I got to do this and meet those of you I did meet. I wish I could have met all of you.

Yeah , I was wondering where you were the whole time, but I don't know what u look like.:thinking: I figured you might be somewhere near me because I was very close to Jonny.:P:P:P:P:P I think there's enough of us crazies now to have an official JONNY FANCLUB! Not that you want that, of course! (Neither does he I'm sure!) I read your review/story back when u posted it somewhere and it really cracked me up. Great sense of humor! Ah, the drama. All for Jonny, cause he's worth it!

Hi Jasmyne!!!!!!:D

[polkahard]

I still can't believe any of that happened. I keep watching the one video where my buddy and I talk to Chris from the crowd and laugh hysterically. Probably the only time I'm EVER going to be that close to my favorite band.

Got front row for Keane and (nearly) front row for Coldplay. Now it's just U2 on the list. Hmm, that one might be a bit tougher... :laugh4:

[jasmynebirch]

Hi Lori!

I am glad you seem to be feeling better :P

The mean guy?:laugh3: What did he say to you guys? I'm curious. He was really nice to me. I was kinda like eww don't get too close I stink! I am not really used to walking on bright daylight and NYC drove me crazy:rolleyes: I wanted to start sweeping and picking all the trash and everything. Man, I can only imagine how it looks on New Years Eve :dead:

How many times do I have to tell you that
JONNY IS ONLY MINE!!!!!!:P

I don't think I like people laughing at my story.. 'cause that's really how it happened...:embarassed: and I am not kidding when I say I ALMOST KILLED MYSELF RUNNING DOWN THE STAIRS FROM MCDONALDS. I had these high heels on and the stairs were just too close together. Everybody was looking at me like I was crazy (I'm crazy in love with Jonny:P) I almost got ran over by a taxi cab and I had not slept for the whole entire day. I didn't check in to my hotel until about 6pm on Friday and then I finally took a shower and took an hour nap. Woke up and went around the city and didn't come back to my hotel and sleep for another like 3 hours and then woke up again.. and did not sleep for the whole entire Saturday so I pretty much ended up sleeping until Sunday.. but it was all worth it :nice: I can keep on going about talking about Friday Today Show Coldplay NYC for hours. I already drove everyone crazy with it..:laugh3::embarassed:

[LiquidSky]

oh it's fine if you laugh.. it's no problem! :D I'm sure that if I was videotaped and watch the video.. I probably would have been laughing too.. but that was my crazy experience. :D at least I have one :D:D :D :D :D

[Christa42]

thanks again Ian, one of the greatest days of my life...... i still can't believe it:rolleyes:

Wish you were there with us.

[jasmynebirch]

Does anyone one have a good recording of the show on DVD or even VHS? I had DVR'ed it on my cable box (in HD) and of course for some reason my cable box has not been working lately and they are going to replace it. I watch it a lot so I really wanted to get a copy of it before they took it away from me :(

[jasmynebirch]

Well the guy wasn't really that mean, but he came over and was telling us when the guys showed up (where we were in line is where they were going to enter) that we weren't to bumrush them or act crazy. He said this at least a few times. He also gave us 4-5 speeches about making sure we went pee before we went inside and to make sure we ate and drank so that we didn't pass out, blah blah blah. We were all adult women who could have figured that out on our own. He was a NY'er so he just came off a little brash. The mean guy?:laugh3: What did he say to you guys? I'm curious.
