+'''Mykel''' and '''Carli Allan''' are twin sisters that were friends and supporters of [[Weezer]] early in their career.  They are considered the biggest Weezer fans of all time.
 ==Relationship with Weezer==
-Mykel and Carli Allan were sisters that became scenesters (in the best possible connotation of the word) in the early-90s rock club scene.  They were early friends and supporters of [[Weezer]] as well as several other, mostly Los Angeles-based, unknown or unsigned bands of the time.

 After befriending Weezer, they were asked to help stuff envelopes full of lyrics and mailing list info for fans who'd written in to the address printed in ''[[The Blue Album]]'' requesting such info.  Their eager help along these lines led to them being the founding members of the [[Weezer Fan Club]].  They would henceforth be considered the band's biggest fans, evidenced by the assignment of membership card numbers 0001 and 0002 to them ad infiniti.

 [[Allthingsweezer]] boardie and Weezerpedia contributor [[User:BringHomeTheTurkey|BringHomeTheTurkey]] reported that Mykel added his and a friend's names to the guest list at a September '96 ''[[Pinkerton]]'' release show at the Whisky A-Go Go in Hollywood, after learning that the fan club members missed out on buying tickets to the show, as they had sold out quickly.
-There was a general consensus among fans at the time of the sisters' passing that things would never be the same again - and they were right.  Their passing was a contributing factor in the band's nearly three-year-long hiatus that ensued.  Koch made a herculean effort to maintain the fan club, but it proved more than he had the time and resources for, and it eventually ceased to exist.  The primary reason for this happening was due to the fact that around this time, the internet was exploding, and Karl's involvement with the band's official site more or less supplanted the full necessity of a fan club.

-Upon the triumphant return of Weezer in 2000, many fans pondered the return of the fan club.  Eventually, the fan club was relaunched by a well-meaning fan, in cooperation with Karl and the band.  Though much effort was admirably put forth, the organization failed to gain traction.
