Hi Lucy!
I have now voted for your wonderful contribution to the competition. I read another very good review consisting of part 1 and 2 competing with yours (and skimmed the rest of the contributions - all good), but I still find your contribution the best one. Good luck!
When will you be leaving for Herning and are you staying at a hotel in Herning or maybe in lovely Aarhus - Denmark's second largest town/city with an airport some kilomenters outside of Aarhus?
I would like to meet you (I live near Copenhagen) and have not bought tickets for Herning, because I saw Coldplay at the Roskilde Festival. A wonderful experience, and I must say that Chris is very good at pronunciating foreign languages (both Danish and French -with practi-cally no accent - that man is simply second to none). Danish have some words that are practically impossible to pronounce for a foreigner, but he can - I was really impressed.
Danish reviews of the Coldplay concert at the Roskilde Festival were mainly good and positive, but the sound level could have been higher! The audience (more than 50,000 people) knew many of the songs - much to my surprise as Coldplay is not a popular band in Denmark among the youngsters! The week after the Roskilde Festival, Viva la Vida made a re-entry at the I-Tunes Top 40 at no. 20, and album sales went up from no. 36 to no. 19. So I find that Roskilde had a good effect on the band's album sales in Denmark.
As to your appeal for a good picture to have signed by Chris: Have you arranged something? At Roskilde the anchorman asked for the time of sunset - replies by e-mail to be sent to
anchorman@coldplay.com. I don't know, but maybe this could be some help to you in arranging something so that you can get the picture signed by Chris.
