Music, gifts, and the virtual beer was flowing, eh!
What an event that was!
The first event filled both sims, Max was rocking from the start, Mimi fueled the fire, we worried about getting Norris in to the venue! Montrealer Moody showed off his amazing guitar skill, Forsythe his inimitable blues style, then Chronic flitted in and wowed us with his amazing voice, expert guitar and mastery of some of the niftiest electronic toys that enable him to harmonize with himself - Snow continued with his fabulous rockin' beats and yet more gifts (check out that great guitar!) - and then Hathead tickled the keys and our senses, - wow can that man play! Dale shifted the mood and had us all swooning - and finally, Nance heated things up and managed to make the Nitida granite vibrate!
I didn't get nearly enough photos - here are a few:
