I'm Paula Abdul, Bitch!

Last night, I played "Local Celebrity" Judge at a battle of the bands.

I haven't been here a year, and already i've reached celebrity status?
Looks like it's time to move!

The Hard Rock Cafe in Denver is holding a Warped Tour Battle of the Bands every Wednesday in June.

The skinny?
Three bands compete each Wednesday (the 8th, 15th, 22nd and 29th) for one of four slots in the BOTB finals (held on July 6). Judges rate five things at the show: Performance, Song Writing, Appearance, Proffessionalism and Promotions, and the band with the most points moves on.

Last Night?

Eulogy for an Angel

When i arrived around 8:30, i was directed to a black table with three clipboards, a hard rock pint glass and posh set-up Along with the boys from The Oriental Theater - we had a regular American Idol set-up.

It was sort of a long night, but a lot of fun.
Oddly enough, when the time came to tally the ballots, we had a tie between two of the bands (bummer for the second) as we had to pick just one.

So Spot #1 goes to Leer43.

I'm not sure who else is in the line-up, but i'll let you know. I'm judging again on the 22nd (I think Red Line Defiance may be on the bill. You should go --- $8 for three bands (45 minute set each) --- trying their best to get the grand prize.

Which i didn't mention --- is an opening slot IN the Warped Tour. Pretty awesome opportunity.

So yeah...
Because of said event, i'm pretty tired today. i didn't get home til 1, and that's no big deal, but *yawn* i'm tired...
