'Twas the Night Before the Tweet-In
Tomorrow will be a very Al-focused day. Of course, the man himself will turn fifty years old (and you HAVE sent him a card already, right?), but it will also be the day of our First Annual Make the Rock Hall "Weird" Tweet-In on Twitter.
We have set up a page on our web site detailing all that you need to do, but for those who need their information right now this second...at some point during the day on Friday, send a tweet to the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame's official Twitter account and request that Al be inducted. That's it!
Just be sure to properly format your tweet so that the Rock Hall receives it. Remember, to address them you need to include @rock_hall somewhere in your tweet.
And if you want to suggest other artists for induction, feel free. All we ask is that non-Al-related tweets still include the tag #WeirdAl. After all, it's still his day.
So if all that is still too much for you to remember, we supposed you can just copy and paste the following sample tweet, but it would be better if you personalized it a little....
@rock_hall: Isn't it about time for you to induct "Weird Al" Yankovic? #WeirdAl
Be sure to spread the word on your own Twitter account, your Facebook page, your MySpace (for all three of you who still use it), etc. There is absolutely no reason any online Al fan cannot participate.
And don't forget, Tuesday marks the release of the new two-disc collection The Essential "Weird Al" Yankovic. Be sure to pre-order it or at least buy it during its first week of release so that it will chart in Billboard.
Let's make our tweets heard!
