Hi everyone,

Sorry to bring up an old thread but I just started posting here and someone directed me to this thread and I just wanted to make sure all the questions were answered.


Florida.... we're already working on it!


T.T.

Jam it back in, in the dark.

Yeah... it was tough on us last year when Clear Channel decided not to go ahead with the rest of the tour (they ran into some financial restructuring which unfortunately we got caught up in). But NEVER for a second did our dream die. We've been working on this long before the Play or Dear Friends concerts and because we ARE the video game industry the dream will never fade away.

It was a real bummer for us to announce 25 cities and then only play a handful of them. I'm most disappointed for the fans who waited so long for something as new and unique as this to come to their hometown.

But it just took a little longer and now Jack & I are in total control so we never have to worry about a big investor pulling out ever again. We were the first to play Seattle, Vancouver & San Jose... we'll be the first to play Philly (next weekend), the first to Toronto, Montreal, Indianapolis, Houston and many other exciting announcements and countries.

To be honest, the Play concert is much different than Video Games Live. The great news is that no matter what style you prefer or like... there is awesome video game music being played all over the world!!

Doesn't need to be a competition... and although the Play! folks seem to take shots at us when they do interviews... we do not feel the same way.

Facts are facts... our shows are different and because of our design we appeal to a much wider and broader audience. You don't need to be a gamer to enjoy what our show has to offer because of our synchronized video & lights, interactivity with the crowd, free pre-show festival and meet & greet with composers & designers and of course... our tickets are half the price so the whole family can attend. Tickets at our Hollywood Bowl show last year started at $1.

We have a LOT of new surprises and will be debuting some new games and music that have never been heard or played live before.

It will NEVER happen again! We have ensured that!

We've also partnered with all of the cool gaming, anime, sci-fi, comic-book and table gaming conventions all over the world! Instead of trying to do too much at once (6 weeks/25 cities) we are not doing one show at a time in the beginning and building each market successfully.

I would recommend signing up to our mailing list on the front page of our site (www.videogameslive.com) because they get all of the newest info and special ticket offers before anyone.

There's nowhere I can't reach.

New York is a VERY expensive place to put on a big production. But hopefully we'll have some exciting news soon.

But Philly is this weekend and it's pretty close to NYC so hopefully you'll be able to check it out.

We're playing Montreal!

Exact date will be coming soon. Please sign up on the mailing list and you'll be the first to know and get tickets before they go on sale to the public (so you'll get the best seats).

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