p.s. his band is full of cream-of-the-crop-excellent-dudes as well.

I had a blast. It was such a pleasure to spend time with family and friends and see a band who has always held a huge, special place in my heart for the last 15 years.

I'm not into the newer Weezer records, but I'm glad they're still around. Their fans are rabid in the best way possible, and tons of fun to shoot..
