==Hello! ^_^== | |||
It is I, '''runnersdialzero''' (always in all-lowercase, despite what this website ''forced'' me to do). I've been a member of the online Weezer fanbase since early or mid-2004 (R.I.P. weezernation ;__;). I'd been Weezer-curious since the tender age of nine, around 1994 or so, when I heard stuff like "Buddy Holly" and "Undone" on MTV and "Jamie" from the DGC Rarities compilation (thank you, [[Nirvana]]). | |||
In early 2004, I somehow stumbled upon a rather ugly Geocities site (R.I.P. Geocities) that linked to several unreleased Weezer tracks, which I clicked on and waited patiently for 20-30 minutes for each song to download using my 56k modem. Stuff like "Longtime Sunshine" and "Blast Off!" really sealed the deal for me. I went out about bought the blue album shortly after and 19,000+ [[All Things Weezer]] posts later, here I am. What a loser! | |||
I was gonna list other bands I like here, but doing so is extremely difficult nowadays. ;( | |||
==The big list of important accomplishments== | |||
* Contributed approximately 35-40% to the world-famous ''[[HOMiE - Volume 1|Lifetaker and runnersdialzero present HOMiE Volume 1]]'' album with my buddy The Lifetaker :-* | |||
* Future husband of [[User:Nikki4982|nikki4982]], with whom I shall raise our cats Boo and Bella until <font face=Courier>the end of time.</font> | |||
* [[All Things Weezer|All Things Weezer/albumsix]] moderator since 2011. Wow! | |||
* Official leaker of ''[[The Red Album|Weezer (the red album)]]'' and ''[[Everything Will Be Alright in the End]]'' <span style="font-size:28%">, among other things *ahem*.</span> | |||
* Met rock star and songwriting genius [[Rivers Cuomo]] in 2011, was greeted by him saying, "runners!" @it really happened | |||
* Creator of the "[[Rick Rubin|Rick Rubin? Dick Rubin? Dick Rubbin?]]" thread on weezernation using the username acrossthenight33. | |||
* Attendee of the June 2009 albumsix boardie meetup in New York City. Met many many nice folks. ^_^ | |||
* Participant in the [[Let's Write a Sawng]] project, but apparently all my contributions were garbage because Rivers didn't use any of them and didn't even offer me a spot as a backing vocalist in Weezer (I've been told I sound a bit like Brian Bell, so just imagine Brian Bell ''and'' a Brian Bell-like voice in stereo!!!). | |||
* Cycling enthusiast. | |||
* Moral vegetarian. | |||
* Friend to all [[Hold Me|stuffed animals]]. | |||
* Incompetent dipshit and failure in all things. | |||
==Weezer concerts I done seen== | |||
* [[October 3]], [[2005]] (Allstate Arena, Rosemont, IL) - My ex bought me tickets for my birthday because a few of my friends were going and I'd said I wanted to go. I had better seats than them and sat/stood by myself the entire time. An incredibly sweaty, drunk man stood next to me and screamed the wrong words to "Say It Ain't So" in no key what so ever. And hey, [[October 3|it was the show where the "Blast Off!" guy came onstage during "Undone"]]. Neat! | |||
* [[August 27]], [[2009]] (Susquehanna Bank Center, Camden, NJ) - My first Weezer show with [[User:Nikki4982|Nikki (d'awww). Risked my life going to one of the most dangerous cities in America to see Weezer play for about 45 minutes. I found some kind of octopus sticker that night, too. | |||
* [[January 7]], [[2011]] (Aragon Ballroom, Chicago, IL) - Memories Tour, blue album night. Met Rivers (he greeted me by my username!), Scott, Brian, Karl and Sarah Kim. They're very nice people. Oh, I met [[User:Gohi|Gohi]] too. Heard one song from the legendary aborted ''Sea Opera'' album. :O | |||
* [[January 8]], [[2011]] (Aragon Ballroom, Chicago, IL) - Memories tour, Pinkerton night. Met Pat and Josh Freese, also very nice people. Made an incredibly stupid joke to Pat ("I'm from Illinois, I don't know what spinach is!") and saw Brian without a shirt backstage. | |||
Hopefully more in the future, although I'm not big on concerts in general and I now live in a state where approximately zero bands visit per year. ;( | |||
