"Now my feet won't touch the ground"

As the sun went down, Coldplay started to get into their groove. They left the stage for a mini-stage about halfway back in the pavillion, so Jason and I made a move to position ourselves closely for the mini-lawn stage they looked to be headed to next. We were about 20 feet from the stage, and I had Shannon's camera ready to snap some close up pictures. Jason took a quick bathroom break, and as soon as he left a middle-aged woman walked up and said "Are you here with anyone?" -- "Yes" -- "Would you like my tickets? I'm leaving." -- "Sure, are they pavillion?" -- "Yes, they're row L." -- "Thank you" -- I immediately dart back to our spot on the lawn, hand Sharp her camera and grab Rogers' hand. As the Hardest Part and then Viva La Vida play, we Nick and Norah'd our way up to the front, ultimately landing about 4 rows back. from the stage. Section C, Row L, Seats 3 and 4. We were 10 feet from Chris Martin when he danced around with his Chinese-Dragon Mask on during "Lost."

It was surreal. Confetti was flying. The last five songs were amazing. Since we didn't have a camera, fortunately, I have some memorabilia to prove we didn't just head home early.
