The Gurn Killers Come Back to NYC Victorious
The Gurn Killers Win it!!
Hey everyone! The Gurn Killers here with our first blog post!
And we think the perfect way to start this blog off is to thank everyone who made this possible!
- Harrah’s, MTV, Harmonix: Thank you for organizing this tournament and for bringing so many awesome people from around the country together. Despite all the logistical and technical hurdles you had to deal with, it was an amazing first effort at this sort of competition and we hope to be part of any such events in the future.
- The judges: Thank you for taking time out of your busy schedules to perform what’s basically a thankless job. We hope you had a good time being entertained by all of us.
- The B-52s: Thank your for agreeing to be part of the promotion and for helping fulfill the rock star fantasies of four video game geeks from New York.
- The Gurn Killer Army: Thank you for being such an incredible source of support through our entire journey. We seriously couldn’t have done it without you. It still blows our minds to look at photos with 20-30 people wearing GK t-shirts. Just… unreal!
- Our competition: Thank you for not just putting up a hell of a fight, but for being such awesome folks. We had a blast meeting all sorts of cool new people through every step of the competition, including some who have become very close friends in the past few weeks. It was an honor to have some of our regional opponents join the GK Army going into the national finals.
Special mention goes to MoB, Don’t Call Me Shirley, Strippers for Stephen Hawking, Mario Speedwagon (BEST. BAND NAME. EVER) and last but certainly not least FA/KE. Every single one of you made this competition tough as ****, from literally a one-note victory in the property finals to a 1-point victory in the regionals to taking the national championship with a scant 3-point victory over the band who unanimously gave the best single-song performance in the entire tournament. We hope we haven’t seen the last of any of you.
- All the family and friends that we’ve lost contact with over the last month as we busted our butts to bring home the bacon. Thank you for being so understanding… we hope we’ve made you proud (cross-dressing aside).
- Thanks to TJ and crew for the tournament coverage.
Expect a lot more from The Gurn Killers in the upcoming weeks.
