Beth and I headed out quite early to go to the cinema and see the film Superbad which Beth has reviewed for my website here. I enjoyed it a little more than she did I reckon but I wouldn’t disagree with what she said. In the afternoon we picked Rachel up from school and then watched Hot Fuzz with Fran. They enjoyed it I think although we did have to watch it on Beth’s laptop screen (never ideal, tiny and it flickers). In the evening Beth and I got to go to a concert. In around February I put a bunch of Weird Al Yankovic videos on my blog, well we got to see him in Concert. He did most of his best songs and was brilliant live. I was a little apprehensive before hand thinking that he might not be able to live up to his recorded stuff but it was very well put together. The show lasted about two hours with no other bands performing so he did a good job. Costume changes were covered very well by archive clips of him “interviewing” famous people. All in all a better night out than I expected, thanks Weird Al.

I too liked the concert better than i expected. Even as we came n and sat down the people around me made me apprehensive – a lot of dads with little kids, and teenage boys with dumb slogan t-shirts and their mouths hanging slightly open. But Weird Al was great. He started with a polka rendition of the recent top songs such as “Don’t you wish your girlfriend was hot like me” and “candy shop.” My favourite song was his rendition of Star Wars Episode One to “American Pie,” during which the band donned Jedi robes and eight storm troopers and Darth Vador pranced on stage.
