Rock Out

I am so privileged to work for a WONDERFUL company. They allow me to work 3 days a week from home and they are always doing great things for their employees. Every March we have our yearly kickoff meeting where we all gather, have dinner, discuss what happened in 2008 and what our goals are for 2009. This year, they made it so fun! They rented out a concert hall and created a "rockband" atmosphere. Between each speaker, they had different "bands" perform a song from Rockband on xbox 360. They gave out awards/cash for highest score (IT Geeks), best costume, and best performance (which is what my band was going for). We have been practicing for this for like 2 months and it was so exciting and so fun to do with the stage, spotlights, fog machine, ect.

By far, the best moment for my band was when i climbed on top of a platform and did a scissor kick/jump off in the air...of course, i was thinking "i'm gonna be so cool and really get the crowd into it". Well, my plan would have worked well had i not, mid air, pushed the button on the guitar that turns the entire thing off...that's right, the middle of the song...i climb up, get some air, and everything goes dead. Can you believe we didn't win? It's like people thought i didn't actually mean to turn it off :) Good times anyway!
