There Was Rocking

I turned 30 this weekend, and thanks to friends that are way too good to me there was a seriously rockin' party. Tom and I built a stage, lazyJ took care of the lighting, Felicia loaned us her PA system, and Gabe made this beauty:

At one point there was a rock band drum off of me vs LazyJ. Sadly I didn't realize that the tape ran out before lazyJ's performance, so we can only show you mine:

This makes me feel a little better about the pre-party trash talking video we sent Ammogirl. Here's the flattire boys rocking a little Blink 182. We're pretty spot on with that one but could use some longer guitar straps.

I had set up my camera to take a picture once a minute all night, and here are the highlights. The dark room with stage lights look is lost because of the camera's flash, but oh well. The pics at the end are of a Greg & Tom post part jam session, because the rock band party plus the 5-6 hours of rock band we played the day before apparently weren't enough.

I've got a lot of grainy low light video to upload to youtube for everyone to laugh at but it might take a while. Thanks to everyone who helped out, showed up, and most importantly rocked out.

Happy belated birthday. Sorry I couldn't make it to the "gig". But if it makes you feel better, I missed my soccer game that day too.

lazyJ - I think we tied. I hit more notes, but I think your score was higher. I missed almost all of the streaks of white notes.

Gabe - you're always dressed like a rock star

AG - All I said was I finished drums on the medium solo tour! I can play the easier songs on hard. I better come clean though, that was Maps on expert, but it's about the same as Maps on hard. Try it! I bet you'll pick it up quick because of your awesome drumming skillz. ROCK BAND!!!

eddie - thanks man. If you watch the videos later and make sure you laugh at them, that was pretty much the party experience.

I hate "Maps"... that's the worst song on RockBand. By the way, are you on a band? If you are, what is the name?
