As a child in 1976, Sebastian dreams of a [https://www.weezerpedia.com/wiki/File:Weezer_EWBAITE.jpg monster]. He tells his mother of his nightmares and she assuages him: "Go back to sleep, honey. ''Everything will be alright in the end''." On [[November 2]], [[1985]], he leaves home and moves to Los Angeles. In 1986, a bunch of other boys pick on him and throw him into a dumpster. At some point, he forms the band [[The Astronauts]]. Sometime later, possibly around [[1991]], he meets with Electric Records executives [[George Blotkin]] and [[Cleo]], who give him a stack of mysterious books. Blotkin promises that they have "the most powerful and modern tools to guarantee [his] exposure to the greatest number of people." Sometime, possibly around 1994, Sebastian rejects their help, telling them to "enjoy their headphones", before taking the books and storming out. At some unknown date, The Astronauts win an award for Album of the Year, which Sebastian dedicates to his late father, [[Joe Laffoley]]. At some date, he becomes romantically involved with [[Bella]], but they later get into a fight. At some point, Sebastian car breaks down or crashes. The Astronauts' presumably sophomore album, titled ''Help Me'', went on to be a critical failure, and features a song titled "My Body Pain".
