Best. Concert. Ever.

Ok, I should have written about this back in June, but I didn't. So I'm writing about it now. This year, Chris & I went to the best concert ever, hands down. It was the Coldplay concert.

Did we pay a lot for tickets? Yes
Would we do it again? Yes
Did we enjoy the show? Yes
Did we cry? Yes (though Chris is still denying this....)

What made this concert so awesome, you're probably asking yourself. Well.....

1. Chris Martin is hot. I say that quite easily (see photo). Gwyneth Paltrow, you're a lucky lady.
2. He has wicked amazing energy.
3. I had no voice the next day. Which means I was screaming the entire time.
4. They made Chris cry. My Chris, not Chris Martin.
5. The 8 bazillion butterflies they dropped from the ceiling (see photo)
6. The huge yellow balloons they dropped from the ceiling (see photo)
7. They left the stage and sang in the stands for the people at the back of the building
8. I've heard from at least 2 people that they were given front row seats by a member of Coldplay's entourage when asked where their seats were (high rows of the 300's). That is truly awesome.
9. Did I mention they made Chris cry? I cried too. We both cried. It was amazing.
10. I still get goosebumps and shivers when I hear one of their songs live - it immediately takes me back to the concert and makes me wish they came back every year.

If you didn't have a chance to go, feel free to view a few of their songs, played here in Winnipeg, here:
