I'm going to be going to New York tomorrow to do a radio show on Sirius. I'm going to take the Acela train in the morning! Toot toot! This is my first time, sorry if I am acting eight. What does this mean to you? Nothing. Just be nice to John. He's easily frightened by loud noises.

I had this conversation last night with my girlfriend about how awesome it is to live in Boston right now. Sox won the World Series. Patriots look less like a football team so much as a cyborg unit from the future sent back to destroy every record that currently exists. The Celtics are a team again. Boston College is somehow amazing. Some dude from here won the Nobel award. The Departed won all sorts of awards. And in one year we're putting out both Bioshock and Rock Band. Holy crap. It is like I am living in Bizarro Boston. At least the weather sucks or else everyone would hate us!

I want to make you more fully aware of the Battle of the Bands currently going on. 10 of the bravest gaming sites are currently competing in a 4 round Rock Band tournament. We are partnering with Scorehero for this as, let's be honest, no one does it better than they do. They are incredible. They wrote the rules for the tournament, set up the system by which scores are kept, and are hosting the site where you can (and should) see the current standings. Who are you rooting for?

Wow, that looks amazing!

I kind of want 1up to win (watch the 1up show, love the guys), but if Gamespy has Sluggo; it'll be no contest on songs like "Green Grass and High Tides".

Red Sox forever!

It is quite awesome to be living in Boston right now.

Lmao Gamespy's band name "Ninjaplease". Amazing.

It's awesome to live in Boston right now. Everything is great!

Can't wait to see who wins that BOB.

Yeah i've been a Massachusetts sports fan my whole life and never has it been so rewarding. It's good to see that all those years of torture and pain are finally starting to be forgoten. Now it's time for the Patriots, Eagles (BC), Celtics and Bruins to win.

Ooh nice, I wish I got Sirius radio, I would try and listen in. Acela trains are pretty cool, I usually take them home from school.

Will you be in Philly this weekend for the tour Sean? You should come, I'll definately be there Friday, and possibly some of the other days over the weekend.

Boston is doing too good in sports right now. Patriots are unstoppable, and Red Sox dominated the world series, I envy Boston fans right now, they are extremely lucky to have such good teams doing what they are doing.

I don't know who to cheer on for this Rock Band battle of the bands, I kind of want gamespot to win, I don't know why. It looks like they could have a chance, but they have some work to do against 1UP and Gamespy.

Sean, being from Springfield (you know, the often forgotten other city in the state), I agree with you about all the cool stuff going on in sports in NE right now.... I love how you left off the Bruins...

YAY BRUINS! (crickets)
