Glad everyone had a great time. My brother loved the show despite missing the polka and CI. My 13 year old cousin told Al "I came all the way from Israel just to see your show!" d:) My mom texted me to tell me she met you, Dave!

Ah, that was your cousin! I noticed we had a signature on the petition from Israel! Very cool.

I got my best shots online here (those are the only really good ones out of 200. I guess I'm not very skilled when it comes to concert photography

). Kind of a bummer that we couldn't get pictures "with Al", just with him signing our stuff (in my case, the insert from my UHF DVD). 'Twas a great show and fun time, though.

OH...you were the group sitting off to the right side of the steps, weren't you? I think I recognize you. You guys were quite enthusiastic

I am s l o w l y getting my pix uploaded. Photobucket is taking FOREVER to upload for me...assuming it doesn't just gunk up and stop. I upload from the end of the show and go forward, and at this point, I am just wrapping up AP. Hopefully tonight!

Nice pics! By the way, just out of curiosity, what is that in front of Steve that says "Danger"?

Yeah, we were in the third and fourth seats to the right of the steps. But our "group" was just the two of us in the picture with Al. While I was pretty enthusiastic myself, you might be thinking of the gentleman who was seated right behind me. After every song he would scream "Woo woo woo woo! Oh yeah! Oh yeah!" I couldn't be as enthusiastic as him if I tried (which I did).

That is the confetti cannon--it also says "Stand clear. Really"

DR. Ebay--yeah I was thinking of that guy! He was pretty excited. I was sitting just to the other side of the steps from you.

You're welcome, Keir. I heard back from the guy I contacted. Read what he said here!

Well, I've not had a computer to get toi for at least 3 days now, but I'll give my reveiw as best I can remember it...

My dad used to live relatively close to the Keswick so we went around his childhood places till aboot 6:05.

When we got to the Keswick we couldn't go in till 6:30, so we got a little history of the theatre, I got a few RH sigs, then my dad and I headed inside.

The staff helped set up the Petition Table (YEAH!!!) and it it was only about 2 mins before albinodwarf showed up, unpacked, introduced herself, and started getting sigs. I instantly whipped out my clipboard and started as well. (I didn't do near as good as you, AD!) We collected sigs toill abround 7:25, when I left the table and put ALL of my petition pages (around 8 or 9) in AD's folder. (Nice meeting you, Elvis!! Finally!)

I went down to my 3rd row seat ($58.00 out of my allowance, whew!!) where I found Dad, reading Al's bio for the show. That annoying announcer with a lisp gave us the 411 of R&R (Rules & Regulations...who cares???). The fun began just as he stopped speaking. I turned to Dad and said, "OK, Dad. The first thing you'll hear is this loud "Boooooop..." (Fun Zone) It started and Dad siad, "Oh, like that?'

The fans and I went nuts as usual. It did the opening "'Weird Al' Yankovic Montage" (When did Robin Williams say Al's name?) and ran like a normal show. EXCEPT...

1. The Stormtroopers and Vader were TOTALLY new and TOTALLY awesome to me!

2. DIFFERENCES IN "ALBUQUERQUE":
