Performing That Way Smells Like Yoda’s 2000-inch TV.

I’ve been a fan of  Weird Al Yankovic for as long as I can remember. I’m pretty sure several of his albums are to this day stored away in my parents’ basement.

Of course, while sitting in my room listening to Alapalooza on cassette 18 years ago (1993! whoa.), the farthest thing from my mind was that I’d be seeing Weird Al live. Yet even further, perhaps in another dimension entirely, was the notion that I would be sharing the stage during his show.

This past weekend, I did just that, picking up a pair of bright red pom-poms and rocking out a routine to “Smells Like Nirvana” for two shows at Massey Hall. The show was also being filmed for a Comedy Central Special to be released on DVD in the fall.

It’s a tale of determination, dancing stormtroopers, sore limbs, and yummy catering. AND A REAL MOVING R2D2!!

It took a while for me to get this up, sadly the illegally recorded clips never came into fruition.

Head on over to my blog for photos and the whole story.
