Setting aside for a moment that I have paid for a one week vacation to the Cancun area of Mexico on May 15th, Swine Flu should be nothing you folks need to worry about.
Yes, the World Health Organization raised its threat level on the epidemic from 3 to 4 yesterday; yes the Mexican government has closed schools nationwide for at least a week; yes recent visitors to Mexico returning to Ireland, Spain, France, Costa Rica, New Zealand, South Korea and more are all showing up with cases of this flu, and the people who have died are all generally in their 20s-30s. But there’s good news!
Since Amazon.com is not yet completely out of respirator face masks, AND you all love to play Rock Games, now is the time to turn on the old gaming console and download some Jane’s Addiction for Rock Band, and jam out in the comfort and safety of your own home.
Alternatively, rather than obsess over #swineflu tweets, keep an eye on @The Gurn Killers, featuring RockGamer.com’s very own @Smeeguel, as they work their way towards winning $10,000 in the Harrah’s Total Rock, Total Rewards Competition (#totalrock).
This past weekend, the plastic rockers advanced to the semi finals stage, besting stiff competition by some of the best known Rock Band players in the world including Azuritereaction, GurnKiller (himself!), Sophrosyne, MephistoJak and more.
And finally, if you already have mask that you bought way back when in 2003 for the SARS scare, and you ARE a risk taker in the New York City area – be sure to head on over to the Village Pourhouse for another MTV/Harmonix sponsored Almost Famous Tuesday. Check out all the latest DLC including the new Jane’s Addiction Nothing’s Shocking album.
Rock…rock… rock.. ACHOOOO,
Rock on friends.
