=W= Show Experience: Chicago (5.04_05)
I went to the Summerfest show with my sister, Monica, and, again, my friend Ali. We didn't get to see The Frays, the opening band, which I was kind of bummed about, because we were a tad bit late. We got there and had to walk to the very end of the Summerfest grounds (which took way too long because apparently people forgot how to walk) because, well, that's where the Marcus Ampitheater is located. I got a shirt, the one that I wanted (the "Weezer: rocking the bitches since 1994", Ali got the "I've got a Weezer in my pocket...and I'm happy to see you" shirt, and Monica got the Pixies Greatest Hits CD). We got into the Ampitheater, found our seats, and shortly afterword The Pixies came on. MORE...

=W= Show Experience: "This is my second show. Saw them first on the Hyper-Extended Midget Tour in Charlotte, NC at the Cricket Arena on 2/05/02.
Because we (my mother, my cousin, and I) live in South Carolina, we had to get an early start to make it to Atlanta, GA, with enough time to get a good spot in line, that way we could get close to the stage on the floor. We left just before 2 PM and were making good time. But around 4 PM, we had some trouble finding “Williams Drive” (NOTE: We learned the hard way that there is no such street in Atlanta... MORE...

=W= Show Experience: 2nd time.
The last time I had seen Weezer was way back in 2001 after the release of the Green Album at Jones Beach Stadium it was a very cold and the sound was horrible!! Fast forward almost 4 years later I'm at Roseland and I couldn't be happier Roseland is a way better venue then Jones it's a decently sized... MORE...

There are and always will be skeptical =W= fans out there, but the guys certainly proved them wrong on May 11, 2005. It's a truly amazing thing. Besides all the negativity surrounding the band, all the drama highlighted by certain publications, and all the hatred directed towards any post-Pinkerton music, the guys can still put on a show…and one hell of a show at that!

=W= Show Experience: Fourth show (7/25/01 at the Y100 Feztival at the Tweeter Center, 9/26/01 at the Spectrum in Philly on the Midget Tour, and 7/26/02 at the Tweeter Center in Camden on the Enlightenment Tour.
Having paid more than I wanted to for tickets because of whatever the Ticketmaster crisis was, I wanted to make sure that this show was worth every single penny I spent. And it exceeded anything I could
have expected. MORE... |

=W= Show Experience: 4th time (The Warped Tour in Anaheim 08.30_00, Long Beach 11.24_02, Irvine, "biggest headlined =W= show ever", 08.09_02)
The day began at 2pm when my friends and I set up camp outside the Avalon. The sky was grey and it was quite cold. It didn't matter that we still had five hours to wait until the concert began; we were about to see the =W=. The hours rolled by quickly and before we knew it, we were being ushered into the venue.

=W= Show Experience: First show
First off, this was my first weezer concert. I was supposed to go in 2002 but I had to go on a family vacation. I mean, it was a good vacation, but I would have rather gone to the concert. Anyway, when I
heard that they were coming back to Toronto, I knew I had to go, and that nothing would stop me. Well... ticketmaster found a way. MORE... |

My friend, Ali, and I went to the Weezer concert in Chicago at the Aragon Ballroom. We left Rockford at 4:00-ish (we would've gone sooner, but we had school so we couldn't. Plus we go to a private school, so we couldn't wear our uniforms. That would've been weird). I figured, since it should only take about an hour and a half to get there that we'd be pretty early. I figured wrong. MORE... |

=W= Show Experience: "I have been to the Yahoo! Outloud Tour in Columbia, MO (2001), the Extended Midget Tour in Kansas City, MO (2001), the Enlightenment Tour in Dallas, TX (2002), and was an extra in the video shoot for "Beverly Hills." So for the count: currently with the SF show I've been to 4 =w= concerts (and it will be 5 after Vegas!) and 1 video shoot!"
My husband and I are living in California for about a year because of his job and this couldn't be a better year to do it! It is giving us opportunities to see Weezer that we would have missed out on in Oklahoma! MORE... |

My day started at 12 pm, where me and my friend Tristan went to meet up with Gilby (a friend) and after about an hour of nothing, we decided to get in line. Karl was walking around outside...untill finally i noticed him, as he was being cutesy with this little baby (Awwwww) and he signed Brian's knee on my Rolling Stone! MORE... |

=W= Show Experience: First show (too young during the mid-nineties when they first toured and 2002 tour sold out too quickly )
I had arrived around 4pm to line up for tickets seeing as the pre-sale and actual sale sold out almost instantaneously. When I got to the Commodore I met a lovely girl named Laura. She had a weezer cake that celebrated the tour and the new album, Make Believe. Steve, the lead singer/guitarist of openers Ringside came out front in an effort to get into the venue. When this failed, he spoke to the group of us that was now from two people to four. He's an extremely nice guy. Eventually Laura gave the cake to the House of Blues guy, Chris, who took it into the black hole that is the back alley. I wonder if anyone ate it? MORE...
