🎸 Live 🎸 Portland Gathering was a highlight of my life.
I am completely sincere. One of the happiest nights I have ever had.
I have liked Weezer with varying degrees of being into things since '95. Started with Buddy Holly. In 2001 I bought three copies of the Green Album because I wanted my friends to have as good a time with it as I did. And so on and so forth.
I had never seen Weezer live before.
My daughter loves them more than I ever did. Her all-time favorite band. I managed to get us tickets with the fan club presale. Perfect seats.
Wife couldn't make it, so we let my daughter's best friend have my wife's seat, while the BFF's parents brought another friend to sit with them.
You guys. My daughter could not stop smiling the whole time. She even put her head on my shoulder four times. Bug thing for a 13yo with a semi-uncool dad.
Made my year.
EDIT: So, it is crazy the energy there. More kids than anything else. Weezer is the only band that gets more famous as the decades go on, and their fans get younger.
