HOLY COW! :stunned: (Or muffins! :P )

I'm ridiculously late as usual :dozey:

I must have overslept...........had an awesome postcard dream, & it'll be super silly to share it with you at that point! :P

But it's never late to SQUEEEEEEEEEE :dance:

Ok so now we have the video, I can talk about the day if you like.

When I got there to arrange all the postcards (I don't know how many there were in the end, i didn't count, sorry!), Will was already in the room and he kept wandering over asking Q's. I was shooing him away. Then Guy came along and did the same, and then Jonny.

It was no easy feat keeping them from picking up cards and asking about the project. Finally I got some time alone to make sure each card could be seen when you walked around them.

I sat at the table as they ate lunch when Chris arrived. Ever the comedian he walked in and shouted "Any post?"

He was also impressed but again, I coaxed him away.

After lunch the band got some proper time to have a look at the cards. I'd always wanted the video to be set to the song and I realize it means that it's a short film but I think it's perfect. Thanks to Roadie #42 and his assistant cameraman for the filming.

I'm not sure if you'll be able to spot your cards but I can vouch for the fact they spent a long time looking at them all.

They were absolutely blown away by the project, the effort, the handwriting, the locations, the creations and special mention to the Studebaker car with VIVA on the side as that was one of the first cards that everyone who was there picked up!

 

I obviously saw all the cards many times and can remember them all I reckon. I recall Ian's Manchester card, the caricature of Chris (it didn't offend but gave us all a laugh), the countless beautiful butterfly cards (including confetti from shows and one that scared me to death when I opened it; butterflies FLEW out!), the montage photo cards (including "Phil is Hot"), VIVA, cartoon drawings, live photos, George W, recreating Viva video, Johnny Cash, Christmas cards, hand stitched... the list goes on.

They all kept saying how brilliant and talented their fans are and shared cards with each other.

As you can see they were in a jovial mood and it ended with the LiTii puppets joining in. They were sat with postcards on their laps and of course gave the thankyou speech.

It was so great to see cards from Peru, Chile, Finland, Paris, Croatia, Australia, States... well you know, you sent them!... from EVERYWHERE!

 

Thanks for doing it guys it was a lovely idea and really appreciated.

Sorry if you don't spot yours or if I didn't mention it but that doesn't make it any less amazing. You're all fantastic!

:lol:

What a beautiful, beautiful, beautiful story, Debs! :nice:

Glad that Phil was in The Bakery on that day! :D

Thanx Lore :kiss:

I didnt see my boxer in the vid :(

 

But hey this is so cool :dance:

:lol:

In a way it doesn't matter that you didn't get to send a card - they're not really thinking about individuals, just the love & wishes that came their way from Coldplaying.com - you're a part of that, so you're a part of all the good feeling.

(that made sense in my head, doesn't look so good written down :rolleyes:)

I didn't send a postcard & that's exactly what I needed to hear from someone :\

Thanx Alison :kiss:

But seriously, I'm super happy for the success of this project :dance:

Thank you Debs, Lore, Chelsea & of course our very own SEMY! :cool:

I agree:) This is definitely an important day for us coldplayers:):D

 

Aw, its so cool you found yours! :D

 

I so desperately want to find mine. I was looking closer at this, and, I don't know.. part of me think that one above the one Will is holding might be mine? I can't tell :/

 

This was just so cool though *grins* I love that they took the time to make this video :nice:

I want to know who sent the postcard from Norfolk :D hehehehe!

IS THIS EVER GOING TO HAPPEN AGAIN??!!! IM HOPING THAT IT DOES BECAUSE I MISSED OUT ON THE FIRST CHANCE AND AM REALLY REGRETTING IT!!!! I'M SURE COLDPLAY WOULDN'T MIND ANOTHER BATCH OF THEM! =)

 

"GRAVITY RELEACE ME AND DON'T EVER HOLD ME DOWN" <3

"GRAVITY RELEACE ME AND DON'T EVER HOLD ME DOWN" <3

 

a) Learn to spell "release"

b) Tone it down on the caps

c) Not so many exclamation marks, my eyes burn

d) No.

 

In short, your post sucks. If you had READ, you'd already have this information.

I do have to admit, I'm going to be really sad in a few days when this thread dies down.

:(

 

I loved coming here, and every time i was so excited and anxious thinking about our postcards..

I'm proud to know that participating in this project was the first thing that brought me to this site, and just knowing that the guys got our cards, and loved them, and being able to see them and appreciate it is so rewarding and i'm very thankful for this project and all of you.

and COLDPLAY.

It was an awesome experience!!!

:D :D :D

pienso q

ups ... pienso que con ellos la vida puede cambiar en absoluto !!!:)es lo mejor que le podria pasar a alguian .... saber que personas como ello puedan volverse esenciales en la vida:thinking:wow es increible !!!!

 

.n.n.

You were still in diapers then missy. :P

 

I bought a set of crap seats just to make sure I get in. Dallas has zero security. I went to the Radiohead show and people from the lawn where all crammed in the aisles of the reserved section. Lori and I are waiting to see if there are some auctions. Houston is gonna be the same thing. :\

 

Maybe we could start another one. :D

 

Sounds like a good idea to me!

wish i could have sent one :cry: but oh well, great work guys :)!
