Event:Guitar Hero III – December 2007

Posted on December 7th, 2007 in InfoCommons Events by Stacey Ewing

The InfoCommons @ West hosted a Guitar Hero III Event on December 6, 2007 to help students blow off a little pre-finals steam.

50-60 people showed up between Noon and 4pm to rock out with us in the InfoCommons. Not bad turnout considering we didn’t really advertise outside of a few list-serv posts and a couple of dry erase board signs. Most of our head count came from curious library folk but we had an equal number of students who were happy to take a break and have a little fun. :D

The response to the event was very positive.  We had ear plugs on hand for anyone who might want a pair but no takers. Most students studying around our area were plugged into their iPods anyway so the sound didn’t seem to bother them. We had quite a few students take breaks from studying and walk up to take a turn at the game and then go right back to studying. :D

Thanks and a big “YOU ROCK” to the following:

  • Thanks big-big to Jonathan for lending us his PS3 console and game!
  • Thanks to Laurie Taylor for buying an extra controller and bringing COOKIES!
  • Thanks to Laura Jordan for helping with plans, setup and cleanup!
  • Thanks most of all to all of our patrons and library staff supporters who came out to take a break and have a little fun!! You were the icing on the cake- helping to make this a successful event!
