From the chat that Alex had with fans on 12/28/11
IMPORTANT MESSAGE FOR ALL: Alex’s birthday is just around the corner! Let’s pull our shit together!
Normally, when Alex’s birthday rolls around we do a typical “Happy Birthday” video. Those are getting pretty unoriginal and frankly, they’re boring and I’m tired of doing boring. This year, we’re going to do something a little more special for him.
I want everyone to send me a memory you have of Alex. It can be meeting him (if you have pictures, please, please, please, please send them in with your story), it can be a video chat story, it can be a Cobra concert, whatever memory you have of Alex, send it to me! If you don’t have a story in which you met Alex, or have pictures, that’s okay too, you can send me the reason why you love Alex, or if he’s inspired anything in your life, or any effect he has had on you, or just a plain old “happy birthday” message. Please include any of this information:
Name/Twitter name/Both (required)
City, State/Venue (optional)
Any extra notes (optional)
If you have any questions, please message me on either @TeamAlexSuarez or e-mail me at talexsuarez@hotmail.com, or send me a message here.
Get involved people! I want to make everything into a book and send it/give it to him for his birthday. The final deadline for stories will be March 26, 2012. Just because the date is far away, please don’t put of sending in your stories ): I really want this to be special, because Alex is such a special guy and deserves something new and fresh for his birthday :3
Thank you all so much for reading! Spread it around and get your fellow fangsters involved!
Alex answers your questions!
1. What is your favorite holiday? (from @Erinyzer)
christmas- good food, wary drinking aaand PRESENTS!
2. How was your visit to South America, specifically Chile? (from @sofiabernal)
insane! Never gonna get anything like it ever again. But for real, words can’t describe what that entire experience was like for us.
3. What music have you been listening to lately? What’s your all time favorite album? :-) (from suaxriza on tumblr)
no idea what my favorite all time album is, maybe Metallicas And Justice For All… ? I can think of at least 20 more I like as much as that one. As for listening to lately : holy ghost, the new Justice album Audio, Video, Disco, the new Feist album Metals, Jay Z blueprint, and a song by Toto called “child’s Anthem”. It’s a game changer I promise.
4. What do you usually eat for breakfast/lunch/dinner? (from @ RTlayoko)
no breakfast, usually lunch, I love sushi!!! (no fish)
5. Just want to know, do you still remember Indonesian Language? AKU CINTA KAMU! Love ara xxx (from @mutmess)
haha yup!
6. What were the most interesting things you found in Brazil? Why? (from @ giulianabm)
Caparrina- almost killed me.
7. Will there be a new This Is Ivy League album soon? (from @ EmTheEnigma)
no plans yet. We did start one a couple years ago but never finished.
8. What is something you’ve learned from your own mistakes? Any idea when the Cobras are coming back to Canada? Thanks. :) (from @SHEASYONCOBRA)
no idea about canada. Life lessons? Don’t count your eggs before they hatch.
9. What was your favorite part from the Latin America tour? (from anon)
the shows. Really truly unreal. Hopefully the biebs fans took a liking to us ;)
10. What was the craziest thing that happened on the Bieber tour? (from anon 2)
hmm JB taking a helicopter is pretty amazing. The whole experience being there, the shows, the flying, the airports packed with fans and the best food award goes out to …… Peru!
11. Being a fan from the beginning, I’ve had the opportunity to watch the band and the fanbase grow, as well as watching the band go from playing small shows to playing venues that pack 50,000 people. How do you feel about the band’s sudden popularity expansion in the past two years? Do you feel it’s changed the vibe between the band and the fans now that you have a much larger fanbase to reach out to? (from @tessmyers, and or, me.)
not at all. I mean, it’s not like 50,000 people were there to see us, we are just lucky that we got to perform in front of them. I think we are still tight with our fans. It’s always nice to see familiar faces at our shows and parties and we are still thankful that people stuck with us. I guess I won’t really know the feeling until we start touring -headlining- (btw no I do not know when) until then I’m really just an average neighborhood rat.
