Video Games Live Symphony
« on: June 11, 2010, 05:17:19 pm »
Has anyone been to one of the Video Games Live tours?
  



I've been waiting a long time for this to be in our area.  I just checked the tour dates and it just happened to be Today and Tomorrow. The wife and I have tickets for tonight in Dallas at 7:30pm and I'm extremely excited.  I know for the Symphony I'd normally dress up shirt/tie, but this is for gamers...

I'm just wondering if anyone has been and what was the proper dress for this?

I've been to a couple now Dazz and they are pretty much black tie events.

Saw this in Vancouver when it was here.
It was a truly epic show! Really beautiful renditions of game songs. Highly recommend going.

I dressed up, suit & tie, only because they had the Canadian Video Game Awards at the show this year.
Dragon Age: Origins and Assassin's Creed II took most of the awards...but one of the games I worked on got the Most Promising Game of the Year award!

But you probably don't need to get too dolled up, "clean-casual" would probably suffice.

Too long, apparently.  I went to the show in Dallas last year (or maybe the year before).

Too late to warn you now, I guess, but attire ranges from black tie to red plumber's vest.

Nah, not too late... Just about to get dressed.  The wife will be home in a few minutes and then we are headed out.  Going with slacks and a shirt/tie.  Will probably dread it for a little while since it's like 95 out.

Just got back from the show.  It was amazing.  I highly suggest that everyone here go and check out this show in an area near you.  It hits on everything from retro arcade up to newer games.
