[[Image:GoodLifeMugShot.jpg|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'm a responsible adult with kids of my own, but I still feel like a kid inside, and I love to geek out on any and all of my passions (see below). I love to chat when I'm not too busy, and I have many weezer stories to tell. Catch me at [[Albumsix]] some time and pick my brain. 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:GoodLifeMugShot.jpg|300px|thumb|left|The Good Life mug shot]]Hi, my name is Austin, and I'm a long-time, hardcore weezer fan.

*music (duh) - although you might be shocked to learn that weezer isn't my favorite band (gasp!), that distinction belongs to Queen. I was into music long before weezer came around, and although I treasure them dearly, many of my favorites had already entrenched themselves. A brief list, in semi-order of their stature with me: Queen, Scorpions, Led Zeppelin, Aerosmith, Van Halen, [[weezer]], Dream Theater, Paul Rodgers (Free, Bad Company, The Firm, etc.), Michael Schenker (UFO, MSG, etc.), [[Ash]], Boston, Smashing Pumpkins, [[Jimmy Eat World]], Gary Hoey, Muse | |||
*sci-fi - among other things I like, I'm absorbed into the universes of what I call my Big 3: [[Star Wars]], Transformers, and Robotech | |||
*animation - Simpsons, Family Guy, South Park, etc. | |||
*comedy - George Carlin, Denis Leary, Chris Rock, Tina Fey, Kids In The Hall | |||
*TV - SNL, The Office (both UK and US), 30 Rock, Heroes, My Name Is Earl, The Clone Wars, That Metal Show | |||
*movies - [[Star Wars]] saga, Indiana Jones (although I admit they had faults, I'm a big defender of the prequels and Crystal Skull!), Back To The Future, and the bulk of the works of: Mel Brooks and cronies, Kevin Smith and View Askewniverse, Wes Anderson and cronies (Bottle Rocket, Tenenbaums, etc.), Simon Pegg and cronies (Spaced, Shaun, Fuzz), Judd Apatow and cronies, Harrison Ford, Samuel L.
