"send my thanks to the boys for a great show last night at Stubb's. Of course we would have loved it if the set had been longer. No complaints though! Also, it was really cool how they hung out for so long to sign stuff. It was definately worth the hell we went through to win tickets. Thanks again to all involved!!" --kristyn
"...It was the greatest night of my life. What else can I say? The doors opened at 7, and I anxiously awaited the band's entrance on the stage for an hour. There was a decent size crowd, with people of all shapes and sizes attending. As you know, this was for radio winners only. That's right, just like in Arizona. So having read your post before I went to the show, I noticed the band took extra measure today to make sure that wouldn't happen. For instance, 101x was all over the radio explaining that this would be a shorter set showcasing new material. Before the band went on, a techie announced this same thing and that the band would even play a couple of old songs. They started off with Don't Let Go, then played about 5 other new album songs and intertwined Say it Aint So. They ended with Undone. It sounded like there might've been technical issues (as Rivers' guitar didn't seem loud enough on the solos and was drowned out by the bass) but I loved every second of it. The crowd was not your normal weezer crowd, seeing as how the tickets were given to anyone who won, not fans willing to buy. So they were a little bit rowdy. Ok, so it was still a very intimate setting, and I loved it. Rivers said they'd sign autographs. A techie said they'd only sign for an hour, but then later said they'd sign as neccessary. <---that makes them ubercool. Also, they sold tour shirts. I didn't know there would be any! It's way cool. The image of the supergirls on the front, tour dates on back. Nice. Oh yeah, the greatest point in my life came next. I waited in line for autographs. It went by pretty fast. The band was at a table and signing away. As I was in line, I waved to Brian. He winked back! I feel like such an Nsync fan for loving that but hey, weezer's too good to hold back my love. So when I get up to the line, an inspector asks what I'm going to have them sign. I brought two things: pinkerton cover and red faces sticker. I don't know his name, but he had sort of a lazy eye and glasses (I bet you know him), and he said I could have both signed. First up, Pat. "Hey Pat, great show. I just bought the Special Goodness cd." He laughs. "Good work on that." He says, "Thanks," and shakes my hand. Mikey signed and passed it on. Brian was next. "Hey Brian." He replies hello. A million things are running through my mind, you know? I meant to tell him I loved the bending move he did at the end of the Hash Pipe video, but I forgot. Let him know! Lastly, Rivers Cuomo himself. "Hey Rivers, how is it going?" I said oh so nonchalantly. "Hey," he mutters without looking up. He signs my faces sticker. He picks up the pinkerton cover and signs. "I just want you to know that I really appreciate everything you did on that album," I say. He looks up, gave a genuine "Thank you," and shook my hand. My life is complete."--mynameisjonas
