Weird Al Concert



My daughters convinced me to take them to a concert.  So last night our whole family went to see "Weird Al" Yankovic.  It was at The Fox Theater in Riverside.  Over two hours of  "Weird Al" music supplemented by "Weird Al" Show videos.   It was fun.  Bunch of new songs and the old familiar ones.  The perfect ending with the "Star Wars" medley.
