Sorry, Professional WHISTLER! :-)

It was early.

Thanks for clarifying. I know all to well about typos. Ask anyone here.

So, what song did this professional whistler whistle, while accompanying himself on the accordion? I bet that was kinda weird, huh? Sounds like it was a fun show!

It was a Zydeco song about going to New Orleans during Mardi Gras.

Ah, see, unlike Al, I have every intention of really getting my hopes up.

It's very cool that both campaigns were brought up. It seems as if J. Keith had done his homework beforehand.

Thanks for the report Grant!

At the prospect of being inducted into the R&RHOF, Al even joked, "Oh, yeah, me and Milly Vanilly!"

It was funny, but I'm with you, Greg, my hopes are way up for R&RHOF AND a star on the Walk of Fame!

Vikki

Jordan and I had a blast, and we felt very lucky to be there. Thank you again, Grant, for the heads up!

There were four cameras filming that night, so I don't know what will become of that, but maybe one day it'll be televised, or online...

A few people in the audience had their cameras out, so I got brave and took mine out, too, and no one seemed to mind. So, here they are:

Our celebrity (and I use that term loosely) panel:

Kate Linder, Wayne Federman, Catherine Bishon (?), and G. Charles Wright, introduced as casting director for "That 70s Show".

Al going to take his seat after signing in


Al sitting with our host, J. Keith (who sat by each contestant and helped them with their answers)





The panel with their blindfolds on


And finally, Jordan with Grant:


Dave, you can put this one in the gallery at WeirdAlStar.com, if you'd like.

Thanks Vikki, and great pics BTW.

Yes, I've heard that Al line numerous times before. In fact, I tried to quote it during every interview.

Hey, we wouldn't be Weird Al fans if we didn't have a sense of humor about stuff.

I would like to officially apologize for the goatee. I'm doing a show next week in Arizona and the comedians performing are having a mustache contest and I figured a goatee would look the most "human" until I had to shave it for the mustache.

Grant

Aw, it's not bad at all, Grant!

Oh, and I hope it's okay that I told Dave he could put that pic on the Weird Al Star website gallery--I realize I didn't ask you first, so let me know if it's okay.

Vikki

Thanks for the review, Grant! And Vikki, thanks for the pics!

Said the album would be, "Very introspective and peel back the layers to show the real Al."

Doesn't he always say that?

Speaking of goatees, where did Al's go?
