Spring Awakening CD Signing at Virgin Megastore (2007) - Request

Random question....

Was anyone at the Spring Awakening in-store performance/album signing at the Virgin Megastore back in January of 2007??

I was there but during the signing my booklet got lost in the shuffle & I never got it back-- someone must have walked off with it.  (There were a lot of cast members there.  It was kind of chaotic & not organized very well.)  One of the publicists noticed me just hanging at the end of the table, when I was beginning to realize what happened.  He asked what I was doing & I told him I was waiting for my booklet.  He then handed me a pre-signed booklet & I thanked him & scurried off.  (I was self-conscious & didn't want to be accused of loitering or anything!)

It wasn't until I got home when I realized that the CD booklet I was handed only had a few signatures of the supporting cast.  They had apparently started to pre-sign some booklets with the cast but they halted that when the actual fan signing got underway.  So I was handed a partially-signed CD booklet.    I wish I had noticed before leaving the store but oh well. 

Anyway, it's been like 8.5 years since that event but it has always bothered me.  I spent all that time waiting yet never managed to get my album signed by the cast. (As far as the partially signed booklet goes, I sold it a number of years ago for a very small price b/c it had no real value to me.)  I was wondering if anyone was there that day & can post a photo of their album!  I just want to see what I missed out on, as pathetic as that sounds!  Maybe it will give me some closure!  Haha

It just dawned on me now to ask someone on this board.  Someone else HAD to have been there!

(For the album signing portion of the event, I remember Duncan Sheik & Steven Sater were the first ones we approached at the table.  And I seem to recall Duncan Sheik personalizing.  So if that was in fact the case, someone out there has an extra CD booklet with my name on it! )
