Guitar Hero

This weekend in LA was great despite sitting in traffic for an hour outside of the Rose Bowl parking lot only to watch a crappy football game v. Notre Dame. Besides that it was a great time hanging with the UCLA lads, cocktailing, and living like a 21 year old. Unfortunately, these old bones can't handle it and I'm sick as a dog.

I'm probably sick due to lack of sleep last weekend and the Playstation Game Guitar Hero is to blame. Never being one for video games, this game may be the best pre-party device since Jenga and King's Cup. I think I'm the last person on Earth to play it so rather than explaining it, I advise you check out this link. Or this. Or this. Its basically guitar karaoke, but maybe 100 times better than that.

Not only is it super fun to play, its great fun to watch and sing along to the great songs that the game has. Francis has three different versions so we had over 60 songs to play. (My fave was Deep Purple's Smoke on the Water...pretty simple on the easy level.)We meant to go out on Friday night, but ended up getting a single drink at a Hollywood bar and returning to the crib to play for another 3 hours.

I highly recommend it.
