Taking Back Sunday now have one of the top ten albums in the country with their new CD, New Again, and kindly took time out of their busy schedule to meet their #1 fan. . . Wade, the infamous Denny’s Allnighter t-rex. Yes, t-rex:

Still clad in the band’s t-shirt, Wade celebrated the only way he knows how – with late night eats at Denny’s. Unfortunately for him, some foods are simply more small-arm-friendly than others. Check out what happened in this exclusive new webisode in the Denny’s Allnighter series to follow up the national television spot :
