If you’re around New York City next Wednesday, April 11, stop by Virgin Megastore in Times Square. Microsoft is hosting a Guitar Hero II competition, where five lucky contestants will be able to battle it out to get to play “Strutter” with one and only Gene Simmons of KISS. Don’t go jumping around just yet, the contestants have already been selected.

The event runs from 12:30-2:30pm EST. I’ll be there with bells on (not really you freaks). I’ll make sure to take lots of pictures to show everyone. If anyone in the area will be going, leave some comments.

Expect Gene Simmons to market the hell out of himself at every turn, cause that’s how he rolls.
