If you are reading this - congratulations! The site is chugging pretty hard. We are doing some server side stuff that has taken a toll on the site while it is being worked on. Sorry about that!

Had an awesome birthday Saturday. A bunch of us went and sang and otherwise acted the fool. Also scotch. It was wicked fun.

This place is going to be bumping all week. We have press and video visiting the studio like all the time, some friends are stopping by, and we have some awesomitude planned for all us HMXers at the end of the week as well as some of our friends, families, and associates. I can't wait.

BLOGS!

DanT's long awaited blog. Enjoy! (http://community.rockband.com/index.php?do=/public/blog/view/id_597/)

My Nostradamus-like portent of the future. Feel free to analyze until it COMES TRUE! (http://community.rockband.com/index.php?do=/public/blog/view/id_598/)

Yeah they are! Jeez! It's also a slow day at work so I've been going nutz waiting for these pages to load up!

Happy belated b-day btw! Mine's on Thursday... not too excited about this one though. I've been thinking too much about Rock Band all year to even pay any attention to it :-\ Plus I'll be 23... kind of a boring year I guess. It'll all be better though in about two weeks!!!!!

Yah, I was wondering what was up around here...I only managed to slack about half the total the time I usually do cause everything loaded so slowly. You owe me several hours of slack time...

Delivering Rock Band to my house some time this week will be sufficient.

The excitement is at fever pitch, and I am practically clawing at my monitor with enthusiasm.

Can't wait to see you guys this week.

Please juice up your servers ASAP though, we can't have them choking on awesome. :cool:

Rock Band went gold. WOOHOO!

I'm kind of a little sad now.

The van should have been a VW Bus style thing.


I'm sure there's a perfectly good reason...

There better be.

I wish I had seen this blog before I heard about Harmonix's new game. No speculating for me! But I guess I can still analyze whether this will drive me to get an iPod. ;)

Forums were too slow last night for me to post effectively. Great blogs for yesterday, the more I hear about WTM the more excited I get to play it with my friends.

Glad to hear you had a good birthday Sean.

Only two weeks left until release, the countdown begins! I'm praying my school grades don't suffer too much.

Every thing looks amazing and I hope that not only do you plan on having DLC for songs which I know you do but also other venues to go to on your world tour. I would be heart broken if more people didn't know about the ROXY in ATL,GA or The 40Watt (The Place R.E.M. and a ton of other great bands played and made famous) and the Georgia Theatre in Athens ,GA or The Tabernacle and The Mascarade, Vortex in ATL,GA! There are so many venues that are a big deal in the South East that it stinks that they are over looked this time around! Any plans on having Venues as DLC? Like Tour The South East pack? I would love to make my starting place Athens,Ga as it is home to great indie rock bands like Of Montreal and R.E.M.:) Please give me some feed back on this as most of the venues in the U.S. are either in the North East or Western United States:)If you need any other proof of the popularity of the 40 watt just go here and be educated!:)
