On day 2 I woke up sore, I forgot to let you all know I am pretty sure I sprained my foot. I was limping all through E3 and like a dummy I walked around on it. So day two was a late start (my nick name was gimpay) but we headed off to the convention center for our first meeting. Check out one of the displays in front of the convention center, this year truly had some creative outdoor displays and games.
Our first meeting was with Logitech and the first thing I tried was the Logitech® Wireless Guitar Controller and though I am not a Guitar Hero pro and never play the guitar I loved how this instrument played. It seemed more authentic especially since the neck is real wood. It has a wireless range of up to 30 feet and virtually silent controls, NICE!

Today MTV Games’ Harmonix Music Systems announced a partnership with Warner Bros. Records and Green Day to bring the music of Green Day, exclusively to Rock Band ®. See Press Release Here!
The first songs that you can download are a three-pack of songs of their Album; 21st Century Breakdown on July 7th including: 21 Guns, Know Your Enemy, East Jesus Nowhere. Additional Green Day songs and projects will be announced at a later date.
If it is not obvious I am the Rockbander of the cutegeek.com and I am excited about this new release of Green Day coming to Rockband. I wanted to be a rocker or punk rocker since I was a child of the 80s. Unfortunately I lack the talent to play the real drums (sad face) therefore…do-to-do-dooooo Rockband drums! Everyone saw how I killed it at E3 on the drums right? (not so much on the singing, I use to be able to no idea what happened…opps!)
So MTV and Harmonix are just going crazy on these new releases of Rockband games and everyday I hope when I open my inbox there is a new release of something fun and I get…well…gitty like I was 7 years old again…what will I get? Another Rockband alert…oh boy…oh boy!
This actually comes at the perfect time so thank you MTV/ Harmonix/ Warner Brothers and Green Day! I have a very important birthday coming up that I may repeat for several years to come and nothing makes my heart a flutter more then new Rockband songs! BTW I celebrate my b-day for a month so…July 7th isn’t too far off. THOUGH shout out to my pals at MTV/ Harmonix that if they want me to preview it, I would be the happiest birthday girl! :-) hehe

This year was my first experience actually attending E3. I had planned it for others before but never attended until now! As I walked into the LA convention center I was blown away immediately with a HUGE Pepsi Rockband stage with fellow rockbander rocking away, check out the video here! I then walked into the south hall with my cutegeek partner in crime Radiris and I was AMAZED as you can see in my video here you can listen to my excitement plus see my girl!
My first observation, this was not like CES at all. There were so many women gamers and women executives at E3; I loved it! I believe women gamers truly showed themselves at E3 especially with Rockband, Guitar Hero, Wii Fit, Dance Revolution and Disney. Of course we had some booth babes in gamer costumes; but I frankly thought they looked GREAT!

I learned the value of being in good company this week. From the moment I arrived in LA, I thought, wow – it’s been a year since I’ve been here, and things felt so different. I blame it on the humidity, but I had a great feeling about E3 from the moment I got off the plane.
A third of our group was already at the hotel, aka Mike, and Nina was joining us in the AM, so it was fun going over our schedule and wondering how it would all play out. Nina and I had never been to an E3 before so I don’t even know if our foreshadowing into the event was on the same page, but I was impressed from it all.

Original band members Sir Paul McCartney and Ringo Starr, along with Yoko Ono Lennon and Olivia Harrison, came together today to kick off the 2009 E3 Media & Business Summit with the world premiere of The Beatles: Rock Band.
Tomorrow will be a huge day for me as I will be testing out the New Beatles Rockband with my fellow cutegeeker Radiris! I hope to video tape or have our unboss video tape us testing it out! Follow my tweets and facebook as I embark on my first E3.

With Valentines day right around the corner, I decided to make a guide on what we would love to get for Valentines day. Please don’t call 1800-Flowers, or send me chocolates, and while a teddy bear would be nice, I really want technology and things to better use the technology I have. Flowers die, chocolate [...]
