The original Weezine ran for twelve issues before the Allan sisters were tragically killed following a Weezer show in July of 1997. [[Karl Koch]] made a valiant effort to keep the fan club going following the tragedy, and managed to publish a few more issues of the zine. Eventually, due to the band's late-90s [[Weezer#Hiatus|hiatus]], Koch had to let the fan club, and its publication, cease for the time being. | ||
