Weezer Shows They "Don't Give a Hoot About What You Think" In SLC

   On Monday, October 6th, as I was rushing from the Salt Lake Airport to my class at BYU, I got a text from my sister. She said she had an extra ticket to the Weezer concert. The concert was happening at the E center the following night. The only problem was that I'd have to miss my favorite class taught by my favorite teacher. The decision wasn't a hard one. 
    The first opening act was some local band that wasn't actually on the ticket. They might have been pretty good if their sound was better. The second act was a group called Angels & Airwaves, the latest project from the singer of Blink 182. This guy apparently didn't grow up past 17. The decent light show during their set was the only thing that kept me in my seat. 
    Finally Angels & Airwaves were off the stage and the crew was setting up for Weezer. My sister and I were interested to see a mini trampoline on stage right next to a second drum set. The lights soon went out and the moment we'd endured all the crap for came. 
    Weezer walked on stage all wearing white jumpsuits. And Rivers Cuomo, the lead singer, had some nylon looking thing on his head, hiding everything but his nose and mustache....

  Looks like I'll have to leave it there. I'll finish it later tonight. I'm going to eat some dinner.
