October afternoon

Two new members

Yesterday, after dim sum, Pei-Chen and Yongjin came with me to Totof's place. We were thinking to have some fun. I could not wait to show them Rock Band. The drums, the guitar, the bass, and the box. They looked like two happy kids when they saw those instruments. They could not wait trying this new game. I plugged the cables, turned on the console, turned on the projector, and turned on the amplifier. We went to Rock Band World Tour mode. I showed them about the characters. They were so excited for the character creation thing. Pei-Chen created a female PC with Rock attitude. Yongjin created a male andrew with Metal attitude. These two new characters looked cool.

We three people went to San Francisco first. We let pc take the drum lead. I played bass while Yongjin played guitar. We tried The Weezer's "Say it ain't so". I suggested pc to try medium. Our drummer just had some difficulty at the beginning. Our drummer, pc, picked up skills quickly. We passed the song. The drum got 91%. Amazing. Then, we switched to Yongjin's drummer, andrew. We tried Rolling Stones' "Gimme Shelter" per Yongjin's request. A nice song indeed. Yongjin's drummer got a nice score as well. This couple are talented at music instruments.

We continued our tour. We yelled when we earned some fans. We booed when we lost fans. Yongjin said he wanted to try the singing. He wanted to sing Radiohead's "Creep". Nice voice. I first time had a chance to look at the singing track. The singing track has lyrics. So, if you don't know the lyrics by heart, you just need to glance at the lyrics down the track and you will be fine. Yongjin has a nice voice. He got 98%. Nicer than Totof's : p

After 2 hours rock n' roll, I suggested to try an evil song. Of course, I was thinking Outlaws' Green Grass and High Tides. We had an extremely strenuous 6 min. Not 10 min? Why? You don't know? Because we did not pass it.

I was happy to have them in this band. Now, October becomes stronger.
