This is just weird. I guess grats to Weird Al for making the list? I personally wouldn't have chosen him, but that's more to do with his cameo being the lazy "hey it's [celebrity guest]!" walk-ons that become depressingly more commonplace as the show as the show dragged (drags?) on. Shit, maybe he's had additional cameos that weren't as bad?
My wife and I went to Disneyworld last week. There's currently a poor bastard named Dan who works as a cast member on the Jungle Cruise ride. He told us were were the first people that mentioned it to him — that day. Our actual skipper even ribbed him about it as we were pulling away from the dock but I think we were the only ones in our boat who got the reference.

I am being dragged to a comic convention semi-against my will because it is happening the same weekend as the Charlotte date and my wife and I decided to just make it a nerd weekend.

Weird Al playing Yoda with Jodi DiPiazza and a choir of autistic children, and it's really good!
Night of Too Many Stars: America Comes Together for Autism Programs is hosted by Jon Stewart and raises money with NYCA (New York Collaborates for Autism) to support programs covering everything from the intensive education kids with autism need at a young age to social training for adults who want to contribute in the workplace. We've even created a "Teach the Teachers" program that helps train more teachers to work in the public school systems, for the many kids with autism who can't get into the few quality schools that can help them. Many organizations support biomedical research to study autism. Night of Too Many Stars is working to help people who live with autism now.
Attended the Charlotte stop of the tour last night. Kind of an unusual show, not a ton of stuff off the new album (was especially sad he didn't hit "My Own Eyes"). But he made up for it with two medleys that were incredible, especially the second.
During a costume change break, we saw a bunch of clips talking about "Eat It." When the guys came back, however, they started playing Clapton's Unplugged version of "Layla" for some reason.
Turns out he was launching into an acoustic medley , which happened to start with "Eat It". Just awesome stuff.

Just got back from the show...it was pretty awesome. Apparently one of my high school friends was in the front row, big package deal...and might have gotten humped by Al at one point.
Also I was wearing my Bowling for Soup shirt, and a group stopped to take a picture with me.

Between May 12 and Oct. 9, 2015, my band and I performed 112 concerts as part of our Mandatory World Tour, and almost every show started out with a performance of my song "Tacky." As the audience watched on a giant LED screen, a camera crew would follow me as I sang the song, starting from some point outside (or deep within) the venue and eventually winding up on stage. It was always fun for us, because obviously the venues were different every night and every performance of the song was unique. We recorded about half of these performances, and I've spent the last few days editing together this little memento. Hope you like it - see if your city made the cut!
this was a really great way to start each show, I was pretty happy I never saw it get spoiled anywhere
That's great. I actually thought afterwards that it must be one recorded version that they play at every show, and then he just pops out. Makes it even better to know he really did that crazy thing for every show.
His LA show was the first time I got to see him in concert. There were 6 year old kids singing Eat It on the shuttle from parking to the venue. It was a really good time.

This could possibly be the best day ever.
It was so great
He got Al's boot in his face as he was humping the lady in front of us.
We both got splashed during Al's Kurt Cobain impression.
We were in the third row during the show at the Puyallup Fair.
