Karl's Corner - 09/16/2009

...Back to San Diego, winner of the coveted Most Pleasant Climate (MPC) award in 9 out of the last 10 years. Tonight is a homecoming show for Blink who all reside in these here parts. Its been a real pleasure being on the Bleezer Tour, and this, the penultimate show of the team-up promises to be a corker. Corks will be corked. And it was cork-tastic! After Asher Roth's debut on the tour and another blistering Taking Back Sunday set, Weezer took the stage and a super high energy show was indeed had by all, with ukeleles and acoustic guitars biting the dust, giant fans being tossed around like toys, finger tapping supreme, and of course the trampoline of trouble. Rivers nearly did a faceplant at one point doing some of his random trampoline stunts, but he made it out basically unscathed due to his advanced tumbling training and jumped right back into the rock pool for more. It was more they wanted, and more they got But they wilted in the heat when weezer got hot. Then came the Blink homecoming show which was ttotally insane. Too much rock? Too much? No. There is no such thing.
