Dave Chappelle DVD Signing in Culver City at 3pm

Sorry for the short notice, but with a guy like Chappelle you never quite know where he'll pop up...or when. Hell we've been waiting for him to re-appear on Comedy Central for years now.
But Los Angelenos, have no fear -- Rick James' favorite stoner is going to be at the Culver City Best Buy today at 3pm to sign his critically acclaimed "Block Party" DVD.
Last night the comedian made a surprise appearance at the Virgin Megastore, where he started signing DVDs at midnight to celebrate the release of the film that earned an impressive 93% fresh rating from Rotten Tomatoes.
Roger Ebert gushed, "Dave Chappelle's Block Party is a fairly disorganized film about a fairly disorganized concert, redeemed by the good feeling Chappelle sheds like a sunbeam on every scene."
So if you're over on the Wessssside and want to have a true original sign a DVD at a Best Buy you've got an hour to haul ass. Clock's tickin!
