He Who Rocks and Puts Away Lives to Rock Another Day
The kiddo has had a pretty strong musical interest for a while now, but in the last week or so she’s gotten really excited by my Rock Band controllers, which have been hanging out in the corner of the family room, right where they’re easy for her to get at if she wanted to. I’m content (thrilled, in fact!) to have her noodling around with my original Rock Band 1 controller (of the woefully busted whammy bar), but I’d like to keep my pair of RB2 controllers in good shape for as long as possible.
So, off we went to Guitar Center to pick up a couple of guitar hooks to hang the controllers on the wall, safely out of reach from curious little hands.
I’m not sure if I’m more embarrassed by buying guitar hooks for my fake guitars, or by the fact that we’d worked up an elaborate tale of how I’d recently inherited a (fictional) ukulele collection (to explain my concerns about whether the hook would be narrow enough to hold the guitar head). Sadly, no questions were asked about my purchase, so we never got to try out the story.
So, here you go–photographic evidence that I am, in fact, pretty much a total dork. Enjoy.

This makes me altogether too tempted to give the kiddo a drumset for Christmas…
Ah nuts…
I was going to email and see if you wanted to play online sometime, but I can see from the picture that you’re an Xbox and I’m a PS3.
Which one of us is Jon Hodgman, again?
@Mickey: We’ve already got a Leapfrog bongo drum that she enjoys… And she likes banging on the Rock Band set too. I think she’s still a little young for a real kit though.
@pianodan: I think this makes us both Hodgman (Hodgmen?), but from opposite evil mirror universes. The real question is, who has the goatee?
