Hey guys :)

 

I'm starting a little Coldplay art project I thought some of you may like to join in with: a book of letters to Coldplay.

Fans come from everywhere around the globe. We sit in our bedrooms, loungerooms, bathrooms, kitchens, cars, buses, trains, trams, classrooms, offices and shops and listen to the music that five men from Britain have made for us. And we listen to this music in every corner of the earth; simply soaking in the amazingness of Coldplay. If a Coldplayer from Buenos Aires and a Coldplayer from Paris met, they may not speak the same tongue, but they certainly would speak the same language: MUSIC. You don't need to be from the same country to share the love you have for Coldplay. And this is what amazes me from day to day about Coldplay fans. We are accepting of all walks of life. The fandom wouldn't be the same without our passion and enthusiasm.

 

So, I aim to get letters from Coldplayers all over the world and have them bound into a book. In September (when I visit London), I will do everything within my power to get this book to at least one of the members of Coldplay. If I meet them, I will take a photo of them with the book - just so we have some evidence! But even if I don't meet them, I'll try and give it to someone from their crew. And if the band themselves don't actually read it or get it? I don't think it matters. Fact is we have a hard-copy of a book full of Coldplayer passion and love :P

 

 

I would really love it if you'd like to join up. The deadline for submitting letters is July 10th 2013, so if you want to write a letter you have plenty of time! Below are the guidelines that you should try and follow when writing your letter:

- the size needs to be one side of an A4 page to keep it neat!

- it would be more personal if you hand wrote the letter. I will of course accept typed letters, but hand-written is better :)

- you should write in English. It would make it easier for the band to read. If your English isn't great, that's ok! I'm sure we'll understand what you're trying to say.

- at the bottom of the page please write these things: your name, your city, your country, your online names (e.g. Twitter, Tumblr, Instagram). If you don't feel comfortable including these details you can leave them out :)

 

 

Once you've finished your letter, you can scan it or take a high quality photo of it, and send it to my project's email address, which is:

 

[email protected]

 

Also, if you're a bit of an arty kind of person, I'm thinking about doing an art section of the book. The artworks can be of anything Coldplay related. They can be paintings, drawings, poems, Photoshop edits, etc. Anything goes really! Same thing as the letters: please scan them/take a photo of them, and send them to that email address.

 

Pretty sure that's it... if you have any questions, ask away!

 

Thanks heaps guys! I hope some of you write letters for our boys :D

From April xx

Oh that's nice! :wacko:

 

When I have time (so, not now lol) i might send you something! :D

It's a big project, isn't it? :nice:

 

Oh I need to think what I'm going to write. :)

This is a great idea!!

 

I'd love to join in, I will!!! :D

 

Ill include a letter and some art, if that's okay:).

 

And I hope it goes to plan too, I sent some art into a Coldplayer project last October and I'm assuming that's gone down the drain because still nothing :/.

 

Good luck, can't wait :)!!

Wait, wasn't there something like this last year? Called the "Coldplaying Project" or so? Where people were to sent concert reports and pictures and all that :huh:

^ There was, indeed. It became a 40 minute long video:

^ ah thanks!

^^ I thought the video was something to wait until the final book project :sad:

So i didn't participate in the video :sad:

 

Oh well. I'll definitely participate in this book!

It's a big project, isn't it? :nice:

Yay! I'm glad :D

Ok cool! Yes, definitely include art. I'd like that! Hmm, yeah I wondered what ever happened to that... Well don't worry, I'll follow through with this project ;)

Yes there was, I put a lot of effort in that and haven't heard from it since :(

It's this one by Joana

I like the idea, but wouldn't it be more sincere if the letters were sent via normal mail. I am not sure the photos or scans would be as good. Perhaps I am just old fashioned.

Oh, I saw something about this on Instagram! :D I'd love to be part of this!

Yeah I agree with this^ :nod:

But isn't it more complicated to organize then ? It may also be very expensive for some people who live far away from London, and therefore may discourage a lot of people.

Well that's exactly the reason I asked people to scan it/take a photo of it. Besides, if we're getting it bound into a book, people would have to send them to me and I live in Australia. The idea was it's not expensive for people to join up.

BUMP

 

the result looks amazing! :wacko:

Sounds like a great idea! I'm in!

^ the book is finished now, it's too late to join :\

I literally just read about 2 minutes before posting this that the deadline was in July... :confused: My brain has not started working today. :uhoh:

haha that happens :p

haha. Yeah I suppose so. Are there any pictures or video of the finished product? :)

yes there are, I won't post them here because the pictures are huge, but you can find everything here :)

Wow, that looks really legit! Wish I could have taken part in it, but bravo! Did you guys end up getting it to Coldplay?

I think so too!

It's Viva_La_Coldplay's project, I think she goes to London in September or so
