Weird Al Star Fund teams up with Make The Rock Hall “Weird”
Two matters of business to handle today.
First, our friends over at Make The Rock Hall “Weird”, the grassroots campaign to get “Weird Al” Yankovic inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame, are now offering tour shirts and hoodies for sale.
And, best of all, all proceeds from the sale of the tour shirts will go to the Weird Al Star Fund. The shirts are now offered exclusively at the Star Fund’s Cafepress shop, and like all of our merchandise, the shirts have full approval of Al’s management. So not only do you get a cool and pretty unique piece of Al clothing, but you also get to support two international grassroots fan efforts!
The Rock Hall campaign is still looking for petition volunteers, so if you’re planning of attending any Weird Al concerts this spring or summer, or just looking to get out and meet new Al fans, stop by their website and learn how you can help.
The second matter of business is a challenge issued by Sexy Sexy Joe Lavelle over on the Weird Al Forum. I won’t repost it here, since the formatting wouldn’t work out all that great, but he makes some excellent points. When you read it, I think you’ll agree. And the response has been pretty good so far, but we still have a way to go. We need more volunteers to take the Joe Lavelle Challenge.

Thanks ABN!
If you mean where to send the money, you can send PAYPAL to donations@weirdalstar.com or send check/money order to Weird Al Star Fund, P.O. Box 3126, Oceanside, CA 92051-3126, USA. All this info is on http://www.weirdalstar.com (click on “donations”) too.
If you mean how, you can use a credit card, or pay directly from a checking or savings account using Paypal. Paypal handles the transaction, so we don’t see any of your private info. It’s easy and free to set up an account there too. All you need is an email address to get started. Or you can send a check or money order to the PO box. You can get a money order at any post office for pretty cheap.

Thanks Elvis, but…I”M A KID, remember?? I’m, like, in the 12-14 age range! Is it OK to set up a PayPal account if you are that young?

Tack this onto my last post:
Since not sure I can set up a PayPal account, I’ll just use the P.O. Box.
