Profile

Shit-talking and elaborate fingerwork are just as important as your point tallies at this weekly Guitar Hero showdown where shaggy-haired wannabes, seasoned gamers, and risk-taking drunkards alike rack up points by using a three-quarter-size plastic replica of a Gibson SG to shred through the "hard level" versions of “Sweet Cherry Pie” or “War Pigs.” To help things along, hosts hand out platinum-blond wigs and reward winners with drink tickets. Best of all, there’s a full-length mirror along the left-hand wall, so you can glimpses yourself in all your glory, regardless of whether the crowd cheers or heckles. Who care what they think? The floor-to-ceiling screen projection of this popular PlayStation2 game will have you feeling bigger than life.

Just called Pianos to confirm that the Guitar Hero Party is on for tonight and they informed me it no longer exists! Argh.
