First U.S. Final Fantasy Concert Announced

Posted by simoniker on from the chocobo-poop dept.

Carlos Rodriguez writes "I just read at Games Are Fun that Square Enix has officially announced the first U.S.-based Final Fantasy Concert. Entitled 'Dear Friends', it will take place in Los Angeles at the Walt Disney Concert Hall this May 10th, and will feature melodies from the entire series composed and arranged by Nobuo Uematsu. This is the first Final Fantasy music event since 'Final Fantasy 20020220' took place on February 20th, 2002 and the first official Final Fantasy concert to take place outside Japan... It looks like fun! Anybody is planning to attend?"

  4. Up next: Windows XP Concert by AtariAmarok · · Score: 1, Funny

    The first band signed up for the concert is "Billy Crash and the Blue Sound of Death". with their hit ode to the most popular Windows app of all time:

    "And Solitaire's the only game in town,
    Every other thing he tries to run shuts down.
    as any serious app brings up ABEND,
    he'll never try again.
    And keeping to himself he plays the game,
    The other programs all blue-screen the same.
    'Cause the errors are much than he can bear,
    he's playing Solitaire."

  7. Damn you all to hell ... by BorgCopyeditor · · Score: 2, Funny
    ... for making this go through my head after it had just got unstuck:
    I know, I know, a
    world of real emotion is sur-
    rounding me, I
    won't give in to it
    now, I know that
    forward is the only way my
    heart can go, I
    hear your voice calling out.

    This is now in constant loop. Thanks a lot!!!
