On Tuesday, 08/25/09:

Join us at The Village Pourhouse to get your hands on the music videogame making news around the globe – The Beatles: Rock Band! The game allows fans to pick up the guitar, bass, mic or drums and experience The Beatles’ extraordinary catalogue of music through gameplay that takes players on a journey through the legacy and evolution of the band’s legendary career. We’ll be showing off nearly all the songs from the game disc, including “Here Comes The Sun,” “I Want To Hold Your Hand,” “Yellow Submarine,” “SGT. Pepper’s Lonely Hearts Club Band,” “Paperback Writer” and more!

*There will be a limited open bar for part of the night.*

[moshun]

Question: Is it free to play?

[Tinykoko]

whats a good time to go? I mean, when are the most people?...I dont want to getb there around 7 and be the only guy sitting there!

[moshun]

You won't be the only guy sitting there if you bring some friends. I went at around 8 and there were quite a number of people that seemed like regulars there.

Hmmm, your avatar looks kind of familiar. Are you sure you haven't been there before? hehe

[Tinykoko]

I'm going tonight. Armed with a camera ;)

[moshun]

I'm going tonight. Armed with a camera ;)

woohoo me too

[Tinykoko]

okay.. seriously. if you live in the area and are 21 or over, why haven't you come to this? it was insanely fun, the people are all really awesome, the drinks are cheap haha (although i didnt drink :p) .. EVERYBODY! GO!

[S1ckH4nds]

As above. It was awesome meeting both Tinykoko and Moshun last night, and always good to see the motley crew of regulars. Not to mention there were a large portion of out-of-towners about; Gurnkiller, SHPhr34k, PMSElFi, PMS_UGBBG, RockBandAide and his girlfriend, and dozens more I'm certain I'm forgetting.

Get your butts out there, and I hope to see you in the weeks to come!

[moshun]

It was really great to meet you guys. Was super packed last night. I had a blast. And I got to see gurnkiller's drumming skills in person (it's INSANE!)

Anybody in the NYC area on a tuesday night should definitely come on down to the Village Pourhouse. :D

[joelman]

So glad I got to meet Tinykoko and moshun last week. And I'm glad you guys had a great time.

We will be doing our thing this Tuesday (of course with the new Alice in Chains DLC), so try and make it if you can.

Oh also:

whats a good time to go? I mean, when are the most people?...I dont want to getb there around 7 and be the only guy sitting there!

It gets full fast. The earlier you come the more songs you'll eventually play. It really starts getting busy at 8 most of the time, but we have a $2 drink special from 7-8pm.
