Hooray for Coldplay!!!

For those of you who don't know, my company is a huge supporter of the United Way.  Every year we have a United Way week where they have huge auctions and donate thousands and thousands of dollars to the United Way.  Well last year I bought a basket that had a night stay at Hotel Monaco and a $200 dollar gift card to the Energy Solutions Arena.  I didn't want to buy Jazz tickets, cause that's lame!  For me anyway.  John would have loved it, but that's not what I wanted to buy. So I waited and waited.  Thankfully, Ashly told me Coldplay was coming in November.  I love Coldplay.  That's one of the things on my bucket list, see Coldplay in concert!!  Well, with the ESA gift certificate, you have to go down to the box office.  I've never done this before.  John had a few softball games yesterday so I had to go by myself.  I don't like to go anywhere by myself, especially down town!  I'm kind of a chicken!  But I did.  Boy oh boy were there some interesting folk among the crowd.  I overheard one guy say he has the Criket cell phone plan because he needs the unlimited minutes for his drug dealing.  If you saw this guy you would know he wasn't just saying this to get a stir out of people.  Then there was this one guy who wouldn't stop talking to me.  I'm a very social person, I'll talk to anyone.  I get this from my dad.  But this guy gave me the creeps!  He was probably a really nice guy, but I'm a girl downtown by myself, not happening!!  I kept giving him one word answers.   Anyway, not a lot of people go to the box office to buy tickets.  There was only about 30 of us.  I was 7th in line.  Let me tell you, this is the way to buy tickets!!!!!  I'm a fan club member for Keith Urban.  I bought tickets in February 07 for his show in September 07.  I bought them before they went on sale to the public.  I got upper bowl seats for Keith Urban.  Well, I got 9th row tickets for Coldplay and they had pre sale tickets go on sale on June 14th.  Maybe it's that Coldplay isn't that popular in Utah, but I just don't think that's the case.  Whatever, I'm super excited for November 22!!  Oh and if you haven't bought or downloaded Viva La Vida yet, I highly recommended it!
