32Ford Posted June 5, 2015 Share Posted June 5, 2015 Has anyone happened to research the venues on the back end of the tour that forward fan mail? I'm starting to doubt myself and that I somehow screwed up the package I sent to Greensboro. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EagleMoon Posted June 5, 2015 Share Posted June 5, 2015 Well, I went to the post office today and my Hemispheres album cover is on its way to Buffalo. :D The postal clerk was really cool and knew who Rush was. He took the album cover and SASE out to weigh them and said, "Rush! Geddy Lee!" :drool: As an added bonus, when I got home, my Vegas tickets were waiting for me. Now that's what I call a good day. I mailed my tour program today too. They said it would get there Saturday. I was surprised it was that soon. Hopefully it doesn't get lost between then and when they get there. Egads. :o :) 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Cat 3 Posted June 5, 2015 Share Posted June 5, 2015 I sent Ghost Rider and received it back signed last tour. (It was my 2nd attempt...the first copy I sent never came back). Also, a 8 x 10 of my meet and greet with Alex & Geddy. And "A Show of Hands" Vinyl signed during The Time Machine Tour. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- I wasn't planning on sending anything this tour, but the R40 poster flat that came with The Art of Rush would look great signed and framed, so I'm kicking around the idea of sending it off.

A meet and greet picture I think would be ideal if Neil participated. Then you'd have all 3 guys and if that gets lost, big deal, just print another one. :) So what happens then? Only Geddy and Alex sign it? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was initially concerned about Saturday for the same reason you mention but hopefully whoever gets the mail there is caring and sensible enough to put it aside, fully aware that Rush will be there shortly.

Well here's hoping. I wonder if there are any other acts that are going to be performing over the weekend? They may not even get the mail until Monday.

I was thinking Saturday would be too soon for it to arrive but you are also closer to Buffalo than I am so that might be why it could be there sooner. Monday would be better but I wouldn't fret too much about Saturday. Like I alluded to, they should be well aware that Rush is there soon enough and put it in a bin or something to await them. I just realized something though; my clerk stamped "do not bend" all over the envelope going there but I don't think he stamped the return envelope. Crud. Oh well, I have a pretty thick piece of cardboard in there, so hopefully that will discourage it if nothing else. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They'll most likely just put the cardboard back in when they ship it back. I had to print out a shipping label from the machine out in the lobby for the inside envelope because of that 13 oz. rule. He said that if it had stamps on it, it would have to be taken to a post office and weighed. They couldn't just throw it in the mail box. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HalfwayToGone Posted June 5, 2015 Share Posted June 5, 2015 Has anyone happened to research the venues on the back end of the tour that forward fan mail? I'm starting to doubt myself and that I somehow screwed up the package I sent to Greensboro.Hang in there. It may just be delayed or temporarily lost in the mail. I got my package from CA tour over a month after my item was signed, and the bubble mailer I included looked like it went through a war twice.

blueschica Posted June 5, 2015 Share Posted June 5, 2015 Eeek, now I feel like I am doomed. My AFTK album was light enough to go First Class and it wasn't supposed to arrive in Buffalo until Monday. I just checked the tracking and it is out for delivery today, Friday. I hope it doesn't get stuck on some shelf somewhere and lost before next week :( (ha ha First World problem as my son would say but still . . . ) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TCDaniels Posted June 5, 2015 Share Posted June 5, 2015 This is kinda cool... A while back I had sent this to the guys to get signed (Maybe S&A Tour?)... Sent it out, got it back, framed it up... Hanging in his room now. http://i168.photobucket.com/albums/u176/TomD14/Nick%20Rush%20Signed_zpsizrtqjuh.jpg (and YES - they DO read the letters, BTW... Notice - No "H" in Nicolas) So anyways... This little dude is 7 years old now and headed to his first Rock and Roll concert on the 23rd - TD Bank Garden, Boston. I forget who's playing though! ;) 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, no other events are scheduled between now and Rush so at least the mail won't go home with the WWE wrestlers or something! :P 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's a good idea, maybe I will give them a call this afternoon (if I am brave enough!) My worry would be I would piss the person off and they would stick it in a desk drawer. (I used to work in some awful places.) And we worry my daughter is the one with the OCD, haha! Edited June 5, 2015 by blueschica 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GotPeart Posted June 5, 2015 Author Share Posted June 5, 2015 I'm starting to see some of the Greensboro folks receiving their signed stuff. I'm geting a little worried as I live about an hour away and if others have gotten theirs, I should have gotten mine. I'm driving our Admin at work crazy - lol.

conan1982 Posted June 7, 2015 Share Posted June 7, 2015 Here's the latest on the package I sent to Buffalo as per the USPS: June 4, 2015 , 9:50 pm Arrived at USPS Facility JERSEY CITY, NJ 07097 Your item arrived at our USPS facility in JERSEY CITY, NJ 07097 on June 4, 2015 at 9:50 pm.

When I sent my Permanent Waves booklet to Atlanta, I wasn't sure how long it would take to get there from Vegas and so I told the clerk, I just don't need it to get there too quickly and he replied "No worries, I gotcha covered!" My booklet arrived in 2 days, a full 6 days before the show, haha. As you may have seen, it came back and all is swell! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
andrew28 Posted June 8, 2015 Share Posted June 8, 2015 (edited) I sent an official MLB baseball with the Blue Jays logo on it (I'm out of LPs) to the show in Georgia and got it back along with my letter - without any signatures. Id' like to think it never made it into their hands and that the arena was nice enough to send it back to me. I'll try again.

Or it could be that the guys felt weird about signing a baseball that wasn't really theirs. I'd stick to Rush-based material if I were you.
