They don't close for another 13 minutes! You can post a lot in that time!
LOL! I just got home to San Diego. I logged off at the Apple store as soon as I posted.
Main page stuff is all accurate...We weren't sure what was going on because the audience ppl told us that Morrissey had already filmed his bits because of his schedule. They said if you were only there for Morrissey and didn't want to stay to give them your tickets and they would notify you next time he was going to do a taping at the CBS studios and you'd get priority entrance, etc. They said if you wanted to stay that would be great too.
I was with Crystal Geezer and we decided "what the hell, let's stay" since I took the day off of work and drove 2 hrs from San Diego for this. When we gave the lady our tickets, they wrote a 1 on our hands -- I've never been to a taping before so I was like
Turns out that meant we got to sit in Row 1 and all the other Moz fans were placed in Row 2 for some reason. (However once in the studio, Row 2 seemed to be more like Rows 4+)
The studio was TINY and there was band equipment set up. I think the warm-up comedian told us that the studio seats 113 people. We're sitting there waiting and the studio crew was walking about setting stuff up, and then I realize, "That's Solomon standing there."
"Oh and Jesse. And Boz!"
The warm-up comedian then told us, "uhh we have a little surprise for you. Morrissey is here."
I screamed like a little girl and blew out Crystal Geezer's right eardrum and starting crying little tears of joy!!!! I think Morrissey saw me freaking out since I was front row center
As posted on the mainpage, Morrissey was wearing a grey (sort of silvery?) blazer with dark grey trousers and an American Idol tshirt! He sang "All You Need Is Me" and when he was done, he took his jacket off to fully expose his American Idol tshirt
The shirt was really tight and he looked quite svelte! His PA came out a few moments later to tell him something and then he said something regarding not being allowed to wear the tshirt because Idol is on another network. I think someone in the audience yelled, "take it off then!"
His PA told him to put his blazer back on. Then he sang "Irish Blood, English Heart."
He looked great, happy, healthy, etc. His part was over too quickly, I think I was in shock from being told he wasn't there, blah blah, and then finding out he was RIGHT THERE!
p.s. Crystal Geezer and I went to Pinkberry before we went to queue and a cover of "Sweet and Tender Hooligan" played. I swear it was a sign!
Cozza: *high five back* someone's been giving me really good luck lately, it's a little crazy. Maybe I need to buy some lottery tickets!!!
