This is Tasha and Sarah, reporting with a review.

Tasha states, "It was awesome."
SArah states, "Omg, I thought I was gonna asplode...."

We got to the fair around 7:30. Sarah had a hard time finding a parking spot. She thought she found the perfect one, so she parked and turned off the car. There were two staff members nearby and they were staring at Sarah weirdly. Sarah and Tasha weren't sure if they were in a legal parking spot. We just kind of sat there waiting for them to come up to us and say something like hey, youre not supposed to park here. But they didnt. So we turned off the engine. Then they walked over really slowly and he said, "Ma'am...................you just parked in a lane."

Anyhoos, on to the concert! Unfortunately, Sarah was attacked by a seven foot tall hermaphrodite with a flock of seagulls haircut with only one nostril and he took her ticket, so she ended up sitting wayyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy in the back with all the smelly people. Actually, Sarah just didn't have a ticket. Tasha, however, was fortunate enough to sit in teh front row in section 1. Yes, someone didn't claim their seat, which was Floor 1 Seat 1 Row A...so Tasha STOLE IT!!!!!!.

The show started out, as you know, with the traditional FUN ZONE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Sarah asks tasha, "What was your reaction upon hearing those first notes of fun zone"

"It was.......*laughs*.......*eats an egg*.......IT WAS INCREDIBLE, it was a moment...it was just....INCREDIBLE!!........Well what was your reaction, Sarah?" - Tasha

"I nearly peed myself."

He came out singing Polkarama....and when he reached the 'somebody told me' part, it seemed as if he forgot some of the words to the beginning.

Then he started rocking out to CANADIANNNNN Idiot.........And at the end of the song canadian colored streamers flew out of cannons and showered the audience. Tasha was lucky enough to obtain some of these streamers.

Then he continued on with CLOSE, but nooooooo cigar. He danced really sexy to this one, yep, Tasha would like to make a comment about his sexiness:

"Yes..............yes."

Alrighty, so then after that he came out and greeted the audience and explained that he would only play the orange county fair again IFFFFF he was allowed to do a song that contained random palindromes. So he did.

That's right folks, he played BOB.

Tasha freaked out when he sang the line "AH, SATAN SEES NATASHA!"

Cus, you know, her name is natasha. get it? good.

So....


We're pretty sure he played All about the pentiums next. It reeked of awesomeness. Sarah would like to make a comment about the perfromance.

"Dude, I just love the way the lights...like....flash........really fast.......chyeah."

HIGHLIGHTS OF THE SHOW:

Apparently, Al thinks Tasha must have fallen from heaven, which, WOULD explain how she messed her face.

During ILL SUE YA, al dollar bills were shot out of the cannons, but they flew the other way, away from the audience. Not a lot of people got some, but we managed to find some thanks to the lovely security guard that pointed one out to us!

During the medley, Al started to sing, what appeared to be HEADLINE NEWS, but instead of singing about Britney spears or whatever, he sang about PARIS HILTON!! It was extremely hilarious, fun time was had by all. The crowd roared with laughter when he sang the line, "Why should we give a crap about her?" or something like that.

MORE DONUTS IN ALBUQUERQUE!!!!!!!!

..

Al sang WE ALL HAVE CELL PHONES SO LETS GET REAL. And everyone in the audience except for me and tasha, pulled out their cell phones...apparently we're stuck in 1991 and we can't get real. Then al screamed, "WHOEVER HAS A CELL PHONE STAND UP!!!!!!!!!!!!!!" We awkwardly stood up, even though we didn't have cell phones. We will tonight though because were going to draw them on a piece of paper!!!!!

Oh, Sarah would also like to make a note that YODA WAS PLAYED IN THE MIDDLE OF THE CONCERT!!!!!!!! It felt really weird. It didn't seem right, but it was still awesome either way. A good time was had by all!

Finally, the concert was over ;( BUT ........THE FUN WASNT OVEr!!! We hung out with some WOWAYERS for a little bit after the show, getting our picture taken. GROUP PICTURES!!! Sarah would also like to make a special thankyou to kevin and cid for...well...you know ;-)

ANYWAYS.......AFter that we did the most important thing EVER.....WE BOUGHT MERCHANDISE!!!!!!!!! Tasha bought a WEIRD AL IS MY HOMEBOY t-shirt and Sarah bought ...a shirt with tourdates on the back mhm.

OK, so we went back to our car...well...first of all....we had the HARDEST TIME finding the car. OK, and we had to go under these strings and tasha got stuck. Ok, and in the middle of it all, SARAH DROPPED HER BRAND NEW WEIRD AL SHIRT IN THE MIDDLE OF THE STREET WHERE CARS WERE PASSING BY!!!!!!! Sarah had to run out in the middle of the street right into the path of on oncoming car....its headlights shone on her and it stopped. Sarah looked at the vehicle like a cow looks at an oncoming........car.........and screamed, "I JUST WANT MY SHIRT!!!!!!!!!!!!!" and ran way.

We finally found our way out of that CONFUSING parking lot and got SLURPEES AT THE LOCAL 7-11!!! Until next time (like, tonight..i mean..tomorrow)

Sarah :Y

and

Tasha! (~~**~~PrincessBob~~**~~)

He became Francine back in 76' and then he joined that cult. I think his name is Mother Shibubu now.

Oh neither am I, but I thought that flub made that part of the song even funnier :D

Yeah, they mistakes only add to the performance.

Princessbob, was it you that I gave a Yankobuck and a brownie to? I'm trying to remember who I gave one of them too. I had one out for Al to sign if he was going a meet and greet and a kid, while running away, tried to steal it, but my grip was too hard and his hand slipped off. If he just asked, I would have given it to him, but I hate people who steal.

Thanks for the awesome and entertaining review, Tasha and Sarah! Have fun tonight with your paper cell phones! Heck, I just waved my arm in the air at CityFest. I didn't have a cell phone, either.
4 words that Al said to me that blew me away:

"How's Problem Child doing?" - 7/12/11

So awesome!

Thanks, and I like your hair too! I thought you were Al for a second while I looked back. Everyone looks like Al these days... Glad you liked the brownie if he does another concert this tour that I can get to, I should make them again. The complements were worth getting up early for. :) (Even if it was 5 in the morning...)

I'm here in OC and I love it.

We had WDTAHTM tonight. A couple mistakes here and there.

We had stormtroopers and Darth Vader on stage! It was so awesome and funny when they started to groove to the music.

We had some really strange pet names. Sugar clavicle...Yep.

I need to stop drop and roll now...I'm on fire. :onfire:
