Coldplaying Christmas Project 2010?

[a-chan]

Haha, I pulled all-nighters while we worked on PFFA, not because of my work, but because I couldn't get off the project thread :lol: Jaffa cakes...

:awesome: miss that too!! Tha wait until the distribution was the best part I remember... :lol:

[ApproximatelyInfinite]

I remember I skipped class the day we knew the video would come out :lol:. That's a big deal for me to skip class: I seriously only do it for Coldplay-related things or emergencies.

 

And I remember spending a lot of time waiting for various emails from Debs...oh, memories :wacky:

 

Anyway, my point is that we started to plan this in October so we could have it done by Christmas, and in the end we had to extend it to January anyway for various reasons, so you can see how long it really does take.

I remember the WAKE UP LORE! posts

 

it was weird :freak:

 

And when Debs told us she could get a PO Box for us, she was so nice

[ApproximatelyInfinite]

I almost thanked her in person two years later this week for all that she did for us, but I didn't want to make it sound like I was trying to be all "LOOK AT ME, I'M ONE OF THE ONES THAT DID THAT PROJECT, REMEMBER ME?" so I didn't say anything :P.

:laugh3: I remember everybody's fuss and Debs wanting to wait for you since you started all this.... We owe you and everybody who organised it BIG TIME :hug:

Oh, you should have! She would have been super lovely about it, I'm sure :nice:

The thing I liked most about this is that it was a big chance to meet new people here in the board :blush: :hug:

You guys make me wanna be a part of a big project like Postcards From Far Away. ;)

It was an AMAZING project that I'll never forget - THANK YOU for that!! :)

I can't imagine how it must have been to organize it!

I hope I'll be able to do that one day. Must be cool :cool:

[Lore]

I'd love to have something like that again, but something original and well planned of course :)

[laga]

First of all, no idea what Jaffa cakes are but you all seem obsessed with them, so they must be good! :P

 

Joking aside, I really got involved in this cause I thought it would work and it was a good idea to thank the guys for these last few days and all the surprises they’ve given us as fans and also as a community. I have not been around here as a member for long, therefore I don’t really know how the whole PFFA project worked. I wasn’t here and I could not follow the day by day progress, so well, basically thank you for pointing out the lack of time thing.

 

I think in a way it was taken into account, hence the idea of doing something in a virtual way, since it would be easier to coordinate. I wasn’t the one who initiated this project of a project (or whatever you want to call it :P) but I think it was never meant to be as ambitious as the PFFAP. It was something simpler, smaller.

 

Now, I understand your reasons for not agreeing with it and that’s why I think it has been a bit of a disappointment seeing this might not work since we got excited with it at first. The thing is, if something is going to be done, I feel it should have the consent and the blessing of the majority of the community since that’s why, even if we are all different, we are all here, I guess for the same reasons and we want the best for everyone. I still think it could be done, if the people involved are really committed to it and we get lots of people willing to participate. However, if it is as it is now, then I think we should wait, since I wouldn’t like to be part of something that doesn’t represent us all.

 

The lack of time might be a very serious issue and well, basically that’s it. I think the person who came up with the idea did it with the best of intentions at heart and in a genuine attempt to thank the band for all we have got in the last few days, even if some of us did not directly take part.

If it is not now, I hope we could really do something beautiful and sincere in the future.

 

Sorry for the super long post :shame:

photos, always a bad idea in my book, when you look like me you'd understand!

You could paint a picture? it could be a picture that represents you rather than it actually being you...right?

Oh, of course it's a very nice idea but the time frame we have to work with is just a bit tight, to be honest! I'm sure we'll come up with something brilliant to do for them concerning LP5 :nice:

[Noémie]

Thanks for your post and your explanations Laga. (don't worry, it wasn't that long!) :P

I understand your POV.

I'm sure we'll be able to do something GREAT in the future. Coldplayers are always full of new and creative ideas! :)

[Technicolor Liver]

Coldplay stole my idea on Twitter! :veryangry2:

[Technicolor Sparks]

Ok...so is the project a go or a no?

 

I'm too lazy to read all the posts since I was last on. :P

[Technicolor Liver]

A no! :(

Did you see Coldplay's twitter?

[Technicolor Sparks]

I don't have Twitter! What did it say? :uhoh:

[Technicolor Liver]

They asked for fans to send them links to pictures of the people standing next to Christmas Lights. :dozey:

[Technicolor Sparks]

That was my idea! :wideeyed:

[Technicolor Liver]

Good job! :thumbsup:

[Technicolor Sparks]

Maybe they saw my post! :dance:

 

hahaa probably not...its not exactly the most original idea of life. :P

[Technicolor Liver]

They could have seen the thread? :thinking:

[Technicolor Sparks]

Maybe! :wideeyed:

 

I guess it's probably best about the project. Everyone is pretty busy around this time of year so we wouldn't have gotten as many participants as we would've liked.

[Technicolor Liver]

Yeah. :shrug:
