Hmm, so I was able to get a presale code, but even still the tickets are already very sparse except for seats near the back in the upper mezz area, and now I have some friends who are maybe mildly interested in going, but the tickets aren't exactly cheap, and I'm not sure if I want to encourage they pay so much for something they don't care about, ESP since Weird Al is only doing originals.
So glad I was able to back this when it started. I was gonna want this collection and the regular retail is $100 more (at least on Amazon) and won't even release until a week from now. I opted just for the CD instead of the vinyl.

Yankovic prefaced the song with a story about his first appearance on The Tonight Show, then hosted by Johnny Carson, in 1985. The Tonight Show was a cultural megalith at the time, and Yankovic and his band appeared the same night as Charles Nelson Riley and Michael J. Fox, who was there promoting Back to the Future.
“It was one of the scarier moments of my life,” Yankovic said, “because, you know, when I performed the song and I looked into that camera, it was really like looking into America. It was like you were looking at America and America was looking back at you. It was pretty daunting.”
Two months after that performance, Yankovic got a call from Jim McCauley, the talent director at The Tonight Show, whom hundreds of comedians credit with making or destroying their careers.
McCauley wanted Yankovic to fill in for James Taylor and play Taylor’s “Fire and Rain.” Yankovic declined the offer, a little perplexed that he was asked. He was just starting his comedy music career, and covering a song about the suicide of a childhood friend might confuse a few people — the only way it could’ve been funny is in an Andy Kaufman sort of way, 20 years down the line.
“So I wouldn’t sing it for Johnny Carson,” he told the audience, “but I’ll sing it for you tonight.”
Damn, doesn't look like he's swinging through Utah with this one.
Realizing lately that I don't really trust or respect basically any of the moderators here. So, good luck with life, friends! Hit me up on Twitter @DesertLeviathan

Aw man. The Mandatory Tour came to Just For Laughs for a free outdoor concert (in the rain!) 3 years ago, I was kinda hoping Montreal would become a tour destination with the crowd that showed up there.

It felt pretty special.
Heard them practicing / sound checking it while we were in the hotel pool beforehand, which was a neat spoiler.
Teen Me is so mad at Adult Me for not going to this concert and he's even madder now that he knows that

This is the one concert I am going to try really hard to attend this upcoming year.

Oh wellllll.
Coran Attack!
Maybe I'll just say fuck it and plan a larger vacation around this concert.

I'd highly recommend going. He does not disappoint!
Saw him in Rochester in the vanity tour, but yeah this hurts. Milwaukee and Madison are options?
EDIT: I think that was what he wrote on Instagram or something, or maybe I made it up.
He already wrote a song about everything the state has to offer
And who, in their right mind, would want to compete with that ball of twine?
Super excited, always wanted to see him live
