Challenge Ann #4: Getting free drinks
If this works I will be a) surprised b) delighted.
Dear People Who Work At Harmonix,
Hello! How are you?
My name is Ann and I do a radio show/podcast about videogames. Good, right? So that’s me. And then there’s you. You make Rock Band. Rock band is a game about making and sharing amazing times. I lo-ove amazing times.
So, I read in the ‘gaming news’ that you’ve all been paid quite a lot in bonuses because Rock Band’s done quite well. Well done you! Very much deserved, I’m sure.
Combining the above two points, why don’t you make and share in our amazing One Life Left Christmas party time by sponsoring the bar!
The party’s this Saturday (29th Nov) starting at 2pm going on late late. It’s at the Blue Posts on Rupert Street, London. There will be radio, industry celebrites, games and drinking.
Please feel free to drop by at any time to make your donation.
Alternatively, if you don’t want to share your millions, we are offering you an open invitation to come down to the party and arm wrestle Simon Byron (the one who does the PR for Guitar Hero, and conveniently also presents the show along with Ste Curran – he makes games) to settle the Rock Band vs Guitar Hero debate. He is deadly serious about this. I would advise you not to pussy out.
Either way, it’d be nice to see some of you there.
Hope you’re well! (of course you are, you’re rich)
Love,
Ann
Fingers crossed and wallets at the ready everyone.

Wow, I admire your bare-faced cheek and hope it pays off. If not I’ll buy you all a drink when I see your bare-cheeked faces on Saturday!

Seriously, the bit about Guitar Hero vs Rockband might actuallly seal the deal. Good work!
