I know back in the nineties when he got sack fulls he didn't reply to anybody, he kept them under his bed i think until he eventually burnt them! Im sure I read that on Pulpwiki in the pulp people magazine bit. For a signed pic or anything I'd consider writing to Rough trade.

 

I've met him and he is lovely, I told him we were seeing Pulp at Sheffield and he was telling me about rehearsing for it, then he wrote "... See you in Sheffield!..." In my book.

he's so lovely *fangirly sigh*

How does jarvis take to fanmail and/or letters? Also has anyone met jarvis here? What's he like? I desperately want to meet/thank him for all he's done for me but am scared I will never have the opportunity to. I hope he travels around the UK this year.

Is it possible to write him a letter with a photo inside and thus get a signed autogragh ? Does he despise fans who does things like that ? BTW if answer is positive then is the address provided by the BBC Jarvis Cocker's Sunday Service website valid ?

 Thanks.

It's a pity I'm non-British so it's never possible to meet himcry

I'll try rough trade then. Really hope it works cause I've never been so crazy about any celebrity before.

He'd be more likely to sign a recent photo or one taken in the 90s? 

BTW just curious if he ever read them before burning them.

Well I'm on Twitter. And very easy to find too, as I'm Jarvgirl there as well!

 

my tip would be definitely not to call Jarv a "celebrity" to his face ;0)

I doubt the photo you choose will decide whether or not he signs it! (unless it's a really bad photo..)

I attempted to make a Twitter list full of people from this board @musicbymeiosis/pulppeople - may lead you to it (not sure how to link to them!) As for Jarvis... He's a properly, really nice bloke to chat too! I'd send your pic to sign - 1 to rough trade & 1 to BBC. No harm in asking is there?!

Ooh I wouldn't. I don't see him as a celeb cuz he's so down to earth and genuine. My ideology of celebrities would be someone that's so...what's the word...exiled from normality? I definitely think jarvis is a down to earth lovely guy. Or at least that's how he comes across in interviews...

Sigh. I really wanna meet him :(

When I met Jarvis at the initial book signing I noted that no one had their arms around him during the fan poses. Might be best to shake his hand and just stand alongside him.

Nobody hugged him when I met him either, my friends and I had a group photo with him as we'll as our own and we didn't even put our arms on him! 

i have seen a really creepy video of him being pestered somewhere and 1 person did ask if they could hug him, ever polite he said yes but didn't hug back and definitely didn't seem to want it.

I sent him a record to his BBC address and didn't get a reply so I just e-mailed the BBC e-mail he has to ask if he'd gotten it and I did get a reply saying he had and thanking me for the record and the scarf I'd made for him. I also met him at Radio City and he was very friendly, a bit shy, but very nice and surprisingly easy to talk to. I didn't feel nervous at all when I met him which was the opposite of what I expected.

This is a pretty typical example that comes up on Twitter fairly regularly - the pointing thing is definitely a trademark. Along with numerous tweets along the lines of "Jarvis is on my train". We saw him at Sheffield station the morning after the arena show and he was being beseiged by a group of women very excitedly getting their pictures taken with him while he was in the queue for the ticket machine.

Yeah, he pointed at my three friends but did a "how" hand sign with me, for our group pic he put both hands up in a kind of "i surrender" way and smiled. :)

 No I didn't hug him. I noticed what everyone else is saying which is that no one really hugged him. There was also a metal barrier between him and the fans that night which probably deterred people from asking.

May I ask an irrelevant question: do they still have his wax statue in Madame Tussauds or not?
If they do guess I'll visit London someday and take pictures there, that would good enough for me already.

I'll send a letter to rough trade with a photo but not expecting to get it back. He might be totally occupied everyday and international mails get lost all the time... But still worth an an attempt,
And thanks for the advice, I'll avoid the word "celebrity" in my letter.

Maybe artist would be better than celebrity.

I always feel surprised at how eager people seem to be to meet Jarvis, but then I guess he's different to so many artists because he's a personality, and that personality is integral to all of his work. He's very much like Alan Bennett in that respect- I've been to two talks with Alan Bennett over the last couple of months and he's so fascinating to listen to because you feel like you already know him, and exactly the same can be said for Jarvis.

A lot of threads on here tend to wander off course sometimes, but it's all right. It's just like having a normal conversation I think. You don't always stay right on track.
