        First off I love “the cut of your jib” comment. We need this used more in common conversation. Also a huge Weird Al fan, I have seen him dozens of times all over the country, met him, a really lovely person. I’m still trying to get the video of the opening show in Vegas of Mandatory Fun tour. I was the asshat in the front row that got a high 5 during Tacky.

        A high 5 is tacky so win/win.

        I just want the video

          I’m a big fan as well… probably a tad older than you. I saw him live one time in the early 2000’s for the Poodle Hat tour. I was blown away by the skills of him and the band. Off the Deep End, Bad Hair Day, and Running with Scissors were fundamental to my development. Wish I could help ya finding the video of you high-fiving him! That’s an awesome memory I’m sure you’ll keep forever. Take care, fellow Weird Al fan!

            We maybe closer in age than you think. I got into Weird Al from my dad and I listening to the Dr Demento Show :)

            Its a cherished memory for sure! There has to be a video, it was the opening night and can’t imagine the crew not recording it to refine the costume changes and other production elements
