Weezer sure has had a busy, interactive year. After spending the last few months asking their fans to come out and play, they are now asking for video clips of anything “artistic, abstract, and/or weird” for their upcoming tour, which is currently being referred to as “The Weezer 2008 North American Troublemaker Tour.” So if you have some cool footage get over to the Weezer Tour Imagery Group on YouTube and upload it for your chance to be a part of their next kick-ass show. If not, grab your camera and go film something cool. Don’t worry about using your brain too much since they specifically say they do not want anything with a story or meaning. So it would be pretty hard to fail. At least not as bad as this guy. So what are you waiting for? Go get your Tarantino on and maybe you could see the fruits of your labor on the big screen at one of Weezer’s upcoming shows:
