The kids were great and a few of them were singing along, some of them were just trying to pick up all the Yankobucks off the stage and floor, but they were all having a good time. It was a very sweet scene and Al gave them all a lot of attention.

OE saved me from having to walk four miles to the hotel when my cab driver failed to show!! Our day was filled with missed connections, but it all turned out well in the end.

OE, I'm glad you at least got the end of the show!

Sounds like everyone had a good time at the first show of the second leg!!

Well, MY cell phone has a timer function... :ph34r:
"Weird Al" has a charisma that's all his own. The awkward, the misshapen, the socially inept flock to his banner.

You know how most new cell phones these days have a camera for pics? Well, mine can also take video with that lens. And it has a MicroSD card slot so the recording length is basically unlimited. :F

Finally, my review of the day with my dad!


Well, it all started at about 8 a.m. Then, I watched YouTube videos of last year's shows until 10 a.m. (I was exicted, okay?!)

I got up, got dressed, and rushed downstairs.

Boy, my family was HUNGRY, so we drove over to this nice place called "Buffet-Asia" or somthing like that.
It was too big a meal for me. At about 12 noon (my dad was on the phone for quite a while), we left.

Then, from 12 noon to 1:15 p.m., I didn't do anything particular. I surfed the inter-web for a while.

From 1:15 to 1:30, we gathered a backpack of stuff to take to the concert.
We went off into the world.

After driving unil about 2:30, my dad and I went to Harrah's "The Mac King Comedy Magic Show", which was very funny.
Definetly worth a stop for anybody who's in the Vegas area.
Then, at 4:30, after the show concluded and I ha met Mr. King - we ran to the car (well, those Valet guys anyways) and once we got in we drove to...

...In & Out Burger. I've never been to one before. And if you have never been to one, let me just say THEY'VE GOT A GENERIC MENU, GENERIC FOOD, AND PEOPLE WHO GENERICALY HATE THEIR OWN JOBS...FOR THE LOVE OF AL, GO EAT SOMEPLACE ELSE!

After we left the burger shack at 5 p.m., we drove to the Henderson Pavillion really early.
We didn't have anything to do, but at 6 p.m., I had to go use the little men's room.
So, we drove to the nearest casino (wow, a casino in the Vegas area - how unusual) and my dad dropped me off at the front doors, and I, well, I went.
What, you want me to go into explanation?

At 6:30 (told you I needed to go), we were driving right back to the Pavillon.
We waited, this time with a crowd.

At 7, the doors opened and the crowd all rushed inside and to the bathroom.
I did not, because I'm a good little boy.

At around 7:05 we bought a bottle of water and got to our seats.

At 7:15 we waited.

At 7:20 we waited.

At 7:25 we waited.

Around 7:30 is when I started to sweat. Since I took a bath the night before, I did not take one this day. Frankly, I felt like a large Albanian woman.
So I switched from my t-shirt to my Hawaiian shirt.

At 7:40 we switched seats and waited.

At 7:45 we wa...-- you know what, I'm going to cut to the chase a little.

At 8, presumably the owner of the pavilion made an announcement.
We were all thinking, the show's just about to start! It didn't.

At nearly 8:10 "Fun Zone" was blaring.
Flipping Through Chanels came on, same as last year's.
When it had just started to say, "'Weird Al' Yankovic" he came out to cheers and applause.

"Polkarama!" finshed and, Al fiddled with his ear-piece and drank some water.
We were treated to...BASS SOLO!

I'd never seen one live, but, to quote Al, Steve Jay...what a guy!

"Canadian Idiot" started immedietly and, when it came to the "sure they've got their National Health Care", Al picked the microphone stand over his head.

"You're Pitiful" saw the shirts - black jacket, golden vest, "I'm With Stupid", accordion and, of course, SpongeBob Squarepants, boxers, and a tutu with fishnet stockings.

"Wanna B Ur Lovr" had Al singing to the sign-language lady. I could not see much else.

When it was medley time, Al did his Eminem and Taylor Hicks.
When "I'm N Luv Wit Da Skipper" came on, he still had his jacket on.
So he sorta threw aside as he was singing. Like a second "You're Piitiful".
Then of course, Skipper ended to my fear of no new "News" verse.

Al did "I'll Sue Ya" pretty cool. I noticed lots of bills fell back on stage after the show had ended.

Beginning "The Saga Begins", after the first verse "that's where we found this boy...", the audience stopped Al by cheering over his music. He sorta stopped and looked around to see what was the deal.

In "Yoda", Al said we sang the chorus pahetic.

"Smells Like Nirvana" went well, but usually the cheerleaders that are picked for the show duplicated the slowness of the one's in the original video. These did not. At all.

"Amish Paradise" went well and so did "White & Nerdy", "Fat" too.

Before "Cell Phones" Al thanked us for coming to his first show of this tour.

"Albuquerque" was very long, or the longest I've seen.
I cannot recall the donuts and nicknames off the top of my head. Sorry.

After the show, we asked the security guards if Al would be doing a meet-and-greet, and they said no.
But it appears that those people lied, because you say he did.
After the show, right?


Anyways, it was a good show and I can't wait to see another.
