I now leave the show in the hands of Billy, who is clearly more capable than me right now.

I’m so tired…

Loaded for CAX!

Normally I would just be taking the TV’s projector screen and my rock band gear but this year I’m bringing the audio as well. Tonight’s loadin will be a long one.

Since CAX has been moved to August that leaves my annual birthday weekend open.

Aiming to have an RB night either in downtown San Jose or Campbell depending on which venue I can get.

Will keep you posted.

Hello all,

Just wanted to post an update with what’s going on this month. As you know I’ve been invited to set up Rock Band at CAX again this year, July 30 and 31st. This year’s CAX will be at the Santa Clara Convention Center and Rock Band will be at the main stage in the 2nd floor of the Hyatt Regency Santa Clara inside of the Santa Clara Ballroom. It will be non-competivie free play from 11 to 5 (despite what the flyer says) on Saturday the 30th and Sunday the 31st will be 11 to 6. You do not need a CAX convention badge to play.

Since the stage is in the hotel we will follow their protocols and currently masks are recommended but not required. The same will have to go for Rock Band. I will provide gloves, masks and hand sanitizer for those who want to use them and I will disinfect instruments after each turn on stage. However the wireless mics will be limited to two on stage, to limit the amount of people on stage. Also I have moved from songbook printouts to an online resource to search for songs, which can be accessed at https://tiny.one/loxrb . The songbook and spotify playlist - https://open.spotify.com/playlist/5c6nttu5u7NdzFhE6wXayz?si=-ExgOG9fTTSb6IdU7NStXw -have been updated on 7/15 and I will do another update the day of the event.

Feel free to contact me if you have any questions, I’ll do what I can to help you out. Hope to see you all again soon, take care.

Had the terrible idea of replacing the wireless Beatles drums with the ions I don’t use for events.

Somebody talk me out of this

Coming back for more Rock Band at CAX

Details to come

Arcades were once a fixture on the American urban landscape, and games were plentiful in rural cities too. The closest heir of today is the so-called "Family Entertainment Center", which is populated with a myriad of devices designed only to take your coins quickly and leave you with a pile of ticke...

Here’s the volunteer sheet for this year’s CAX. I would like some help getting people signed up and the game started. All the audio and video should work by itself so it should be nothing to worry about. My main focus will be getting instruments wiped down and ready for the next person to come up.

Note that this is not a CAX volunteer sheet, just for rock band. If you sign up for four hours or more, you will get a day pass to CAX. Any questions let me know.

So sometime last year, the RBDB online database somehow stopped updating and died, making it harder for me to get the info I need to add all the new songs to the songbook 😞
