Let me tell you what I’m not going to do. Go to the Harrah’s Carnival Court and “Rock the World”? Holy crap, you guessed it. First try too. I’m not even mad, that’s amazing. Unfortunately I am not “ready to rock” nor will I ever be. So why may I ask did my Rock Bandmates sign our band up for a Rock Band competition that would be played in an outdoor venue on the Las Vegas strip? Sounds pretty insane to me considering I can’t even play guitar in front of a couple of lifelong friends without the shakes. Yeah, that $10,000 grand prize, split 4 ways of course, just isn’t enough. It makes me wonder that if $2500 isn’t enough to get me up and singing in front of hundreds of people, what price could I actually place on my stage fright? Regardless, it’d probably be a really high number. Just thinking about it gets me shaking again. I’m not sure there’s enough beer in the world.

This whole situation does make me miss playing Rock Band every weekend though. Those were good times and it’s been months since I last played. Playing real guitar is way more productive though and now that I started playing real guitar with other people, I don’t see a real reason to play Rock Band anymore. What a dilemma I’ve got on my hands. Rock Band Beatles comes out 09-09-09 and I’m not even sure I want that now. Oh well, time to play some guitar. Need to get that Tequila Sunrise solo memorized. These things don’t play themselves you know.
