Wow, what a day. Things started out hot sticky and muggy at a bizarre hotel in Essex, known for its culinary institute. Pretty abstract, and no, the food wasnt all that and a bag of chips. In fact, I could have used a nice bag of chips! But I will say this: the free lemonade and fresh baked cookies in the lobby were a terrific unexpected breakfast as we boarded the van to the Expo grounds. | Wow, what a day.

I never thought the ferris wheel would begin to be a familiar backdrop for a weezer show, but these days its getting sorta commonplace! The summer fair season is winding down, but we've hit our share this year. And summer stayed in full effect tonight, as the heat wave was still firmly entrenched. | I never thought the ferris wheel would begin to be a familiar backdrop for a weezer show, but these days its getting sorta commonplace!

Before and after the show were some reunions and meetings. The aforementioned Mikey was on hand with some family and friends, and jolly times were had. Then Scott and Pat conspired with Mikey to do a last minute switchheroo, putting Mikey onstage for "Hash Pipe", the first time he'd played with weezer since July 2001. This was done without Rivers knowledge and the double take he did when he saw Mikey for the first time was priceless! Needless to say, everyone was stoked. And as Scott later said "That was fun. Where I come from, thats just what you do. When a former member of a band visits, you offer him the stage." Mikey later said "Fortunately, they picked the one weezer song I still remember how to play!" | Before and after the show were some reunions and meetings.
