Hi EhSs01! It usually depends on who I'm writing to. If it's a "fan e-mail" that the band has set up, I'll address the e-mail directly to them. However, if I'm contacting them through their managers e-mail than I address it to the manager and ask how I can go about getting an autograph. Us...

Hi Daniel, An IRC would be better. It would be more hassle with the British pounds just because they would have to go to the bank and trade them for US money and then go purchase stamps. An IRC they could directly go to the post office and get the stamps. When you go to the post office explain what ...

I say absolutely not. He's caused a lot of problems before. He has spammed a former mod's guestbook (as well as mine) with inappropriate statements as well.

I got the idea from Ryan, but I make my own cards to send. I also have sent photo's I've printed on glossy photo paper.

I think sometimes (like everyone has said) they just slip through the system. I've gotten a lot of things back from California uncancelled, but then I've gotten replies back from New York where the entire top part of the envelope from one end to the other was blacked out (I guess to guarantee that t...

Hi Heyheyyou! I know it's frustrating, but what you have to remember is that sometimes artists are just really, really busy. Sometimes they don't get into a city until 5 or 6AM and have to be up to do press stuff at 1 or 2PM, sound check after that and then meet and greet with fans before the actual...

Since there seems to be a lot of questions concerning IRC's at the moment... please remember to check the sticky "Where can I buy IRCs, US Stamps?" (http://fanmail.biz/mboard/viewtopic.php?f=117&t=14171) A lot of your questions may be already answered. If you're still unclear about IRC...

Hi Beau! I've heard of people having luck getting IRC's by calling the customer service line for USPS (http://www.usps.com/customerservice/welcome.htm?from=home_header&page=CustomerService). I've never done it myself, so I don't know if they even do this (but doesn't hurt in asking). My post off...

Hi NiNaTheDreamer! Your post office should have told you, unless you just asked to purchase one IRC. I don't think one will be enough. You probably needed to send at least two. Next time, I would ask the post office how many IRC's should you send so that person can reply to you. I've even gone as fa...

I actually write men and women kind of equally, maybe I've sent a few more letters to men then women, and I've noticed that I seem to get more personalization from men back. I've also only received hand written thank you letters from men.
