When will _I_ own a B.B.C.? --- SPARKS ---

Hi Folks,

Just a day before my birthday I called to my post office and they said I got a yeallow SASEwaiting for me there at PO Box. I was a bit confused as I always use white envelopes. My initial thought was that it's my friend Jerry sent me somethign that arrived to his mailbox.
When I got to post office it turned out to be autograph from band SPARKS. The envelope wastheirs and it's came from England.

The most funny thing was that I just sent my fan letter to their fan club a day before.
OK the mystery behind it is the following. During the previous week I went to their official fan site and left a message to them about getting autograph. I asked either for autograph to be sent to me or if they can provide information where to send my request. Actually I did had their PERSONALIZED autograph several years ago but it's got destroyed. And for several years I waited for the opportunity to get it again. I explained this to them.

Actually from their side I find out that they are on tour in the U.K. (I think they now live in the USA). So when I didn't got any reply from them by email I thought that I have nothing to loose except my patience and sent my request to their Official Fan Club address which I used several years ago to obtain their autograph.

So, now imagine my surprize that I got their autograph so fast. I believe someboduy from staff sent the message to them in England and they sent an official tour promo photo signed.Autograoh match the signatures I had before. However it was not personalized.
Well it's still a great autograph.

I like their music a lot. Especially album "GRATUITIUS SAX AND SENSELESS VIOLINS" with hit single "NOW THAT I OWN A BBC" which was fab in mid 90-s.
I don't know what will happen to my letter. I can imagine now that they may even reply to it (I sent couple of collages printed).

We'll see.

PS: Here you can see a BW autograph that I had and which got destroyed. Just for comparison.

PETER PAN - I mean Jeremy Sumpter

Now, this I received sometime in the first day's of January. It's came pretty fast.I sent 3 photos. One photo was signed by Jason Isaacs and I wanted it to be signed by him too. That was PETER PAN collage.
He did signed that photo (ISP) but only that. Actually there was a 4th photo which was a small copy of signed Jason Isaacs photo which had a sticknote saying that I don't need it to be signed - that it was for him if he likes to keep it. Funny enough he didn't signed great other PETER PUN photo but DID signed that small paper copy of Jason Isaacs autograph.
So just keep in mind if you want to trade for somethign that I have a spare 5x7 autograph of Jeremy Sumpter on PETER PAN printed collage with Jason Isaacs preprint on it. :)

I used the following permanent address:
c/o Mark Robert Management, P.O. Box 1549, Studio City, CA 91614, USA
It took 51 days.
Take care.

One more reservoir dog - Steve Buscemi

This came via Jerry, together with Liam Neeson. I got it in January, though Jerry received it in December.

Steve Buscemi. Always wanted his autograph.


He signed my 10x8 portrait, plus 2 6x8 photos (one from RESERVOIR DOGS and other from ARMAGEDDON), plus he signed a 6x8 RES.DOG photo to Jerry.

This adds to my small RESERVOIR DOGS collection. I always have Quentin Tarantino, Tim Roth and I had Michael Madsen and Harvei Keitel (which both also got lost:(

So now I have 3.

Neat.

Cheers,

My Birthday Success - Jack Noseworthy

Hi guys,

Today (10-Feb) is my Birthday! Feels sad and great at the same time!
It's good that after a month of completely NOTHING autograph wise the success came just on my Birthday!

The success came to the PO Box of my 'American agent' and friend Jerry. This is from Jack Noseworthy. I am very happy about it, as one of my huge passion is my collection of the EVENT HORIZON cast members. Jack was in 'E.H.' played character Justin who ejected himself out of airlock. His other roles were 'Barb wire' and very notable 'U-571', which I also enjoyed. Also a Bon Jovy music video "Always" (if I correct).

I received 3 signed photos. Two of which were 10x8 ISPs of the EVENT HORIZON and one
6x8 SP of him from U-571. The signature matches his 'one year ago' sig that I received through his parents address so I believe it's genuine.

Sent in December 2005 to 'LESTAT' theatre play in San Francisco. As per Jerry - the SASE came with New York postmark. According to my know - he left LESTAT cast (per PLAYBILL.COM website). So don't know if it's any good to write there now...

I am very happy today!

Cheers,


Leon
