Motion City Soundtrack
Sent: 5/24/08
Received: 6/5/08

address sent to:
The Pagent
6161 Delmar Blvd
St Louis, MO 63112

their concert at the pagent was 5/30, so im surprised it got there in time [[i sent it the saturday before memorial day, so i assumed that since it would've gotten held up on sunday AND monday and then it woulda gotten there like a day late]]

i sent a letter, lyrics to L.G.FAUD, and a SASE. there was no return address, so im not posting a scan of it. it was postmarked from omaha, ne though. i'm very happy with this success, MCS is a really great band! {love}

Nice success!
I'm not a huge fan of MCS, but I like the idea you used with lyrics instead of a picture.

haha thanks =] i didnt have anymore big envelopes so i needed something that could be folded and put in a small envelope. i also didnt think i had any pictures of them. it was after i sent it out that i realized that i had like 2 in a magazine and one on my wall. lmao

but im happy i sent lyrics instead of a picture :D

It's better than an index card, you know?
That's a really good idea if you don't have a picture of them.

I might have to try that for the smaller bands I like that aren't big enough to make it in magazines. ;-)

I'm always too nervous to send pictures to bands that I
really like incase I don't get them back, but I might have to try sending lyrics now.
:D

And since they're smaller bands, there is probably a better chance of them signing.

yupp =] thats why i hesitated sending kate walsh a pic to send, cuz i hjad to rip it out of a magazine and i HATE ripping pictures out of magazines. im very OCD about them. haha but i took a leap of faith, so let's see what happens.

what smaller bands are u thinking of sending them to?

I took a chance the second time I sent to Cody Linley two years ago.
It came back as an RTS and my picture was all mangled. :neutral:


Most likley ones no one has heard of before.
Before Their Eyes, Hopes Die Last, Signal the Escape, and Fate Kills the Hero.


How about you?

well even though they're not like, a small band anymore i think i'm gonna send out to mayday parade. i love their music but i didnt get to meet them at bamboozle because i was there the day they weren't :mad: lol

and maybe i'll send out to death cab too. i really like their new cd. and if i discover some small bands in my issue of AP i might send some to them too =]
