GeddyRulz Posted May 3, 2013 Share Posted May 3, 2013 (edited) I've seen this subject before, but exact details have been sketchy. Maybe someone who's done this can clue me in... How, exactly, does it work when you send something to a venue to be autographed by the guys? Obviously I want to send it well in advance of their appearance at said venue, but: 1. How far in advance would you recommend the item(s) be sent? Maybe one month?2. Are there items that you'd suggest I NOT send? Should I just send a tourbook or CD booklet?3. I imagine I include a self-addressed return envelope, correct?4. To whose attention do I send it? Rush or Liam Birt, care of the venue? Or send it to the venue and specify INSIDE the envelope who it's for?5. Include a letter to the venue's staff, explaining what I'm up to?6. Include a short note to the band/Liam Birt, asking for specific requests? (i.e., "Please make it out to Mark" or "Please have all three guys sign the photo on page 21" or even "Please have Geddy sign his photo on page 5, Alex on his photo on page 7, and Neil on his photo on page 9") Any help? I think I want to GO FOR IT! Edited May 3, 2013 by GeddyRulz Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

EagleMoon Posted May 4, 2013 Share Posted May 4, 2013 (edited) Send one item so it will arrive a couple of days before the show, no earlier or it could get lost. They won't sign more than one item so there's no point in sending more. Include the self addressed envelope and put stamps on it, don't have it meter read. Send it to RUSH c/o Liam Birt with the venue's address on it. You can send a note but I doubt it would be read. I think the guys just get the item and are told who to make it out to. They pretty much sign stuff the same way for everyone. Edited May 4, 2013 by EagleMoon Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vols1118 Posted May 4, 2013 Share Posted May 4, 2013 Just got my Power Windows vinyl back from Orlando with signatures from all three of the band members! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Promark747 Posted May 5, 2013 Share Posted May 5, 2013 I would do everything you mentioned above, maybe a yellow sticky note on the tourbook or whatever you send asking to be signed to you personally.... Def plan on it arriving just a few days before the show. You might also check with the venue to ask if they receive incoming mail for bands. Some don't....

vols1118 Posted May 6, 2013 Share Posted May 6, 2013 Here is a picture of my power windows vinyl I got back this week from Orlando. I contacted the venue before the show and got the album there about a week before the concert. I addressed it to Rush/Liam Birt! http://i142.photobucket.com/albums/r117/vols1118/943612_4785750997252_177318736_n_zpsb762c18b.jpg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
