So I know for a fact that at least the Commodore and I have woken up a few times this past week thinking we were in the middle of the marathon still, scaring whoever else we happen to be sleeping with at the time.  Our mental health is now a shambles because of this marathon, but it was totally worth it.  Because of you guys, we earned over $2,000 for Child's Play, which is a feat I honestly didn't expect to meet considering we're just 6 guys with an Xbox and a dream.  And the experience itself was the most fun we've had in a long time.  It was especially great to meet so many interesting people in the chat.  We all hope to keep in contact as days go by (insert Family Matters reference here).

After talking things over with Boomer and the Commodore, a 2nd annual Rock Band-a-thon certainly seems like it's on the horizon.  The great thing is that we've learned so much from this first go around that the next rendition should have a lot of improvements.  For example:

And that's just some of the ideas.  But rest assured we're already on it, and when we have everything set up, we'll be letting you know when the next marathon will be.  So, in closing out this year's marathon activity, I'd like to again thank everyone who made this possible.  We really couldn't have gotten this far without everyone's help.

In the meantime, we have a few special vlogs coming out before the new year.  Not to mention at least a couple more 16-Bit Gems, Echo Screens, and - dare I say it - the return of Boomer's House Rules?  We'll see you out there.
