Rock n roll playroom. It looks like it would be so much fun to play guitar hero there!

Speaking from experience, it IS so much fun! Pretty much the best Guitar Hero setting I've ever played in.

Comeon! The Z's home theater is the best by far! Rolling car seats!! Drive in speakers?? Really!

True, the Zaharkos' drive-in home theater does look pretty cool, but I guess I can't speak from the same first-hand experience, since I haven't actually been invited to watch a movie there yet. *cough cough*

Although the Bat Cave is cool and all, I would love that Rock and Roll stage in my apartment. I've knocked over my PS2 on more than one occasion while getting way too into "Laid to Rest" by Lamb of God on Guitar Hero 2.

Aside, I once had a picnic of hamburgers (pre-vegetarian, clearly) with the singer of Lamb of God in the grass outside the Paul Tsongas Arena in Lowell, MA. Later that night, a ton of us had an after-party as a small bar in the area that was supposedly haunted by the ghost of Jack Kerouac. Awesome.

Wow, that is pretty awesome, Kerouacian!

I haven't been able to beat "Laid to Rest" on Hard yet, myself.

I Like the Rock N Roll room and the Bat Cave - Although I may get a little claustrophbic in there - it is a great idea! Totally do that going into a bigger room...

Btw - Quick question about the websites that were made for the families - I am in need of a website upgrade and wanted to know if Lloyd put those together or if he went though a service - if so which one? My website totally needs a 2.0 upgrade ;) considering it was made in frames and that is like the Windows 98 of websites... Takes FORever to edit and update it.

Many places out there are really expensive. And I just want a design so I can maintain it.

Hi Michele!
The team and I put together the website using various tools that I am used to using, and felt would be the easiest to learn. I am a firm believer that you should NOT reinvent the wheel, but there is nothing wrong with making the wheel work as efficiently as possible.

I would love to help you with your web design. There are so many great free tools out there that will make updating your site a breeze; the only cost you should really pay for is the design. I would love to chat with you about getting your site to the 2.0 level, (and keeping the cost down...way down). Shoot me an email at therealtechguru@gmail.com.

BTW - Do you still have any of those holiday cookies?? I forgot you were making those... :D

That would be awesome Lloyd! Any help to be in the 2.0 realm of the web would be sincerely appreciated! I will contact you fairly soon - just moved into my new place and got back online this weekend.

As for the cookies - unfortunately during my Move my Step-sister who helped out greatly - uh - took them all! ;) but I could always make more -have to get back into using an electric stove for little bit. Chocolate Chips are the easiest to make.

Perhaps I'll make cookies and invite your help and bring Brian over and see if Yue is available (I Live 5 minutes no 6 minutes from the new Outlet strip mall)... ;) Be a 2.home reunion dinner or something.. ;) well I could make something other than cookies.. :)

btw Brian LOVED his gift I got him for Christmas... Not sure if he's talked to you yet... Just ask him about the "model car"... ;)

i like the batcave.

and cookies. :D

I'd love to have the dance room and gym. It would be great for yoga and parties!

I vote for the massage chair that one Mom got. Now that's technology that I would use every day!
