If I hadn't been there, I think this entire post would be incomprehensible :-)

Rock on, Brent! But can you play guitar hero?!

brent said...

ah.

once I had a shot on guitar hero and it was awful. It was really embarrassing.

I went straight out the car where I had an actual guitar in the boot and played the songs for real just to assuage my ego.

I was there, and it was fucking awesome! And the way you handled that broken string... totally professional! :-D
