Jenjie Posted October 7, 2008 Share Posted October 7, 2008 maybe i am naive, but...i saw yesterday that someone from this board already found the bakery...and when he/she lives in london...why can't he/she just go there, note the adress and...here we go!? or isn't there any adress, house-number etc... . we don't know the house number but shouldn't be a problem as we can find the postcode, using eithe rof the businesses next door or the Royal Mail Postcode finder we could send them to someone in the UK and they could bring the giant box of cards down to the Bakery, knock on the door and run away. :P knock & run :o Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SwallowedInSea Posted October 7, 2008 Share Posted October 7, 2008 :stunned: how i didn't knew about this thread before? i thought to gave them a bag with postcards from the cities of my region at Barcelona's concert, and i didn't do it ... :uhoh: I wanna join this project, in fact i used to collect Postcards :nice: great idea Lore :clap: This thread popped around 10:30 PM New York time last night, and kept many of us Coldplayers from doing our homework or going to bed on time... :laugh3: But it's amazing how fast the thread grew- probably because we are really excited about it!

I will keep my eyes wide open!!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gya Posted October 7, 2008 Share Posted October 7, 2008 1 possible idea: In order to stay with the theme, identify us as a group AND encourage creativity, how about all return addresses should just state : From Far Away. The actual postcard itself should identify what far flung place that is. (Whether purchased or created by sender) Love this idea! I also think 1 postcard should be enough, and a butterfly as logo sounds great. So yeah, I'm in too. Awesome idea :flutterby: :cheesy: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

notlost92 Posted October 7, 2008 Share Posted October 7, 2008 WOW, everyone else appeared while I slept! Have I missed anything important, plans-wise? I noticed people discussing how to get the postcards to the bakery... Oh and I know that sending a postcard from the US' East Coast to London takes between 1-2 weeks, depending on how much you want to pay. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When Chavi sent me butterflies from France it only took a few days. :flutterby: Maybe it made a difference that it was an envelope and not a postcard, so the shipping was more?:thinking: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Awesome idea :flutterby: :cheesy: Yes, and someone could design a butterfly which we can all download and print and put on the postcard. and I like the From Far Away as the sender idea also Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well when I was living there this summer, I sent postcards home and it took a week at the least. Maybe they're more lazy in the summer? :P Good morning, by the way!

I know, it's getting a little ridiculous. I went to sleep as soon as I signed off last night and now that I'm up I'm back here. Oh well, what do I expect I guess?

notlost92 Posted October 7, 2008 Share Posted October 7, 2008 I'd like to point out that this butterfly can't be too big, as people are already worried about having enough space to write... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The dream made me a little sad, though, because it reminded me that I'll never actually meet them! Unless I figure out a way to find them before SNL...

Chavi Posted October 7, 2008 Share Posted October 7, 2008 we could send them to someone in the UK and they could bring the giant box of cards down to the Bakery, knock on the door and run away. :P we should do that if we cant find the right address to the bakery ! just put the postcard in an envelop so the address of the one living in The UK wont be on the postcard, and just write THE BAKERY on the postcard. Hmmm.... really? When Chavi sent me butterflies from France it only took a few days. :flutterby: Maybe it made a difference that it was an envelope and not a postcard, so the shipping was more?:thinking: yep it was pretty fast, i was impressed as it only cost me 1,70€ to send it.

Szonj Posted October 7, 2008 Share Posted October 7, 2008 I like it :) Maybe everyone could change the background color depending on the color of the actual postcard or the envelope. Hm? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chavi Posted October 7, 2008 Share Posted October 7, 2008 ^^ or use our country/state flag ? :) --having some kind of logo(butterflies:flutterby::flutterby::flutterby:??) or/and making sure everyone puts Postcards from Far Away Project/coldplaying.com is a MUST --everyone signing NAME, from COUNTRY (so the whole "from far away" thing comes across) --maybe not the whole message needs to be in your own language, just maybe one same phrase that everyone agrees on; 'cause though Chris can manage to memorize how to say "Thanks for coming to the show" in any language, I doubt the guys are fluent in every language they could receive postcards from LOL Ok, there's my 2cents :blush: Yeah we definitely should put in big bold letters POSTCARDS FROM FAR AWAY PROJECT/Coldplaying.com !!! and using our own language is abvisouly a great idea ! :nice: Cant wait for all this to happen ! and hopefully they'll really appreciate it and maybe we'll get some good feed back :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
soundslike Posted October 7, 2008 Share Posted October 7, 2008 ok, summary or what we have up to now: - Butterfly-logo, designed by:chelsea? - motto: postcards from far away on it - best: sned directly to the bakery. questions: - should we send them all at the same time, so that they arrive at the same...? maybe they must be collected somwhere...and i guess, the guys have a break in december - christmas - so they are back home, maybe in the studio - so the the postcards must be there at this time...difficult? doable? (sorry for my confused writing) another idea: what about the oxfam-guy again: can we give the postcards to him an then - at any gig - he brings them on stage..it's a surprise as well...and great. or we send them to one official coldplay-member and he collects them and surprises the guys on tour/on stage...? sorry, i'm too busy for constructive suggestions...i'll write later;-) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tonsu Posted October 7, 2008 Share Posted October 7, 2008 Marvellous!! I've been thinking about how to get the postcards to the boys, and have two ways to deliver them (that's if we don't decide to email them individually). Now I just need to check some dates...
