Yeah, I'm getting about $420, but I'm just eyeing the prices right now. Prices can really change. I know last time I went, I was seeing about this price, waited a couple of months and noticed it went down $70. I'll pay this price if I have to, but I'd rather not.

I'll keep checking. It looks like no matter what, I'm going to have to find a really cheap hotel in order to be able to do this.

1st day: Missing was Horoscope, PATLC, OMM, DED, and Melanie.
2nd day: Melanie and Horoscope.
3rd day: Trash Day or OMM.
4th day: Horoscope and DED.
5th day: Melanie or PATLC.

So who knows this time around.

That can't be 100% correct- I went to the third and fifth show.

He never did Trash Day, but he did Melanie and OMM both times (I remember that for sure!!

) He also did PATLC both times.

At most venues, I think he has to cut one or two songs, depending on how long the show is allowed to be, or other issues. It also makes each show slightly different.

That's what I have from my review notes, so who knows how accurate, but I try hard from those times. Most of the time I was in AIH while writing out my notes.

Kevbo, you could try to stay at someone's house during all this. I'm sure some Al fan around there wouldn't mind to keep you at their house or if you need a hotel, share one with another Al fan.

That's a good suggestion. Now I just need to find someone who lives nearby who wouldn't mind having a houseguest. I'm really not any trouble. I'd be a quiet guest, I promise.

I wish I could help you guys out, but we don't have a spare room anymore. That, and I'm pretty sure my dad would kill me. lol.

He will most likely be in the stadium again. That's where he's always been.

As they are, Weird Al shows have less music than I'd want and perhaps more costume changes than I need. I wouldn't want to travel to Orange County for a truncated set. And the songs he cuts are usually the ones I most want to hear, in the first half of his show. The second half of the show has the songs I care least to hear after hearing Amish Paradise, Fat and Smells Like Nirvana on three tours, I wouldn't mind seeing them cut for something less expected.

This is all really starting to come together for me. I may have found a place to stay, which will take care of that part of the money situation. I think I should be able to get people to give me money for my birthday, which I hope will cover my airfare. How much is admission/tickets for this usually? I would imagine it's not too much, but I need to work that into my budget as well. California, here I come!
