the project is complete!
Thanks to everyone who helped make it possible. All the hardwork and cooperation really did pay off, so give yourselves a pat on the back or have a drink or something!
For others who have just tuned in, sorry you missed out! It was a lot of fun and worthwhile. If you're not sure what the project is, check out the FAQ for more info.
The band and their management did indeed receive the book and have given positive feedback :]. Ellie got the chance to speak [shortly] to Albert, Matt, Fab, and Ryan; all who have said they liked it. So that's pretty cool, right?
Also, to view the book in it's completion, view the blogs. We are currently trying to work on a Fan's Edition of the book due to popular demand, but we first have to work out some strings, i.e. permission from the band and management, so it might be a while till then.
Oh and don’t forget to subscribe to the blog to be updated on anything involving the book
Don't hesitate to look around on this page and to read the blogs. You may find a few surprises ;).

NO HATEMAIL!
frankly, we don't have time for your mindless indulgences, so fuck off if all you're going to do is bitch. we'll delete you if you're caught :P. assholes ...
and we don't want to be mean, but please don't vent out on strokes girls here i.e. juliet & amanda. they haven't done anything to hurt you, other than "marrying your man" or w.e. this is a group effort to show the strokes how important they & their music are to us, not to tell them how much we hate their wives
or taste in women or w.e.
much appreciated.
DON'T JOCK
as in claiming this idea for your own, unoriginal baystuhds...same goes for the pictures/icons we photoshop :P
what's this project about?
it's basically a scrapbook for the strokes for making such great music since the release of their first album
the scrapbook includes a song section where fans worldwide turned in artsy photographs that visually interpret the songs from each album as well as b-sides and unreleased songs
in addition, there's a section for fan art as well as about 3+ pages of messages from the fans to the band. Click here to view the books exterior look and a couple pages from it.
have they
received it yet?

-updated- Yes they have :D Or so the management says, since they have received and replied with a post card of thanks. clicky to read details and view the card
which song did he say
was great in the video?

We actually have no idea which picture he said it to. It was dark and he was flipping through the pages at a pace so we couldn't really see. Besides, we don't want to stur up any competition :P haha.
what's project F.A.B about?
It was an attempt to raise money to make another copy in time for the Feb 14th concert @ the Troub., but since not that many people volunteered and it was short notice, we decided to call it off.
still have questions that have been unanswered here in the FAQ? go ahead and send a message and we'll see to answering the best we can. May 26, 2007 3:11
