''Flying on the same day as a show is never the preferred way, but today was just one of those days where the rules had to be broken to make things happen. So we go to the airport in Dublin for an early flight to Paris, fly, and while waiting for our baggage in Charles deGaulle airport, we see some familiar looking blokes sitting over on the bench, obviously waiting for their luggage too. Well, whattaya know, its Oasis. We've never actually ever met them before, but eventually Pat breaks the ice like a trooper, and thank goodness. Turns out theyre big fans of weezer (or at the very least Liam is - hes just a bit more talkative than his brother Noel), and in fact, in Liam's words, weezer is their favorite American band! Now thats cool. After some small talk, its established that while Weezer is on their way to the Olympia gig, Oasis are basically just waiting around till their own TV gig tomorrow. So I slip in a little "do you wanna go to the show tonight?", which is enthusiatically embraced as the plan. When I asked "how many will there be?", they said "A lot." The necessary phone numbers were exchanged amongst tour managers, and the plan was set: Oasis were coming to see weezer tonight!'' | ''Flying on the same day as a show is never the preferred way, but today was just one of those days where the rules had to be broken to make things happen.
