Video Games Live

I went to the show in Vancouver (I was the one who asked you about your work "with" Retro). Kudos for bringing it to Canada, Tommy. It was an amazing experience to hear all that music live. It's too bad we can't hear any SquareEnix music, so I guess you'll have to pester them to bring "Dear Friends" up here. So, please remove Final Fantasy from your featured music list as it is not performed at your Concerts. Do you have any plans of bringing VGL back to Vancouver? I would love to go again. I'm sure you would have had a bigger turn out if you had done some more advertising; I only heard about it online.

Also, if you really are Tommy Tallarico, answer me this: What was signifigant about the costume of the 1st place cosplay winner in Vancouver?

Most amazing jew boots

That's weird.. I asked Victor and he said you didn't have any licenses becuase Square was busy with their own tour...

Haha, awesome. I guess it's really you then.

It's also nice to see someone in the Video Game Music industry who actually makes an attempt to get active with it's respective community. Congrats Tommy, and thanks.

There's nowhere I can't reach.

Hey Tommy, is there any chance of getting some Japanese composers out for the concerts? In Vancouver you had Koji Kondo on the screen, but It's not the same as seeing him in person. I understand that that is expenseive, but It would be worth it in the end

Yeah, I thought about that, but I figure that he's gone to so much work that I highly doubt it isn't him.

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

Hey Tommy, was the Vancouver performance ever recorded onto CD or DVD? If so, are there any plans to sell copies? I'd love to have one. Also, I heard your interview on VGDJ. Quite a bit of luck you had getting that music job! I also again want to give you props for being so involved with the community.

I am a dolphin, do you want me on your body?

Haha, be prepared. I've donned my shirt around non-gamers, and I've had many weird looks and questions.

I was speaking idiomatically.
