Fanmail?

I feel very 20th century here, but have any of you ever sent a fanmail to the band or an idividual member? I found an address on yahoo answers (yeah seems legit...) and for a reason [having zero friends and being prone to inventing stuff] I've been "writing" to Nicky in my head since September 9th. I've also been writing mentally to Kurt Vonnegut, but I think he is a little less likely to, you know, receive a letter.

Not that I'm thinking I'm going to be penpals with Nicky Wire (which would be awesome, btw), but I guess it would give me some sort of comfort knowing that a mailed a letter to a person across the ocean and it got there, even though there is a probably high chance he won't give a fuck about it.

I still have to think about a little gift or something. Sadly I'm out of glitter and stickers.

If you want to ensure Nicky gets to read something you write, it needs to be posted at the link below.

He chucks all fan mail in the bin... well, if he's still the same as his early 1990s self.

He went out of his way with a handwritten letter and signed photo for me!

If he's still the same as his late-90s early-00s self, he keeps every bit of it!

I sent him a pair of shoes to the address I found on the Hall or Nothing website and he definitely received them as he posted a pic of them on twitter not long ago.

I'd try sending via Hall or Nothing, either the management or the press office arms, good luck, I am pretty sure they pass everything on. Wire does read all his mail he's told enough people.

Don't put too much glitter on. He'd be so fucked off when it messes up his shag pile.

Btw, what about the other two guys? Is it that Nicky is in charge of fanmail or is it one address for all members, or what?
