Karl's Corner - 07/10/2001

7/10/01 various...

....today was just about all "behind the scenes". Lots of meetings and phone calls and driving around. Tomorrow the video finally shoots for sure, I'll be shooting pictures and video for the website too, of course. Speaking of video, I will finally have some new custom video clips going soon, created from footage shot during both the Hooptie Tour and the Europe Tour. Thanks for waiting...

"weezerfest2001 is definately taking place this saturday, july 14, at 3:00

in grant park, in the fine city of chicago. if you like weezer and want to

hang out with other people like you, please come. bring hackey saks,

frisbees, stereos, and food. we're asking everyone to make a homemade cd to

trade, but it is by no means necessary to do this. i have over 100 people

saying they are coming, so i think it will be cool. you can dress up in

craziness to show your weezer love, or bring guitars and write poems to

share or whatever you want. it's just us hanging out making new friends. we

might have a homemade tee shirt contest, with cookies as the prize, (and my

respect) and it would be cool to bring rarities to trade. for more

information check out www.geocities.com/morningkindergarten/ or email me

hunny133@hotmail.com. i hope to see everyone there! (weezer will NOT be

there. don't come hoping they will show up. it's not gonna happen)"

"I just wanted to let you know that the Weezer Tribute Night in Seattle

was a complete success. There was a line of weezer fans around the block

and the Sit 'n' Spin SOLD OUT! It is a reasonably small club but over 200

people were there plus 10 bands.

It could have been called "weezer b-sides night" all the bands were HUGE

weezer fans and everyone had a great time. These songs were played.

Undone (the sweater song)

Buddy Holly

Say it aint so

(of course)

Devotion

Just threw out the love of my dreams

Mykel and Carly

Holiday

Sweet Adeline

I do

New Wave Lullaby

Slob

Too Late to Try

Pink Triangle

Why Bother

Simple Pages

Island in the Sun

It was So much fun and there were tons of weezer fans there with the

two-hand-weezer sign in the air.

Here's my band Playing Holiday if anyone is interested."
