How I did it
How to go to a Coldplay concert
It took me
3 years
It made me
Ecstatic!!!

How I did it: I saw their show at The Woodlands Pavilion outside of Houston, TX on July 22nd. We had just general admission tickets, which were reasonably priced (if you don't include the ticketmaster extra charges). We were pretty far back, but Coldplay really knows how to play for a large audience. The lights, video and special effects were FANTASTIC! They also would come out to play songs on smaller stages in the audience. When they came out to the … Read how I did it…

go to more concerts (read all 3 entries…)
Ghostland Observatory 20 months ago

After a long break from concerts after ACL, I finally saw another Austin legend: Ghostland Observatory. The duo of front man Aaron Behrens and producer/drummer Thomas Turner had an amazing record release party at the Austin Music Hall. The concert was a non-stop dance party. It is impossible to go to their show and not break it down. Special guest UT Marching Band rocked out to the song The Band Marches On. Their live show is something every music fan needs to see, and i’m so glad i got the chance! Next up is SXSW!!!!
