So, who's coming~? Who wants to beat us to death with sticks for living in Australia...?
I roped a few friends so we're going as a group (Got nice b-reserve tickets too). Should be a great night
(I really hope they sell some SotC soundtrack CD's there...)

Fixed for truth.
Old PA forum lookalike style for the new forums | My ko-fi donation thing.
But Tasmania has cool trees and (sometimes...) snow
Snow is unfortunately really damn rare (which is annoying considering how often we're bloody cold), and the trees... well... I'm not a nature person :P
Maybe next year I could afford a ticket. Oh well.

ANiF shows no plans of stopping their concerts anyway . Maybe next year...
But yeah, Ive always wanted to go to one of these things.
The Haibane Renmei composer did Shadow of the Colossus? That got my attention.
I thought of it the other way: The Shadow of the Colossus composer did Haibane Renmei? He also did Sky Odyssey, a game that, while awesome, has waaay more awesome music than it should.
There's posters for it all over the place though, so maybe I'll try and drag a few friends along. If I can manage to go, it shall be great fun. I'm a sucker for music from Kingdom Hearts.
Now if only it were a Videogames Live thing and they had some Monkey Island going on... :P
Expletive yes. I'd fly from Victoria to Sydney if there was only one show on in the entire country. Twice.
Play! is performing in the Sydney Opera House on June 19 to 23 too.
I could travel down to Sydney on the Saturday, go to the Tezuka Exhibition at the Art Gallery of NSW, then head to the concert.
It would be the geekiest weekend ever.
And when people ask what I did on the weekend, I could say, "Oh, I went to the Art Gallery and viewed an exhibition, then went to see a concert at the Town Hall". :P
Haha~ Nice one ;-)
Damn, I keep forgetting to go see the Tezuka exhibition... Now it's holidays I have no excuse not to.
Three SotC tracks! Though I'm a bit sad one of them isn't 'Opened way'...
Part of me is still 'What?' to Deltora Quest being on there... (I can't believe they made an anime out of that)
And now I'm sad because I went to Kinokuniya to buy tickets but ended up buying a Zidane Tribal trading figurine and a whole pile of random art books. Damn, that's a lot of good music there...
The anime event is later in the year.
I'm getting excited again; this will be a good cap-off to my Uni break. Though I wish there wasn't an impending sense of assignment doom...
