Street Team One Year Anniversary Memories Thread

[tokiohoteluk]

Dear all,

Today is the one year anniversary of the Official UK Street Team opening on Myspace!!

In that year we have had a bumpy ride, not only on the Street Team, but in the UK.

We have laughed, cried tears of frustration and raged, but we've always persevered. Through disappointments and lies, and we have remained ever hopeful in the face of changing goalposts.

As a UK fanbase, we have promoted for a year. We have taken to the streets and handed out flyers we've made ourselves, we have converted friends one by one, we've posted and voted and done everything a TH fan should do.

It's been a busy year!

Some of you are new members and some of you are old members, but you're all awesome. Please use this thread to post your memories of the street team over the last year. Good ones, bad ones, any that stand out.

I'll go first:

• I remember spending hours researching street teams when I was first asked to start this one so I knew exactly what I should be doing to make this the BEST street team possible.
  
• I remember the frustration of never getting anything from the record label to help us promote and watching as the single did badly. :/
  
• I remember how amazing the June concert was last year and how much everyone enjoyed the glowsticks I provided. LOL.
  
• I remember the first meet-up and thinking like 20 people would show and ending up with far more.
  
• Voting hours and hours a day for the MTV EMAs and then watching it ON MY TV with excitement and almost crying when they won an award. LOL.
  
• I remember the lottery and how much of my time it took up every Tuesday and Thursday. LOL. And people getting so excited. And how it was a good time for the street team.
  
• Interviewing the band for the street team interview and getting some pretty amazing answers. And seeing Bill's star like right there in my face. Haha.
  
• And, of course, meeting so many awesome people long the way. The moderators and all the people that have been to the meet-ups and all the people I'm yet to meet in real life, but have been a pleasure to know online.
  

So what are yours??

ive hardly been around through any of this
but just watching the whole street team grow
it makes me so happy
everytime i see a new member its makes me hopeful
my memories are finding tokio hotel
a year ago
but forgetting them after i missed the gig
then turning on my tv and watching MTV and remembering why i loved them to begin with
wanting to just gossip with someone about TH for ages and finally finding nicole

then the forum
finding it and completely loving it
everyone on here
everyone i spoke to
then the MU seeing how many people were there
and just all of them having a good time
made me so happy
i actually dont think id even be a fan anymore if it wasnt for this forum
it keeps me going on the bad days
keeps me happy on the good days
where would i be without it and without every single one of you
probably no where very good

[-kels-]

*gets out party poppers* lets party! =D
some of my memories are:
- adding the THUKST myspace before Tokio Hotel's one xD
- meeting cool people on the forum
- the June concert ;D
- The EMA's
- Being able to get a TH single in my local HMV
- Meet up's one and two
- knowing even when I had a crap day at school I would be cheered up when I got home by some pretty awesome people.
- Signing up to this forum straight after I read the bulletin
- watching more and more members join

and really the Street team made me want to help and get involved more with Tokio Hotel - if it wasnt for the ST then I would have most probs just been a person who just listens to their music and know nothing about them. Also I dont think I would have interacted more with others on the internet or have become a mod on tokiohotel.org.uk or have like at least a third of my msn contacts that are TH fans! =D

I wont post any bad memories as really, the good ones will weigh out the bad ones

Great thread. ;D

So, I remember ...........

* Being a sad, lonely TH fan for way too long, before I found this place.
* Reading this board, and wanting so badly to join, but not having the guts ( LOL ). And I went away for a while but I couldn`t stop thinking about it, so then I did register.
* Everyone was so friendly - but I will always remember Susi for being the person who really made me feel comfortable and also being the first person to comment on my myspace. Lol. ;D
* Laughing out loud. For the first time in a very long time.
* Feeling part of something, like I `belong` somewhere.
* Getting to know all of you - and realising that every single person was awesome ;D
* Finally having something to do in the long hours of my insomnia.
* Bill getting sick and all the emotions that came with that. And sharing it, and going through it with you guys. And then Claire and the mods coming to our rescue by organizing the fan package and giving us something to focus on.
* Doing my ten day silence for Bill and the Street Team. That was so awesome purely because of the support I got from people. I actually miss writing my blog and the funny conversations me and kiri had about chalkboards lol.
* Being devastated that I couldn`t come to the fan meet. And how amazing some people were in trying to cheer me up. Thanks people.
* BEING ASKED TO BE A MOD!!! Omg, I will never be able to put into words how gob smacked and totally honoured I was / am / and always will be.
* The picture Skye posted of Bill and Tom. Whenever I feel cr*p - that will make me laugh.
* Just sitting in front of the computer smiling and thinking - I love you guys! ( the Street Team I mean! )
* Making so many friends, and making plans and stuff. ;D

ICH LEIBE DICH MUCHSI MUCHSI!

My memories:

*Joining the forum and being utterly scared for fear of my sister starting a hate group against me, which later she assured me she was joking about, she didnt actually know how self-conscious I was then, and paranoid of what people would think about me. Silly Me ^.^
*Being really shy and then on teh same day begging people to chat with me on random chat in order to go completely over Orli's posts ;D
*Being sad about not being at the meet-up, getting even sadder when salma started crying then watching her cheer up when i bought her a ice cream.
*BIEING TOLD YOU GUYS SAVED A KEYRING FOR ME!! ;D
*Making lots of friendies.
*Being a crazy idiot and people not really minding!
*Having people I could ever actually talk to about private stuff
*LOVING YOU GUYS.

I'm too happy to carry on
