It's just rock'n'roll

Tonight I was forced to ditch the real experience of playing Rock Band for the passivity of watching one. Oasis played the Oakland Colosseum and, despite misgivings, they were very good...when they played their old songs.

The best bit was our executive box. I found tickets being sold online for less than the cheapest seats - I guess the company that owns the box is more interested in basketball than British bands. Anyway, having found our nicely padded chairs Akhil noticed that a box down from us was empty. As soon as the lights went down we left the gathered strangers who had obviously got the same deal as us and snuck into our own, empty, exclusive hideaway. The fridge was even stocked with water and ice! Now that's rock'n'roll.



Here come the rock stars!



That's Liam Gallagher down there. Look closely.



The best bit of an executive box: your own private bathroom!
