Bermuda, do you have any idea of PH sales? We need to know how many we need to buy to push it over the top...

Yep, we need to know how many more we need to buy. I can just buy my best friend's b-day gift early...even if his b-day is in April.

Well, none of the places you mentioned are actually specifically music stores. Try FYE or Virgin (I'm assuming you're somewhere in Orange County if you went to the UVC signing last month). Even Target might be a better bet than WalMart.

When I was at Walmart the other day, I saw that they had TUVC. A little girl was looking at it. I told her that I recommended it.....then her sister came over and told her to put it down. D'oh!

I tried doing that once at a FYE, the whole "talk them into buying something" chat, but I guess I came off a bit too overzealous...they thought I actually worked there.

Oh well, at least they didn't turn the tables around and talk me into buying a Barry Manilow album or something.

Yeah, I'm in Orange County (Dana Point, to be precise) and there aren't that many Virgin's around here......the closest FYE is about a half hour's drive from here......I have looked in Target many, many times, but no luck. I tried asking one of the workers there, and his reply was:

Dana Point IS way down there! Is there another Virgin Megastore in OC besides the one at The Block in Orange? I dunno of any.

Well, you can call that FYE, ask them to hold a copy for you, and convince your parents for that half an hours drive. :)

Grammy nominations are usually followed by an increase in sales. Grammy wins are usually followed by a significant spike in sales :)
