Rock 'til the break of dawn

Who knew that a little technology could bring so many people together for a riotous night? We found this out the rockin' way on Saturday when we had a bunch of friends over to play our newly acquired Rock Band.

My little brother approached me a couple months ago and asked if I'd like to purchase his PlayStation 2, complete with games and accessories--I caved. I'd actually been looking into getting a used system, so I figured I could help subsidize my little bro's mission and help him out.

He had warned me before the transaction even took place that the drum pedal was broken. Well, with the help of Paulie (thanks a zillion!!) and a couple trips to hardware stores, the pedal is now in working order. (Thanks to Lacy, the courier, for helping me get it in time!)

And so a party was born. We had great friends, great food, and hilarious entertainment. Seemed like everyone who came had a great time--and if you didn't, well, you can't blame me. :)

Our first 'band'--Tait on guitar, Lincoln on bass, Spencer on the drums, Ben on vocals

Oh Gus...you're hilarious. (And a little extra hilarity for those of you who got to read this shirt of mine up close that night!)

Rachel is a guitar master. I don't know how her fingers fly so fast!

Our band getting ready to perform--Me on vocals, Chris on the drums, Melinda on guitar, Sharolyn on bass

The girls (please excuse the messy kitchen in the background...but on that note, does anyone know how to remount a hood vent?)

Come on...we weren't THAT boring! Tait claims he has an excuse as to why he was so lackadaisical...I don't know if I can believe him. ;)
