Saturday night I went to watch the Seattle Symphony play Final Fantasy: Distant Worlds. Nobuo Uematsu was there in the flesh!!! He was dressed in… grey and white shrine gear??? Lol and he had long hair and wore a blue and white bandana XD He is full of awesome. Looks like he may have gone to Pike Place Market too, because he wielded none other than…. a fish…. A rubber fish, but a fish nonetheless. In a concert hall XD Anyway the symphony was amazing. I forgot what song they opened with, but everytime they played a song from FF8 or 7 I teared up XD And they played the game sequences on the big screen, so watching 8’s ending CG’s with Laguna and Raine made me bawl XD It was a really amazing concert. And I’m sure the orchestra never had such a geeky, rambunctious crowd; we must have given them applause after EVERY song. And two standing ovations XD Near the end, Uematsu-san and Mr. Arnie Roth (the conductor) threw the fishes into the crowd XD Well, rather Uematsu-san threw one into the crowd, and Mr. Roth threw it behind him at one of the violinists LOLOLOL

I want to go again!!! I want to hear the music again. Grand band version of the chocobo theme XD Epic “Man with the Machine Gun” (I loved how they played his limit break sequence!!! And the Dollet battles for the battle theme!!!) and the Final Fantasy 1, 2, and 3 medley. I never played 6, 11, or 12, but now I want to. I just wish I had the time to play looooong RPG’s again. I’m sure I can fit it into my life somehow though XD And Uematsu is returning for FF14!!! The games just aren’t the same without his music!

And today we had the epic swap meet!!! I got a few awesome trades out of it too. And after seeing the Meta candy house skirt in person, I am KEEPING it. The elastic on the waist is AMAZING. Not like Baby’s TIGHT TIGHT waistbands (who REALLY has a 24 inch waist anyway???). Which gave me this great idea for my pettis. I’m going to take out all the elastic and replace them with ribbon, so I can just tie it onto my waist. And not die from lack of hair XD And loosen the ribbon when I eat a lot O.o

So now I gotta pre-register for InnoSera, pay my cell phone bill and my camera bill, and I’m done with payments owed for the month. Hurrah! XD
