OK, cool.

it says in the official rules (which I just managed to locate) that one should send 2 postcards. is this a requirement or a limit?

 

may I place the logo on the image side of the card, rather than the side with my writing?

 

(again, sorry for asking so many questions, but I do want to get it right!)

Is a limit, you can send up to 2 postcards :nice:

 

You can place the logo wherever you want, wherever it works with your postcard better, the only requirement is to use it!!!! ;)

just a quickie... Debs says that the cards have been arriving and they're wonderful! :)

 

ooh, i just posted that in the other thread, but i didn't realize you already said it here :D

 

she told me that she's gotten 20 so far and the letters to her and coldplay, so we hope that more and more will wash in from all over the world right up until the stop-mailing date of december 22!

 

she seems to be really touched by the project, so i think the guys will be too :nice:

 

she's also set up a date with the band and management to drop off the cards...but the guys don't know that's why she's coming! :D

 

KEEP SENDING, EVERYONE! :dance:

she got the letters that we sent?? awesome :dance:

 

oh you know what

 

I'm on vacation until march :D which means

 

I've got time to create the postcards now :D :D

got it--thanks so much! I think I actually have this under control now!

Oh my... this is so beautiful... :stunned:

 

 

:dead:

Okay i just sent mine today. ahh!! I do hope they get them. By the way, did any of you get weird looks from the post office people?. lol. because I sure did :laugh3::laugh3:

 

I did! People queueing were also staring at my folder and my postcard. The lady from the post office was like:

 

-Oh, UK? Who's there?

-[Coldplay] Errrrrrm, so how much is it, again?

  • Author

yeah, i'm pretty sure the post office people think i'm insane, because i'm always mailing things to coldplay from there, and it's like the same four ladies that have worked there for years :lol:

 

this is the THIRD time i've sent something to the UK for coldplay :rolleyes:. they definitely think i'm crazy.

^^ :lol:

 

 

But yeah, keep sending, guys ;)

*lol* I've sent a few weird things in my life, the people here at the post office must think the same of me.

 

And ahhhhhh, 20 postcards already!!

It's so cool of Debs that she is doing all that for us.

she's also set up a date with the band and management to drop off the cards...but the guys don't know that's why she's coming! :D

 

feels so special to know there's gonna be a meeting with the band and management because of US ! :nice:

 

here's my messages. I tried to be short.

and no weird look at the post office for me as I just asked for the right stamps and then put the cards myself into the mailing box :P

I dunno if this is even the correct place to reply, but I got info on this from my email alert.

I don't believe I've ever posted here even though I do enjoy this music.

and joined a long time ago, geez!

 

anyway, I have two really quick questions about the postcards:

first of all, am I supposed to sign my last name? I see some of you have not.

and

are you supposed to put a stamp on the postcard? there is a barcode in that area of my postcard, which I purchased from a university bookstore. I'm in the US. (I do not frequently send mail this way.)

 

thanks for the help!

 

 

you will definitely need a postage stamp otherwise Debs will have to pay to receive the card. the admin charge is £1, I think, plus whatever postage it should have cost.

okay mine is FINALLY done!

although I still have to cut them out, and get a stamp

they didn photgraph well cause they were printed on metallic paper but you get the idea:

 

front-1.jpg

butterflies are in colour and rather sparkly :D

back.jpg

the image of rotterdam is also printed very lightely on th back side, and yes I just noticed I spelled PHILL with two L's again! WHYYYYYYYYYYYY I did it right in all the previews! :bigcry: also added the E i forgot... D'OH!!!

 

edit I just scanned it, it's better that way

it's a cool postcard! :D
