This weekend was pretty quiet. The boys were away so it was just us and the baby. I washed the cars (threw out my back), fertilized the lawn, watched a few movies. Man I must be getting old. Chores, lawn and movie rentals on a Saturday? Well to compensate we did a little ritual we do about once a month. We invited my brother in law, his girlfriend and another friend over for some good old family fun, Rock Band.

If you don’t know what Rock Band is, you are missing the biggest video game craze to come around in a long time. It involves a Playstation3(or XBOX 360), an electronic drum set, 2 guitar controllers, a microphone, some beer, 4+ people  and hours of time to kill. You basically do karaoke plus play guitar and drums to new and old rock tunes on the big screen. It is hours of fun, embarrassing as hell and makes you feel like a wanabee rock star.  If you ever meet anyone who has it or get the chance to play it, do not pass it up. You will be hooked and submit to your inner rock geek.
