'''''...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.'''''
The '''Office Demos''' are a group of acoustic demos recorded in 2003 in a rented office space. From 2003 to 2008, the only Office Demos that had been heard were the songs "[[Everybody Wants a Chance to Feel All Alone]]" and "[[Private Message]]".  Since then, several more demos have been released (presumably because of [[Karl]]) through iTunes and as bonus tracks on albums. In June of [[2003]], after the [[S.I.R. Demos]], Weezer began to rent office space in Los Angeles where they would rehearse with acoustic guitars and record demos directly into Rivers Cuomo's laptop.  The office was a standard business office in an industrial park and not designed for band rehearsals.  The four members of Weezer would play sitting on chairs and couches around a coffee table facing each other.  In addition to acoustic guitars played by Rivers, Brian or Pat, and acoustic bass played by Scott, other instruments used on the demos were Pat's Stratocaster and a Nord synthesizer.


'''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.
