Paramounts Kings Dominion, Doswell, VA  
Sun, Jul 13, 2003. 7:30pm

[Weird Al in concert!](http://www.kingsdominion.com/events.jsp) Plus a day at the park! Seems like tickets to the park & concert combined is about $40 via [ticketmaster](http://www.ticketmaster.com/event/010036A5D20CE118?brand=&artistid=772893&majorcatid=10001&minorcatid=51).

I’m going to sell my toenails and pubic hair on ebay if I have to in order to afford tickets.

The lawn seating is cheaper, and we could make a picnic of it.

Oh, man. If I could get the boyfriend here that weekend, he would be in heaven. He is a Weird Al FANATIC.

I’ve got to work on him. My parents will be in Florida that week, too, so we’d have the house to ourselves.

Thanks for the heads-up, Opal!

I saw The Weird at the Nashville fair a few years back. Excellent show. The man has so much energy and is really, really interested in making sure the audience is being entertained. Loads of fun. I was actually thinking of heading up to Cincinatti for that show, since it’s the closest he’s coming to Knoxville, where I am now. If those plans firm up, I’ll tell you to keep an eye out for me.

we could all go and make ourselves ill on the 'coasters and then stake out a patch of lawn and eat sammiches or something.

Well, I checked with the BF and he can’t make it:(. Damn. If this is a planned DopeFest, I’d love to tag along - I don’t know anyone else who likes Weird Al.

I’m sorry. I misread the initial post and thought we were talking about King’s Island in Cincinatti. I’m a doofus. I don’t know if I can make it to Virginia.

Weird Al is at the Mann Center in Philadelphia, Saturday July 19.

Who’s game?

And who wants to meet there for a picnic dinner?

Oh, man.

We’re going to be in Philly on July 19th.

Only one problem. We’re going to Morimoto that night. Our reservation is for 7:30.

Dammit. ☹

Hey **100watts** , did you see me at that show back in 2000? I was up at the stage on the railing and got some great pictures! 🙂 How that man can go for 2 hours non stop with more costume changes than Scarlett O’Hara is beyond me. But it was hands down the best, most fun concert I’ve ever been to.
