Dear Guy, Jonny, Will, and Chris,

 

As multilingual, multinational members of the fansite coldplaying.com, several of us got together one night to think of how we could express our thanks to you for giving us the best music we have ever heard and for making 2008 the best year to date in Coldplay history. Of course, there is no way we could thank you enough for all that you have given us throughout the years: the music, the concerts, your innate senses of humor, your constant attention to your fans, the international causes to care for, and upstanding people to look up to and emulate. Each person’s reason for being a Coldplay fan is unique and personal and cannot be covered with broad, blanket statements in a letter such as this one. This is why we’ve decided to organize ourselves into a mass-movement of postcard-sending: for each coldplaying.com member to personally say thank you for everything you have done and the lives you have touched and changed throughout the years. Thus, the Postcards From Far Away Project was born.

Many of us live very far away from your home base of England, while others of us live practically in your backyard. Wherever Coldplay fans live and whatever languages they speak, something every one of us could do was drop a postcard in the post with a short message in any language expressing our thanks for everything you have given us and your undying attention and generosity in 2008 in particular. We assume that you get bagfuls of mail every day, but we hoped that under the umbrella of a united project, our short messages of thanks from every corner of the globe would take on a greater meaning and express how much your music and your actions have meant to us throughout the years in a bigger way. At the least, we hope you’re aware of a tidal wave of increase in your fan mail, and at the most, we hope you’re able to read some of them and take their notes to heart.

Our Project is a small effort to give back in a small way for all that you have given us, especially this year. No matter how many thousands of postcards we could send in, you have given us the greater gift of your music and by spoiling us rotten in 2008 with practically two albums of new material, a regularly and personally updated website, touring the world over, and still having the time to sign autographs and take photo after photo with the fans who wait for you outside hotels and concert venues. We’d also like to extend our heartfelt thanks to your crew and management, in particular Roadie #42, the Oracle, Prospekt, Anchorman, and Debs. We are all very glad that we were rabid Coldplay fans in 2008, because no other band could have given us the amount of attention and information that you gave, and no other band would have kept us in such anticipation.

 

 

 

still needs a bit of an ending, though. i can work on it, but i really suck at endings :P

^^It's great! :lol:

anybody else?

YES WE CAN :lol:

thanks Zemy! :D

 

Anyone got any ideas on further promotion of the project over the next five days to get the idea further afield? Maybe someone can make some small banners or moving widgets for everyone to add to their social network or personal sites or possibly contacting their local medias or something?

I've made a moving advert banner thing for the project but I don't know where / how to upload the flash (.swf) file. Anyone know how I can do that?

Ok wait, I think I might have it...

I wonder if this works :inquisitive:

 

EDIT: ok, looks like coldplaying can't embed flash files, so i've provided the link to view it instead.

THAT IS THE MOST EPIC THING I HAVE EVER SEEN.

 

ian, is there ANY possible way to support flash on this forum?? everyone NEEDS to have that in their sigs, it's too perfect.

that looks so professional and awesome :dead:

That's . so . awesome

i can't stop looking at it :wideeyed:

 

we have to be able to get it work on here somehow :bigcry:

I know.

 

It's perfect :dead:

Aww thanks guys, really. :nice:

 

I PM'd Ian about it so I hope that he can come to our rescue soon! :P
