I am amazed that it has been so long since I have posted anything on "Weird Al" Yankovic. After all, everybody surely knows how obsessed of a fan that I am. Maybe I was too busy watching the DVD set of "The Weird Al Show." Or maybe I have spent the last several months memorizing his song "Weasel Stomping Day" in Klingon.

In any case, you can rest assured, I am just as devoted as ever. And I am here to report some earth-shattering news: Weird Al is coming in concert! No, not to Louisville--but King's Island is only a couple of hours away. And I can see him live for the first time since his Running with Scissors tour on August 18, 2007 at the Timberwolf Amphitheatre.

Well . . . that is if we can find a babysitter for the day, and if I can get tickets (a not-so-subtle suggestion for a perfect birthday gift, perhaps?).
