You know, I don't really have too much to talk about today. Things were kind of nuts but not particularly notable. Tomorrow my 8 year old cousin is coming to Boston to stay with us for the weekend, so I am going to bring her by HMX to try out the game and see what she thinks. Then we're going to the candy store. Couldn't be more stoked. I'm still looking for a rad restaurant in Boston that a kid would think is awesome but there aren't many. Any ideas.

Luckily, I don't have to keep talking ad nauseum since today's blogs are amazing.

I think by now with all the speculation, we can pretty much determine the price...Unless the price gets punched up to an astounding 100 billion dollars!!! *raises pinky to mouth*

[travmeatwad]

Sean, can I be your cousin for a weekend? I want to try out Rock Band. :p

[stinkdog2007]

I would also like to be your cousin too, please!

[Eman311]

Sean, just think about your own stomach, and go to the Cheescake Factory.

[HMXQualityControl]

Yes! SLIDERS!

[NorrenRadd]

better have her sign an NDA!

[ababypenguin]

whoa, I REALLY wanna be related to you now....

[Electric_Zen]

You have got to film some off these 'man-off-the-street' playtest sessions, and include them as bonus videos in the game. They are sure to be amazing and hilarious!

[ThePaska]

Ooh sounds like you're going to have a fun weekend sean. If I come up to Boston this weekend can I be your 8 year old cousin? She's one lucky girl to get to play Rock Band!

DanT had another solid blog today. I was a bit upset about no price announcement, I had my hopes up for a second. I'll be looking forward to Leipzig/PAX because there is now promise of new info. I'm glad to hear about lefty flip, and that achievements are retroactive. It all sounds great, I'm glad we got some tidbits of news today.

The QA blog was fun too. A bit easy to find some mistakes, I'm sure it's a lot harder in real life. Very fun though, and a good read!

I need to know if the 360 is going to get wired guitars or not...I'm not sure how valid this is, but Kotaku claims the PS3 will get wireless and the 360 will get wired...

what say you, oh master of the blogosphere!?

[Xzyliac]

Damn if that doesn't sound like a pwnge weekend.

There's a great place we went to a couple weeks ago. May be out of your way depending on what side of the compass you're at. I'll find the name.

Bugaboo Creek Steak House. That's it. Awesome place.

Hey Sean when can we expect to see some pics of the PAX swag? Ballpark time frame?

Isnt Bugaboo a chain restaurant? I know there is one about 5 minutes from where I live. good stuff though.

[Xzyliac]

Maybe. My trip to Boston consisted of VERY out of the way eats (Rhode Island, New England, little random towns we chose to hang out at) but Bugaboo was the closest. Funny people too.

You must have a *****in' dental plan there at Harmonix.

Keep us posted man.

[MetalChickenDragon]

I am your father. Take me to to the mighty Rock Band HQ or I will unleash the force on you.

[Magnet]

I think this is the one time I wished I was an eight year old girl related to hmxsean.

[travmeatwad]

I said it first, so I should get to be his cousin for a weekend. :p

That should be a contest.. "Be Sean's Cousin For A Weekend."

I should get to go automatically because I thought of it. Haha.

Is it just me, or is there something creepy with "be sean's cousin for a weekend", and something that sounds a leeeeeeeeetle bit like inbreeding?

Forget I said anything...:P

[travmeatwad]

You're right.. They'd have to rename it to "Play Rock Band For A Weekend."

Haha.

cool beans!
