Finally Friday

It's been another long, busy week at work. The week, though, had a great ending. From Wednesday to today we had some people from our New York office come out to Boulder for a visit. There were a lot of meetings and some nice lunches, but there were also parties. We wanted to do something at night and we could have done a typical happy hour at a restaurant somewhere. But the Happy Hour Committee came up with a better plan. Actually one of the guys came up with the plan and we all readily agreed. We decided to have happy hour in the office, and by itself something like that probably doesn't sound like much fun because we spend all day at work. But our great idea was to order a bunch of pizza, buy a bunch of beer and wine, and set up a cool Wii player in the conference room. Our conference room has a projector, so all we had to do was hook up the Wii to the projector and we could project the games on the wall as if it were a big screen. We played Guitar Hero all night. On Guitar Hero you and a partner each play little guitars that are the controls for the game. One person plays the guitar and the other plays the bass. When you watch the screen it tells you what notes or chords to hit. The faster the song or the higher the difficulty level, the faster the notes and chords come. When you do well, there is a lot of fire flaring up and there are lightning bolts. But if you do really badly and miss your notes, your team gets booed off the stage. Of all the times I played last night, I was only booed off once. I also learned that I'm much better at the bass than the guitar. We really had a blast last night, and we were still playing at the office until about 10:00 p.m.

Here is the song that I was rockin' out to for most of the night. I've never heard this song until I played it for the game, but I love it. The song is called "Mauvais Garcon" and it is by NAAST. It was such a fun song to play along with. Just imagine me on bass. :-)
