So, it's getting late in Times Square. And, let's face it, late just equals weird. Here is what's been going on in our neck of the woods.
This is Spike realizing he is locked out of the store, he just wants to play more Rock Band!
Jimmy T's talent manager checking in to make sure they approve of the video she wants to post. Jameson looks like he might not like it.
Mitch decided he wanted to play behind the clock, we're not sure why, but, he did it.
Here is a close up, yea, what is he doing?

I’ve been playing Rock Band since RB1 and been playing with Jimmy T since last year. I’ve played Rock Band with Spike for longer, he is my BFF. I’m in a real band with these guys and play the bass guitar, guitar and drums, I’ve even played didgeridoo. “This is my first trip to New York and first time on an airplane. New York has broken all of the stereotypes that I’ve heard, everyone has been so great, and tons have people have come out to support us at the event. If I had the chance I would totally live here.”
Most memorable moment during the 20 hours so far – I’ve loved playing the wooden fender, it’s amazing
Best thing about Rock Band: I like it because it can always be a challenge, since there is so much new music that comes out all the time you can consistently have something new to learn in the game.

Name: Jameson Paauwe - Front Man
Age/Hometown: 22, Grand Rapids Michigan
College/Major: Grand Valley University, Advertising and PR

I’ve been playing Rock Band since RB1 came out and playing with Jimmy Twinkle and the Bad since the beginning of this year. I also play in a real band with these guys plus two other of our friends, we’re called Trampoline Stampede. I sing, play saxophone and the keyboard. “This trip has been amazing; we’re really being treated by rock stars. Playing this 20 set is the most exciting I’ve done in a long time”
Most memorable moment during the 20 hours so far – At hour 15 we ran out into the rain and when we came back in I almost fell. Check out the video, its comedy.
Best thing about Rock Band: It’s great because you can discover new artists, like, I had never heard of Coheed and Cambria before playing them in Rock Band. Now they are one of my favorite artists.
