Fan Mail Address or Via Venue Address?

Hello, all!

It's my first time I'd like to ask for an autograph, so I want to do it right. I'm from Russia, I can't go to any US Con for it. I need a little help, please!

1. Should I write to Fan Mail Address or Via Venue to get autograph from Karl Urban? Where would it be my biggest chance for luck? Or it's appropriate to write both?

2. What would be your advice for a newbie? Except "never ever start", of course.

P.S. Sorry for my bad grammar.

I'm pretty new also and have never done Via Venue but I would tend to go for the fan mail address since that's more of a permanent thing. Depending on how long he's at the venue your letter may not get there in time if it's coming from Russia. Just my thoughts.

Good luck and welcome to the board.

Generally fan mail addresses are for agents/manager/publicists and a VV is an address that will only work for a short while, while they film a movie or do a play.

That said, I have personally tried Karl Urban many times and have not heard back from him. Unfortunately, there are some people who just don't respond throught the mail.
