    Seems more like a confirmation on what people have been speculating than any surpising Morrissey news...

    I guess we Morrissey fans can't wait to have the news officially annouced...but of course we have to speculate...

    Nice to know its officially confirm, and see you all there

              Monday midnight OR Tuesday midnight? (Score:1)
              Hmm... I wonder if the signing is really going to be at midnight on Monday, or do they really mean midnight on Tuesday since the DVD will be officially released on Tuesday, Oct. 17. If the signing is going to be at midnight on Monday then we'll be lining up Sunday night. But if it's Tuesday midnight, then we'll all be in line on Monday night. People tend to screw that up quite often.

              Midnight (12:00 a.m.) is actually the start of the next day. So what they probably mean to say is that the signing will be at 12:00 a.m. Tuesday morning (the official release date of the DVD), which means we'll all be lining up Monday night. Right? But just in case, I'll be waiting Suday night as well!

                      I can't believe the number of people who are apparently not paying attention! Why would you line up on Sunday when it clearly says Tuesday is the day it is released, and you already have figured out that midnight applies to the NEXT day- so you would be there MONDAY nite...and can I say, if anyone is familiar with the wristband format- you don't have to wait in line! I am sure they will tell you when you get it to be at the store just about 15 minutes or so before midnite so as when they call the number (the first number they call will be the number- say 119, and if you have 118, you are at the end of the line), that means we can all gather in a group if we wanted, as long as the que organizes itself by midnight...alrighty...now. What else?

                      Yes, Morrissey is making money doing this, but it all has to do with what he did with Reprise contractually years ago. They have some rights to his videos and music, and this was their choice to release this montage of videos...It is to some of his fans benefit that he has agreed to the signing: is it just jealousy rearing ugly heads on the board or are people really disappointed that we have yet another way to enjoy him?

                      As far as getting the wristbands go, sorry to the guy who will happen to be at the right place on the wrong dates...I am sure there are plenty of us who would get you a wristband- regardless of your special station of claiming to have his address; all I can say is, they only give them one per person who are physically standing in the line. Good luck waiting outside his home...you MIGHT catch a glimpse of him if you are that odd!

                      Whew, sorry to be so lengthy.

                      Good luck to those getting wristbands...I'll be there hopefully in time:::crossing fingers traffic is forgiving!:::

"Oye Esteban" will be released on Tuesday of the same week. Those who purchase it will be given a VIP (I think this is the way he put it) pass for the Friday signing. Didn't see flyers for the event, though.

I got there around 5:30 am, I was surprised to see that there were 100 or so people in line already. Moz heads camped out, and had quite a party as I could tell. This one guy was still drunk when the line started to move. Although I am very pissed off, due to the fact that there are so many rules to the appearance.

                            The tickets and wristbands were giving out occording to the place you are in line. Tickets started at 090600 and run to 0990900.
                            If the last 3 digits on your ticket are 600, you are the first person in line. Well I got number 766, so I guess I'm the 166 person in line.

                            I was in line next to Jose, we started to chat a bit, and complimented him on everything and so forth. All in all it was cool, I got to meet alot of new Moz fans. Oh hi to Laura if your reading this. I'll be going to the show tonight and record the Hooligans. See you there.
