Last night, I saw weezer at Deep Ellum Live. The show was awesome, I’ve never seen a rock ‘n’ roll band play their music so perfectly.
I got all 3 of the remaining original members to sign my shirt. It looks like this –
PAT! Brian!
Rivers
Well you just a damn lucky shit ain’t ya!
You were there amongst at least 20 of my friends…I didn’t go cause I don’t care too much for Weezer.
In that I am a huge minority!

Cool! By the way, I sincerely thank you for not going if you’re not a fan - I was at the front and was nearly killed by the people trying to push their way to the stage.
You wouldn’t think there would be so many pricks at a geek rock show.
Speaking of pricks, the opening act Dynamite Hack sucked ass… They insulted the audience several times and threw a bottle of water that hit my best friend’s girlfriend right in the head.
Right before their last song, the bass player said “And by the way, if you’re wearing glasses and you look anything at all like Rivers Cuomo (weezer’s lead singer) – you’re an idiot!”
At that point, about 1000 middle fingers shot right up, asif on queue. It was great - nerd comraderie.
Damn. I haven’t seen those guys since they played Trees back when I was in high school. I didn’t even realize they were in town. Why don’t you people tell me about these things? Come on.
They’ll be back in February… This time at the Bronco Bowl. We’ll make a DFW Doper thing out of it.
Who the heck are you guys talking about???
Weezer.
Not to be confused with Wheezer, the forgotten eighth dwarf who smoked 6 packs a day.
