last week was a very hectic week in two regards:
1) everyone was out on vacation, so i had to pick up the load
2) trying to get first row weezer tickets for their concert last saturday.

it was originally planned as a surprise for aileen, but it turned out to be a big as a surprise for both of us. i went to see weezer... front row and center. it was such a great experience, and one that i will tell for days and days.

highlights of the concert:
- aileen figured out where we were going after the radio was talking about the weezer concert that day, along with other clues... like... me following signs to the chronicle pavilion... but was still surprised when we went allll the way to the front and center.

- watching dashboard confessional as support... they have one song out on the radio right now, and it's just okay... but i definitely have more respect for them now after watching them live.

- rivers (lead singer of weezer) talk:
"my children!!!!"
"thank you jesus... for the rock... we are about to receive...."
"fork yeah."
"i'm going to talk to my band now... hey guys, when we get to the last chorus... let's play it twice... because it's just too good...sorry, but sometimes, you just gotta shred..."

- me and aileen are on weezer.com!!! they took a picture of the audience, and as we were front row along with aileen's devastating looks, how can you miss? click here scroll down to 8/10/02 post to see pics from the concert
