Aurora's 8th Birthday and Coldplay.
Happy 8th Birthday sweet girl Aurora!
Aurora was absolutely spoiled rotten thanks to her father! Not only did she get a Coldplay ticket, softies book but also an ipod touch! It is a serious piece of equipment, and I'm totally jealous.
So on March the 11th, the day after her birthday, we went to the Coldplay concert at the Acer Arena at Homebush. Just as it was in Berlin in September 6 months earlier, the show was amazing. And as usual, Aurora used her charm to score some memorabilia, which included drumsticks, a skin, and a guitar pick that was made for the tour. Afterwards we went stalking. After half an hour Will, the drummer came out and gracefully signed Aurora's things. He was curious to find out what music she had on her ipod that she presented to be signed and was impressed!
Another half hour later, we met Chris Martin, lead singer! He also was happy to sign her things too. Such nice guys!
We did miss the other guitarists though, so might need to do another stake out before they depart Sydney.
We'll start with the exciting piccies first of the stalkings and concert.

Speechless! I bet Coldplay were mightly impressed to meet a cute little girl who had previously been to their Berlin show too!
Good job Aurora, what a birthday!
Damien and Julie - how do you ever plan on topping this??
You are amazing...I should definitely get the tips from you before heading out to a concert Julie! We went on the Wednesday night and ended up across the aisle from the 'mini-stage' so we were beside ourselves with excitement.
One question when did you start taking the kids to concerts? James thinks Coldplay is 'boring' so I wasn't going to waste my money on him this time.
Belinda, hello! Congrats on your new baby girl, I'll have to check your blog.
We've been taking Aurora since my early sewing days with you when U2 were out.
I need to get on the boards more often so we can hook up at these things.
