...today, after a 5 year wait for a new weezer record, fans all across the country picked up a whole hell of a lot of Green albums. I can't beleive the day has finally come! Its like I can finally exhale again. Wow. Here in L.A., the event was celebrated at a special in-store show at the Tower Records on Sunset Blvd., where, interestingly, 10 years ago Rivers had a job. What a show! Outside of a lack of some sort of barricade system resulting in some injuries for crushed fans and security guards alike, the show was intense and tight! outside there was an additional PA system and Jumbotron screen for those who couldnt fit inside the store, and many reported excellent sound even outside! Also today the guys were interviewed by Pat O'Brian for "Access Hollywood"! Check out the pics, and I'll try to get a video up tomorrow.
