Fan reaction

A fan known as Viv would recount the story of the Chewbacca cutout on weezerfanclub.com's FAQ page:[2]

august 1995 [i think it was the 5th actually] weezer played montreal. it was a great show as usual and i was lucky enough to meet the band before the show with a few friends. a friend of mine named scott had 'acquired' the chewbacca cut out from a local music store and decided to hand it over to the boys. i guess they liked it a lot because chewy went on stge[sic] with them that night and along for the tour too!!! by the end of the tour it was really beat up.
