How was your day? Sadly there will be no LoveBucket practice tonight as we are one member down today. I think a name change may have happened as well - to "Revenge Pretty" which I also like. I am aching to get on the game and play. Sometimes I start jonesing a little. Our next practice is Thursday and then we only have one more before PAX.

Speaking of PAX, who is going? You should PM me and let me know so I can make sure you get at least one turn on the game (I have a feeling there will be lines.) I can't have community folks getting short shrift. Also, there will only be two members of LoveBucket/Revenge Pretty out there and we may need a few fill-ins. Who better than you lot?

[SoraRikuVGM]

Too bad I'm not going. I can't afford a 360, much less an airline ticket

[PsycoCheerio]

I am so going, only about an hour and a half drive, I got about 6 buddies who are going too, gonna be a problem with the car but that's what the trunck is for.

[ThePaska]

Cool blogs today, I really love the art from the playtester. All those going to PAX are really lucky. Thats really cool of you to give us forum members slightly special treatment sean! I can't wait for it either, just one week away, we'll be getting some solid Rock Band news, I'm super excited!

[karlkaza]

I can't go!
Its in freakin' seattle!
Right?

[MotleyPriest111]

Damn it, I'm on the other side of the country!

Awesome, I am going to try to work out a little exclusive time with the game for community folks. I'll keep you posted.

[sushi111]

You travelling to Eastern Canada anytime soon Sean?

Ha, I wish.

So Sean is tehre going to be a rockin new build at PAX your going to tell us about?

Or you could just tell us all the songs now:cool:

[Xzyliac]

Revenge Pretty. Incredible. You guys...that just so owns...seriously to me you guys are the rockstar equivalent.

Now let's talk expos: Do we have an official list of which expos Rock Band will be demoed? If so which of those will actually have Harmonix bands (reps or employees sounds lame)? And lastly, and maybe more answerable, can we expect any pre-release DLC on Live or PSN? Trailers, themes, picture packs, anything?

Sorry, got more questions tonight for some reason. Normally I can contain myself to 1

[TheTogfather]

are you kidding me? A chance to jam w/ Revenge Pretty and I'm gonna miss it? ARGH!

Have fun Paxers...take pics...and vids...and steal a copy and send it to me. :)

[Hade01]

Why must PAX be so far away? That would be an incredible birthday present for me next week! :D

[Xzyliac]

Why does the East Coast get the crap end of the stick? And Harmonix is here! You guys should use your influence and bring us our PAX/E3 hybrid. But not down south. Like between DC and Boston somewhere.

[deathstick]

I got gooned for the last playtest!! I met all the criteria and got an email back from Jon Carter of Mars saying I was too late!!! Any more happening soon??

[Electric_Zen]

You're doing a great job with the community stuff, Sean. Thanks for throwing us some bones.

when was this? I got an email from him yesterday inviting me to come down sometime in the next two weeks. I met the criteria also, but i'm waiting for him to email me back. I have my fingers crossed.

[Akaymay]

Haha, I wonder...if I were to go to Boston, would they let me in the Harmonix offices? It's only like...two hours. And Xziliac, agreed, It sucks here on the East Coast. Especially here in Jersey. All we have here are toxic waste dumps and Bon Jovi...

(Hah, I'm good at New Jersey stereotypes)

[Apples]

Woo, I got a shout out for my crazy blog post.

The celebrity status is already rushing to my head. Gotta go down some booze and go stupid crazy like Paris Hilton and Britney Spears.

Lies! You also have Six Flags and AC!! lol

Sean you definately have to get something going on at the East end. Dooooo iiiiit :D

And about your cousin....Thats alright, shes young. I'd probably be thinking about candy too if I was her.......mmmmmm Reese's lol

Keep up the good work release some new songs *cough* PAX *cough* :cool:

I'm pretty sure Harmonix wouldn't just let you walk into their offices and start playing their game...

[Akaymay]

Haha, one can dream, can't they?

[Magnet]

Sadly there will be no LoveBucket practice tonight as we are one member down today.

Which one is gone? It's perfectly okay to continue practice without a member if it's the bassist who's missing. ;)

[mobhit101]

My brother was supposed to come down and visit me this weekend so we could hang out and whatnot, therefor clearing up my weekend for next week (PAX). Sadly, he works for douche bags and they said he couldn't have this weekend off but NEXT weekend...............
I love you Rock Band. I love you a lot. But, I love my brother just a liiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiittle bit more. I CAN'T GO TO PAX ANYMOREEEEEEEEEE. I think I'm going to cry :(
This is truly a sad day. I was looking forward to meeting some peeps and of course Rock Band. ::sigh::

[Coldplayer]

How was your day?

Bad. The first thing I read today was "EA confirms no Rockband for Europe in 2007". I was shocked and followed the link to Gamespot, and well, the EA UK guy said "I don't think it comes out in 2007 here". Ok, that's not really an official statement I guess. But it still doesnt sound good. :(


Speaking of PAX, who is going? You should PM me and let me know so I can make sure you get at least one turn on the game (I have a feeling there will be lines.)

Oh wow, I wish I could. But I would rather have the chance to go to Leipzig again, but unfortunately I can't be there too this year. Argh... damnit... what a bad day today :(

[Eman311]

I'm pretty sure Harmonix wouldn't just let you walk into their offices and start playing their game...

maybe if you ask beforehand?

[Rev0lver]

i'll fill in a spot if you send me a PAX and plane ticket :)

[Xzyliac]

(Hah, I'm good at New Jersey stereotypes)

I lived in Rahway for two years and I totally agree.

[sa_nick]

Umm yeah... I just looked up how much it'd cost me to get to PAX...

Plane tickets alone are $3752, and I'd need another $500 for accommodation and misc stuff. I think I'm gonna have to sit this one out.

[Anteraan]

Which one is gone? It's perfectly okay to continue practice without a member if it's the bassist who's missing. ;)

Yes, because as we all know, a mini-fridge is more important than a bassist. ;)

[tf5_bassist]

I always wince a bit when I see that one.

although it is kinda' true. :D
