HalfwayToGone Posted November 10, 2012 Share Posted November 10, 2012 (edited) There is still time for KeyArena Seattle if you send something out today or even first thing Monday, and ship it express mail. Guaranteed by noon the next day if you go early, and I sent from the opposite coast (NJ)**update**it actually took an extra day, but keep in mind we're still recovering from the disaster followed by a nor'easter. If my booklet comes back signed, I'll post a photo. This will be my first personalized item from Rush, although I have a few autographed things by them already--the framed hand-signed lithograph of the 2112 artwork, the framed CA manuscript page from the gold edition along with the signed book, a signed copy of Far And Away, and a copy of the DVD of Beyond The Lighted Stage signed by Geddy (a Fender special through Musician's Friend and other instrument mail order stores).

mmm_donuts Posted November 12, 2012 Share Posted November 12, 2012 I think I'll send them my Underwater Dogs book to get signed. Something different for them to look at. If it doesn't make it back, at least someone will get a good laugh out of it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aviateur55 Posted November 13, 2012 Share Posted November 13, 2012 Pretty bummed, looks like skunked again, I sent a vintage poster last tour, and to Cleveland over two weeks and never received anything back either time, it was hard each time to find a poster let alone two, and with the money spent on poster tubes and postage, I would have been better off buying the autographs elsewhere, oh well at least I tried. Anybody get anything back from Cleveland? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CE24 Posted November 13, 2012 Share Posted November 13, 2012 (edited) Anybody get anything back from Cleveland? Got my Hemispheres cd jacket back Saturday, signed by all three. Sent it in a padded brown envelop with another SASE to the Q a week before addressed to Rush/Liam Birt at the Q's addy. http://i302.photobucket.com/albums/nn108/hetfieldinn/photo.jpg Edited November 13, 2012 by CE24 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eddiescott98 Posted November 14, 2012 Share Posted November 14, 2012 I finally figured out how to post this. I got this back from Atlanta last week. I'm stoked... http://i1078.photobucket.com/albums/w484/eddiescott98/Rush/CA1.jpg 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aviateur55 Posted November 14, 2012 Share Posted November 14, 2012 Sent a poster tube,, with return address sticker and return postage, addressed to Rush/Liam Birt with delivery confirmation, was signed for the Tuesday before the show, so I know it was there. I would be ok with getting it back without signatures, but to send two posters and not receive anything back is a little frustrating. Great pic by the way CE24, I have been trying for years now to get signatures, you should feel blessed Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Union 5-3992 Posted November 14, 2012 Share Posted November 14, 2012 http://i47.tinypic.com/24x07d2.jpg Got my CD back a few days after the Buffalo show Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Orbourus Posted November 14, 2012 Share Posted November 14, 2012 Yes it does work , as everyone has said send what you want to the venue about 2 weeks prior to their arrival , make sure its something you can do without just in case and include return postage. Last tour I sent my numbered MP litho to The last stop in Washington and got it back a week after the show . Include a new sharpie especially if you want them to sign something black ( I sent silver ) and address the package care of Road manager Rush and then the address of the venue.

BlazeButler Posted November 14, 2012 Share Posted November 14, 2012 I received my package sent to the Q in Cleveland back, unopened. Someone at the Q scribbled "not our mail" across the front and the post office returned it to me with 70 cents postage due. Bummer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aviateur55 Posted November 14, 2012 Share Posted November 14, 2012 Wow thats strange Blaze, mine was accepted by the Q and still a no show, it seems very hit or miss, some people get their items back right away, and others get it back a few weeks later, some signed some not, some never see it again Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HalfwayToGone Posted November 15, 2012 Share Posted November 15, 2012 Sounds like someone at the Q is getting sick of dealing with fan mail. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CE24 Posted November 17, 2012 Share Posted November 17, 2012 Put my item in a cheap frame, along with one of the pictures I took the night of the show.

HalfwayToGone Posted November 17, 2012 Share Posted November 17, 2012 (edited) sweet! by the way, for anyone who wants to contribute to charity, Andrew McNaughtan's website is back up and running, and they have a few signed/numbered portraits of Geddy for sale. they must have just sold out of the last one of neil. this tour mail option is much better for those on a budget.

HalfwayToGone Posted November 20, 2012 Share Posted November 20, 2012 Makes sense. Either way, if I'm lucky it'll be here any day. Just knowing they probably got my mail in Seattle is encouraging. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
andrew28 Posted November 20, 2012 Share Posted November 20, 2012 If Neil is addressed to sign it, expect it to be addressed to YOU, i.e. "To Joe Shmoe", all so it will diminish its value/resellability. Such a ridiculously petty mindset of someone revered as being a "great", intelligent and successful- but really is someone tremendously cynical and insecure. Many artists/actors/athletes do the same exact thing. If you have a problem with it, then don't get something signed. I think it's a lot better policy than giving out a mass-produces 8x10 pre-signed glossy; or simply refusing to give autographs at all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HalfwayToGone Posted November 20, 2012 Share Posted November 20, 2012 Well said. I'd add that if they just signed anything put in front of them generically, then their autographs would be essentially free, and worthless except for the sentimental value, which is much greater when they take the time to write your name on there (even if Liam or someone else writes it for them).

GotPeart Posted November 20, 2012 Share Posted November 20, 2012 For me, I'm happy as hell they personalized it. I have NO intentions of ever having it leave my possession. Don't criticize someone on the public eye unless you've been there yourself and have to deal with the crazies that are out there. (for the record - I thankfully have no clue what that's like). 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
