First of all: I'm the new one, hi!
I found something pretty interesting. It's the Weezer 2009/2010 Tourrider. For those who don't know what it is: It's a kind of contract where everything from food in the wardrobe to lights needed on stage is defined. Maybe some of you would like to see it. So here it is: WEEZER_RIDER.pdf
30 pages full of bureaucratic stuff but still with some interesting lines.

Towels: All towels must be soft and lint free and freshly laundered prior to event.
WEEZER total towel requirement: 6 dozen bath towels, 16 mid size towels and 18
small towels.
6 dozen = 72 towels. Wonder what they do with them all.
I'm mainly kidding with this. It's only kind of weird.

Please supply all hot cups, plates and bowls using paper products. NO
STYROFOAM ANYWHERE.

(sorry if this double-posted, having browser issues today) I love reading riders. Foo Fighters have a really good one that explains some of their requests and is just a fun read, giving some insight into life on the road. When I worked in the production field, I found that the more specific, the better for everyone involved. (Most of the towels are probably for the crew. Or maybe to clean up after the wild parties.)
I wish weezer's current rider specified a good high-speed wifi connection in the dressing room so we could get more awesome ustream broadcasts.
