I am definitely going to this:
I’ve heard music from Final Fantasy performed live twice now, once in Atlanta several years ago, and once in Seattle last summer. This, however, will be the event not to miss. I was able to get a copy of the program, and it’s going to be great. I’m especially excited for Suteki Da Ne from FFX, which is easily my favorite piece from a video game. Anyway, the full document is at http://okgodoit.com/DistantWorlds.pdf, but here’s the important part:
