Day 1.064: Rock and Pi Baby!

It was Pi Day today - March 14th (3.14). I understand that they had a special assembly at school at 1.59 (3.14159). We sent Exile #3 with a copy of Kate Bush's song Pi (from the much-loved-by-us album Aerial) the lyrics in the choruses are the first hundred digits or so of the famous irrational number.

This evening, Exile #2 and I congratulated ourselves on a week over and a weekend beginning by attempting the "Endless Setlist" on Rock Band - Electric of Nouns took to the stage in glory and played the gig of their lives. The crowd loved it.

Here's the band (including my alter-ego on the left playing bass):

And here is Exile #2's drumming persona Donna:

As you can see we kept polishing the songs off with ease:
Finally it came to this:
It happened three times and on the third we decided that we needed sleep more than another attempt to attain our nearly-earned Legendary Status, so we have absolutely nothing to show for all our efforts except some aching muscles.

Oh well - said Exile #2 as we were switching off - think of it as a workout. Quite right and we needed one to make up for all the pi earlier in the day. Sorry.
