Onstage with Weird Al

[Astrofreq]

Hey guys, I just got home from the Weird Al gig. There were 12 of us Stormtroopers and 1 Vader. We came out and danced during the Star Wars tune. It was a blast. More pictures and video coming soon.

It's funny, I've been playing guitar for 21 years and can't get jack to happen. I put together a Stormtrooper costume and three later I'm onstage in front of 3,000 people. Hmm . . .

I can dig the costume thing...

Try wearing the costume while you are playing the guitar.

if their was a Chewbacca on stage with you, that was my mother in law

 

[dmullen]

If Jabba was there that was my x-mother in law.

 

[Adwex]

Ha, cool. What venue? BB Kings?

 

[Astrofreq]

No, the Beacon Theater. That place is beautiful.

Gnarls Barkey did this on an awards show. Each band member dressed up in Star Wars garb. The singer was Vader (minus the helmet), one guitarist was a stormtrooper, another was a jedi. I think the drummer was Chewie.

Thats fantastic! When Gnarles was on Letterman he was dressed up in school uniform. I think he likes fancy dress!
