E Is For Everyone!First things first - we didn't get a review from Wired. It turns out one of our customers had her wires crossed
(pun intended). By the end of this weekend, we're going to have completed Phase B prototyping of the Drum Stand.
What does that mean? It means that we're going to build the Drum Stand 4 times to learn how to do it right, develop
the step by step instructions, and proof our shipping solution. We think we'll have a formal launch and general
availability for the Rock Band Drum Stand by 18 May.
Exciting!
Oh, more to the point of the title
of this post - we've decided to go to "E For Everyone" (formerly known as E3) in Los Angeles in October.
We've got a corner booth (#841) directly across from Target, who will be having a Rock Band competition throughout the
show. So if you end up there, be sure to drop by and say hello (oh, and buy a stand while you're at it)!

We're even MORE famous!We got a little more digital ink today from Kotaku, and rumor has it that Wired reviewed our product, though we were totally unaware of that fact. If you have a
link to the Wired article, please send it to us using the FAQ form, or the email address listed below.
We
should also see a review of the Guitar Stand in next month's Game Informer.
Oh, by the way, we temporarily
took down the pictures of the drum stand until we got our patent application in. We realized that there's nobody
out there anywhere who is producing anything like the drum stand, so we figure it might be a good idea to protect our idea
before revealing it to the world.

We're FAMOUS!We sent a stand over to Jason Chen at Gizmodo, and he wrote up a review of the guitar stand. The response has been pretty strong, and needless to say, we're very happy about that.
Thanks Jason, for giving us some exposure.

The Drum Stand Cometh!We built a prototype this weekend for the Drum Stand, and it looks really great. Sure, it's made out of crappy chipboard,
but it's a good proof of the concept.  We actually screwed up on our math and made it an inch shorter than it should be (I blame Andrew), so the guitars juuuuust
barely fit in the door. We'll make sure to fix that next time. Like our granddaddy always said - "measure
twice, cut once!" Kevin

We're like, totally live, dude!Welcome to the Dude Thing Creations Website. Things have moved pretty fast over the past couple of months.
From two guys puttering around in the garage to a fledgling business, it's been really cool - and now we're on the
web! Woot!
If you're here, you're looking for a guitar stand for your Guitar Hero or Rock Band axe(s).
You've come to the right place. We've got a lot of enthusiasm for the games, and as you'll see over the
next few months, a couple of products in our pipeline.
