Hammelltime Envelope Extravaganza: Update #2

Here's another update on the expanding collection of autographs in my Envelope Extravaganza! As I did last time, let's first have a look at who didn't pan out:

Raffi

I got a bounceback from Raffi. I'm really not surprised as this address took some real hunting to discover. So no dice here, but the legitimate Canada Post sticker was nice to see. I say this mainly because I still feel a bit scorned and suspicious of Kevin O'Leary's bounceback.

Now on to the successes!

My first written response came from a personal idol of mine:

Terry O'Rielly

For those who haven't heard of him, Terry O'Reilly is the founder of TV and Radio production house Pirate Toronto and host of CBC Radio programs: The Age of Persuasion and Under the Influence. If you find advertising/psychology interesting, check this show out right now (or after you're done reading).

I must say I'm pretty proud of this one!

next up,

Stephen Harper

Whether you're a fan of Harper or not, I figured he was an obvious person to mail. It's pretty exciting to find a letter from the Prime Minister's Office in your mailbox.


Sidenote, the paper this autograph is on is spectacular. I can't even adequately explain how amazing the paper feels. I never thought I'd nerd-out about stationary like this!

And finally:

Rick Mercer

Mr. Mercer, CBC Superstar, sent me the largest envelope I've recieved so far. It's a pretty neat photo, and he actually wrote my name! I giggled like a girl when I saw the return address on the envelope.

 Seeing as it's summer I really didn't think I'd hear back from any of the CBC folks in good time. So thanks Rick Mercer!

Stay tuned for further updates. In the meantime, I'm going to go drinking in Grande Prairie. Have a good long weekend everyone!
