Guitar Hero 2 Contest


Original Post


I wrote some long ass blog about the event last week but I don’t think anyone will want to read it.

Here’s the short and skinny:

  • Got to NYC at 9:30ish
  • Had breakfast with Major Nelson. I had a waffle with fresh fruit. Major had an omelet.
  • Go to Virgin Megastore at 10am
  • Take a bunch of photos of the store
  • See kids already lined up at the front of the stage
  • Say hi to all the PR folks
  • Get my all access pass
  • Wait…

  • Contest starts
  • Brad Blanks – a DJ from WPLJ introduces the contestants
  • Daniel Serna, Kelly Law-Yone, J.W. McNay, Matt Nowak, Felicia Williams
  • I find community members Feelz Good and Thrills Killa
  • Laugh with security guard, Carlos, about the groupie on the other side of the stage
  • All the contestants rock on their guitars
  • J.W. wins
  • Gene Simmons comes down the escalator with large security guys in front and behind him.
  • Gene gets on stage and presents J.W. with his prize – a limited edition GH2 controller
  • They play Strutter – gene on his bass, J.W. playing GH2
  • Gene plays an encore with Kelly and Felicia
  • Tongues fly
  • Backstage, lots of interviews – Gene gets annoyed because people are whispering
  • He starts talking about how women should be looked after because we smell nice in all our crevices
  • Mentions something about wearing eyeliner inside our eyes. I tell him I don’t stick things in my eyeball. He comes over and pulls back my eyelid to see. We continue to argue the point.
  • More photos and interviews
  • Major is up. Does a great interview. Gene is a total perv but hilarious. Does a 2 minute tongue action take that was up on xbox.com for all of about 30 minutes before being pulled. I am trying not to laugh in the background.
  • Gene asks what’s in my pocket. I say, “Wouldn’t you like to know.” He tells me, “Oh no, little girl,” and sticks his hand in there to see what it was. (my wallet)
  • I take lots of pics of the PR folks with Gene
  • Major takes pics of me with Gene
  • Gene barks in my ear
  • Everyone leaves
  • I go back to the Marriott and write a short summary of the event for Xbox.com
  • Went home

YAY done!
