Here's some information regarding the Baltimore autograph session:

Thursday, July 16th
Venue : SONAR Baltimore
Location :407 E Saratoga St Baltimore MND 21202
Time : 2:00pm - 3:00pm (EST)

*NO PHOTOGRAPHY!

The autograph/meet 'n greet session is on a "first come, first serve" basis. As far as I am concerned, at this time, there will be no "separate line" for the meet 'n greet. Which is to say that if you're in line early for the concert, you'll get to meet the band. I'm not sure at this time of any more specific details such as how many people will be able to meet the band. They will try to fit in as many people as possible for the autograph session. The session will only be an hour long, so however many people they can get in within that time frame will be able to get an autograph. Make sense? I hope so...Good luck and have fun to those who will attend the show/autograph session!!

Much VAMPS-love,
H.P.

*RULES:
1. NO PHOTOGRAPHY! It sucks, but they want to keep the line moving as quickly as possible, so as to give as many people as possible the opportunity to meet VAMPS.

2. ONLY fans who have purchased tickets to the Baltimore concert can attend. That's to say, only those with proof of purchased physical tickets (i.e. receipts or the ticket itself), print-outs, or print-outs that have the LIVENATION barcode on them can attend the event.

3. Contest winners, those who are on a "guest list," "VIP list," or were given press invites CAN NOT attend the autograph session. Contest winners of any kind, unfortunately, are unable to attend the autograph session.

4. ONLY VAMPS merchandise can be autographed. Goods such as: VAMPS CD's, Monthly VAMPS magazines, VAMPS Live 2008 DVD, VAMPS t-shirts, VAMPS bags, etc...Any HYDE/HYDEIST/non-VAMPS merchandise WILL NOT be autographed. Also, if you currently do not own any VAMPS merchandise, they will be selling VAMPS merch while you are in line.

5. This rule isn't listed on VAMPS' official MySpace blog, but I thought that this might be good to mention anyway. Please be courteous to your fellow fans! Remember, an hour can go by very, very quickly. Please keep your comments to VAMPS short, so as to give other people the opportunity to meet them. Don't take away someone else's chance of meeting VAMPS simply because you decided to tell VAMPS your life's story. I mean, we are all excited about this opportunity and it truly is a once-in-a-lifetime deal, but please refrain from chattering away and holding up the line. It's not cool. Also, please be respectful to VAMPS themselves. I don't think they'd appreciate if you started asking them very personal questions or making comments about their personal lives. I know this stuff is common sense, but I thought I'd post this anyway.

Hmm...yes, this is in fact very unprecedented. I mean, VAMPS don't do such things for their fans in Japan. So, even if they decide to not hold an autograph session for the rest any other west coast dates, I'm glad that they're even doing this.

I think a lot of us are getting caught up in this. While it's understandable that fans may be disappointed if VAMPS won't hold a session for the shows they are attending, we need to remember that we should be grateful that they have chosen to come to the states in the first place. Of course, it would be great if we could somehow obtain an autograph from VAMPS, we need to remember that they are extremely busy and will more than likely be exhausted, so we need to keep that into account.

Please remember the bigger picture everyone and please try, as hard as it may be, to not to be angry or upset. The VAMPS staff are working very, very hard, but they can't always please everyone. Best wishes to those who are able to attend the sessions!!

Much VAMPS-love,
H.P.

Very well said. I am personally just eternally thankful that they are even coming to America to entertain us.

^ no kidding. I mean i am very grateful they ARE doing them but i keep thinking why oh why does it have to be at the shows I'm not attending lol but i was thinking.. maybe they are doing them at the lives that aren't selling as well as the others to help sell tickets? I mean what better way to motivate people to come because its not everyday you get a chance to meet HYDE/Kaz

I would give anything to go to one of them but i have already bought plane tickets/hotels/concert tickets to the CA/Vegas shows so there no way i can change travel plans now.

Thank you. Yeah...I've been waiting 3 years for this. Some people have waited a lifetime. I just can't wait until that moment VAMPS walk out on stage and I stop breathing. ;) *j/k*

Ha! No you are not! I actually figure that I will be standing there turning blue until they start and then I will start breathing.

I hope I don't faint T_T I've waited 9 years to see hyde x_x

Haha, I think fainting in front of him would be embarrassing. Not how I would want to be remembered! And if you fainted during the concert, then you would miss the show.

I hope everyone who wants their autograph gets it ^_^

I don't really care about autographs so I don't think I'll be getting in line for it. If they wanted to give me their autograph willingly (like, if we ran into each other on the street and they offered) then I would be glad to receive it, but I don't want to ask for one.

I hope I'll be able to watch though. I'd love to see everyone's reactions.
