Okay, I've heard a bunch of "it was a good first attempt" and "maybe next time" yadda yadda yadda, but has anyone heard any inkling of info about whether Harrah's will be doing this again. Obviously they wouldn't be in the planning stages of doing another with this one ending just a couple of weeks ago, but has anyone heard anything? Little rumors, hush-hush stuff, etc.

Ahahahaha, Pic #44 is awesome. FAILED

Man, i really wish i could have made it.

Also: Damn you, lefties!

LOL. Yep that was me. I sat down and quickly figured out someone had switched the drums to lefty mode and changed the calibration. I learned an excellent rule -- Midi Rockers should NOT be calibrated in lefty mode. If anyone has one for a Roland, learn from my mistake!! We have lots of video from the party we're going to try dubbing together the best moments and shooting out a link tonight or tomorrow...

This is why the Midwest rocks the hardest - A mash-up of V.S., N.I.D., and Free Beer rockin' out together.

*sigh*

Why do all the best tournaments only for 21+? The rest of us are all sitting here jealous.

...I could sure use $10,000.

I know and I was personally invited to do this too.

The final video from the competition is up at harrahs.com/rockband

There is a pretty nice montage of footage at the end that should touch every band at the regionals!

The video of the Midwest region "After party" is up. Glad so many rock bands showed up -- we hope to have another one soon!

Noes! Throughout this entire thing, Harrah's bad info gathering and writing stated that I was the bassist, however, I was really the guitarist. No love!

I figured this would be a good place to post, since it's relevant to the competition.

Being the generous bastard that I am, I figured it'd be a nice idea to surprise my bandmates with something.

For reference, here's what we looked like (thanks Saiko).

So what did I get my bandmates? Bandmates! One for each person. Had a hell of a time trying to keep this secret, as I had to conveniently "forget" my MU about a dozen times so no one would see the characters on my list. Needless to say, everyone was shocked.
