I just got off the phone with the drummer from my last band, who let me know he's going to Cleveland for the second time for the Fortune Mag. "Battle of the Corporate Bands" finals at the RnR Hall of Fame.

Battle of the Corporate Bands

They placed 3rd last year, behind the eBay band and another one, but it looked to be a whole lot of fun - the video is freakin' hysterical. The scary thing is that there are some REALLY REALLY good bands in this competition.

Nextel flew them out on the President's jet and built and stocked a band practice room in their Reston, VA campus too, so I guess they're taking it a bit seriously. Definitely gives "Corporate Rock" a new twist.

At any rate, I may get to ride shotgun with him this year, since his wife has something else pending, but if any HFC'ers will be around that weekend, I'll be calling...

That would kick all kinds of A$$.

E-mails are flying back and forth as we speak.

Keep your fingers crossed for a HAMER sighting at the 2006 battle!

If you do it right, nobody will be looking at the Hamer. Is Hef hiring?

Hey Not Steve ... any idea if the finalists and/or winners make it by doing originals or covers? I'm guessing the latter.

It figures. October 7-9 I will be in Evanston at a parent's weekend thing at Northwestern. If you get here before Friday, please give me a call!

It's been a mixed bag. Most all of the bands did covers (and how many did "Mustang Sally", you may ask?), but my friend's band did 3 originals, including one written specifically for the company/competition. I think that got 'em extra points.

I should be around that weekend drop me a line.
