Spoiler Hello! On Saturday, we were off to visit Distant Worlds, the wonderful concert featuring music of Final Fantasy's Nobuo Uematsu here in the lovely streets of Toronto with its extremely strange abstract buildings! Before we were to begin, we decided to eat delicious Japanese foodstuffs at an extremely expensive downtown restaurant! Throughout the entire trip, I was haunted by this ghastly apparition who challenged me to a game of Sushi Consumption Chess! The first round was completed quickly and decisively, but the true game went onwards with the platter of rice-stuffs and fruits de mer. Round one! Round two! Final round! And then the ghost attempted to move the wasabi to my side of the platter and the game was over as we turned to more serious matters. Anyhow, we ventured onward towards the concert hall. After purchasing a few gifts for friends, I met our wonderful member Sabby! Here you see this lovely young lass next to a fairly creepy and extremely erratic man wearing an absolutely ridiculous sweater. Also he smells like Figaro Castle or some such. And is always late to staff parties. Also because I am an absolute idiot I was not able to take any proper pictures of the concert proper so alternatively here was the playlist for the aforementioned!

There was a proposal in the concert as well, noted directly through an amusing animation edit of Final Fantasy VII on the large screen! It was beautiful. So in general, it was an absolutely beautiful event. I do not regret attending at all.
I hate you and I hate Sabby and I hate Kitty too! So jelly that all the tickets for London's Distant Worlds sold out before I had a chance to buy them. ;;
I love how you two look so awkward. Lol. These pics need more hugs :3 And gosh, both of your faces need so much pinching!
I think I mentioned this before, but in case you missed the memo they added standing room in the gallery at RAH in london, £25 a ticket. Last I checked there were still some of these available. You seriously do not want to miss this, one of the best experiences of my life :) But this looks really amazing :) Glad you had a great time! Is your playlist in the order they played them during the concert? Because I remember they had Terra's theme at the end for London 2011 and I was annoyed at everyone clapping over it XD All my favourites are here, can't wait untill London 2012!
That rendition of To Zanarkand... ;~; Still, if Distant Worlds ever comes down here, I will be going.
