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 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]]). | It is I, '''runnersdialzero''' (always in all-lowercase, despite what this website ''forced'' me to do).

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! | In early 2004, I somehow stumbled upon a rather ugly, off-yellow Geocities site (R.I.P.

* [[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 with a polo shirt and backwards baseball cap stood next to me and ''screamed'' the wrong words to "Say It Ain't So" in no key what so ever, but I had a nice time.
