-'''[[Mykel and Carli Allan]]''' were sisters that were friends and supporters of [[Weezer]] early in their career. They are considered the biggest Weezer fans of all time. The Weezer song "[[Mykel and Carli (Weezer song)|Mykel & Carli]]" was written for them. The Allans became active fans in the early-90s Los Angeles rock club scene.  They were early friends and supporters of Weezer as well as several other, mostly LA-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. Much like [[Karl Koch]], they were friends of the band who remained very grounded, and never forgot what it was like to be a fan, but who just happened to have a special relationship and duties with the band.  As one of them said in an email to a fan club member, they regarded Weezer as "friends. They just happened to play music."
+'''''...Anyway, for the first, uh, "feature", here are my recollections from the Special Goodness tour that took place a short time ago, on which I was tour manager, a role that involved some driving, some accounting, and a lot of music.'''''

+'''Mon, Oct 25:''' Leave Buffalo, where rehearsals were going on at a non-operational bar. settle into the VAN, which has recently been painted green. We speed towards New Jersey, passing through such places as Binghamton, Scranton, and the "Delaware Water Gap". finally hit the New Brunswick/Piscataway/Rutgers area and promptly get horribly lost. soon learn that you are not allowed to turn around or retrace your 'steps in new jersey. eventually find an overpriced motel 6 to throw money at for the next 2 nights. and a TGI Fridays to get overpriced food. yum.
+'''Tue, Oct 26:''' walk to nearby Staples the office superstore , and the Big K, for supplies, such as a Vanity Fair for Mikey. Also Taco Bell. learn that pedestrians are forbidden in new jersey, subject to cruel punishments and no sidewalks. Finally we get back n the van and attempt to find Rutgers U...get caught in a massive rush hour traffic jam while on idyllic foresty 2 lane roads. see rutgers signs. after several false leads we find the (very) hidden city of the "busch campus center". all goes well right up to the time when the guys play the show. apparently the sound man blew out some of the PA speakers as the opening act played, and also completely sabotaged the monitors. so, everyone in the room, including the band, is hearing very bad sound, no matter what the band does. sound guy is beyond reason. band makes a tough decision to call the show off early, to save everyones ears and not present the songs in so bad a manner. bummer. much nonsense ensues regarding getting paid. sorry kids, we'll be back, and it will sound much better.
