-Im in a Flying J truckstop parking lot in Western North Dakota, using some country fried rodeo wi-fi to get these urgent messages to you the people! Never mind WHY im in North Dakota, just know that when important news must get to you, we here at weezer.com spare no effort!
-First of all, L.A. area fans might have heard the announcements on KROQ radio, for the upcoming "Kevin And Bean Breakfast With Weezer"! This is coming up this coming Monday the 18th, and the ONLY way to get in is to be the 20th caller when they announce it at random on KROQ.... so listen! Call! Try! Anyone who has been to one knows how special and intimate these cool "Breakfast" shows are.

This is taking place in L.A., and Weezer needs you! (and you.... and you.... a LOT of you!) for this shoot. The MAIN requirements are:
