The Dear Friends concert was most excellent. If you can at all make it to one of these concerts, I highly reccomend it. The next one is in San Francisco, I believe. You can find all the details here. I do wish more of the people that had gone to the one in Chicago had some basic understanding of orchestral concert etiquette, but what can you do? It was fun nonetheless, and Mr. Uematsu even hinted at possibly doing another tour in the future, this time with his rock bad The Black Mages. Time for me to get some sleep, long work week still ahead of me and I need to get more comic work done.
