So, you might have heard of this new video game....

Definitely digging Beatles Rock Band- We had Robin over to get a full Fab 4 thing happening. We did a bit of the chronological storyline, but I  at least was a bit too impatient to wait for my preferred later works. I will have to practice drums by myself until I get the muscle memory down, but I switched off with Robin and quiet_elegance with the mic. I hope my mom can visit soon so she can help with the singing. I think she'd love it. As soon as q_e has gotten over the worst of post surgery, we'll definitely have to have some parties. The big TV does justice to the OMG graphics. I don't want to alarm anyone, but I think the band was on Druuuuuugs! For that matter, some of the graphic designers probably are, too- not that there's anything wrong with that.
There was general awkwardness over the oh, yeah- this is mostly blues. I have problems with the blue/red chord. I tend to gravitate towards bass, but purple_terror and I switched off a bit. I'm still amazed at how intuitive the progression was. And I wish I could remember which one had a walking bass line but it was in the Liverpool part of the story. :) 
After about an hour our eyes were crossing so we watched dancing auditions and Glee, so a performing arts sort of night. Yay :)

Thank you, Harmonix! Thank you badlittlemonkey !

*quietly raises hand and bats eyelashes*

And Glee? I forgot that Glee had started? Was it the preview?

Glee: It was the premiere- should be on Hulu.
I need to get past tomorrow and q_e's surgery then start planning a RB party :)

So, my sister M's high school friend Eric? (Did you go to her wedding? He was one of their attendants.) He's got the sweetest job in the world. He works for Harmonix. He travels around the country doing demos and events for Rock Band with some other guys. They go, they set up, they rock out. Travels like crazy. Was on Conan the other night, apparently. He's on FB and does do status updates about his travels and any known glitches. If you're interested, I'll ask him to accept your friends request.

That is super-cool! That must be one of the best jobs ever, assuming one likes to travel :)
I usually don't stalk strangers on FB, but thanks for the offer -teehee!

Can we bring the kids?

[drwex]

They were both totally into the RB thing last July 4. Plans are afoot for us to get one at some point. Probably after the Wii/Wii Fit thing.

Re: Can we bring the kids?

When we get there, sure, seems like a kid-friendly activity.
