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 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 23,000+ [[All Things Weezer]] posts later, here I am. What a loser! | |||

Will I ever see Weezer in concert again? Will I ever flee from this hellhole and into a state where concerts are actually held? Will I ever have expendable income? Probably not, but ♫ ''wouldn't it be nice?'' ♫ | |||
