Ok, the band wasn't the worst ever, but their lead singer was. Think Geddy Lee from Rush screeching Fly by Night to Twisted Sister's I wanna Rock. Seriously, it sucked. They played for almost an hour before NIN came on ( Read more... )

I succumbed to peer pressure. After playing at Trill's house, I discovered I greatly desired a wii. I managed about two months before convincing the hubby he should get me one for my bday.
