Via Venue envelope question

Unread post by starreyes »

This is going to be a little bit hard for me to explain, so I appolgize in advance to whoever I may confuse.

Today I got back a picture from Oasis (sorry, I'm behind on posting successes, I'll do it sometime this week.) and on the envelope it says Indianapolis. I sent to Oasis VV at many different venues. The first one I sent to was Riverside Theatre in Milwaukee, but I didn't check to see if they would pass on fanmail. The second venue I sent to was in Indianapolis, and they said the would pass on the fanmail. In theory, they could have gotten the mail in Milwaukee, and sent it in the next town they were in, which would have been Indianapolis on their tour. But, they could have also just gotten and sent the letter from Indianapolis too, right? I was writing in my book when I got it back, and I don't know which one to write it under now. Can anybody give any imput of advise on what I should do? Thanks.

Hi starreyes

It's possible that Oasis either:

1. Didn't receive the letter you sent to the Riverside Theatre.
2. Reveived the letter you sent to the Riverside Theatre. However, they took their mail / had it forwarded to their next venue Indianapolis and answered it there.
2. Received only one letter - the one in Indianapolis.
3. Received both letters, but only decided to reply to the one you sent to Indianapolis.

We don't know for certain what has happened. In your situation I would record it as a success from your letter sent to Indianapolis (considering that the envelope was marked as Indianapolis.)

Thanks nowandagain, very good reasoning. I'll put it down as the one in Indianapolis, but I'll mark it in pencil, just in case another one shows up. Also, I guess it's possible that the mail was slower from Milwaukee... But I'll mark it in pencil.

Thanks again! :P

I'm hoping so :lol: I also sent to them at three other venues, but I sent a different letter each time, so maybe I'll get lucky and get a few more back. That would be cool :wink: I know at least two of the other three pass on fanmail, so they'll at least get to read my letter if they don't send anything back, which is good enough for me :P

Sounds great starreyes ... imagine getting 2 or 3 responses from Oasis!

I think it'll be a dream if that happens :wink:.

Good luck :D
