Weirdness All Around

So while in Dallas, we went to a Weird Al concert. Yes, we are that cool. I went in with fairly low expectations and was pleasantly surprised. He is actually a pretty impressive performer. He sang all the songs I remembered and, at one point, even came out in the fat suit from his "Fat" song which is a parody of Michael Jackson's "Bad".

The experience was made even more special by the unending blog material I got from people watching. Some of the fans, as you can imagine, were just as interesting as the activity on stage.

First of all, we had the mom whose children sat in the seats directly in front of us. No big deal, until you add the balloons they got in the lobby. The mom was totally oblivious to what her children's new playthings were doing to our view of the stage.

Fortunately, we were in general admission seating so we moved down several seats and had the pleasure of sitting behind this fine gentleman. . . .

. . . who came equipped with his own stuffed weasel, raccoon tail (tucked ever so delicately into his sweat pants) and a game boy for playing before the concert. Ladies, I think this one is still available.

Now, I could continue to share funny facts about the fans, but all it does is remind me that I was there too. So, keeping in mind that when you point a finger there are three more pointing back at you (thanks Mom), I will stop here. I would hate to do anything to add to my own growing nerd-dom.
