So I was sitting in bed one night watching King of the Hill on Cartoon Network and I saw this add for a concert coming to Portland that I would be interested in going to. Well here is the information taken right from the website:

"Video Games Live™ is an immersive concert event featuring music from the most popular video games of all time. Top orchestras & choirs perform along with exclusive video footage and music arrangements, synchronized lighting, solo performers, electronic percussionists, live action and unique interactive segments to create an explosive entertainment experience!"

On top of that they even have a costume contest. I plan on going and I think Sam (AriaxKitsune) plans on going as well. The tickets range from 25 dollars (back of the balcony) to 130 (front row seats). I did check and the nicest seats are now $70 and according to my parents those are pretty good seats.

It might be pretty cool if we could go together, if that were the case we could go for the cheaper seats all together.

So here is some time and date info.

Date: Sat Nov 7th (two weeks from tomorrow)
Time: 7:30
Place: Arlene Schnitzer Concert Hall

Anyone interested in going? Also here is the website for more info.

I would, but I gotta save up for MEW.

That'd be loads of fun to go to though...

DancingTofu · « **Reply #2 on:** October 23, 2009, 06:47:24 pm »

I might be going. Depends on whether I have time or not. Not really interested in going unless it's with some good friends or family though.

nikkiolie · « **Reply #3 on:** October 23, 2009, 06:47:53 pm »

Yeah same...I want at least one friend XD

NARUNIK · « **Reply #4 on:** October 23, 2009, 06:59:32 pm »

This sounds sooo interesting..I would love to go...

I wonder if they'll play something from FFVII or MGS (sons of liberty)

Tobias · « **Reply #5 on:** October 23, 2009, 07:00:48 pm »

Dude, I'm already going

nikkiolie · « **Reply #6 on:** October 23, 2009, 07:03:51 pm »

I remember seeing metal gear solid on the commercial, and I don't think they can't play any FF music ;P Here is a commercial similar to the one I saw

No mention of Lemmings? Cavestory? Fire Emblem? Those are three of the most legendary soundtracks out there! :O

To an event where the seats are $70? You'll cosplay in a fine suit and nothing less.

I can get $ really fast if I wanted to.

mattstotts46 · « **Reply #16 on:** October 23, 2009, 07:38:02 pm »

Hopefully I'll get my Psycho Mantis costume done by then. I have at least half the stuff i need. I just need the boots and all of his freakin collars.

Not at all. They had a final fantasy thing like this in Seattle last year and Nobu was there in jeans. I don't think it is too formal.

TanisNikana · « **Reply #18 on:** October 23, 2009, 07:39:49 pm »

Yeah, but Nobuo can wear whatever he wants; he's like William Shatner like that.

Nice...although my mom just took my PSP away and I CANT FRAKING play..Im at the part where you got to fight the ninja..
For my Snake (from MGS3) I need straps, a belt with pouches, eyepatch, and a headband.

DancingTofu · « **Reply #20 on:** October 23, 2009, 07:51:52 pm »

You should be able to steal a headband from your mentor.

The nice thing about this is that cheap seats are still great seats.

TanisNikana · « **Reply #21 on:** October 23, 2009, 08:08:57 pm »

Well, $25 cheap seats may be worth a look.

I think I'll do that.

Yep, the Schnizter doesn't really have bad seats..especially for something like this. I would be going, but I will be at PDXLAN instead.

I think I may try to order my tickets tomorrow

Cassiopeia · « **Reply #24 on:** October 24, 2009, 02:25:54 am »

I've been trying to convince my parents to take me ever since I found out about it a few months ago. I really wanna go. I love video game music. xD

TurboSaiyanJason · « **Reply #25 on:** October 24, 2009, 02:42:05 am »

Something I can't resist, except for hoping I have enough for a $25 spot.

NARUNIK · « **Reply #26 on:** October 25, 2009, 12:54:01 am »

If I see Mr.Kojima...Im gonna stalk him in a carboard box!

nikkiolie · « **Reply #27 on:** October 28, 2009, 10:12:42 am »

I'm not sure if I will be able to go to this or not. I really hope I can but I don't have anyone to go with =/

TurboSaiyanJason · « **Reply #28 on:** November 02, 2009, 12:19:11 am »

I have a cardboard box that's perfect for stalking in if you want to use it. It's got "Not Snake!" on the side.

I will definitely come as Mario...complete with ? block!

Cassiopeia · « **Reply #29 on:** November 02, 2009, 07:44:37 pm »

Oh, one of my cosplaying bros on facebook mentioned this, but the link he gave was kinda dead. This seems really cool, and something that my dad would take my brother and I to. I'll see if I can go to this, it would be really cool!

Man of the Public · « **Reply #33 on:** November 02, 2009, 09:02:39 pm »

I'll be going and taking my Ralf Jones cosplay to it.

Much (bromantic) love to MJW for getting me a ticket.

You look like you're about to die from feverish excitement, have a 1up *donates 1 green mushroom*
And yesh there will be a ? block for smashing fist and scoring prize.

A friend of mine is coming along. We're aiming for the cheap spots.

Can't make this; need to keep my dollars.

TurboSaiyanJason · « **Reply #36 on:** November 06, 2009, 11:39:00 pm »

I have a ? box, but no yellow duct tape to decorate it. I also heard that there's a contest for best video game costume at 6:30. Mario will not miss this! I'm dropping in tomorrow around 6:15

Cassiopeia · « **Reply #37 on:** November 07, 2009, 12:24:53 am »

Will I miss everyone because I'll be going on Sunday? :'D

Aw, sad day. I don't think I'll be able to go after all. ;~;
For all of those who do go, have fun, and please let the rest of us know how it is. ^^

If you people take pictures post them or send a link to them!

If you have pictures of Hideo Kojima...PLEASE SHOW ME!!!

TurboSaiyanJason · « **Reply #46 on:** November 08, 2009, 12:05:42 am »

There weren't many costumes there as I had expected, but it's only day 1. And I missed the contest by 10 minutes! I had an epic Super Mario cosplay on me too. But the concert was all coolness. They even had a FF7 slideshow of fan art and cosplays while the orchestra played One Winged Angel. The last slide said "Cosplays FTW!"

NARUNIK · « **Reply #47 on:** November 08, 2009, 12:14:05 am »

WOW!
CAN YOU GET HIDEO'S AUTOGRAPGH FOR ME!!!!
PLEASE!!!!
I WILL DO ANYTHING!
I WILL PAY YOU!!!!
PLEASE!!!

mattstotts46 · « **Reply #48 on:** November 08, 2009, 12:32:37 am »

Hideo wasnt there but he did leave a video! The acoustics of the concert hall was amazing! Choir did an amazing job. The music was very moving and brought back much nostalgia. I got into the finals in the costume contest. Note to self: You cant win against a chibi Zelda.

NARUNIK · « **Reply #49 on:** November 08, 2009, 12:34:20 am »

Awwww...

No Hideo...

Well that sucks....He must be working on PEACEWALKER! Good man he is, good man...
