Thanks for doing that Flack! You ROCK! That was so cool. Too bad that U62 station is gone, but still awesome!

Become a master of the U-Turn. We quit counting at around 30 U-Turns or so. It seemed like we missed almost every single address the first time around -- we made so many u-turns on the trip we began getting dizzy.

What a delightful link. He should send that to Bermuda for a permanent link on weirdal.com.

Flack, if you're still here, please stay awhile.

Hello everyone! I'm sure I'll be sticking around for quite a while. I've checked out Al's page countless times but for some reason I never registered for the message boards until just now.

I'm 30 years old and have been a fan of Al's for almost as long as I can remember. As a kid I remember owning 3D and Dare to be Stupid on vinyl -- I think I still have my Eat It 45 out in the garage. I even lip synched to "That Boy Could Dance", the B-Side, at an elementary talent show. Back then, I had just about all the same problems as "Jimmy the Geek", except I couldn't dance either.

While watching the UHF DVD and listening to the comedy track, a friend and I started wondering if any of those places still existed. Tulsa isn't that big of a place, and with Mappoint and my laptop, we were able to track them all without a problem. I'm not sure if we got the cemetary picture from the right spot -- that was the toughest one, as it seems like that area has changed a lot over time. The ones of Weird Al's apartment, City Hall, and Raul's apartment were eerily unchanged (except for that tree outside of Kuni's!)

Thanks for the welcome! I hope you guys get as much of a kick out of seeing those pictures as I got taking them.

That's really cool, Flack! It was a lot of fun seeing those sites as they look now. I can't believe they tore the Channel 62 building down! Don't they know that it should have been declared a historical landmark?

Thanks for going on that trip!

That's cool Flack! Things really haven't changed that much in 15 years.
