Utada news update

On Utada's official website are 3 big updates. 1) She is making 5 in-store appearances in the US, 2) myspace Karaoke contest to win a trip to Japan to karaoke WITH Utada for 30 minutes plus 3 friends, and 3) leave a question for Utada to answer on Utada.com. Why does her SF appearance happen on a day I have to work? Here was my chance to possibly see the top of Utada's head or something as she ducked into a crowd of fans and to get terribly disappointed after waiting around for hours. I'm not being sarcastic here, I'm being serious. Seriously.
