ROCK BAND!!!

So, I've been meaning to post these pics since we got back from Arizona. On our way home from Prescott, we got to spend some time with "the guys" -- aka Craig's old roommates from his college days at Rick's. These guys are a RIOT when you get them all in the same room (and their wives all happen to be SUPER cool too so I love hanging out with them). :) Anyway, we don't get to see them much since we live in Philly, so the Rizley's were good to have a little get-together with everyone at their house.

As you might have guessed from the title of my post... after a little catching up, someone busted out the video game Rock Band. For those of you less cool people (like me) who had never experienced this before, this is a game that involves two guitars, a microphone, a drum set and un-musically-gifted people attempting to play an instrument, keep a tempo and sing on key. Yeah, it can get ugly. Don't let that scare you off though - the game is pretty fun.

The boys ended up challenging the girls to a duel and, naturally, ...the girls kicked their booties. Ok, not really, but we tried!


Andy, Andrew (code name: "Buzz"), Craig, Haze and Mable
The twins, Tommy and Colin, are in front


The girls kickin' bootie: Beth, Heidi, Nat and me

The drums were my favorite and everyone was nice and let me hog them. Way too much fun. Thanks so much for hanging out! We love you guys!!!

Hey Christina! Discovered your blog by following a few links. :)

Rock band is the greatest! :) I also hog the drums, although my performance is usually terrible. Looks like a fun trip!
