Yeah, well mine is Coldplay.
I heard their X&Y album and instantly fell in love. Their music is just so chill yet oddly catchy, and the lyrics are always interesting. Coldplay. is. amazing.
Anyway, I had been bugging my parents for a looong time to take me to a Coldplay concert, so they finally caved and took my family to go see it for my birthday. (Lesson of the day: persistence pays off.)
Well, we got to our amazing seats(by this time I was practically exploding with excitement), and I kid you not, the two TALLEST people I had ever seen in my LIFE sat in the two seats right in front of me. I mean, I'm tall. But these people were ginormous! The guy had to be at least 6'4", and the woman was at least 6'6". Out of ALL of the seats in the entire place, they picked the two right in front of me. I couldn't see anything except the bit of stage between their shoulders.
NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!
I wanted to cry. I felt like I was being Punk'd. This was the one thing I had been waiting for a long time, and now I wouldn't even be able to see anything? How was I going to see Chris's angelic face?!
But my dad, being the best dad in the world, offered to switch seats with me (he's not a huge fan, so he didn't particularly care). And everything was bright and sunny and happy again. My parents actually befriended the tall people, who turned out to be really, really nice.
Thus, I was able to take some pictures with my digital camera who loves to avoid focusing at all costs. (click on the pictures to enlarge them)
It rained BUTTERFLIES from the ceiling!!!
Coldplay has a really entertaining show, so if you ever get the chance to see them, take that opportunity! Even if you aren't a big fan. I mean, come on. If swarms of neon butterflies falling from the ceiling, giant spheres with pictures on them, and Chris Martin bouncing around stage like he had one too many Pixie Stix aren't completely and wonderfully magnificent, then I don't know what is.
