We spent Sunday spring cleaning our apartment and deciding to get rid of a lot of stuff!
rockband
...Rockband?
rockband
...then began the cooperative drum-set assembly process. Let's hear it for teamwork! (We ended up playing A LOT of Rock Band that night).

Back at the apartment, we dragged out all the gear so that we could play the new game (Rock Band 3) that Brett had just given me! It turns my drum set was broken...
rockband
Feeling it.

Speaking of virginity, then we all played Rockband.

Meredith took this awesome picture of me playing Rock Band by myself on Saturday afternoon. Haha. Hey loser, why so serious?
rockband
Dork bass.
rockband
...playing video games together until the wee hours of the morning.
rockband
Haha.
rockband
More Rockband! Happy Wholesome Bachelorette Party!

Meanwhile, back in the living room, Meredith had broken out Rock Band!
rockband
...AND some Rockband.

Instead of forcing Fatty to go to a noody bar in Queens, around 1am we all headed to our apartment and played Rockband. Haha.
rockband
It's a four-player game and we had five people so whoever wasn't playing was in charge of petting Maddy.
rockband
Later that night I went over to Leigh's place and we played Rockband with Ryan and Justin.

On Thursday night I went over to Casa Lezark for some pre-gaming and some Rockband! (Leigh, ax; Me, skins).
rockband
Scott and Erika came in from Jersey for the night! Here's Pauly, Scott and Lisa playing Rock Band.

Then a couple songs later, Meredith, KT and Siege joined the party and we all nerded out together. Just cuz you're getting married doesn't mean you gotta grow up or anything! Thanks to everyone for keeping the surprise a secret and for coming out to help me surprise Meredith! It meant so much to have so many people we love be there to share that huge moment in our lives!
rockband
Hahaha. Killing it. I love this pic.
rockband
Straight down to business!
rockband
Saturday morning Meredith (who'd stayed in the previous night) woke up to a trashed living room.
rockband
Most people took off around 1:30, but Gurj stuck around for a while with me and we played Rock Band together.

By the last day of December I was finally feeling better. Spent most of the day learning to play Rockband drums and getting ready for a chill NYE party at Siege and KT's
rockband
Guitar assemblage.
rockband
Unpacking the box!
rockband
When my brother was in town, we went to the store and he bought it the day it came out! So it was something we knew we both wanted. Score!
rockband
...ROCKBAND!
rockband
Oh, what? You didn't think that we'd actually leave Rockband in New York, did you? Look at the guitar neck sticking out of the box! Haha. The guitar came in pieces and needed to be snapped together. But once snapped, you can't take it apart again so this was Brett's solution to "making it fit in the box again." (I love the proud expression on his face.)
rockband
Featuring: Pantless Bert on the skins!
rockband
And in no time flat the two soon-to-be-Battjer-ladies came out into the living room to see what all the commotion was about - and ended up being in our first band.
rockband
But it was totally worth it to see the look on my brother's face when he got the drums set up for the first time. Pure video game joy!
rockband
Fifty-seven minutes after our departure, we were back at the apartment and tearing right into that mother.
rockband
...meaningful-video-game-release-date! In this case, ladies and gentleman, the game in question was ROCKBAND! My brother and I are huge Guitar Hero fans and we'd been waiting on it for months!
