Rock Band 2 Battle of the Bands Highlights!

Meta Cafe is next Friday, and in case you missed it, here are the highlights from the finals of last month’s Rock Band 2 competition.

In the end, the Plaid Waffles took home the gold, earning themselves a $60 gift certificate to the Olive Garden and bragging rights until the next time we have a battle of the bands. It was an awesome time last month, and everyone had a lot of fun.

Hope you’ll be out next Friday night at Meta Cafe–we’ll have Rock Band 2 set up, as well as variety of other things to do–there will be video games, board games, volley ball, freewi-fi , and our cafe will be stocked with plenty of goodies and beverages for you to purchase. We’ll be open from 8-midnight, so please invite a friend and we’ll see you there!

 

Blog Highlight Event

Welcome!  We’re running a special live blogging event tonight at Meta Cafe, and you have a chance to win a great bag of goodies including one of two iTunes gift cards we’re giving away if you participate. 

We’ve taken a look around at some of the blogs on our blog roll and highlighted three entries for you to read (remember, if you’d like your blog on Meta Cafe’s blogroll, simply email blusky@grace-erie.org with your name and url).  All you have to do is read the posts and vote on your favorite!  On the table in front of you is a card.  Fill out your name, your email, and the blog post that you found the most interesting, and place it in the basket marked “Blog Highlight Event”. 

At the end of Meta Cafe, we’ll count up the votes and then randomly select a winner from among those who voted for the most popular blog.  So get reading, and then cast your vote!

Our three blog posts for this month are as follows:

1. The Weekend Gamer–Brian highlights why exactly it is that he plays games, and asks the question, why do you play video games?
2. Losing My Religion–Jason talks him and his wife becoming pregnant with their fourth child, and having faith in God through their experience.
3. Danielle’s Xanga–Danielle shares about life in a cubicle, and gives some helpful tips she found about how to deal with being “a cubey”.

 

Blog Scavenger Hunt

Just in case you still think there’s nothing to do at Meta Cafe (and if that’s what you’re really thinking…um…have you looked around? ), we’ve put together a little live blogging event for you to sink your teeth in.  It’s our blog scavenger hunt, and it may end up winning you some cool stuff, including a 25$ iTunes gift card!

Here’s what you need to do.  We’ll ask you five questions below–the answers to said questions can be found by looking on the blogs in the Meta Cafe Blogroll.  All the posts from which the answers come have been posted sometime between November 1st and today, so you won’t have to search too far back. 

In front of you on the tables you’ll find cards with room for the answers to the five questions.  Write in your solutions as well as your name and email, and then drop it into the basket that’s marked “Blog Scavenger Hunt” in the cafe.  At 11 p.m., we’ll randomly select a winner out of all the entries we receive that have all five questions answered correctly.

That person will receive a gift bag including an iTunes gift card.  Here are the questions:

1. Grace Pastors–which baseball great did Mike identify with as he oversaw Grace’s Thanksgiving outreach to feed 700 families in the Erie community?
2. Jushaf2fly’s Xanga–what do big fluffy snowflakes make Dave want to do?
3. the Pure Interest–on the traditional road trip to Maryland, what does Brian always ask for when they pull into a gas station?
4. the Weekend Gamer–What song is Brian stuck on in Rock Band?
5. Aaron Lundberg’s Xanga–of his almost 30 years on this earth, how many of them has Aaron spent attending Grace Church?

Remember, get those answers in before 11 p.m., when we’ll draw out one winner from all eligible entries!
