[coldplay_steph]

Ditto!

[Nettie]

Great minds thinks alike....

Chris Martin is one sexy mutha...

[AmandaCA85]

lol agreed!

[autumnjoy]

ok, two questions:
how do I upload a video?
and
if I have a video in quicktime, and it was recorded up and down, instead of the normal sideways (like, to watch it on the computer, you have to turn your head to the side)... can I change that?

as soon as I get some answers, i'll upload the vids...
there's one of the performance and one of the speech before the award presentation (to Brian Adams)

[autumnjoy]

sorry, no vid tonight kids...
tomorrow-ish

did I mention that I'm the one that handed Chris the cell phone when he so cutely asked "does anyone have a telephone?" in a British accent...

[Texasluvsjonny]

aww man, just upload, someone will flip it around and repost.

Go to http://www.rapidshare.de/
click the "browse" button.
find the file on your puter and then click "upload" button.
after the file has loaded, it will give you a link to post so we can download it.

[autumnjoy]

i tried downloading.. it's going to take an hour and a half.. and my computer sucks ass so much that it times out only 20% of the way through..

But tomorrow Erin and I are going to get together and get it on here.. both vids.. they're great

Sorry about the upload troubles guys, but we'll see what we can do tomorrow.

I'm working on another big paper at the moment, so you'll have to bear with the trickle of information, but I'll write up something much more coherent soon. (Why do these sorts of things always happen at the end of term, anyway?)

Anyway, I do have a little bit to post for now, with a huge thanks to autumnjoy for the picture.

First, to make a really long story short, I should clairify something. On the net, I prefer to go by Erin. However, out in the real world, people call me Maureen (or Mo) -just so no one gets too confused at the sig.

So autumjoy had all these grand plans of how to wander around the city looking for the guys. Me, being the paranoid cynical type I am thought this was a little crazy and would never work. I went to the huge (amazing) Broken Social Scene concert Saturday night, and woke up Sunday hardly able to hear, and barely able to move I ached so much. As much as I really wanted to find the guys, I couldn't bear the though of moving more than a couple of feet at a time, and like I said, I didn't think we had much of a chance anyway.

Then Joy called. She'd been hanging out around the Metro Centre, and had met them all on the way into soundcheck. (I'll let her give you the details of that.) I finished getting ready and hightailed it down there myself. Guy, Will and Jonny had already left, but Chris was still inside rehearsing. There was basically no one there besides autumnjoy's family and a couple of other people. Everyone else was at the other end of the building lining the red carpet hoping to see someone.

I had made it just in time. Chris came out in that black hoodie of his. And we all went a bit crazy. I asked him to sign my arobtth cover. I'm shy to begin with, but I wasn't as tounge-tied as I was afraid of being, even though I just sort of mumbled stuff. It's strange... the sort of things I wish I could say is how that album you just signed was the first real cd I ever owned, and how it gets played twice as often as anything, and how the music changed my world and means so much to me. But of course however true that may be it's all cliches and in the end I just go along with other people's conversations.

Chris talks about how cold it is and how can we stand it out there. (The wind was ferocious that day and he was just wearing a thin hoodie) I think I said something about getting used to it and shrugging. Someone told him how they could hear the soundcheck and it sounded really good. Chris gave a typical it was crap kind of answer (have I mentioned how much I love this guy yet?) and promised it would be awesome that night. Autumnjoy's mom got up to courage to ask if she could see Chris's new haircut, to which he said something about how he was still really self-concious about it.

He was so amazingly patient with everyone, and seemed like he was in a really good mood, even if he was shivering. He posed for pictures with people, and signed autographs and stuff. Of course I was so starstruck by that point I couldn't even squeak out a request for a picture, and so he was off.

Seriously. Nicest guy in the universe.

And for the record, in spite of whatever misgivings he had about the haircut, based on what I saw at the actual Junos, I'd say its my favorite haircut of his ever. It looked perfect. No worries.

So, here he is signing my album cover for me.


and here it is:

*squeel*

LUCKY GIRL!

Thanks for sharing.

I am sooooooo jealous!

[yellow_fever]

in the 1st pic, people are walking by in the background oblivious that the greatest frontman ever is so near to them! i dunno why i noticed that

wow he signed "love Chris" ...
...that's brilliant! ! !

[Space Cadet]

No problem. I usually live vicariously through others write-ups like that, so It's nice to be the one sharing for a change.

Now you think that was cool, wait for part two at the ceremony... Yes, that was autumnjoy's phone that he took...

For now, I'm off to homework and bed.

[Marisa]

Good luck and good night!
