Well the Roxy Theatre in Hollywood, CA, hosted on July 23, 2008 MTV2's and Time Warner Cables sponsored event Road To VMA's where aspiring L.A. talent got the opportunity to compete in a music competition for a spot to be featured in the 2008 Video Music Awards. The event was taped at the famous Roxy Theatre in Hollywood, CA, and the competitors - The Ruse, U-N-I, and End Roulette - were judged by celebrity panelists Kat Von D, Matt Skiba from Alkaline Trio, and The Game. The show was great and the bands were amazing, but a real downer that night was The Game's personality. Judging by his facial expressions and his constant textingon his iPhone, it appeared as though he did not want to be there. The only time he looked away from his phone was when it was his time to speak and when a begging fan managed to get his attention and ask for a photo (but trust me, as soon as the photo was done and over with, it was back to the iPhone). Kat Von D and Matt Skiba were much nicer and more loyal to their fans, stopping to take photos and sign autographs with whomever asked. You would think being from Cali himself and being recognized by the fans who support him, The Game would be a bit more courteous. Anyways, just thought I'd share.
