Craig, congrats to you, I am sure your meeting will be etched in your mind and heart forever, and that is what life's all about!!!:)

LOL, by the sounds of it, he went to the beehive and just knocked on the door! Well, maybe not, but congrats either way ;)

Simon Baker :heart:

 

the mentalist :P

But he is..

He looks like Ross Geller.

 

Lolz.

He was okay until he got his ear pierced. :blank:

^:lol:

LOL, by the sounds of it, he went to the beehive and just knocked on the door! Well, maybe not, but congrats either way ;)

Where is the Beehive, anyway? Is it like super-secret, on the down-low stuff? Anyone know? All I can get is North London. Just curious. Don't think I'm gonna do anything weird, though. I'd have to fly a few thousand miles. :laugh3:

no one tell him :P

no one tell him :P

Yeah, I'm a noob.

No one actually knows where it is.....yet.

 

If someone does, YOU'RE VERY CREEPY. :borg:

^wait i thought it was at the place that someone said it was at with the blue door :confused:

Say what.

 

Well I guess I wouldn't know anyways.

 

 

I couldn't care less where it is. It's not like I could go there.

Craig, congrats! :thumbsup: I understand your reasons for not telling more as it's probably the best for the band.

There are no words for how jealous I am though. :wacko:

:thumbsup:

;)

 

 

Is it wrong that I think Chris Martin's ugly? :disappointed:

Yes! :disappointed: Well, at least here... it is so off-topic. :P

But he is..

He looks like Ross Geller.

:wtf: As much as I don't agree and love Chris' looks, I didn't expect that comparison! :lol:

No one actually knows where it is.....yet.

 

If someone does, YOU'RE VERY CREEPY. :borg:

Yes, we do know where it is... Check the Beehive thread. I guess that makes the majority of the regulars on coldplaying creepy. :lol:

Woah, lucky you! :nice:

 

I think if I ever met any of them I'd be so starstruck that I'd act like a complete red-faced mumbling idiot. :embarrassed:

 

That's exactly what i was just thinking:P

 

 

congrats anyway, you're so lucky!!!:nice:

:D

Thank you to the people who have replied btw.

 

Like I said I can't give any details about how/where/why it happened, but its not what anyone has suggested or guessed on here anyway!

 

I can say what happened, but only briefly though. I'll just tell some of my conversation with Chris and Phil, which was around 20-25 minutes long! After introductions, we spoke about various things, firstly about how he and coldplay are my inspiration, and he is a personal hero of mine. At which point I said " I'm a bit nervous, You just dunno how it feels to meet your heroes" ... then I backtracked thinking that he probably has met them! He went on to say "I have met some of them, but not all, and not Bob Dylan, he is the one I've always wanted to meet but it has never happened"

 

I went on to say that I'm trying to find the way of becoming successful in the music industry, and how I believe the Coldplay story is a pretty good one to follow-suit from. My friend then commented "Yeh, we just need our own Chris Martin!" to which he replied "What? Why the hell would you want a cock like Chris Martin in your band?!" ... I burst with laughter, he is so charming and funny.

 

Next we spoke about our name for the band once we are ready to get going finally. He asked us what our name was actually gonna be, and I said "We have a couple of names to consider, firstly The Calligraphers, but I'm not certain of how good that is", he replied "that is a fucking great name, seriously, that name is fantastic!" then Phil said "Yeh, I kinda can't believe no other bands have thought of that as a name before, its really good"... I said "Oh well I think I should go with that then right?" Chris asked "What was the other one you had?" And I said "Audiomnik"... Chris just said it as plain as day "That is shit" I was like "Really? thanks haha" then he said "Yeh that is shit, it sounds like a couple of tw-ats with a drum machine. Some crap you would hear at 3am and think what a piece of shit" ... I agreed, and said "so you think I should go with The Calligraphers then right?" he looked at Phil, and smiled, and replied "You have got to go with that, its such a great name, and people will be interested in it, they will wonder what it is you play, and how you sound, and Coldplay fans will like it thats for sure!" ...(no comment haha) --- edit, go see The Calligraphers

 

So, from now on, that is the name for this band/project which will always be my main focus whilst trying to achieve anything.

 

He said on LP5 that he got wrong for saying it would be out for Christmas and could not gaurantee it, but he was pretty confident :D

 

 

We talked about a number of other things, and it was the greatest 20 minutes I've ever had, I want to share as much as I possibly can, without revealing some things I have personally promised not to reveal. I have read this over and over, and it does not say anything too important lol, thanks for the people who are genuinely interested, and I'm delighted to share this with you :)

thanks great story! :D

I don't think it's that surprising, really, that you met them considering your location. But still awesome, for sure!

The Calligraphers <--- Check us out, nothing much there yet lol, but add us, you won't regret it!

Thanks Craig :D

Sorry Ian, PDQ??
