Mystery guest blogger coming up..
Here’s one from a couple of days ago..
Waiting in the Denver arena, looking through the glass at all manner of Denver Nuggets merch. It’s going to be a good night. I can feel it. I looked out at the setting sun, through swirls of rollercoasters.. to the huge Broncos stadium, and rugged line of mountains cutting off the sun. Now that sun has gone down, the temperature is in plummet mode again. I’m going to need some gloves for that trip outdoors.. This cooler air, is a good way to acclimatise before the UK tour..
The Oxfam volunteers had free reign on a huge arena. 3 Levels towering up high. During the show, I took a seat in one of the closed off sections behind the stage. It’s an incredible sight to see all those people staring towards you, but not looking at you at all.
I wan’t to introduce our fantastic guest blogger, Soha Yassine, to the world. She will be taking the Oxfam reigns for all things Coldplay, for the final three shows in USA in 2008. Salt Lake City, Anaheim and Phoenix has a special treat. She’s an amazing person, and has been busily organising all manner of things from Boston for the whole tour for weeks. Now though, it’s her chance to get that laminate, throw her bag on the bus and be a proper roadie.. I am leaving you all in very capable hands. Good luck Soha. I will see you all in Sheffield! Homeward bound..

Coldplay has invited Oxfam on their mammoth Viva La Vida World Tour. Throughout 2008 the band played huge shows across 3 continents and 18 countries. Oxfam volunteers were there every step of the way, talking to 100,000s of people about how they can take action to overcome poverty. Now in 2010, Coldplay continue this tour with shows across in Argentina, Brazil, Colombia and Mexico. Oxfam groups around the world will again join the tour, blogging as they go.

It was great to see you again Soha! Thanks for letting Sarah and I work with you at the Anaheim show. Oxfam has a great representative in you!
