:lol:

Did you???? :lol:

Be honest, because I've even wrote and still have a few cover letters introducing my crap but never send them and they are dated pre 1995... :lol:..

I want to send PJ my crazy writings....but I'm too cool. 8-)

Am I alone in this? Be honest.

    Never posted anything to them. But I was convinced when I was on holiday in Barbados in about 1993 that I would bump into them on the beach :oops:

    no, I did write bands when I was younger, and always only got junk mail for their fan club...I became disillusioned... :cry: I do see in Deep mag, that PJ does read every letter and some people get return letters....I'm a terrible letter writer though.

    That's what I would think...on the 'Contact Us' link it says Send all fan letters and gifts to:

    Cool! :P
    My PJ crazy friend reckons if I write to them and ask, they will come all the way to my house and do a gig for my 40th. He reckons PJ would do that because they could just go south a little bit for some of the best surf and wine in the world.
    I'm thinking I have a chance?....yes? :mrgreen:

    The only person I ever wrote to was Pete Townshend and I received a very nice note back from him. That was back in 1989 and I’ve written to him several times since then and he always replies back to me and in a very timely manner. Even sent me a Christmas card one year.

    He’s my favorite person in the world, so it’s a very cool thing for me.
    Don't come closer or I'll have to go

    So back in the early 90's I had a job where I read fan mail for a summer. Note that I said the early 90's. Read mail for Michael Jackson, Lionel Ritchie, Pee-Wee Herman, and Don Johnson.

    These guys never got their mail (except Pee-Wee, he'd get the foil and rubber bands for his foil and rubber band ball on the show). You'd just look for threats, send those to legal, and then shred the rest. The only thing you'd do is get the address and send back a form letter to join the fan club.

    A lot of 'normal' mail requesting autographs, etc. Some crazies (the letters from Jesus letters were postmarked from Oklahoma, and Satans Mistress lived in Japan). All in all, a very cool summer job.
    "You're no help," he told the lime. This was unfair. It was only a lime; there was nothing special about it at all. It was doing the best it could.

    Not sending gravy? That's just poor upbringing right there.

    I've never sent them fan mail, but i did once drive my car into Eddie Vedder's house. He wasn't home, but his security guard was.

    OH I remember that!!! He was at Lukins at the time, he's got a spot there you know. Anyway, as I remember the story, I think he went to the fridge and grabbed himself a beer.

    I could be wrong though, he was telling that story very fast.
