John-Sheffield Posted May 8, 2010 Share Posted May 8, 2010 On this subject I was wondering if anyone in the States would be prepared to do me a huge favour..... Unfortunately im not able to get across the pond to see a show - hopefully Europe and the UK will follow.... My son who is 8 is a huge fan and I want to get a birthday card signed by the band for him.....it would make his year!! Would anyone therefore be prepared to forward a card on to a venue to hopefully get signed...and then forward it onto me?? I will of course send some cash to cover the price of postage to the venue, for the SAE and back to the UK... Its hard because i dont know the price of postage in the US and how to get hold of valid stamps etc.... I would really appreciate someones help on this so please if you can help send me a message and we can take it from there.... Many thanks for reading this!

greg2112 Posted May 8, 2010 Share Posted May 8, 2010 QUOTE (Tarkus407 @ May 6 2010, 07:48 PM) I don't really know if I trust that the autographs people recieve are really signed by Rush....A long time ago my father used to send stuff to Dale Earnhardt and have it come back with personalized autographs but then it came out that it wasn't even him signing the stuff...BIG disappointment...so unless they send a photo of Rush signing my stuff along with it, I wouldn't trust it Im with you here. Id much rather see the item get signed to ensure its authentic. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ProfGumby Posted May 13, 2010 Share Posted May 13, 2010 I think I will send a bass guitar pickguard for Geddy to sign and the sleeve of a Hemispheres picture disk for all 3 to sign....this is cool! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just have it sent from the UK; that way you won't have to worry about US stamps, yes? Ask your postal service how long it would take to get to whichever venue and prepare accordingly. If it's only a card, it won't cost much, nor would you have to worry about insurance, etc. Should work. Say something to the effect "My son wishes he could make the show tonight; would you please autograph/sign this birthday card? He'd be so excited! Thanks very much" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NeilBeart Posted August 18, 2010 Share Posted August 18, 2010 QUOTE (GeddyLeefan2112 @ May 4 2010, 11:41 PM)I remember a while back from the last tour people would send stuff to the venue to get signed? I can't remember the exact details but this sort of thing is relevant to my interests..... Check it out. My package came back with Rush autographs + Bonus! I sent a priority package ahead of time to the San Fran show on 8/9. I had a nice cover letter and some stage "stuff" for the boys based on their hobbies mentioned in the DVD. I also sent a new 10" Remo coated batter head to be signed....and pre-paid return label...blah, blah. I got the package back today and it had a different head...upon inspection, it was not only signed by all 3 but it is a used 10" DW head (I'm assuming) from Neil! They also choose to throw in a bonus signed concert program! Sweet!!! http://www.spenweb.com/images/IMG_2438.jpg http://www.spenweb.com/images/IMG_2439.jpg http://www.spenweb.com/images/IMG_2440.jpg http://www.spenweb.com/images/IMG_2441.jpg http://www.spenweb.com/images/IMG_2442.jpg http://www.spenweb.com/images/IMG_2443.jpg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mara Posted August 18, 2010 Share Posted August 18, 2010 Awesome! I'll say it again - I think it's so cool that Neil takes the time to personalize. Sending the drum head - and that was EXTREMELY thoughtful of Neil. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I sent in a few things to the Seattle show, got one back. I sent another package off asking if they could sign my tourbook from the Seattle show. Hoping to get that back next week.

skindzier Posted August 20, 2010 Share Posted August 20, 2010 Got my GUP mini tourbook from Replay x3 back from Red Rocks already.

Still perplexed though as to why my TSOR guitar sheet music was returned unsigned in my previous package?? Hopefully my tour book made it to the Wichita venue (tomorrow nights show). I sent that along with the SOR sheet music again, this time both with sticky notes attached asking if the guys could sign these items for me. I truly just want Alex's sig on that sheet music. That would make me the happiest little fan. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rush1 Posted August 20, 2010 Share Posted August 20, 2010 I sent my license plate, RUSH1 to the Boise venue...and had it traced, insured...I had it back a couple of days after the show... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zanadoo Posted August 20, 2010 Share Posted August 20, 2010 So, to the people that got stuff signed, what exactly did you do? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sussossus Posted August 20, 2010 Share Posted August 20, 2010 Could I send something to any venue? I don't see why I couldn't, but I ask because I already went to both of my shows and didn't know about this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
skindzier Posted August 20, 2010 Share Posted August 20, 2010 (edited) Zanadoo - I sent the item to Red Rocks' address on their website addressed to Liam Birt, Rush Tour Manager with a self-addressed envelope with postage inside. I just put a sticky note on the item saying Thanks for the music guys! & put my name on it. Edited August 20, 2010 by skindzier Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Barry Posted August 21, 2010 Share Posted August 21, 2010 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!! http://nyaj.com/images/waves.jpg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
