My graffiti: At Harmonix, it's OK to show your feelings. Really. Well, now that we think about it, this might be a little too much feeling.

5:42 p.m. I say goodbye, and head back downstairs to the madness that is Central Square, with its mix of upscale coffee shops and down-and-out homeless. I snap a few pictures of the office from across Mass. Ave. Do they make awesome music/rhythm games in there, or do they sell insurance? Because you really can't tell from the outside.

I pack away my camera, then head down Prospect, and into what's left of the muggy Cambridge afternoon.

POSTSCRIPT: A few days after my visit, I get an email from Helen, relaying some good and bad news. My "Message of the Day" posts? The one about the smoking monkey got nixed, sadly. But my underwear-on-stage post -- that one survived legal. So when you read that message later in the month, you'll know who to thank.

    Today's your day!

    So the DLC that will make us happy is the Moving Pictures album?

    At least you didn't have to do laundry or give the sweaty janitor a rub down.
