Great show by Al tonight--the crowd was standing for the entire finale--lots of energy from the crowd and Al.

He did Bob tonight. And a funny little slipup during Albuquerque after the guy went looking for bearclaws Al went "NOOOO we're all out of bluemapleclaws....we're just out of everything" :lol: I FINALLY got to see Al restart from the beginning of Albuquerque when he lost his train of thought!! Been wanting to see that for awhile now. That got probably one of the biggest laughs of the night.

I love going to Al shows and just observing what jokes people laugh at and what jokes the crowd doesn't react to--very fascinating.

Yeah, more info, please. I take it you didn't meet Al, or I am sure you would have said something. Btw, you put the wrong date on this topic, Driew.

:P
4 words that Al said to me that blew me away:

"How's Problem Child doing?" - 7/12/11

So awesome!

How many details do we need - it's always the same show! ;)

Thanks for sharing your night. I love the shows with the Albuquerque re-starts.

Did anyone else wait by the chain link fence for Al to come out? (Until security booted us out, of course :angry: )
And now for something completely different...

Bummer. But that's why fairs are usually not the best meeting-Al bets. Better luck next tour!
"Weird Al" has a charisma that's all his own. The awkward, the misshapen, the socially inept flock to his banner.
