"Hot girls and plenty of brew"
Posted by Kotaku US Edition at 8:00 AM on March 2, 2008
As long-time listener, first-time caller Jonathan McNamara writes of the happenings in Scottsdale, Arizona, "A club called Axis Radius held a Rock Band competition last night featuring 'hot girls and plenty of brew'." Hot girls and plenty of brew? You had me at hot girls.
The Phoenix Times has a pretty detailed gallery up on their site, yes that picture comes from it. I do believe this calls for a look-see.

I played Rock Band with moderate looking girls (me) and plenty of Guinness and Sam Adams.
Where's my story. :D

Axis radius is not exactly a beer drinking spot, unless you consider Bud Light a beer. This is dance club in AZ the title should read "Rock band and plenty of red bull/vodkas". It's normal music usually isn't of the rock band nature either. Mostly house, and techno.
I would love for something like this to happen at say the papago brewery in south Scottsdale where their motto is no crap on tap :)

@big_world: And exactly because the internet is rarely a serious place, I doubt people are going to pay much attention and seriousness to what you have to say. Either they will join in the arguement for the sake of voicing their opinions, or ignore you altogether and move on.

Just what this world needs. More hyper active girls brandishing their assets. Lets stick some juicy wear on them and you've got a good 80% of the female population right there.
It's like Girls Gone Wild for gamers I suppose.

@Yuki: So the rest of us are what? Indecent?
Tell me, is it lonely up there on your pedestal?
The problem is that the internet (Kotaku in particular) is rarely a very serious place. That's the way it is, that's the way we likes it. Like I said, there's nothing wrong with sharing your $0.02 on an issue you feel strongly about every now and then. Heck, I do it at least once a week on this site. But when you come through banging your Righteous Drum of Justice every single time you post a comment, it gets to be a bit... I dunno, childish.
If your mission is to "educate" and "enlighten" all of us on the Real World, then go ahead. You're entitled. Just don't be surprised when the rest of us don't welcome your condescending Holier Than Thou remarks with smiles and hugs.
I don't think it's any coincidence that you experience a lot of bad attitudes in the Real World, by the way.

@big_world: The problem is, people on the internet tend to make almost everything into a joke. I know from experience that this attitude tends to carry over to the real world, and that is an even bigger problem.
@Capt. Struggle Bunny: And the problem with calling out rampant sexism is? It might be vaguely humorous if it was not so common. Before you start attacking me for being a feminist, know that I am MtF trans. There happens to be a reason I hate the male mindset, and looking back at many of the problems history has had, my complaints about male chauvinism are not without ground.

It's fine to take your soap box every now and then to let the world know that "Yes, I am Cola82, and yes, I have an opinion". But geez... lighten up.

Also, more on topic. Girls jsut aren't that hot when they're only around you because they're being paid. Reminds me of a time when i was at a bar that was "visited" by the Miller Lite girls. They'd come stick their boobs in your face and offer you some crap T-shirt if you'd change your beer to Miller Lite. I think I was the only dude that said "no".

I keep wanting to believe I'm welcome at this site, and then something like this is posted, and I search the comments for sense and humanity. Instead, it's either that this is just lame, or the girls are ugly whores. It's just depressing.
Is Kotaku for gamers or is it a boy's club? Drew, weren't you promoting an idea for a game that combatted dating violence? This is precisely the dehumanising attitude toward women that leads to that kind of behaviour. I'm just really sad.

Seriously though, yes the girl on the left is scary, but the girl on the right is hot and the girl that TheTravisCooper mentioned too.
Besides, most of the people here probably never even dated a girl as good looking as the scary bitch on the left anyway.

Scottsdale whores are ugly. This is just one exhibit of several thousand. I'm not really down with the whole "leather furniture with breasts" look most of them have going.
Btw I'm in Phoenix so its not like I've not experienced the "nightlife" of Scottsdale.

Is Drew the Big brother or younger brother to the Crecente household, and who has the better hair? And if you are the younger sib, do you ever worry that B-man might be stiffing you on the pay amount you guys agreed upon at Gawkers enslavement camp?

those chicks look good enough to be at a bar in phoenix pretty much naked and get their pictures taken by the newspaper.
maybe they're no hollywood skeeze or supermodels, but they're definitely hot. unless you've "bagged" at least twice as many chicks hotter than those, there's no way you can say they don't look good.

I live about 5 blocks from Axis/Radius in old town Scottsdale, and i wouldn't go there if the next E3 was being held there. The place is lame, unless you like wearing tight shiny shirts and a hot girl to douchebag ratio of 1 : 20. Oh yeah, they actually do have a dress code too. If you're ever in Scottsdale, go to the Coach House. It's cheap and the girls are better. (Also they have Family Guy pinball)
