 ===Early Days===
-Matt and Rivers moved into the Amherst House on [[March 19]]th, 1992, which also marks the first time that Weezer ever played a show (at the Raji's on Hollywood Boulevard).  Before that, the band was operating out of 1711 Stoner Avenue in Los Angeles.  The people living at the house soon became referred to as the "Stoner Avenue crew".  Among the crew was the now famous Jonny Knoxville.  It was at Stoner Avenue where [[Pat Finn]] first introduced [[Rivers Cuomo|Rivers]] to [[Patrick Wilson]].  Shortly after, Rivers moved to 2914 Urban Avenue in West LA.  Taco Bell, at the corner of Pico and Bundy (perfectly situated between the two apartments), was fast becoming the most frequented eating establishment in the area.

+On March 19, 1992, [[Rivers Cuomo]], [[Matt Sharp]] (fresh from Berkley) and [[Justin Fisher]] moved into the Amherst house.  They convinced the Asian land lords that they were UCLA film students and therefore would make a lot of noise.  On that day, Weezer's first show suddenly fell into their laps.  Before the show, Weezer began brainstorming various names for their unnamed band.  Early suggestions for band names included, "The Big Jones" and "This Niblet". Additionally, the names "Meathead", "Outhouse", "Hummingbird" and other random names are written on early Weezer demo tapes.
