Guitar Hero III just came out.  In a move to possibly steal some thunder from the competitor Rock Band just released their set list.  I noticed that more than a few of the songs have already been done by Guitar Hero franchise.  I am still undecided if I am going to get this or not.  I have a Wii but I am still unclear if it is going to be available for the Wii or not.  It is reportedly coming out for the PS2 which I also have but it will be a scaled down version.  I think it will be fun to play but I am not going to buy a new console for one game.

As the story goes Emma Crawford was buried at the top of a mountain.  It rained and her remains were washed down the side of the mountain.  To commemorate this the town of Manitou Springs, CO holds an annual coffin race.  I love this idea.  Build a coffin.  Put it on wheels.  Race it.  I want to build an old toe pincher and race it. I missed the event this year and I don’t think I will make to to Colorado for the event next year. Maybe I can start a local chapter here.
