Lore Posted October 7, 2008 Author Share Posted October 7, 2008 I think that if she likes the idea maybe she'll be able to help us but we need to organize this first and just then contact her Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
notlost92 Posted October 7, 2008 Share Posted October 7, 2008 Maybe we could do a "Coldplay, c/o (whoever drops them off)".... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ApproximatelyInfinite Posted October 7, 2008 Share Posted October 7, 2008 i think we'd have to get on asking debs, like, RIGHT NOW. if i remember correctly, she's not that punctual with her answers. how do we contact her again? i think we should ask her right now and begin to wait for an answer. i'd be totally willing to write or head up the writing of some sort of cover-letter to the project. of course, since it's lore's idea, she gets first dibs, but i rather like formal letter-writing, and i also :heart: this idea. i had a vague idea that i would send them a postcard because of the title of the song (to accompany my letter i sent aaaages ago), but i didn't think of making it a mass-movement! i love it, lore!

SwallowedInSea Posted October 7, 2008 Share Posted October 7, 2008 I agree, Lore. Debs does seem like to personally help us fans out from time to time, and if we organized this well and someone got all the postcards together, she could give an address where we'd be sure they would get to the boys. :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Grace Posted October 7, 2008 Share Posted October 7, 2008 you know what i love? us. hahaha. without sounding arrogant, but i feel like this could work especially because we're working together and we listen to each other's ideas. chris was right when he said that coldplay fans were the best people in the world.:smug: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lore Posted October 7, 2008 Author Share Posted October 7, 2008 I think that we could write it using ideas posted by everyone here in the board :) if I write it I'd really need some grammar help since my English it's not that good... If everyone is agree we could send her an email tomorrow maybe or during this week Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Viva la Vida~LiveLife Posted October 7, 2008 Share Posted October 7, 2008 I reckon this is a great idea. I love the thought. I think we should drop a note into the oracle and hope for the best. But i mean if we send a mass amount of cards Im sure they'll get the idea Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Grace Posted October 7, 2008 Share Posted October 7, 2008 I think that we could write it using ideas posted by everyone here in the board :) yeah, we could make another thread and someone write a basic letter and we could just throw in our ideas and scrutinise the letter.

I think that we could write it using ideas posted by everyone here in the board :) if I write it I'd really need some grammar help since my English it's not that good... If everyone is agree we could send her an email tomorrow maybe or during this week i'd help you 100%, lore, if you wanted. i have a thing about correcting grammar :P. just let me know if you need/want it :D just a little idea i have; tell me if you think its crap: i think it would be cool if some people actually made their own postcards too, like postsecret. so many people on here are amazing at photoshop/art/etc, and the rest are relatively competent. i feel like things like grace's siggy or some other avis/siggys i've seen through the years on this site printed on a 4X6 inch card would make an EPIC postcard to them, and would almost mean more. and they're still from far away because, well, they are REALLY mailed from far away. that's just me, though :P Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Grace Posted October 7, 2008 Share Posted October 7, 2008 ^ i love it too. frankly, it's around 4:39 am over here and i actually went to bed at 12, but woke up at 2 am again and the first thing i decided to do because i couldn't fall asleep again, was logging onto coldplaying, which is rather sick and awesome at the same time. :laugh3: oh, and just a random thought, but maybe we should set a size for the postcards, so that each one has an equal chance of being read. :lol: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lore Posted October 7, 2008 Author Share Posted October 7, 2008 home-made postcards would be awesome! there's really talented people here! and I agree with the postcard size... maybe not an exact size.. but similar Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ApproximatelyInfinite Posted October 7, 2008 Share Posted October 7, 2008 the average postcard size is 10 by 15 centimeters, or 4 by 6 inches (i have one right here that i just measured :P) i might work on getting my ideas out for a letter, because i'm bored :D then everyone can add to/take away from/rip apart.

notlost92 Posted October 7, 2008 Share Posted October 7, 2008 Yeah, I was just thinking about Postsecret... I think it'd also be cool to have postcards that show where the sender lives, though- like the tourist postcards. Just so we can demonstrate the whole "far away" part of the project :P But handmade ones would be awesome as well! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Marcoldplayer Posted October 7, 2008 Share Posted October 7, 2008 Amazing idea! :D --- That made me remember this -> http://coldplay.mundoforo.com/carta-regalo-sorpresa-para-coldplay-vt1293.html And this -> http://img296.imageshack.us/img296/3739/2184121340103341162iyqxov9.jpg :P Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lore Posted October 7, 2008 Author Share Posted October 7, 2008 I think that the letter should mention that we're from this board and we're from many different parts of the world (that's why the song inspired us to make the project) and we wanted to make this as a way to say thanks to the band (and their crew! don't forget roadie/oracle/prospekt/anchorman, etc) for the amazing coldplay year .. with the new album and tour.... and saying to them that we also appreciate all the efforts to keep us happy (updating the official site almost every day / releasing new songs / including lots of places in the tour, etc) (I already sent a thanks note yesterday to the oracle and a question about glass of water... but it's never enough when it comes to say thanks :P ) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cris_Santos Posted October 7, 2008 Share Posted October 7, 2008 What do you think they'll like the most? To receive dozens of postcards every day or hundreds in a row? If we send them directly to Coldplay they're not likely to arrive at the same time, it'll be easier to be read, but won't be that 'massive'. I love the idea of a formal letter to Debs, Chelsea :nice: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ApproximatelyInfinite Posted October 7, 2008 Share Posted October 7, 2008 i thought about that too. would be cool for them to see the diversity of where their fans actually come from. (i'm sure they're aware of that, but still... ) definitely agree. i'd probably send one from my college and then one i made, for example :P. and probably more than that, just to make the numbers appear greater. I think that the letter should mention that we're from this board and we're from many different parts of the world (that's why the song inspired us to make the project) and we wanted to make this as a way to say thanks to the band (and their crew! don't forget roadie/oracle/prospekt/anchorman, etc) for the amazing coldplay year .. with the new album and tour.... and saying to them that we also appreciate all the efforts to keep us happy (updating the official site almost every day / releasing new songs / including lots of places in the tour, etc) (I already sent a thanks note yesterday to the oracle and a question about glass of water... but it's never enough when it comes to say thanks :P ) gotcha, lore :wink: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
