I actually entered a Rock Band tournament with my friends Sam and Katie yesterday. If only our drummer Cody wasn’t in jail (that sounds more bad ass than “he had to work during it”). It was a blast, going to this room with multiple large projections of Rock Band on the wall, and a practice set in the corner. And of course it’s fun trying our best against these great competitors. Each band got two sets of 3 songs, and the songs were chosen with a point system, which was tricky, but seemed to work well. There were people there a lot better than us of course, but let me tell you: we performed our hearts out.

There were some high highs (we won best dressed! That’s right, we went in costume!) and some low lows (due to speaker malfunction Katie couldn’t hear herself singing, which led to us failing Won’t Get Fooled Again even though I was a millisecond away from saving us, it was so heartbreaking I had to fall to me knees). And to my surprise, I won the raffle to get a brand new Rock Band bundle! How amazing. Sam is going to take it off my hands once we finish college, but until then it’s tons of drum battles!
