So I found out a restaurant back where I used to live started up a Guitar Hero/Rock Band night once a week. Since I'm never one to turn down a chance to rock out, I drove over to check it out. It started out slow, playing a few songs on drums to get warmed up. But within a half hour more people had shown up and things got rolling.

It was pretty "thrown together" in the sense that there was no plan on how to get everybody in, but everybody who wanted to get a chance to play. The only rule was whoever was singing got to pick the song (For obvious reasons).

So I decided to grab the mic and give it a shot, and I think I it went well. Opened with Tenacious D's "Master Exploder", and moved on to a Foo Fighters set of "My Hero" and "Everlong" (which ranks as one as my favorite songs in ever). At one point, we only had three people...so I got a chance to Voxtar (well, Voxbass to be more accurate) which is playing guitar/bass while also singing. Played both Oasis' "Wonderwall" and AC/DC's "Let There Be Rock". That latter of which is an awesome song.

By the end of the night, the guy running the event and I took turns trying to beat various songs. We both failed out on attempts to beat "Panic Attack" by Dream Theater. But just as the place was closing I was able to finish off The Outlaws' "Green Grass & High Tides". I plan on going back within the next few weeks. It's "only" Guitar Hero, but that's fine. It's fun to get a chance to enjoy some music and just mess around with a bunch of fellow nerds.
