What a gloomy day! I'm working on album design and editing weddings and I figured it was time I finish posting images from last Saturday's Guitar Hero World Tour Release Party that took place in West Hollywood. It was awesome considering one of my favorite bands was performing - Smashing Pumpkins! I was stoked! Free drinks and great tasting food was just the beginning. My buddy Jimmy Hernandez and I ran across quite a few celebrities that we didn't initially recognize. The All American Rejects were messing around with guitar hero, cast members of the new 90210 were there (which I would not recognize as I haven't seen an episode), Mark McGrath, DJ Jazzy Jeff, as well as Oscar Martinez from the Office (Oscar Nunez).
There have been a lot of reviews about the Smashing Pumpkins performance. I've been a huge fan for a very long time and was a bit disappointed that they didn't play one of their old songs. They are definitely breaking away from their old stuff but then again that may not be all bad. I think it is important that bands evolve which in turn can come at the cost of losing fan base that doesn't like change and cannot appreciate stuff created after SP's 1993 and 1995 release. Don't get me wrong, I would love to see them perform some of their old stuff, it's always nice to reconnect with emotions elicited by music you love but I'm not about to hate just because they come out with stuff that is different.
The first picture is of the entrance to the Guitar Hero World Tour Release Party. Second Image is of me enjoying the free drinks. 3rd Image is of DJ Jazzy Jeff spinning. Shortly after you will find images of Mark McGrath, Ginger Reyes, Billy Corgan and the final image is of Jimmy H. and some people we met at the venue.

This clip was something I came across on you tube.
Lastly, this is a clip from one of the local news stations that covered the event.

On a side note, I cannot belive the Presidential election is days away. Hopefully I will have a chance to post a couple movie reviews and a couple weddings between my consultations, voting and album designs! I hope everyone is having a great weekend!
