HBKHBK Posted September 21, 2012 Share Posted September 21, 2012 I just got an e-mail back from the Air Canada Centre in Toronto, Ontario and they said that they WONT accept any items or give them to the band to autograph. Anyone know of any venues in Canada that will give RUSH items to autograph? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GotPeart Posted September 21, 2012 Share Posted September 21, 2012 I'm going to be sending an album cover to the Charlotte venue, and thanks to another poster here, I just had a revelation to send a copy of "Roadshow" for Neil to sign (somehow I have 2 copies of that book). Already have a spot on the wall in my "man-cave" for it! Just need to verify with the arena that they'll do this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Garden of Rush Posted September 21, 2012 Share Posted September 21, 2012 http://i1174.photobucket.com/albums/r614/rush3571/197_zps3c8bf84b.jpg Got this back yesterday from the Palace. I'm still smiling about getting this. 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?

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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
workingman Posted September 21, 2012 Share Posted September 21, 2012 QUOTE (therm316 @ Sep 21 2012, 12:31 PM) QUOTE (Amy Farrah Fowler @ Sep 21 2012, 09:53 AM) Good to hear, Therm! 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...... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Amy Farrah Fowler Posted September 22, 2012 Share Posted September 22, 2012 You can get 12x12 frames anywhere these days. Square prints are a trend, so there are square frames in all sorts of sizes. This is the photog in me speaking...you may want to pony up the dough, get a larger frame and have a mat cut for your album and then frame it. Paper against glass is a no-no should any moisture get in there. It'll stick to the glass and you'll never get it out of there without something being left on the glass. Having it matted keeps it off the glass...I'd rather replace a mat than the album cover! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chicken hawk Posted September 22, 2012 Share Posted September 22, 2012 I got a reply back from TD Garden Boston...they do not have anything to do with autographs and recieving items to be autographed. They told me i need to go thru the concert people. Well long ago i tried that and had no responses. So i am not going to get an autograph looks like.

Barry Posted September 22, 2012 Share Posted September 22, 2012 Got this in the mail today from the Palace in MI. I had sent a silver sharpie hoping they would use it, but I am not complaining :-) http://dl.dropbox.com/u/6320832/IMG_7999.jpg http://dl.dropbox.com/u/6320832/IMG_8001.jpg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GotPeart Posted September 24, 2012 Share Posted September 24, 2012 For those that sent items in for autographs - how far in advance of the show did you send those in? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I sent mine on a Monday for a show on Thursday of the same week. I live 15 miles or so from the venue, so I knew it wouldn't take more than a day to reach the venue. I think the key is sending it to get their the day before the show so that the staff of the facility has time to deal with it rather than day of the show. And not to send it so early that it gets misplaced, forgotten, or lost altogether. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jasonw2112 Posted September 24, 2012 Share Posted September 24, 2012 I sent an 8x10 photo to the the Columbus show, about 5 days in advance. It shows it was recieved in about a day. However I have not recieved it back yet, so maybe it's a case of snail mail! I live about 50 miles from Columbus, it should have showed up by now....

I didn't get my 8x10 back for almost 10 days after the show. I'd all but given up on it, but I'm thinking they may have taken it with them, signed it, and mailed it from a show or two after the one we were at. So don't give up hope.

mikbor1 Posted September 25, 2012 Share Posted September 25, 2012 FYI--I got responses from the Verizon Ampitheatre in GA (show there is on 11/1) and Key Arena in Seattle, WA (show there is 11/13) saying they do forward mail to the venue playing there Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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. Well I checked via Google! It is a valid alternate to the spelling! I guess if someone told him to make it out to Jason, but not knowing which spelling to use, than it is correct! So it's not a matter of "he can't spell!", just a different way I guess! New one for me! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would love to get either my CD signed or maybe even go out and get the vinyl copy! Should I contact public relations, marketing, or human resources at the venue? Or none of the above and its another section? (They have so many phone numbers...) Has anybody tried this? I am considering sending something prior to the show in October...
