UPDATE 12.08.13 4:48pm EST: The Queue Is Dead — No Morrissey signing, after all. LOL.
If we thought Black Friday sales caused mass hysteria among shoppers, just wait until next week, when Morrissey is scheduled to appear at a New York Barnes & Noble to sign his new Autobiography.
Whoa. It’s Moz Thursday!
The singer — and now best-selling author — will appear Thursday, December 12 from 7 to 9pm at the Barnes & Noble in Union Square, located at 33 East 17th St. The retailer warns us that there will be no live performance, or even a reading, but Mozzer will sign copies for those who buy the book on premises. “Your receipt for book = ticket!”
This is going to be a massive shitshow.
The news was announced via twitter this afternoon.
Thursday 12/12 at 7PM: MORRISSEY. No performance/reading, but a straight signing of his new autobiography. Your receipt for book = ticket!
