Cool Play
Here are some pictures from the weekend! Adam and Season
and Quinn and I. They were taken on our drive up to the venue. This next picture is from the show.
I only took a few and none of them turned out great, so I'm only posting this one. I took this picture during the performance of "Yellow." Giant yellow balloons floated and bounced around during this song. Over-all the show was good, but getting there and getting home was a nightmare. It took us 1 hr and 20 minutes to go 3/4 of a mile. The people directing traffic for this Irvine amphitheater are smart! I don't think I'll be seeing another show at this venue. Now, to note one other thing about the show...I was a little surprised to see how the fans have changed. I saw Coldplay in 2003 in a much smaller venue and the fans all seemed to be a lot like me. I was standing in line for the bathroom before the show started and I was listening to some other women's conversations. One woman said to the other "The new Black-Eyed Peas record is so good." I was standing in line for the bathroom at a coldplay concert and there is a fan of the band who also is a fan of the Black-Eyed Peas. This would not have happened 2 or 3 years ago. But Coldplay is bigger, they are becoming an Icon band and their fans are not necessarily changing..they are just growing in numbers. It makes me sad, but I guess I should be glad for the band and their sucess. Anyway, the show was still good and Chris Martin was as charasmatic as ever. Sorry I don't have better pictures!

Looks like you got some sun over the weekend too!
I'll have to remember to sit at the edge of the lawn when we go see Coldplay in September.. so Chris Martin can run out to me during In My Place :)
yeah, I went to the pool on saturday during the day. got a little red, but it's brown now. Good luck trying to sit close to the front of the lawn to touch Chris during 'In My Place!' Hahaha.
