I was told by Tower Records that they were only giving out 800 passes, then I ran into a guy in line with his girlfriend, who told me that they got their passes that morning!!! He told me that they were giving out 1000 passes.  The passes are all up to the record label. >2) You could buy the CD and wait in line behind the people with passes >in hopes of getting in.

a whole bunch of people that didn’t have passes got in.  One girl got her promo Ozzman Cometh poster signed. >3) They were signing only the BS Reunion CD/ booklet.  This is for time >and efficency probably (and to sell the CD).  Some people with the CD >were lucky and got something else signed. >4) They signed over three hours and I’m pretty sure everybody with the >CD got the chance. >5) It was cool but went very fast to try get everyone in.

All I can tell you folks is, in Boston MA we were only allowed to have one thing signed and if it did not have Black Sabbath on it, it was not even looked at. I have an Ozzy poster that is 14 years old and Ozzy would not sign it Oh well life goes on!!!  Good luck in your venture to get an autograph!!! Tell me what happens.

I went to Tower/ Sunset in LA last night for the signing.  The fliers did not give all the details. 1) Passes for the signing (1500) were sold with the CD starting Tuesday at the store of the event and were gone three days before the event. 2) You could buy the CD and wait in line behind the people with passes in hopes of getting in. 3) They were signing only the BS Reunion CD/ booklet.  This is for time and efficency probably (and to sell the CD).  Some people with the CD were lucky and got something else signed. 4) They signed over three hours and I’m pretty sure everybody with the CD got the chance. 5) It was cool but went very fast to try get everyone in. 6) I got there at 4 pm/ event at 7/ at 9 or 9:30 all the VIP passes were through.  It was supposed to go till ten. 7) People without the CD were not allowed to go in. It was a long wait, but really cool and worth it. Oh and Ozzy was really cool…  My crazy friend said some nutty greeting that made him stop, look up and wrinkle his brow and crack a smile. They are playing the LA Forum on 1/5/99, tickets on sale 11/14/98. Dan
