Kingdirk Posted April 21, 2011 Share Posted April 21, 2011 Admiration and Respect...two words that describe everything that the Holy Triumvirate deserve in every way. I sent my VG copy of Moving Pictures to Copps Coliseum in Hamilton last week with a short, simple, and appreciative note for their music and musicianship in the hopes that I might get it back with their signatures. Like so many on this forum who have tried (and successfully) received something of personal value back graced with their signatures, this album meant so much to me, and hearing it at the show (all the while knowing that my copy was somewhere deep in the bowels of that arena) was quite humbling. Although I have never met them, they are gentlemen and deserving of all the admiration and respect that we fans can give them. My wife called me at work this morning and told me that a package arrived from Copps. Thinking perhaps that it was sent back unsigned, I asked her to open it. In her words, there it was - "Hey Rob - Neil, Geddy, and Alex". Magic. It'll be hard to get through the day without racing home to hold that piece of art in my hands, but to everyone on this forum who offered suggestions and assistance to those of us who wanted to experience an autographed piece by these guys for the first time, all I can say is "Thank You". I may sound like a giddy schoolgirl here, but this really has been an awesome week, capped by receiving a true treasure in the mail. A picture will follow.

clive Posted April 21, 2011 Share Posted April 21, 2011 (edited) Looks like I'm the only one to send to Cleveland, I know it was the worst choice as they were filming, but it was the only choice I had at the time. It'll be a week tomorrow since the show, I guess I won't be getting my stuff back. Congrats to all of those that did!

sanzo Posted April 21, 2011 Share Posted April 21, 2011 If I was going to see three-headed rock monsters in 3 weeks[ yes, 2 weeks!] would it be a good idea to get somthinh sent away to get signed, I mean they wont be in toronto anytime in the next 3 weeks ? My non rush-fan friend txted me this week saying she was going to get items signed by RUSH after I calmed down and was rational, turns out the BF was sending stuf away to get signed, not meting the actual band Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dang I guess I could have sent in my Geddy picture from Syracuse, I wanted to get him to sign it and complete my wall collection. Oh well, there will be time, I'm in no rush to get it signed. After seeing the great pictures on John Arrowsmith grabbed Tuesday night here, I think I'll be adding more to the wall, going to run out of wall space soon.

It was a risk I was willing to take. The memories of the actual show will more than make up for it. What a magical night soon to be watched over and over again in HD.

Smokin'Lebanon Posted May 17, 2011 Share Posted May 17, 2011 Great news for everyone who has been lucky to get something signed from the guys. The remaining dates for the UK tour what venues would be the best for sending an item to the band. I was going to post something to the Newcastle Metro Arena 21st May. Has anyone had anything signed from that venue. If you could be so kind and post up the addresses of any possible places that are definitely a good bet for getting the item back. I'd hate to send any of my tour books and not see them again. cheers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
