Games / Music Ground Kontrol's Rock Band 2 Launch Party (for Charity!)
Posted by Earnest "Nex" Cavalli on Fri, Sep 12, 2008 at 6:33 PM
Update: Details have changed! Most crucially the admittance fees have dropped to $3 per person for the daytime event and $3 for entry, $1 to play for the late night event. Have a look at the updated press release if you need more comprehensive info.
Let's face it: You're a godless heathen. Instead of skipping church this weekend to nurse a hangover, why not do something to boost your karma a bit?
This Sunday Ground Kontrol is holding a massive launch event for Rock Band 2. Cover charge for the event ranges from $3-$5 (depending on how involved you intend to be) and all proceeds go to benefit the Ethos Music Center and the Rock And Roll Camp for Girls.
Hit the jump for full details in press release form.
