Sent LOR,SASE, 2 8 x 10's
Mailed: Oct 3, 2011
Recv.: Oct 12, 2011


I knew that the Bangles were going to be very close to my home for a concert this past weekend so I thought I would give them a try. I thought they might sign seeing that they were holding a meet and greet autograph signing prior to the show. Today I recv back my SASE with a marker through the stamps. I opened it up and all the pictures were inside and my LOR was the only thing missing. I contacted the venue, The Pagent, and they told me they forward all mail and the management must have returned it to me. This really ticked me off! If they did not want to sign anything all they had to do was RTS it instead of wasting all my stamps! If you decide to send to The Bangles you might want to beware.

The envelope just has my return addy and no postmark.

Sorry about it. :neutral:

A few years ago I wrote to Susanna Hoffs and used the Bangles address.
I got my photo back unsigned and instead I got a "the Bangles" PP with a note saying they don't sign. {down} {down}

Thank you! I think that it bites though. I requested the pictures for my 8/9 yr old sons so you would think they would have some kind of heart for a new set of fans I know that I now have a bad taste for them. {down}

The ladies are great signers in person and VERY kind and generous to their fans. When they are not touring, they do sign ttm as well. I had luck at a meet and greet a few years back and then ttm when they were recently recording. It is all a matter of timing.

I wouldn't hold it against the band members so personally, because the letter probably never reached them. Their manager probably opened it, saw a request, and sent it back without the band members even knowing
