That's true. Only reason I know it was the venue for me was because they put a post-it note on the picture saying "Sorry, tour left already"

Fanmail

But it could have been her people that did that. Whatever, it is a strange choice to open it. What would they have thought was inside???

The same thing happened to me. I sent Miley Cyrus a VV request to an arena in Jacksonville and the venue sent me back my photo unsigned in my SASE. I think it's weird... the venue is technically opening someone else's mail. They should forward it to them, or if they can't, make it a RTS.

I sent a cd booklet and SASE on 1-30-08 for her show with Matchbox 20 at the Palace of Auburn Hills on 2-2-08.

Today (2-9-08), I received the cd booklet unsigned in my SASE with nothing else. This is strange because it's usually a RTS or no response unless it is a success.

What is also odd is that it is postmarked 2-7-08 from Royal Oak, MI, which is where I live. Do post offices sometimes postmark incoming mail that has not been postmarked already??

Nevertheless, I think Alanis should take a cue from Amy Lee when it comes to signing if she wants to cultivate a stronger, rather than eroding, fan base in anticipation of her upcoming release. She is certainly vulnerable to being dropped from her label as Jewel recently was.
