I have GIVEN UP on VV!!!!!

[chriscollector]

I feel you pain Frank. I gave up completely about 2 years ago. I never even got a Britney Spears or Jerry Seinfeld success; both whom are know as good VV signers. If I totaled the cost of pastage, supplies, photos, cd jackets, DVD artwork, and the time; it would make me cry.

I can understand your frustration. I have had similar experiences: but I have had some good responces too.

The first VV I tried, I got my photo back signed by David Wenham. So I started trying VVs and for the past 2 years I haven't gotten anything back VV. It only stopped recently when I got Marcia Gay Harden via a play.

Even more frustrating was that I once tried the same address someone else did and THEY got a responce abut I didn't.

The only thing I can say is that no matter where you send your letter, there is always a chance they will respond, and a chance they won't.

I'm not a huge fan of sending VV to be honest but on the rare occasions that I do, I always email or call the venue to make sure they pass on fan mail. That way, at least if I get an rts, I know it's the celeb who's a jerk and not the venue

I read that the NJ venue Daltrey was at on the 17th does not pass on fanmail, I actually sent to him c/o there too. So I actually sent to his next show in NY (confirmed do pass on fanmail) which was yesterday

If you are referring to the Count Basie venue in NJ - they do pass on fanmail. I received sigs from the Cranberries who played there the night before Daltrey's concert.

Sorry to hear that you are discouraged about vv. Without a doubt I'm a devotee of sending stuff via venue, and of course there are disappointments, but the successes have far outweighed the negatives. I did get the Doobie Brothers from the Arrowfest concert outside of Houston. Keep trying them - they are great to their fans. If you would prefer I can PM you the return address they included on their reply to me -- it is not listed here.

I have received successes from: Neil Young and No Doubt (Shoreline Amp - Neil's charity concert) The Cranberries (Count Basie - NJ) and Jerry Seinfeld -- all this month.

Like i said earlier i love vv without vv my autograph collection would not be as great a sit is because vv is the only way i seem to be able to get big stars to sign my stuff,living in canada where most filming happens now doesnt hurt either ...
