Coldplay

Woohoo!! The day FINALLY arrived...I'd never been to the Rod Laver Arena before and was just excited to be in the same place Federa was not THAT long ago:)Jessica and I lined up to get our Coldplay t-shirts and buttons...The lights...the music...AMAZING....When they started singing 'yellow' all the lights went yellow and HUNDREDS of yellow beach balls came down from the roof!! You could punch them around the Arena but if you hit them too hard they would pop and they were filled with little yellow bits of paper that would go everywhere!!One of my favourite songs on the new album is 'Strawberry Swing' so I took a photo during the song:) At one point in the show the band walked up through the crowd and started singing songs REALLY close to where we were sitting...it was SWEET...
See here is Jess and that's coldplay in the spotlight! HOW CLOSE IS THAT!!During their song 'Lovers in Japan' millions of paper butterflys came down from the roof...I took LOTS of pics...



But they don't look as good as what it actually looked like...(Just Iphone pics)


Here's the back of our t-shirts...

Looking a bit tired!The next day we awoke EARLY and headed to the temple...it's the first time in ages that Jess and I have been able to go together! It was FANTASTIC...

hmm don't look tired AT ALL do we??
