<p>to who at the famous address?</p>
<p>Ray J would write to people that impressed him;<br></br>never heard if he got replies</p>
<p>Pecos Bill Gaglione has a letter from Yoko, but no idea if she was writing from a famous address</p>
<p>I guess it is easier to get a famous address than it is to get the address of someone who is famous</p>

<p>Hi Lesley! You also got formal acknosledgement from the UK's Prime Minister if you send something to 10 Downing Street. Most Government Departments will give you a formal acknowledgement of mail received.</p>

<p>If you are thinking of 'cold-mailing' the good and the graet, you could send them some very early Xmas cards, and see if they add you to their list and send you something back in a few weeks time.</p>
<p>I suspect that you might be wasting your time, money, card and glue, though.</p>
<p>Alternatively, you could mail ME something.</p>
<p>Regards!</p>

<p>Bonsoir Jon! After today's meeting with my local bank manager I think that you should forget subtlety.</p>
<p>I'll explain.</p>
<p>I have 2 exhibitions in my village next year. I need to buy about 200 small canvasses, and asked the manager of my local bank if he would (co-) sponsor my exhibitions; He said that he didn't have a local budget for this sort of thing, but advised me to submit a 'comprehensive dossier' to the bank's Paris HQ.

<p>Bonsoir Jon! After today's meeting with my local bank manager I think that you should forget subtlety.</p>
<p>I'll explain.</p>
<p>I have 2 exhibitions in my village next year. I need to buy about 200 small canvasses, and asked the manager of my local bank if he would (co-) sponsor my exhibitions; He said that he didn't have a local budget for this sort of thing, but advised me to submit a 'comprehensive dossier' to the bank's Paris HQ. Further discussions revealed that I should ask for €200,000 +. I only want €5-700! And I'm not going to go through all the coportae bullsh*t stuff, because...</p>
<p>... I used to manage a small arts, culture and sports sponsorship fund in Belgium, and sometimes Holland, for the international company I used to work for, and now only too well how many hurdles you have to jump over. I'd rather work on my exhibitions!</p>
<p>The point of this is...THINK BIG. The UN, UNESCO, the US Dept of Arts/Culture(?), the White House, Winston-Salem and NC authorities, etc.</p>
<p>Don't be subtle.</p>
<p>Do you want me to think this through a bit more?</p>

I will for sure let you know Val, just trying to gather some ideas for a new project. Do you have any ideas of places that I could send to? Maybe more subtle places?

Completely relative. I was reading a biography about Tom Waits and saw a letter addressed to him at the Tropicanna Hotel and I thought I should send something. I doubt anything would happen sending to places like this, but it would be fun to find out.
