PoA Autograph Booth
More news on the signings at the PoA tour. This is from Katherine who went to the Dallas show:"To get to the signing, you first have to find the FYE booth at the venue. It's set up in blue. Then, they will tell you to buy a Mutter CD ($22 a piece). Once you have done that, they will give you the videotape and a wristband to go backstage. They will also give you the time to come back to the booth. We were supposed to be back at 9:45 p.m. to leave "immediately", but we didn't actually go downstairs until after 10 p.m. However, people were lined up at 9:30 p.m. Anyhoo, DON'T lose the wristband. They checked us three times before we got downstairs. And, it's a one-item-only signing and they run you through in a line. However, we were among the first in and they were letting us stop for a moment to shoot pictures and actually meet the band."
