I'd like to announce that this is officially my 27th post!

I'm just about ready to leave for the show, and I'm waiting for my friend, Melodie to come and get me. For those of you who are going to be there, Mel and I have section 103, row A seats 119 and 121. I'd love it if people would come by and say HI!! I'll be wearing black and my hair will be up. Oh, and you can't miss the orange glasses.

Hope you all have fun!!

Have fun tonight, guys! If someone next to you is carrying fruit or other throwable items with them, duck during I'll Sue Ya.

Yeah, I'll be interested to see if he changes the lyrics to I'll Sue Ya (or doesn't play it altogether). I feel like he's gotta do something; of course it's a joke, but a somewhat mean-spirited one.

On a related note, has he played Canadian Idiot in Canada? I feel like that might be less of a problem, cause half of it (or, if you look at it a certain way, all of it) is actually making fun of America.

Al makes no changes. Canadian Idiot went over well in Canada. I'll Sue Ya has been going over well (so far) in NJ. People in Canada and NJ do have senses of humor -- they have to

And, dare I say it, the totally humorless are seriously in the wrong place at a Weird Al concert.

Ok, I just got home, and boy are my ears ringing!! The show was amazing!! We were in the front row. I didn't bring my camera to this one, and too bad, because some cool things happened. I'm not going to take the fun out of letting everyone tell their stories, so I'm just going to tell two things. He did Why Does This Always Happen To Me! YAY! I love that one so much more than Bob! And during fat, the Ho came out in a storm trooper mask. Funny!

Right before the encore, the security guard told everyone in the front row that we should go up and stand at the edge of the stage. That was so awesome! We leaned on the stage for the whole encore! I was right in front of the speaker though, so my ears are ringing a little.

I got a LOT of bucks during I'll Sue Ya. They came down right on top of us. Man, those things are hard to catch. No one in our section of the front row seemed to be grabbing them, so my friend Melodie and I were reaching around on the ground and picking them all up. We also got a bunch on the stage afterwards. I haven't even counted how many I got. Mel gave me all the ones she grabbed and just kept one.

All in all, I'd say it was a favulous night, and totally worth paying way more than I should for the tickets on ebay!

Can't wait to the show in NYC!

Back from the show!

Just a couple of quick notes, as others are better at the expansive reviews than I am....

* Yes, New Jersey sucked, and we all reveled in our suckitude!
* Darth Vader made an appearance, flanked by five stormtroopers, for The Saga Begins, and they boogied in the background during the whole song... and at the end, Vader waved his lightsaber high in the air in a lighter-during-an-encore type way... it was awesome.

Awesome review, Rachael! You got to lean on the stage for the entire encore?? Wow! That's so cool! Sounds like you had a blast! Congrats on all the Yankobucks! I have yet to get one, although my friend Kari snagged one in Lansing, and said she'd let me have it. I do still have a chance on September 23rd, though. Anyway, thanks for your review!

Adrian, glad you had a good time! hehe, funny story about the light saber. Man, it would be so cool to see Darth Vader and storm troopers on stage. It seems these Star Wars groups are expanding, and showing up at more concerts. Cool!

Thanks for the review, Rachael ... sounds like it was a great concert, and I am glad you had a good time!

Adrian, same goes to you ... there were no Storm Troopers (Or Vader) at the concert I went to; sounds like a blast, though.
