Remember Final Day UK on 7th March? The day UK Tokio Hotel fans got together to make our voices heard. Didn’t it feel good to be a part of it and to know that if only for one day we would get noticed and could our presence make felt?

UK Tokio Hotel fans crashed the Head of Universal UK's blackberry! (Sorry Lucian!)

So, are you ready for part two?

http://i26.tinypic.com/301lp2o.gif (http://tokiohoteluk.proboards52.com/index.cgi?action=display&board=new&thread=616)

It's time to remind the powers that be we are here. Here’s your chance to get involved again and show what the UK fan base can achieve when working together. We won’t be forgotten and we won’t give up!

The fan action:

This time we want it to be a more visual fan action to really make an impact, so we will be sending postcards. The cards are aimed at Frank Briegmann, Head of Universal Germany. He makes decisions and we want him to consider at least starting some Tokio Hotel promotion in the UK later this year (we have it on good authority that they're conflicted about this). The EMAs are the perfect opportunity, we're all hoping for it, so let’s make sure they get to know about this and that we are here, ready and waiting in anticipation.

The rules:

• Send a postcard (or two!) of your hometown (or if you can’t get any, alternatively the area you live in) to Frank Briegmann. This is important as this fan action is also to show that there are TH fans all over the UK.

• Your postcard needs to show the following text:

Dear Mr Briegmann,

We want Tokio Hotel in the UK ready for the EMAs! We heard you may be able to squeeze us in this autumn... please don't wait until 2009!

{insert your name}

• Every postcard needs to bear this standard text. It connects all the cards to our fan action.

• Feel free to decorate and TH-fy the back of your card. Make it pretty and individual! Just don’t obscure the original message.

• Send your postcard on Monday, 16th June 2008 to:

Frank Briegmann
Universal Music
Stralauer Allee 1
10245 Berlin
GERMANY

• Stamp information: you’ll need one stamp for Europe, worth 50p (alternatively you can use 1 x large 1st class, 52p or 2 x 2nd class, adding up to 54p) and if available stick an Airmail sticker on your postcard, too. If not, write it on!

• Finally, don't miss out on adding your participation to the Final Day UK blog (http://finaldayuk.wordpress.com/)! Remember all the letters during the first round? Well we want your photos! Take a picture of your postcard before you post it and send it along to us: [email:2px808gj]tokiohoteluk@gmail.com[/email:2px808gj]

All the photos we receive will be posted on the blog so that it will be full of all the details of the UK fans and their awesome activism!

Finally

Just as important as your own involvement is to spread the word about this so we can reach as many UK Tokio Hotel fans as possible. The more people participate the bigger the impact we can make. Like last time, it’s essential that you spread the word about this fan action and get as many people as possible to send a postcard, too. Take the banner and put it on your on-line profiles, send bulletins etc. When doing so please make sure to forward all the information given above.

Let’s make it happen and show that our Final Day hasn’t come yet!

EDIT: ENSURE YOU SEND THE POSTCARD ON THE 16TH! (One or two days after is ok, but the point is to send them all on the same day for the biggest impact. Please emphasise this when you spread the word.)

Great guys! Just don't send your cards before 16th June. It will make a bigger impact if they all get send on the same day.

If you can't get a card of your home town, use a card of the area you live in or just any card relating to it. The idea behind the home town themed cards is only to show that Tokio Hotel fans are spread accross the UK.

Do NOT post your cards before 16th June please! Thanks.

I couldn't find any to do with Wales either (and couldn't get to Cardiff before the deadline) so I made one on photoshop =D looks just as good as a proper postcard!

Manchester doesn't have any touristy postcards? :shock: It's a well-known city ...

http://www.aidan.co.uk/md/ManGorSunnyBrowPk4x7716.jpg

You can use any postcard really. Doesn't have to be Manchester if you're struggling to fine one. It would be just nicer if it were postcard from all over the UK to show how fans are spread accross the UK.

Cool, Electr0-Girl. Creativity is good. :mrgreen:

Don't forget to take pics of your cards before you send them on Monday and send them to the email address mentioned in the start post. Then they'll get posted in the Final Day blog and everybody can have a look. Plus, we'll get an idea of roughly how many cards got sent.

You can always find a 'bunk of blank postcards' where you can design the cover yourself (draw, stick a picture of your flag).
Those are found in Woolworths.

Hey I'm busy like ALL Monday, morning to night.
Too late to post the next day?

forumadmin
12.06.2008, 09:53
Kim, can you pop in a post box on Sunday? The post doesn't get picked up on Sunday, so your card will get picked up on Monday and will go along with the rest of them.

Otherwise, Tuesday would totally be fine. :P

midori

ok...im going to sound really stupid here but i'm confused about stamps. can we put just one of those gold 1st class stamps on it?? the normal ones??

forumadmin
14.06.2008, 22:09
No because it costs more to send post to Germany. You could put two of those on and it would get there. Otherwise, go to your post office and ask for 50p stamp or show them your postcard. :)

Claire

midori
14.06.2008, 22:16
Yeah, like Claire said only 1 x 1st class wouldn't be enough postage as a 1st class stamp is only 36p. You need a minimum of 50p on the card. Anything less is not enough, anything over is obviously fine.

You can use:

1 x stamp for Europe (50p)

or

1 x large 1st class (52p)

or

2 x 2nd class (27p each x 2 = 54p)

or

1 x 2nd and 1 x 1st class (27p + 36p = 63p)

or

2 x 1st class, which is the normal size one you mean, Abel (36p each x 2 = 72p; that's the most expensive option and you should only use it if you can't get any other stamps or are just not bothered that it's more postage than is required :P)

Your card looks really cool, 3mma! :D

Abel
14.06.2008, 22:26
thanks guys! damn, i went out and bought those today <_< oh well, guess they can have the extra postage because i cant get any more. im going to go decorate it now XD i swear im retarded when it comes to 'old' methods of communication. i cant even use normal phones >.<
