"I'm a tattooer by trade, nearly eighteen years in the business. I currently work at the Baltimore Tattoo Museum. I've produced art in many mediums since I was kid. Currently I have been making surfboards. The latest is a solid wood recreation of an ancient Hawaiian surfboard called an Alaia. I also recently had a show at Lo-Fi social club consisting of a series of drawings done left handed nineteen years ago after breaking my right arm (I'm right handed)."

Rock Band Competition FAQ

rockbandcompetition, originally uploaded by sugarfreak.

We've been asked many questions about how this competition will go. So here are some clarifications:

1. It's $5 for your band to play per song. It's all for our charity - Moveable Feast.

2. One person bands are allowed. But you must play at least 2 instruments. I mean, come on.

3. Sign up will only take place that night. So the earlier you get there the better. It starts at 7pm.

4. You can play in more than one band.

5. You can play the songs on any level you choose.

6. DLC songs will be available for play as well as the standards.

7. Songs will be chosen AT RANDOM for your band to play. But don't worry, songs that are too short or too long have been taken out of the pool in order to keep the score potential fairly even.

8. The winning band is determined by the highest band score.


Any more questions?

ETA: Yes, you can bring your own guitar.
