[[Image:BringHomeTheTurkey.gif|300px|thumb|left|The Good Life mug shot]]Hi, my name is Austin, and I'm a long-time, hardcore weezer fan. I'm a little (okay, a lot) older than the average fan, and I live near Los Angeles, which means I've been lucky and crazy enough to have been involved in the weezer community since virtually the beginning. I'm not saying I'm better than the next fan, just that I'm in a unique position to share much of the knowledge and experience I've gained through 15 years of obsessive weezer fandom. I've been active on weezerpedia since December 2008. I've made quite a few significant contributions, and it will only continue. I look forward to dropping more mad ka-nowledge gleaned from my large collection of weezer (and related) music releases, media articles, and concert and fan club experiences. I love to chat when I'm not too busy, and I have many weezer stories to tell. I'll not be offended if you feel that information I've contributed needs to be confirmed - I'm fully prepared to do so. | [[Image:BringHomeTheTurkey.gif|300px|thumb|left|The Good Life mug shot]]Hi, my name is Austin, and I'm a long-time, hardcore weezer fan.
