We rushed down the street and found our hotel which we discovered was actually nowhere near Tower bridge like the description told us ! So we checked in, and got changed in 15 minutes, rung for a taxi and set off for the Anchor Tap. However by this time it was after 4 ‘O clock and the taxi driver wasn’t really sure where it was, so he pulled up behind Butlers wharf and the guy said he didn’t want to leave us on our own so walked down the street while we were still sitting in the back of his taxi! He came back 5 minutes later and said he couldn’t see it, so he walked down to the river bank with us and asked us if we’d be alright and he set off back to his taxi, aaaw he was so worried about us it was sweet. Anyway because it was now 16:45 and people were queuing for the Erasmus we just joined them. I was so excited at this point and I looked around to try and recognise people from the forum but I didn’t know any of them at that point.

Looking forward to hear the rest of the story

I can understand that, I think I would feel the same if I didn't go.

I'm realising that last week's boat trip is like an episode of Lost, all the details are not fully appreciated until its too late to go back!

ApproximatelyInfinite · 30-11-2010, 11:14 PM

^And the making of video just puts this cinematic sheen on the whole thing too...

I can't help but have my heart swell when I see the shot of the boat with the balloons flying away

But it's pretty huge.

So my mom is friends with a lot of security guys that work arenas in ny-nj area.
And they just said that they were told that Coldplay will be coming to the Red Bull Arena, in newark nj, around JUNE!

I BELIEVE IT THOUGH BECAUSE HE WOULDN'T LIE TO ME.
He knows I'm a huge fan.
We should all be looking forward to a big summer tour hopefully, and an album out by this spring!!!!!

Newark?? Of all places.... ??? Nothing against Jersey... but c'mon! I hope they come to the Garden... they haven't given MSG a proper show since they did the free gig before VLV dropped.

Heck, they didn't even come back to NY! They actually did Across The Narrows Festival and another Jersey venue....

NumbersGirl · 01-12-2010, 02:17 AM

^ Doesn't JayZ own a Jersey sports team?

mrman78 · 01-12-2010, 02:40 AM

^ That reminds me, I forgot about the Coldplay/Jay-Z thing in Vegas over New Years... crap... WHY did I have to change my plans,, lol! Now not only did I not get to do this but they most likely won't be in London when I'm there!!!

My coldplaying karma really, really sucks right now!

I'm excited about the video and song tomorrow though! First new material in ages

thenowhereman · 16-12-2010, 10:08 AM

Hey all,

Does anyone have any group pictures from the boat trip? I'm not sure what camera they were taken on but if you could direct me to them or send them to me in a message I'd be much obliged. Thanks all you good good people

And I'm up here holding on
To all those chandeliers of hope.
