My coolest one (that I can think of right now) was from Blake Judd, the vocalist for the metal band Nachtmystium. He owns a record label and sent 10 cd's of his band (which were all signed) and others on the label, some stickers for my kids, a t-shirt for the kids, a vinyl copy of their latest album signed and photo, which on the back was written, 'Clint, this is the only copy of our first promo photo. Enjoy and thanks for the support'.
Two weeks after I got that box, I got a 2-page letter from him, just talking about metal music and life and my kids. He said my letter made his girlfriend cry. Not just because of all the stuff he sent me, but because of how nice the letter was, this is the coolest guy ever. Even said that if every metal musician I wrote to didn't respond the way he did, "then f*ck 'em". Of course, if everyone did, then we wouldn't appreciate it as much.
He got a six-page thank you letter shortly thereafter.
