'''runnersdialzero''' is a fguy


==Hello! ^_^==
==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!


'''These bands are cool too i guess:''' Ryan Adams, Alice in Chains, Andrew W.K., The Beach Boys, Beck, Black Flag, Brand New, [[Rivers Cuomo]] (NO JOKE!!!1), the [[Foo Fighters]] (mostly the first three albums), Liam Lynch, The Misfits, [[Nirvana]], [[Oasis]]/Noel Gallagher's High Flying Birds/a dash of Beady Eye, Our Lady Peace, the Ramones, [[The Relationship]], Saves the Day, Silverchair (mostly the last two albums), Elliott Smith, Nobuo Uematsu, and probably a lot of other people I'm forgetting.

* [[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 lost ''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 (it was awesome).

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 (also I have no money ever). ;(
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?'' ♫
