Hey all. Sorry for the radio silence it has been a weird wild week. I'm sure, as there has been a lot of discussion, that many of you have seen that the truck tour is currently in our own backyard of Cambridge on Thursday and Friday. I'm hoping to be there at least part of the day each day if you want to stop by.

Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT)
Zesiger Sports and Fitness Center
120 Vassar Street (In front of the Fitness Center/Next to Student Center)
11:00AM – 6:00PM

On Friday we have our very own Bang Camaro playing at 1pm for half an hour (so as not to disrupt the brilliance at MIT) which will be awesome. Especially awesome since pretty much all of Harmonix is going to make the short hike down there and see them in lieu of eating lunch and... you know... working. Come and hang.

BLOGS!

Canfield further breaks down the character creator. (http://community.rockband.com/index.php?do=/public/blog/view/id_561/) (EDITORS NOTE- You can't actually put your band logo as is onto your clothes all willy nilly. Due to the seperate systems you'd have to make it over again in the store and then apply it. Which shouldn't be too hard or too much of a chore as the character creator RULEZ!)

Moss - brief but enlightening. (http://community.rockband.com/index.php?do=/public/blog/view/id_562/)


Later!

Sean quick question: What are the chances of another MD stop? That was my PM. Because last weekend I couldn't make it and was hoping for a second chance.

I don't know as i literally have nothing to do with scheduling. I wouldn't say they are great chances before the release of the game.

Cool blogs, I read them earlier, the character creation was a great read, and the path to enlightenment was interesting to say the least.

Sean do you think you will be making any east coast stops? or are you done touring?

Yes, it was quite a challenge to unravel. I first studied the word patterns to see if the coded message was based on a pattern. Taking the first letter of each word, I was able to deciper the following phrase:

"If cwn rb mut dctb (ie: m) foto it ttbm."

While at first this seemed insignificant, it would come in handy later.

Next, I copied the blog entry into a google search. The first result was a wikipedia entry, which conveniently had a link to an article on the Bulgarian hiphop scene. Here I almost came to another dead end.

Using the above coded phase, it was quite clear that the letter 'M' was significant, being in parenthesis. Searching the article for the letter M, I was directed to a reference to rap artist Avi MC.

From this I can quite obviously deduce that Avi MC is a bonus band set to premier in Rock Band next month. This is exciting news to see Bulgarian rap getting the credit it truly deserves. :cool:
