Pemberton Festival 2008

Coldplay heats up stage

Sunday, 11:00 p.m. - Coldplay is hot.

The mega-band is halfway through its set right now and, while it's tough to match Jay-Z's ability to hype the crowd, Chris Martin and Co. are doing an admirable job. Even Matin joked, "We'd like to thank Jay-Z for letting us open for him."

But the crowd, many near the front sitting on shoulders and all armed with cellphones, are having none of that. After all, they're getting the best of both worlds and, overall, it's tough to complain after so many quality acts on stage.

Multimedia editor Mark Yuen and I are packing up our gear as we get ready to call the inaugural Pemberton Festival a wrap. That means it's time to point the car south and head back to Vancouver. It's been a long weekend, and it's going to be an even longer journey back home.

So, officially now, that's all folks.
