In August, roughly two weeks before the beginning of the tour, an unknown quantity of promotional packages were sent to random fans. These contained a musical gag card, a sticker, and an unmarked white cassette. The card was produced by Joker Greeting and plays "[[Buddy Holly]]" continuously when opened. It additionally ejects confetti when an enclosed string is pulled. The sticker features an illustration of the ''[[Weezer (The Blue Album)|Blue Album]]'' artwork and the text "You Just Got Weezered". The cassette, housed in a blank blue J-card, contains narration by [[Rivers Cuomo]] previewing the upcoming tour, followed by the entirety of [[Weezer's third demo]] (not including "[[Surf Wax America]]"). | In August, roughly two weeks before the beginning of the tour, an unknown quantity of promotional packages were sent to random fans.

==Story== | |||
Weezer boards [[Betsy 2.0]], a shuttle which that will take them and the audience on a dangerous voyage to save the Blue Planet. The lights brighten and shows the shuttle heading up for lift off, with fans cheering the group on. As the band plays, the big screen shows Betsy flying through space, travelling through a Weezer-themed space bar and running into the alien [[Bokkus]], who has a hatred of the group. | |||
During a trek through the ''[[Pinkerton]]'' asteroid belt, Bokkus drains Betsy's shields by hurling pies and other objects at the shuttle. The shuttle crashes, which launches [[M1]] to look for parts as the band plays cuts from the titular album. After the fourth part is and the shuttle takes off for the Blue planet. | |||
The planet is found, but its dying and requires ''the Blue Album'' to come back to life. [[Rivers Cuomo]] plants a flag adorned with the [[Flying =W=]] in the ground, and the band performs the entire album front-to-back. The planet is shown coming back to life, with grass, trees and buildings growing as they perform. | |||
The band lands at the Blue Rocks Amphitheater and are cheered on by the planet's native species Weezerins, a species which Cuomo and the crowd are members of. Bokkus finds the ampitheatre and attacks with laser cannons, only to be defeated by loud speakers and the Weezerins laser eyes. | |||
