Have you played The Beatles Rock Band video game yet?

I have!

The line up to give it a try was pretty long if you wanted to play the drums or one of the guitars. But all I wanted was to sing so I got right up.

The game is really cool. The features seem more advanced than in other similar games, and the software picks up your singing a lot better than in Singstar where you get more points if you just hum it.

I did not do as well as I would have thought at Beatles Trivial Pursuit.

I met tons of cool people at this thing and since everyone’s got The Beatles in common, everyone is friends. It’s even more pronounced than at a comic book event because there, everyone likes all different characters, all different artists, and all different types of comics. Here, everyone loves The Beatles and that’s the beginning and the end of it.

    Who is that sexy, sexy girl in the Yellow Submarine hoodie posing for a picture with you? Not the person writing this comment, surely!
    It was a great Fest. Glad that you had fun :)

    She was this crazy rock & roll babe with a name no one could say. I think she had a big crush on me or one of my tablemates because she came and hung out at our table, like, all weekend. It's cool though, cuz she was pretty and she was fun. I hope we get to hang out more next year, whoever she is.

    Sounds to me like she's definitely crushing on you. You're coming back next year? Sweet!

    why not Beatle “Trivia Pursuit”, sounds like a no brainer to me?

    You think? I'm so nervous!!!

    Because the questions, when they're not stuff like “What is the title of the Beatles' first movie?” is stuff like “At what temperature was John Lennon's fish served when he ordered the trout on the third night of the Beatles' 1965 US tour?” Crazy, super specific and out there shit.
