The Brazilian dates are still unconfirmed... In Rio de Janeiro and Curitiba the spokesperson for the venues says the dates are not even on reserve. So, I start wondering if the shows are really going to happen...

...The Metropolitan site (Rio de Janeiro) is announcing another artist for March 29th and 30th. His name is João Gilberto and he is the Bossa Nova "father".

Pittsburgh, PA - Venue changed from Metropol to the A.J. Palumbo Center (link from Jeffrey). From Nate:

The Pittsburgh show (Feb. 17th) has been moved from Metropol to the larger A.J. Palumbo Center due to an overwhelming demand.

The snag? Metropol was general admission and I believe the Palumbo center has assigned seats. So check with the box office to see how to exchange your tickets for new ones.

If you have tickets to the Metropol show you should take them to the Ticketmaster outlet where you got them to exchange them. You can do that starting 10AM Wednesday the 9th of Feb.

Chicago, IL - is sold out. From Shenay:

Something I came across on Metromix, an online Chicago entertainment guide:

Morrissey
Chicago Theatre
175 N. State St.

Over the past 15 years, Morrissey has indulged in enough self-absorption, mopery and petulant whining to be mistaken for a player in the NBA, yet he's somehow evolved into an icon for introverted misfits and outcasts everywhere. Perhaps that's because, unlike other pop culture celebs, Morrissey has shown a willingness to skewer himself as well as mainstream society in a series of catchy pop singles that fuse sharp riffs and arch wit. But whether this master of the maudlin can hold his own in today's more assertive pop music scene is open to question. Sold out.

-Rick Reger

Never considered myself a "misfit" but am beginning to wonder with all the stereotyping.

Hamilton, ON - Valentine's Day contest ad, scan from Michael Gordon:

...an ad from a local weekly entertainment/social commentary magazine in Toronto called "eYe"... I can't recall the last time Moz got any media attention no matter how small in this city!
