Guitar Hero World Tour was released today! J and I managed to grab the last GHWT kit from our local Target and rocked out all night.

It was fantastic. I then thought, "This is awesome - how come no one sells beer popsicles?" Then, geniunely excited that I had thought up a million-dollar idea, I hit the...
