Just don’t wear a Weird Al t-shirt, for, to quote the movie PCU: “You’re wearing the shirt of the band you’re going to see…DON’T BE THAT GUY!” ---

A strategically placed Twinkie weiner sandwich. And nothing else. ---

You will never find a more eclectic audiance than that of a “Weird Al” concert. There will be grandparents, next to punk rockers, geeks next to jocks, children next Jack-Blackesque metal heads. It is a great time. Have fun. PS, If you wait a while (and it may be a LONG while), Al will comes out to sign autographs and meet with the fans. He will just wait untill they are almost all gone. ---

Lederhosen, a shirt made entirely from Weird Al bodily byproducts, and a Devo energy dome. ---

Jedi robes. I am so freaking jealous. I worship at the altar of the god who is Al. ---

When I went this August, lots of people were wearing Hawaiian shirts. This included my SO. Now, my SO usually wears Hawaiian-type-but-not-THAT-loud shirts, so, if we get separated, I look for the guy in the Hawaiian shirt. Needless to say, that didn’t work too well at that concert. I don’t think it really matters; just wear clothes. I wore a black blouse and blue jeans, and I looked and fit in fine. ---

I’d imagined that he’d be aloof and distrected, but he was a very nice guy, and very approachable and personable. PS: I wore pants. ---

I’m going tomorrow (my birthday! Hurrah!) and will be going straight from work. Therefore I shall wear what I wear to work, which is nondescript ordinary stuff. You can’t go wrong with nondescript ordinary stuff. ---

Now that he’s converted to vegetarian, I don’t think he does it any more. \*\* I thought step 4 was : add a line of aerosol cheese. And yes, according to the UHF comentary, he doesn’t eat those anymore. ---

What the fuck? Wear what ever the hell you want. Appropriate attire? That’s utter bullshit. At a concert there is no appropriate attire. I cannot believe you are serious. When I think of a schmuck, I’ll think of you from now on.
