Catching up #2:

WEEZERRRR 8D

AT THE OC FAIRRRR

So yup. itsuka, yoursenq, super_no_1 and I went to the OC Fair in the beginning of August to see a Weezer show. Shh, I know I just saw them at the Memories Tour end of last year. I wanted to see them again. Yes. That soon. Shush. Anyway, they were fucking awesome as usual! 8D!

I took off early from work and went to pick up Setsu on my way down to the OC. We met up with Jennifer and Nergene there and had nomming time. I had a philly cheesesteak, a churro and a lemonade (oh god so good on that hot day). I don't know how I still remember that...Anyway after stuffing our faces, we headed to the Pacific Amphitheatre. Jennifer and I got ourselves some beer and there was also cotton candy and kettle corn and we all settled down in our seats for the show to come.

The band came out to the 21st Century Fox fanfare much to my amusement and went immediately into song. No introduction, but yeah I don't think they need such frivolities anymore. Rivers...I'll never get over how good he looks for his age cuz seriously -- minus his thinning hair -- he basically still looks the same. He did sport this huge tribal sleeve tattoo though. He never addressed it and I thought it looked odd, yet...fitting for him. He always seemed to be the quirky type. He was crazy as usual with his antics: He grabbed some guy's hat and wore it. He ran around in the audience way more than enough (of course, sadly, he never got close to us ;A; ). At one point, someone threw him some giant briefs with =W= on it. He held it up to the audience with a look of, "Wtf?"...and proceeds to put it on over his pants and wears it for the rest of the concert. XD It also dawned on me that he'd make a freakin' awesome Quailman for Halloween, hahaha. They ended the night crowding around the drums to while singing Buddy Holly. Woo!

After a very awesome, fun and fulfilling show, we all ate some more! We got that funnel cake that comes with ice cream. Mmmmm. I was amused by the pizza on a stick. Oh and we also visited the ice sculpture exhibit. It was VERY cold, lol.

A good night overall. A very good night indeed. :D
