Party like a Rock Star

Saturday night Chad and I went to Adrian's house (a co-worker of Chad's) to play Rock Band on the xBox 360. Here is a pic.



As you can see, it is similar to Guitar Hero, but you have vocals, drums and bass guitar along with it so four people can play at once. During this past week Chad has wowed his co-workers with his drumming abilities provoking such comments as, "Chad is a rock god." and, "He plays with less angst than I do and more style on the solos. Bigtime props to Chad." Chad and I enjoyed ourselves so much we decided to buy Rock Band for ourselves.



I think I have a lot of catching up to do. Thankfully the vocals are easy to fake and I am learning on the guitar too. I am enjoying Rock Band as well. Below is an e-mail titled "You've created a monster" that Chad sent out to his fellow Rock Band co-workers.
"While Dixie was napping yesterday, I drove the 0.4 miles to GameStop and picked up the full CrackBand kit so we’d have it to play when she woke up. She jumps into the tutorial on the guitar, and before I know it she’s doing it all: bass, guitar, drums, vocals. Sure, she’s on easy, but we all have to start somewhere. Next thing you know, we’ve created and customized characters and are out on the world tour. We almost hooked up with Bill online before he logged out right after sending a game invite (what the hell was that about?? :P).

Later last night, she pulls me into the office to show me the various pads on eBay that people have created for the drums. She was about to bid on an auction that was closing soon. I had no idea she had surfed it up.

I got a phone call this morning from her. “Hey, I’m on my way to Wal-Mart to get a video rocker chair…” Guess I know what she’s doing with her day off."


Baby Rock Star
We had another doctor's appointment today and all looks good. Baby Willwerth has a heartbeat of 140 beats per minute (within the normal range). We are really anticipating our appointment on February 15th when we will hopefully discover the gender of baby Willwerth.
