good to know i wont be the first! usally i dont say much when meeting famous people but wanna try and get the courage to talk to Al, Ive just wanted to meet him for years but never could afford to go to one of his shows, Al seems such a lovely person, and sure he understands when fans get emotional!mellow weasel wrote:I bet you wouldn't be the first... Talking about that, did anyone witness how he reacts if anyone starts crying, has a panic attack or some other sort of emotional breakdown? I imagine that should be rather frequent thing for first time concert goers. I can easily imagine a situation where I say something embarassing because of stress and then start crying out of embarassment.Weird Emily wrote: just hope i dont cry when meeting him!

Re: Weird Al Concerts For Dummies XD
Nope, not the first. I sort of cried when I found out I was meeting him. I got to unexpectedly meet him in Verona, and when I found out that I was getting to do it, I did cry in front of JW (or Minister of Propaganda as he's better known). In front of Al, I only cried when I was just leaving, because I couldn't believe it happened!mellow weasel wrote:I bet you wouldn't be the first...

Re: Weird Al Concerts For Dummies XD
Most opening bands I've seen at actual rock shows have been great because usually the headlining band selects their own openers. The problem for Al was that he asked the local concert promoters to provide comedians for some reason. The most memorable (in a bad way) opener I saw of his was on the 1999 Touring With Scissors. The comedian's big joke was "Why aren't there any black characters in The Simpsons? Everyone's just yellow!"Weird Emily wrote:soo glad Al dont have opening acts, they drive me mad having to watch a random band for nearly a hour!

Jon, do you not remember the adult joke telling comedian from The Mann? I think his name was Soapy? He was terrible

Re: Weird Al Concerts For Dummies XD
A lot of the comedians ended up being horrible. I remember seeing Al in Akron on the Poodle Hat Tour, and the comedian was some writer for a sitcom on CBS. He kept telling these really horrible pirate jokes. I remember at one point he encouraged everyone in the audience to hold their hands up in the shape of a hook. I'm pretty sure he got booed.

Not only were the comedians horrible, they were often pretty crude too! There were some real doozies during the RWS tour

I just wrote a mushy fan letter that I plan on giving him after the show.
Ugh... is it okay to cry at these events?

Re: Weird Al Concerts For Dummies XD
I know that there is a lot of flashing lights and video used. Is there any warnings for those that have epilepsy? A friend is going with is and it is his first show as well. Just was watching some YouTube videos and his epilepsy just dawned on me. Should there be any issue for him? Thank you!
