Last night we went t a friend’s house to play Rock Band. It was my first time playing. We started the evening off with some good pizza from a local pizza joint. The three of us started playing Rock Band around 8:30 PM. When we finally decided to call it quits, it was nearly 1:30 AM!…

A big HAPPY BIRTHDAY goes out to Andy today! Hope you have a great day, buddy!
