The Main Monkey Business Posted May 6, 2011 Share Posted May 6, 2011 Was wondering what the procedure was for sending items to hopefully get signed at UK venues - specifically Manchester, Birmingham & London Anyone have any success on the S&A tour, if so whats the best way of going about it? Also, on a side note, after the gigs have ended do Alex / Geddy ever come out of the dressing room or backstage to sign stuff anymore? I've heard stories of people hanging around after the show near exits and getting a quick photo / signature. Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sir, have you not read the bible? Did not David kill Goliath with a slingshot? http://www.westfortbaptist.org/children/super-heroes/david-slingshot1.jpg I cannot be held responsible for the Merkins misappropriating a perfectly good word in bad faith, like they have done with some tasty teatime comestibles.

USB Connector Posted May 7, 2011 Share Posted May 7, 2011 (edited) I highly recommend you call the venues and ask them. Ask them "If I send something to the venue adressed to Rush such as a ___________, will you forward it to the band? If I include a self adressed, postage paid return enveloppe, will you send it back?" I did this for the Bell Centre here in Montreal and the people who I spoke to thought it was a great question and were more than courteous while helping me.

The Main Monkey Business Posted May 11, 2011 Author Share Posted May 11, 2011 spoke to people at the MEN Arena & Newcastle Metro Arena - both the venues said they will pass things on to the artist - just send it to the address and put on it 'forward to RUSH'. Include a pre paid return postage and it should hopefully find its way back to you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sarge Posted May 13, 2011 Share Posted May 13, 2011 Just dropped my 2112 album cover off at the Glasgow SECC with a SAE. The girl was cool and said she'd hand it over as there was other mail for the band. I did this on the S&A's tour when I handed in my copy of Roadshow & I got it back signed by Neil.
