We just got home from the Iron Maiden concert, and it was quite good. The Maiden lads are getting quite old, but they still rock hard. The place was packed, and even Eddie made a cameo, although I remember him being more impressive back in the day. They played plenty of tracks from the early albums, a bunch from the more recent stuff, and even the title track, El Dorado, from the upcoming album The Final Frontier, which Bruce Dickinson mentioned several times is coming out Aug. 17.
Apart from rocking out, we watched some 24 yesterday, and we're in the final hour. Excellent stuff!

Home sweet home! E3 is officially over, as we have returned from LA and can finally sleep in our own bed again!
Seems like somebody decided to not pay attention to our hold mail request since there was a bag full of stuff that arrived while we were gone. Oh well, we'll consider it a welcome home present.
Nothing planned for today but some grocery shopping, press kits, watching some DVR shows and seeing Iron Maiden! \m/
Check out the following new screens from LucasArts' E3 2010 lineup:

Yesterday was a pretty relaxing day. We wound down from the E3 craze, went out to lunch with the in-laws, watched some Netflix (Spartan and Swing Vote), caught up on a few press kits, and that was pretty much it.
Later today, we are flying back to our homestead, chitchatting with our neighbor, doing some DVR watching, and wrapping up a few more press kits.
Yesterday, the Lakers won the NBA Championship vs. the Celtics, and while it looked for the longest time that they would lose, they came out on top in the last quarter. Good thing they did because the ensuing "celebration" (*cough*riots*cough*) was only a few blocks away from our hotel. Go figure how bad it would have been if they had actually lost!
