Thanks! I bought my tickets the day the concert was announced, but I had to settle for the cheap seats. Really wish I would've waited now, but the thought of not being able to get a seat was mortifying. Hopefully I can get a friend to tag along with this though.

Officially going to the show on the 25th in Pennsylvania! Me and 2 friends bought our tickets today, we're fucking pumped. We've been listening to the soundtrack that came with Skyward Sword for months now, we're ecstatic to finally hear it for real. We're getting orchestra seats and I'll be sure to post impressions once I see it. I am ready for a hell of a show.

I managed to score tickets for me and a handful of my friends for the Boston show in October. Pretty psyched, I must say! I'm really expecting my 3DS to spontaneously combust with all of the street pass tags I get; or I sure as fuck hope it does! The area I live in, I only get passes at GameStop (the employees). I'm really hoping I get a shit-ton at the show.

I've been to two of these and while the StreetPass tags are plentiful, there's just too little time to actually get much out of them.
Cons and trade shows are much better.

So this concert is tomorrow in Vienna, VA... anyone else going? I am! Gonna bring my 3DS as well to get lots of StreetPass hits hopefully.
EDIT: By the way, I'll be wearing this Legend of Zelda shirt from the Nintendo World store. So if anyone from GAF sees me, say hi.

So I'm still planning on hitting the Chicago one in October. Is that still the only one anywhere in the midwest?
Yup, I'm going. I went to the first one at the Meyerson, awesome show.

This thread title desperately needs a change. It's cruel to the people in Vancouver and Phoenix.
I want to go again... but the tickets to this one are so expensive.

Will so be going to this since I missed the first showing. Also Gamestop is doing the 15% off as well for power up rewards members.
No joke, the first showing had seats starting at $19.
I don't think it'd be worth going again unless they added a Skyward Sword movement. That's probably the only thing that could get me to go short of Kondo playing some tunes himself.

So, is anyone going to the Dallas one Tomorrow? Would be nice to meet up with other Gaffers if possible.

speaking of: south florida GAF, don't forget about our meetup in december after the show!
I'm going with a few other peeps who are going to be chilling in the Lawn Seat area (I bought my ticket when they first went on sale, so I'm more up near the front). Also, I would park near the Plaza of the Americas, they have $3 Parking nearby and are only a 5 minute walk away from the ATTPAC. Better than paying mucho $$ for Lexus Parking as far as I'm concerned. Hopefully it doesn't rain torrentially tomorrow night.

Oh, thanks for the parking tip. Yeah I bought some Lawn seats since they were the cheapest. Kinda felt like I should've gone with the Rear Row instead now. Oh well.

The Pabst Theater System in Milwaukee announced on Monday that the Symphony of the Goddesses series is coming to Riverside in downtown Milwaukee. This date and location isn't up on the Symphony of Goddesses website.
If you weren't able to get into the Chicago one, or wanted a cheaper alternative, now's your chance!
The Pre-sale tickets just went up at: http://pabsttheater.org/show/zelda2013

The Club Nintendo discount works, too.

If you get a streetpass tag with a male Mii with glasses named Jody, that's me.

Just got home
Any Zelda fan needs to go.
They did the medley of all the games, then ocarina of time, then wind waker, then twilight princess, then link to the past
Then as encores they did ballad of the wind fish, then gerudo valley, and finally ended with majoras mask
I must have been sitting next to a gaffer because during the twilight princess portion he just played on his phone. And it's not like we were in the cheap seats.

It was a great concert. I laugh at the fools who fell for the "encore" trick and left early.
Also: SO. MANY. NERDS.

I was pretty disappointed Kakariko Village, Gerudo Valley, Great Fairy's Fountain, WW Movement, and TP movement were exactly the same as the Skyward Sword CD. Incredible to listen to live but still.
One of the harp players was fucking up real good. Quite evident during the Great Fairy's Fountain theme duet.
And lots of neck beards oh my goodness...
But overall excellent night. ALttP movement was godly especially the end credits song. I was also glad the crowd reactions during the music was at a minimum (or at least in the front rows).

I also saw Groose

I microwave steaks.
Just came back from the San Antonio showing, man what a night. I was literally in the back though, like the backmost, left side of the theater. So I could only see 1/3rd of the screen, which didn't bother me anyways because I could still tell what was going on, and mainly I could still hear the symphony just fine.
Anyways, concert was great. I'll admit I had high expectations for what they were going to play, unfortunately I realized that it was unrealistic to play every single theme, but from what they played it was still amazing just to hear the live orchestrated versions. Also, I thought it was pretty lame for people to be laughing during the symphony. Sure there is some situational humor going on on screen but it kinda kills the mood.
I feel very fortunate, they said they added another piece to this (and i'm sure a few previous) concerts. I won't spoil it but it definitely cheered me up (that it felt like the concert was never going to end).
In the end, got my t-shirt and my poster ($35!), and I'm very fortunate to have the opportunity to witness such an amazing experience.
Also I got 50 streetpasses. I already have all the puzzles so I felt bad that I didn't have anything to do (other than that annoying secret quest of find mii 2).

Any word on whether or not more dates will be announced?
If this is it, I am HIGHLY considering making the drive from St. Louis to Milwaukee just to see this concert.

Me too, plus ballad of the wind fish! Did not expect those two (hadn't been keeping up with the set list).On my way home now from the New York show. Had a great time! Majora's Mask finale made me a happy man.

I loved the 25th anniversary one, and the promise of Link's Awakening means I have to go again. Just have to hope the one exam I have in that timeframe doesn't clash...<_<
