Does City and Colour mean a lot to you? When you listen to their music, do you find yourself wishing you could thank them for everything they’ve done? Whether it’s relentlessly touring, planning meet & greets, hanging out after the show to talk to fans, giving to charities, holding contests or making incredible music, Dallas and the boys are some of the most generous musicians ever, and they deserve some praise. That’s why we started Body in a Box: Letters to City and Colour - to remind them that the fans truly appreciate all they do for us. Of course, the more the merrier. If there’s anything you’ve ever wanted to tell them and never had the opportunity to put it all out, here’s your chance! HOW IT WORKS Just mail us your letter and we’ll do the rest. Feel free to decorate the envelope if you’d like - it’s going in the book, too! Once we receive your correspondence, we’ll turn it into a page in our book, a design inspired largely by badbooks’ mail book. We’ll stick the envelope your letter came in to the front of an envelope, like so:
And your letter will be placed safely inside the envelope, which will be clasped shut to keep anything from spilling out:
We’ll then put the envelope containing your letter in our binder, which we’ll present to the band ourselves at a future show.
WHAT WE’RE LOOKING FOR Letters, photos, drawings, poems, small nonperishable, noncombustible, nonhazardous items, mix CDs, and anything that can lay neatly in a standard 9”x6” manila envelope. Be creative and have fun with what you send. Anything you think the band would like is welcome and encouraged. WHAT WE WON’T ACCEPT Suggestive propositions, explicit photos or poems, anything liquid, anything flammable, weapons, living creatures, bulky items. Your letters will be proofread and screened for any inappropriate content. If it contains anything we deem explicit, flirtatious, violent, rude, belittling or unnecessary, it will be disposed of. Of course we acknowledge that City and Colour is comprised of some handsome gentlemen, but the project serves only to thank them for their music and generosity, not their physical appearances. If you have any questions about what you’re sending, feel free to contact us at our ask page or email us at colourandcity@gmail.com. FAQs
email us at colourandcity@gmail.com for the address!
We’d be happy to black out your address on your envelope if you’re uncomfortable having it given out. Your privacy is very important to us. Simply include a note with your letter to let us know that you’d like your address hidden.
Of course! If you’d rather send your letter via email instead of snail mail, just send it to colourandcity@gmail.com and we’ll print it out for you. Let us know if you’d like your email address shown in the letter.
At present, we have no deadline, so take your time preparing everything you need. City and Colour is not currently touring, but when they announce dates, we will give a deadline. We are more than willing to travel not only for a show, but to make sure the project is received by the band. We will be updating this blog regularly with photos and information as the project progresses, so be sure to follow us and check back! As always, if you have any questions about the project, don’t be shy - we’d love to hear from you. 8 notes:
