dance dance revolution

So Airiel played in Schaumburg at Gameworks on Friday. We were the only band which was kind of weird. Also, we didn't get to play any games, which I was a bit disappointed about, but at least the fish and chips weren't bad. One guy who looked like he was on the Sopranos really dug it and watched Jeremy play when he stepped off stage and stood next to the guy. He was really getting into it. One couple requested "In Your Room" which was super cool and we did 2 sets. The video was cool for the first set, but I wasn't feeling it for the second. The screen fell a couple of times due to the tape and the surface of the wall and pillar but who cares. It was an arcade on a Friday night in the burbs. Luckily one guy who worked there was super helpful and helped nail and tape the screen after it fell for me while the band played. Nobody does that at regular venues. Most of all, we had fun and rocked out. People liked it, especially Cory's co-workers who were really cool. Here's a few pictures. I wish I took more but you know how it goes:
