Free DLC Night + Rockin' for a year already!

Tonight we played at DMan's place and it was a feast for eyes and ears. He has a great projector and a powerful sound system. Unfortunately, due to Pheonix's perpetual leg injury and his queeziness due to the size of the screen, we couldn't increase any of our scores.

With Raikan playing remotely, we decided to play some of the free DLC since both PS3's had those and we had yet to play many of these as a band. Bongoo had the most FCs (6), followed by DMan (4) and Raikan (2).

When we lost our connection with Raikan, Trapper took up the Bass for the first time in a year and we played some random DLC. After helping us with paths and seeing us win 2nd place at the competition a few weeks back, he has a new interest in the game.

It's hard to believe but it's already been about a year since we started playing weekly. The original band name was "3 Macas and a Trapper", but after he stopped playing it was "3 Macas and a Random Guest" (we had new people every week). In June, DMan joined the band and "3 Macas and a Reject" was formed. 2 months later we cracked the top 10 and started this blog, eventually going all the way to #2 for RB1 PS3!

After also climbing the leaderboards in RB2 and catching up to some great online superbands, we finished off our first year with two live competitions, getting 2nd place in the first one. I'm sure there will be lots of neat highlights for our 2nd year!

With DMan in Vegas next week, we'll take a week off, our first since starting a year ago. In two weeks, we'll have another session at DMan's, this time to work on a special project. After that, you better watch out "Happy People" and others, we'll be continuing our RB2 leaderboard climb! :)

It's not that I left... it kept disconnecting us. After about 10minutes, I shut down since a) I didn't get a new invite, and b) I had to finish packing. :(

We kind of assumed that you left since you mentionned you were only good for a few other songs, so we got Gagnon to replace you on bass.

Next time maybe we'll get some phone coordination going on.

To Raikan: What DMan said.

To all who will be traveling soon: Have a good trip!

Have Fun In VEGAS it is a blast there :-) - or it was last time i was there lol

We don't mind U guys taking a break - we are working on being #1 on GHM and going to start on GHWT soon as well just because they are local band scores only games.

Good idea Sebrun. Ah, the good old days of local band leaderboards... :)
