Cannon spike!

Steve and I have been running Rock Band Nights at Red, a local hookah lounge, and it's been going increasingly well each week. If you live in Vegas, I urge you to come down and check it out. Every Thursday night, from 7pm until 2am. Except this Thursday.

This Thursday, we'll be in Los Angeles for the Street Fighter IV launch party. My good friend and colleague J-Rubes tells me we're "rolling VIP" once we get there. I'm not sure what that means, but the man has never led me astray.

The ever-awesome Alex Verrey from Mad Catz hooked it up with a SFIV FightPad (the cool six-button pad like the old Genesis controllers), but it seems that there was a mix-up in the shipping and I received the 360 version of the controller. I plan on picking up the PS3 version of the game. I haven't decided how to deal with that situation yet.

I'm very excited for the trip on Thursday. I haven't driven to LA since E3 2007 (sucked). I'll be there at least twice this year, though, and it's going to be great. I miss that city.

We'll be hitting up Arcade Infinity on Friday, and we intend to take video of one (or both) of us playing Pop N Music with our face(s). If it's not horrible, I'll upload it when I return.

If you're reading this (unlikely) and you're going to be in LA on Thursday or Friday, get in touch with me. You're welcome to join for some Bemani-related shenanigans.
