A Family Who Rocks Together...

...stays together. Jimmy made sure he was at the record shop early enough to be at near the front of the line to buy Coldplay tickets (we were too chicken to try to buy tickets online on a Dutch site). In less than 15 minutes, the concert sold out. Lucky for him, a second concert was added and it was on a Friday night, so he was able to get four tickets for prime seats. We started the night with a special treat of all-you-can-eat sushi in Rotterdam, then headed to the Ahoy theater for our first rock concert in Holland. The opening band was forgettable, but Coldplay was awesome. The crowd sang along with most of the songs, the light show was amazing, and the band didn’t stay still, playing on catwalks and in the back of the arena for a few songs. The most memorable moment, however, happened after the concert was over and we were walking to the metro. Someone started chanting the ending of Viva La Vida and soon the entire crowd of thousands was chanting along.
