YouTube user ewingsquadron put together a really cool overview of our Rock Band party at Phoenix Comicon:

And here I am doing Eye of the Tiger:

And here’s We Got The Beat, which was crazy fun and much more tiring on drums than I was expecting. It does have a drum solo, though, which is pretty awesome. The lighting isn’t great, but I think you can get a sense of how much fun we were all having, which is all that matters:

If you have a video of your own, feel free to link it in the comments here, and I’ll do a link roundup at the end of the week.

    No Beatles or Hall & Oates songs on Rock Band, hence the the name ‘ROCK’ band.

    Way to rock/geek out, especially with the mic-meet-ass-make-friends bit in Eye Of The Tiger. You need frickin’ laser beams and a smoke machine. *nods*
    Any chance of a Canadian con appearance, and thus a Canuck version of the Wil Wheaton Rock Band Party? Token female bass player hopes “yes”. =D

    You can see me at the end of the first video, now I regret not rocking out more!
    I got a the beginning of Eye of the Tiger on Flickr: http://www.flickr.com/photos/chris_wass/3223533181/in/set-72157612953173564/
    I also got a funny snippet from the panel on Saturday of Marina asking Brent to “do the thing from Night Court”, but Wil is just hanging out in that one: http://www.flickr.com/photos/chris_wass/3224407284/in/set-72157612953173564/
