While Dead & Company just spent two nights at the beautiful Alpine Valley Music Center, that didn’t stop guitarist John Mayer from checking out the newest mobile app craze: Pokémon Go. The new game puts users on a real life map to collect Pokémon and find Pokéstops, cleverly integrating classic Pokémon gameplay with modern day technology.
As the band is on the road, why wouldn’t Mayer take the opportunity to collect Pokémon across the country? His addiction to the app may be on another level though, considering his recent Instagram post…
Yeah, that’s $100 real dollars on Pokémon. He’s in it to win it.
Since Mayer recently showed his bandmates Bob Weir and Mickey Hart what Snapchat is, will it only be a matter of time before the whole band gets in on the craze?
