50,000 Monkeys at 50,000 Typewriters Can't Be Wrong

that time i met nerf herder

Posted on 26 March, 201726 March, 2017 By Wil
Just a bunch of nerds on a boat.

I’ve been a fan of Nerf Herder since before the first record came out, because my friend had a pre-release. It was right around the time that Weezer stopped being Weezer, and Nerf Herder was all OH HELLO PEOPLE WHO LIKE CATCHY NERD ROCK WANT TO HANG OUT?

When I found out that the band was going to be on this year’s JoCo Cruise, I peed a little. But just a little, because I have moderately decent self control from time to time.

I got to spend some time with every member of the band while we were on the boat, and they are the nicest people, you guys. I also got to stand in the front row when they headlined JoCochella in Lareto, Mexico. I also also got to perform Sloop John B. with them on stage on the last night of the JoCo Cruise.

So, yeah, it was a pretty big deal for me, and one of those times I stopped to look around and say thank you to the universe for putting me into this timeline (as you can imagine, I spend a lot of time wondering when me from the future will get around to repairing this timeline).

    Really hope they’re back for JCC8 as they were the highlight of my cruise as well.

        The children’s concert may have broken me from smile overload.

    Just make sure future you doesn’t introduce anything that wrecks the JoCo cruises. Sometimes my chronicled Wheaton sightings is all that keeps me going!

    Seriously, do you believe in multiple timelines? I believe I’m on my fourth. (Nelson Mandela died in prison) I know this is not the right timeline. Trump as President? Really?!

    “as you can imagine, I spend a lot of time wondering when me from the future will get around to repairing this timeline”.
    “Curiouser and curiouser!” Cried Alice (she was so much surprised, that for the moment she quite forgot how to speak good English).”
    Not like you to get all metaphysical…but I like it…glad you got your joy on…you sure bring a lot of it to all of us…more power to you.

    Oh, and I think the you from the NOW, is responsible for getting around to it or you’ll never meet the you from the future. Or Schrodinger’s Cat or something like that…:)

    Oh my god thank you Wil Wheaton. I’d never heard of Nerf Herder. Been binge watching it on youtube ever since. My first 3 cd’s are already in the mail on their way to me.

    It’s been forever since I heard the name Nerf Herder… off to listen to some of their tunes. Glad you had such a great time with them.
