I haven't received any official announcement regarding the NY in-stores but it is definitely happening. Someone named 'Virgin Marketing' posted this in the comments section of a previous article and it seems accurate:

From Virgin Megastore

With the purchase, you will receive your V.I.P. pass for an EXCLUSIVE signing with Morrissey on FRIDAY OCTOBER 20TH AT 5:00PM. Pass quantities are limited. Passes are limited to one per customer!!

This week (w/b 9/10) was the turn of The Smiths with comment from Linder, Richard Boon (former Buzzcocks manager), Dave Haslam (Manchester author and DJ), Paul Morley, and Mike Joyce and a Smiths fan.

Interestingly there was an onscreen credit for Morrissey for some of the artwork eg 'Hand In Glove' and the Charlie Bubbles 'How Soon Is Now'. This was the third programme and there have been no previous credits so I wonder if it was at Morrissey's insistence.

No revelations in the programme - someone (possibly Morley) said that the artwork was Morrissey's bedroom walls made public which is cool.

Phill 'scooby doo' also writes: Monday 9th October, Manchester's Granada TV serving the North West of England showed a 30 minute programme 'Cover stories' featuring covers of records from The Smiths and Frankie Goes To Hollywood. Interviews with Mike Joyce, Jo Slee, Paul Morley (music journalist) and a Morrissey looking Smiths fan. Joyce revealed his mother's disapproval of the naked man on 'Hand In Glove' and was therefore quietly pleased that only half of the picture made it on to the cover of the first album after being shocked when shown the full picture. It was suggested by someone else interviewed that Morrissey was saying 'I am gay' by choosing these pictures!!

I was at the Billy Bragg concert at the Danforth Music Hall in Toronto Canada on October the 8th and at the concert Billy prewiewed a few new songs. One of them, a particularly catchy and funny song called "Half-English" (I believe) starts with the lines "From Morris dancing to Morrissey, England La La something something..." So it was quite amusing.

Anyway, it's a great song and should become quite popular among this set.
