I Went To My 10th Weird Al Concert On Wednesday

I will attempt to be brief with this but I've been fairly verbose every time I've told this story so far.

Wednesday night I attended the Weird Al concert in Columbus, OH. I drove two days to get there. I was BEYOND excited. Front row seat, meet n greet afterward-- hell yeah. I made my own Jedi costume specifically for the concert. It was made on knitting looms and then I crocheted the ends. It turned out fabulous. The 501st garrison was playing around with me when I was waiting in line at the meet n greet, even. 

The concert, as always, was AMAZING. Al bonked his head on the microphone stand spinning around at the end of the polka. He laughed it off but that still looked kinda painful. He sang the second line of WBUL to me. The lady next to me got the last bit of WBUL sung to her so I got a REALLY awesome camera angle for that. The whole concert was so much fun and the audience had such great energy it was just fantastic.

And then the meet n greet happened and

HE REMEMBERED ME.

He remembered my name.

Like, my meet n greet pass has my last name on it and the date from that show, so I doubt he got my name from THAT

I wish

I wish so bad

that I could've seen the shocked look on my face when he said "Hey! Emmaline! It's so good to see you again!"

Because I KNOW it had to be hilarious. I wasn't expecting that. I wasn't allowing myself to expect that or ANYTHING tbh because getting your hopes up is the easiest way to end up having a bad time. I just wanted to hopefully not mushmouth when I asked for the picture the way I wanted it and

Suffice it to say, mission accomplished.

He signed my lightsaber.

WEDNESDAY NIGHT WAS AWESOME.

It's only a part of the Czar package, which is what I spring for every time because the 30-45 seconds with him is BEYOND worth it. 

I know in previous years he used to do a lot more fan interaction at his tour bus after the show, but that's changed with the Czar vip stuff.

I can't believe I didn't know this was a thing. I've always wanted to meet him, even if only for 30 seconds. I drew a picture of him and Harvey the Hamster when I was little and sent it to him - he sent me an autographed photo back. I never forgot that - his music was the only thing that made me smile during my parent's divorce.

I'm still kicking myself for not walking over and saying hi at the zoo. He was starting to walk away and IDK how he would have reacted.

I am entirely not an advocate for randomly approaching celebrities in the wild, so to speak, but  from what I've heard from other people, Al is very sweet when approached at random by fans. I'm sure he would've taken a picture with you at least. I hope you get to meet him at some point! He really is the sweetest.

      The most tense place I have ever been is a Holocaust Museum where several people were being disrespectful and a brawl broke out right next to me. This was maybe the 3rd HM we have visited. I told my husband that’s enough. No more of those. I know what happened and have seen enough. 

      I work at a library and I can tell you that no one behaves the way they used to, especially the kids. We are supposed to let them just be themselves, meanwhile sometimes it is a circus. I'm so glad I don't work in the public area anymore because it used to get me so angry. If you let them run around and do what they want, how are they going to behave elsewhere? And what will happen when they get older? How can they learn? Now, I'm not saying we need absolute silence but there are people who are trying to study and like the library as a quiet and peaceful place.

      The worst case of this was at Anne Franks house 2 years ago. Everyone respectfully murmurs - same as in a library. A group of high school aged children were running through the rooms and watching stuff on mobile phones with the volume on. Not one teacher said anything. They were there! 
      A few visitors did have a word with them. Things didn’t improve though.

      Whatever the results were for the recent scan...if it was showing the cancer shrinking to nothing, they'd be shouting the good news from the rooftops, right? 

      My recent experiences with MRI were that the results were read by the radiologist and posted in the patient portal within a day or two and I assume other scans would be equally speedy.

      Peter Bradrick remarried

      @Columbia, thanks for digging up that account! I remember that depressing saga as if it had happened yesterday. IMO, Bradrick! has many, many miles to go before he's able to redeem himself.
