Now you know you can't pull him over for speeding on his bike should you happen to catch him flying through your jurisdiction, right?

Show was Aug 5th and I got it today, so one week exactly.

Sorry if this has already been answered but is everybody sending items via regular US Mail or using FedEx or another overnight service?? I'd prefer to use an overnight service and includce a prepaid overnight return envelope but I wanted to see if anybody had any success with this method before I did. I'm going to the Chicago show on 8/23.

 

Thanks so much

Regular mail - US Post Office. I'm sure a prepaid overnight return envelope would be fine.

 

The reason I don't recommend FedEx is because I think the individual on the crew who handles the mail drop just wants to make one stop. Can't blame him, really. No one would want to have to sort through all that and make trips to USPS, FedEx, UPS, DHL, etc., all in an unfamiliar town.

Good point....but I bet the items are sent via the venues regular mail procedures. I don't think that anyone from the crew is even involved.

Very cool that you got it back. Did you also send two items to be signed but only got one in return? Did the items need to be sent in separate packages (like, one was the book, the other a poster)? I'm still curious as to why only my album cover was signed but not the sheet music?

 

So now I have to re-mail the sheet music but that's fine because since I ended up going to the show, I now have my tour book which I would LOVE to be signed. I guess I'll attach a sticky note to the sheet music asking if Alex could sign it. Hopefully this will happen! I would be so grateful.

QUOTE (Janie @ Aug 11 2010, 02:45 PM) Well... I had sent a few things to the Seattle show. Two things that I really wanted signed, got one thing back. I had asked for picks and sticks too but didn't get any. That's ok though because I wasn't actually expecting them... just thought it would have been nice. BUT! Here is my signed item: http://i378.photobucket.com/albums/oo228/LifesonPics/Picture1300.jpg So, I am happy with it and it'll be framed soon and hanging next to my framed, signed S&A tour book. (I had sent in the guitar sheet music for SOR because that was the first song that hooked me but it came back, unsigned. I'm actually pretty damn bummed about that.) You know, I've noticed that Neil tends to take the time to personalize items. I imagine the names have to be pretty clearly attached to whatever it is he's signing, but my copy of Roadshow is personalized. Several other items that people have posted photos of also have names, in Neil's handwriting, above his signature.   Just saying, you know, it's Neil. . .doing a little something extra for fans. . . Well then, XOXO to Neil!

[The_Necromancer_77]

YES! I opened up the door today to find the envelope holding a photo of Rush I sent to be autographed Everyone signed it, and Neil even wrote 'To Kaitlin'. Cool Stuff! I'm so happy, I was shaking when I opened it up. I'm going to frame it with my Time Machine tickets

 

I'm kind of upset about my name being on it though, because originally it was going to be a gift for my boyfriend oh well.

Mainly, because I wanted Neil to sign the book, and Geddy to sign the pick guard off of my GL Jazz bass.   It would be way cool if I got that pick guard back, but it's no biggie, I guess. I was gonna put one of those sweet white pearl pick guards on there, like what Geddy has this tour!

What are people doing to send in vinyl sleeves? I'm just trying to figure out a way that would be cost effective and convenient for everyone on that end of the line. Has anyone sent in multiple items in one package? My friend and I both wanted to send our albums together, to save money on shipping. Just wanted to get some insight into it. Thanks!

I am thinking that it would be best to send the items individually. I don't think you would be saving a lot of $$.

I sent the packaging from my Rush Beyond The Lighted Stage DVD off to Red Rocks yesterday via priority mail. I was going to send my Moving Pictures album cover but it's pretty beat. I figured since they are at Red Rocks for a couple of days there's a good chance it would get signed and returned. Crossing my fingers and hoping that the Plane Of Dharma is kind to me....

You and me both because I sent the exact thing to RR yesterday

Question: So you just have to send your item to the address of the venue? And how far ahead of the show do should I send it?

Yes. Send it to the venue address.

 

This is what I did:

 

Name of venue

ATTN: RUSH/RUSH MANAGEMENT

Address

City, State, Zip

 

Mail your item so it arrives as close as possible to the show date. That way, it won't be sitting around for a long time. If something is sitting around for a long time, I would be afraid of it being misplaced or someone forgetting it or something.

Woo-hoo! I got my DVD back from Red Rocks yesterday. It was signed by all three guys and they even wrote "To Barry" on it. For some reason I am having problems uploading a pic of it though.

I posted this in the other autograph thread as well...but:

 

I mailed a copy of Permanent Waves to the Utah show. I got back from vacation last night and this was waiting cor me...the post office beat it up quite a bit (probably my own fault for not supplying more rigid packing material) but I am still really happy with it!!

[Tigershark2112]

I just sent a Moving Pictures cd sleeve to Columbus for them to sign. I also sent them an actual 4 leaf clover I found for good luck, though I mentioned on the sticky note that they wouldn't need it!

But I believe in good mojo...

I couldn't find a nice square mailer so I had to fold my album cover in half. I almost cried doing that. Seemed like such a sin! But I had no choice. I really wanted the guys to sign my Moving Pictures album.

 

I'm anxiously waiting to see if my items were signed back at the Wichita show. Hopefully I'll get them back later this week. I have no idea what to expect now after having an item returned to me a few weeks ago unsigned.

[GeminiRising79]

You fellers can send a poster. Just put a tube within a tube, ppm'd.

[zogoto]

I just got my albums back from Witchita (I live in California). I sent in "2112" and my friend's copy of "Fly By Night", along with a silver sharpie and a note explaining the two albums. Well, from what it looks like from my cover, the sharpie seems to have died mid-sign: Neil's is clear, but Geddy and Alex's are a bit faded, and they didn't sign "Fly By Night" at all. Should have tested the sharpie more thoroughly- still pretty neat thing to have. I'll post a pic later in the evening.

 

[Huskerspheres]

I had a poster signed. Geddy signed over Alex, they signed over the image versus wide open area and misspelled my name, but that makes it all the better. Good story to tell when explaining to friends.

So YOU got back an unsigned item too!? Why are some people getting multiple items signed yet some of us are getting things returned unsigned? Rush is being mysterious.

 

I can't believe you got your stuff back so soon. I sent my items to the Wichita show as well. Maybe they'll be in the mail today?

 

Cannot wait to see the pic!
