It was an exciting year at the SEMA convention, lots of new parts, and cars to look at, and lots of exciting things to talk about.
There was a bunch of neato sparkly cars, and big engines that make alot of hp, and girls wearing next to nothing, and the parties……..oh man the parties were………..crazzzzzzzzyyyyy. My favorite part was the unveiling of this car……….. called ROCK BAND 2~!
Rock Band 2 is from a small company called harmonix, and let me tell you, this car is awesome, handles great, you can play drums, 2 guitars (one guitar, one bass guitar), and sing!!!!!!!!!!!
So first things first, find the band—–here is roomate Travis, he’s skilled in the ways of the drums, mostly, and also is pretty good on guitar-
Next we needed a bassist. Bassists are historically chosen for three things, Stage presence, Bitchin Hair, and the ability to play the bass, in that order. Filling that slot is Lindsay Ross (part time DA ace, full time rocker).
And then theres me, i can play the guitar pretty well, i’m learning on the drums, which are super fun, but wicked hard, and i can work the microphone better than those two. So here’s our first band setup……
This was sweet for awhile, but then we realized, wait a minute, we have 4 instruments for the game, and we are only using 3, that just can’t be right. Also, like i said travis is about ten million times better than me on the drums, so we decided to find an old cymbal stand, tape the microphone to it, and viola; full on rock band 2!
This game rules, i know we look like 15 year old dorks, but its worth it. Spending the day with this thing cranked is SO much fun. Stopping only for drinks, and food, and checking out the oddly clear LA sky, SEMA week was awesome!!!
Thanks to our gardener who we convinced to take those band pics, and BOOOO to travis’s ex-gf for taking our awesome stereo when they broke up, now rock band 2 isn’t as loud.
