World of Weird Al Yankovic

Looks like they will be handing out wristbands.

September 26, 7pm
Meet Weird Al Yankovic
Purchase Al's new CD "Straight Outta Lynwood" at Virgin Hollywood & Highland on 9/26 and get a wristband that will guarantee you admission to this exclusive event!

Aah, I hope I can get a wristband! *pulls out hair*

I'm wondering if they are going to show the "White & Nerdy" video at the signing! That would be so wonderful!

I thought I saw somewhere that there was an official link to the video?

There was a Google Video link somewhere that just led to an animated graphic of a thing (was it a banana?) dancing up and down to the song.

So, maybe those of you that have been to signings there before can answer a few questions.

1. How can we find out if we'll be able to get more than one thing signed? (I'd really like to ask him to sign the Al-endar with my picture in it!)

2. Do you think if we get there around 2 or 3 it will be too late to get a wristband?

3. Were pictures allowed at past signings?

1. Last time, they were saying Al would sign only the new album. I think he made a few exceptions, but I wouldn't count on it. There's likely to be a whole lotta people waiting behind you, after all.

2. No clue. They handled the wristbands differently last time (you prepurchased the album before the day)

3. At first they said no, then they said pics were OK if you took them "on the fly"-- no posing and no delaying the line.

Thanks Helen!

I suppose one way you could get around this is if you're with someone who doesn't have an album, and have them try to get it signed. But you're right, there's no guarantee he'll sign non-album paraphernalia (or if the store people will let him, even ).

I would love to get Al to sign some of my vinyl records of his while I'm there. . .but I don't want to be the jerk in line having him sign 12 different things and holding up the line.

Still. . .maybe I'll bring one .

If you buy 27 CDs I'm sure he'll be happy to make an exception for you. They make great Ground Hog's Day gifts.
