[Link Man]

So the concert starts at 8PM German Time?

That would be about 2PM Eastern/11AMPacific, then for the US.

It would have been nice if this was provided.

 

[Shadow780]

Why Chrono Cross of course. Anything else can take a step back in priority.

And thanks for the major heads up. Count me in.

Too bad I forgot to give her my copy of CT to get it autographed. :/

[jaxword]

F5ing more than FF12.

 

[Borman]

Just curious, are the stream links mixed up, or is it just me? I know its just the waterway there right now, but the cable version seems tiny, while the 56k version is huge in comparison. Seems like someone mixed something up?

 

[Perfect Blue]

Ooooooh thanks a lot for this.

 

[Lady Bird]

Can't wait for it

 

[Shadow780]

Is it a still picture of a bridge?
