PLAY! A Video Game Symphony

I was there alright!

Most memorable ones had to be Liberi Fatali and the Chrono Suite. Both brought gallons of tears into my eyes.

All of us Finnish people who came to the concert also had a special meet with Uematsu, as we ran into him in the street late after the concert. We chatted a bit, took group pictures with him, he signed all our soundtrack booklets and gave us pretty nifty promotion items of his freelance firm Smile Please.

It was already 2 at night at that time and even after that we went and greeted some Swedish game music fans from spelmusik.net, who got our tickets for us at the last minute and were great contributors to our journey altogether. :)

Jam it back in, in the dark.

I wouldn't know about that, since we spoke English all the time, and I assumed everyone was Swedish enough. IIRC there were five others besides us 8 Finns at first, but eventually everyone except Johan went to the central train station so we decided to kidnap him.

If you remember hanging out at that time of night in a huge crowd consisting mostly of really wacky people, then that was us.

What a small world... god.

EDIT: Anyway, this is what we looked like, if it rings any bells.

Spoiler:

Back alley of Konserthuset swarming with rats.

There's nowhere I can't reach.

He did the same thing in Chicago, so it's not so "special". ;p

Though, I heard they played OWA twice in a row in Chic. That's not very far from tactless. So I guess the Swedish audience had it better.

This thing is sticky, and I don't like it. I don't appreciate it.
