QUOTE (jasonw2112 @ Sep 25 2012, 04:45 PM) I got it!!!!! My holy grail, of all signatures! I sent an 8x10 photo, along with a postcard with the Grace Under Pressure artwork. They signed the postcard, and spelled my name jayson? But that's fine by me! I'm just happy I got something back! Many thanks to those who provided all the info on getting their signatures! Dude, that's hilarious because THE SAME EXACT THING HAPPENED TO ME. My name is Jason also and Neil mis-spelled my name as "Jayson" when he sign one of his books I sent. Funny and unique, sort of.

Realize they only have so much time to devote to this stuff...maybe send the photo for your brother to another venue? I would imagine they would limit their time to one item, especially if there is a lot of stuff waiting for them. Oh I'm not the least bit upset that they only signed one of the two photos. I'm just eternally grateful that they even signed one of them and returned the other one with it. In fact, my brother told me not to bother sending it to another venue to try and be signed because he doesn't really get into collecting signatures. He's just happy to be in the photo, commemorating that great show. I've been following this for a long time and see a clear pattern - When people send multiple items to be signed in a single package, ONLY ONE WILL GET SIGNED. This is, I'm sure, something their management does to fend off greedy signature-seekers. It's that simple. I'm just sayin......

You really have to give it up to the guys of Rush for doing these type of things for the fans. Not to many big bands would do something like that. And thanks to everyone on this board for the info. I would never of known you could do something like this. Anyone know any good frames for album covers? Both Michaels and A.C. Moore sell decent metal/glass vinyl album frames for under $10 apiece. Look for local coupons in the newspaper flyers or on their websites to get a discount. Or you could go the "custom framing" route and pay a lot more.

QUOTE (therm316 @ Sep 18 2012, 08:05 PM) what's the typical turn around time if you get something back? Mine took about a week.

I honestly don't understand the hate towards Working Man. It represents their beginnings - their roots - what got them noticed in the first place. For full disclosure, I have a sentimental place for that song since I played it in my high-school basement band back in the late 70's. I smile every time I see them perform this song live. Always will too.

QUOTE (FenderJazz42 @ Sep 15 2012, 09:35 AM) If they do tour again they have a lot of damage control to fix. There are so many people that are so disappointed that we bought expensive tickets to hear 9 or so songs off of Clockwork Angels. Noone I have talked t was disappointed. You, sir, are definitely in the minority. The show was EXCELLENT (production and setlist) and the band is at the top of their game. Ironically, I think Rush is in the minority as well, when compared to their piers - they are actually progressing as performing artists and MOST of us couldn't be happier. Damage control??? Inconcievable!! Rush have consistently presented a HEAPING helping of new material from their new albums in recent years - this should be no surprise to anyone that is a supposed fan and has been paying attention. If you choose to sit the next tour out as a protest, I doubt you will be missed.

I actually think it is funny and unique. Cool! But that's kinda strange! I bet he did that on purpose! Since there alot of jason's in the world (myself included!), to prevent resale of the book. Possibly, but I don't think so. I have other books that Neil has signed for me over the years, but this is the first time he mis-spelled my name. Probably just a goof on his part. Just my opinion. I still think it is funny and unique at the same time. No complaining at all, mind you.....

QUOTE (therm316 @ Sep 15 2012, 11:25 AM) Silly question, but did any of you that got your stuff back send a sharpie with it? I did that the first time, but haven't bothered since. They get MANY sharpies from everyone doing this and never return them. Waste of money to include one in your package.

QUOTE (digitalmike @ Sep 15 2012, 11:19 AM) Hello to the forum, 1st post here! For those who have had success at getting their LP sleeves returned, how exactly did you package them for shipment? I figure it should be as easy for them as possible but I wasn't sure exactly how without getting damaged when they are returned. Thanks, digitalmike - Got to Staples and buy two 14 1/4" X 19" padded envelopes. - get 2 squares of corrigated cardboard the size of an album. - Insert the album, sandwiched between the 2 cardboard squares, into on padded envelope (include a handwritten note as a personal touch). - fold the second padded envelope in half and insert inside the first envelope. Address the outer envelope to the venue C/O Liam Birt, Tour Manager. Address the inner (return) envelope to yourself. Take everything to the post office, have them weigh everything and apply pre-paid postage to both envelopes. This has worked for me.

Has anyone received their SIGNED items from the Bristow VA show yet? I'm still waiting.....

My wife and I (Jason & Tammy) had a blast meeting and hanging out with all of you at this show. Good times and GREAT SHOW!! Keep in touch.

I looked at the seating chart for my venue (Jiffy Lube Live - Bristow VA) and the ORCH seats only have 19 rows anyways. The vast majority of people in ORCH will be within the first 15 rows anyways. Just sayin.

My wife and I ended up with 102, Row P, 50 & 51. Respectable, but not awesome. I shouldn't complain since I've seen Rush from the front row twice in my lifetime already. Once here @ Nissan Pavilion & once @ Hershey PA.

QUOTE (jmdyyz @ Apr 17 2011, 10:02 AM) sometimes they never get to them & are lost- It sucks!!! other times they will only sign 2 items I wish they had rules on their website for this I hear you. I would just like my items back, signed or unsigned, at this point.
