Spotlight on Fred
The Illinois State Fair caught up with super-fan Denise Olderr, better known to her friends as Fred, before Saturday night’s show. If you’ve been to a concert in recent years, you may have seen her there. Why? Because Saturday was her 136th show, and she has no intention of stopping any time soon!
The artwork from the first van she painted is on display here and here, and you can see a lot of Fred’s awesome concert photos in the WeirdAl.com photo gallery.
Yay for Fred!

Oh GOD. 136??!!! Too much money! She might as well send Nina to college.
If it makes her happy… well, it makes me happy to go. But 136 times, good God.

Fred is a great gal! I’ve met her and was very impressed with her nice personality and sincerity. She’s not your typical groupie, either. She’s a FRIEND. I hope she gets to attend 136 more Weird Al concerts! By the way; there’s nothing wrong with sending Nina to college. I’m 130 concerts behind so I’d better get out there and catch up!

You go, Fred! I think it’s great! I wish I could tourchase, but, alas, the family thing just won’t allow it.
