Mmm, thunderstorms.

So, yesterday, I decided to take my frustrations out on Rock Band. Step #Whatever of the wierdo Utena plan came down to "Who'd more likely want to play drums? Anthy, or Saionji?", and I decided that Anthy had -more than enough pent up frustration- to be an excellent drummer, and started a solo tour quite well before Steve tried to get me in a 360 chat, and I found out that trying to use the mic + drums = FAIL.

After some more misadventures, and the DSL being screwy again, Alex and I had some dinner and decided to pick up our World Tour again. (If you missed our previous installment, BanderSNATCHED! had just won a van, man!)

Hitting the mystery setlists in Seattle, LA, San Fran, and then a BUS COMPETITION, I took every song cold on medium and the lowest we came out of it was a 4 star with Alex at 95+ % and me at 91%. The bus competition was especially rawksome, as we came out of there with 5 stars on every star, a couple of 15,000+ point BIG ROCK ENDINGS, and a question of just what we had to do to get a 6th star, if we were so inclined.

Then we took the bus to Chicago, and going into "Detroit Rock City" cold whipped our asses. But we made it out of there with 4 stars (barely), and I'm quite pleased at how well we were doing.

Caught the end of the Flames/Oilers beatdown (-5 goals-. 5. And Edmonton picked up a -7 minute powerplay-, 5 minutes of it a major, which they doodled around for 4:30 and converted twice in the last 2:30), and the end of PHX/COL, and got to watch the Avs colour guy get so furious about Phoenix slamming the OT winner in under Budaj's pads that I thought he was actually going to vibrate himself into a new state of matter.

Alex's commentary was: "He's either a living bobblehead, or a tweaker who just hit the end of the road."

Then I slept, and I woke up. And we're having one hell of a thunderstorm here.

I have to go to work now. Here we go again!

Feh. Our band is a lesbian punk band called the Burning Bushes. We could kick BanderSNATCHED's ass in any fair battle of the bands.

Dude. Don't doubt the power of Steampunk Goth Rock.

Besides, how the hell is it a "fair" battle if you make out on stage to get people to cheer? 2 dudes making out != 2 chicks making out at your average Battle of the Bands scene.

Maybe in San Francisco, I dunno.

I said lesbian punk band, not tATu cover band. Our guitarist alone is a sufficiently focused ball of punky rage to destroy Victorian science.

I only got one thing to say, and it starts with BRING IT.

(Can we do that? I know you can do co-op on live, but haven't tried it...)

Gimme two weeks - my sister is coming to visit and bringing me a spare wireless adapter I can use on my 360. Once it's networked, the pain and lesbians will be brought.

Keen. Co-op could be really fun, too. I'd like a chance to really mess around with playing bass, and I can even be convinced to sing if prodded or lubricated sufficiently.
