When he does the bus signing thing, it's usually limited to one item and one picture per person.

I bet most of those pictures end up blurry. If I was faced with such a pressure as to take a picture with Al at first try, my hands would be shaking so badly I'd probably drop and break my phone before I can even open a camera app :wacko:

Usually a security guard (or a friend who's with you) will take the picture, as far as my experiences have gone

If you get a greet by the bus then you'll be lined up and most likely told like an autograph and a picture or question, though it would all depend on the circumstances surrounding that time. Al would never put a limit on how much he would sign but common sense and courtesy would suggest not bringing more than you can carry in one hand to get signed. If it's by the bus then they would be getting ready to leave so he obviously wouldn't wanna sign more than like two things for each person considering everybody wants to say something and get a picture....time consuming affair. (posted at the same time as the above post)
Haha. I'm actually including the 14 albums plus all the singles on separate CDs like "The Saga Begins", "White and Nerdy", etc. Plus "Peter and the Wolf" and "Babalu Music". It's hard to choose what I would have him sign.

Spoiler: He lip syncs the falsetto parts in Tacky :P To be honest, I really don't see why he felt the need to do that. It sounded fine on Conan, but when you listen to the live version, you can clearly tell that the falsetto parts are from the studio track.

I've been crossing my fingers (& toes) since the tour was announced that there would be a concert DVD. If I don't make it to any shows this time around I'd love to at least see it in HD from the comfort of my home.

Some people say I'm the one who got Al to be in an Epic Rap Battles of History.

I am not sure. I wasn't expecting Alpocalypse to get a live tour DVD, but it did. Mandatory Fun's success surely would warrant a concert DVD, but seeing as we JUST got one a couple years ago, I doubt there would be another one. (Keep in mind, the time between the release of the RWS Tour DVD and Alpocalypse was about 13 years)

Yeah its like a 50/50 chance. It has already been closer to 4 years since the Alpocalypse Tour DVD came out and this tour is completely different so they just may but the dates for the Toronto shows were announced as a DVD shoot before the official Alpocalypse Tour began but maybe they will do one near the end of the tour this time. I would love to see another one and this is the final "album" tour which is something special, as is the new order of the set so yeah, let's keep our fingers crossed.
What a racket they're makin', Jack, they keep me up at night playin' their electric guitars!!
