Omg!

I thought I'd post this here because not many people in my real life would appreciate this.

For our anniversary, my OH got us tickets to go see the Final Fantasy Symphony when it comes to Toronto later in the year. But, for mother's day, he paid a bit extra and now we get to go to the Meet and Greet with Nobuo Uematsu afterwards!

I am SO FREAKING EXCITED!!!! Best Mother's Day gift ever!!!

[Violet]

That's awesome. I always wanted to go see one of his concerts, I love his music. You should take pics, though! Shake his hand! And steal a piece of his hair for a souvenir .

[Dodie16]

Hey, that is pretty cool! I wonder if they'll let you take pictures when you meet up with Nobuo Uematsu? if you do, you should totally post them in the picture thread so we can see. Hope you have tons of fun when you go to the concert!

[loaf]

I got the OST's for like all Final Fantasy, just as good

Worst case you guys can expect some crappy-quality Cell Phone pictures! If we can take pictures we will!

It was pretty sweet when they came to LA. They were able to get the singers for the theme songs from FFIX and FFX as well as the various members of the Black Mages. Was money well spent. But wow it's been a long time since then.

Sounds like it'll be great!

[rJ floW]

you're from toronto?? whereabouts?

I guess to stay on topic, where is it being held? sounds cool...

[Tiffany]

Well, not in Toronto exactly. I'm about 40 mins north of there. Are you familiar with Barrie?

Its being held at the Hummingbird Center. I've walked past it, but never been inside.

[OnOneRyder]

Another person near barrie here? Cool

I'd like to go see this as well, maybe we'll bump into each other.

[Meier Link]

So have they announced an official set list for this event yet? Or do you think it will be a bit more on the random side?

Me personally I would hope it would be the second option. That would be awesome not knowing what is coming next but knowing and loving what is being herad as it is being played.

Congrats for getting to go. You OH seems pretty rad that he would go to the extents that he did to get you something that he knew you would love and then topping it with a M&G heh.

Hope you have some fun!

From what I just read it says that it will be at the "Sony Centre for the Performing Arts."

You are so lucky to have a chance to see Nobuo Uematsu. I'm filled with envy of your chance. Congrats

I might go to the concert, it would be so much easier if it were here in Montreal... But I'm hoping I'll go to the Toronto one.

"Another" person? I'm in Barrie, who else is near here? Wow, I am so out of it. I didn't realize that there were TFF'ers near me!

We just might! I'll be the really dorky one trying to keep myself from going "OMG omg omg omg omg!!"

Meier - Yeah, my guy is pretty awesome. The first Christmas we were together he got me a necklace replica of "Griever", which is the one that Squall wears, as Squall is my fave FF character. It definitely helps having a gamer for a boyfriend as well!


Padriac - Yeah, that's the name of it now. I think its better known as the Hummingbird Center. Kind of like how the Skydome will always (IMO) be the Skydome... not the Rogers Center... if you know what I mean?

[Jin]

Tiiiiiiiff. Take pictures that include you in them. Like those postcard pictures with people in front of stuff.

Triple points if you get one of you rushing the stage.

I actually grew up in Aurora...scary..small world...

Well, actually, I was born a Montrealer (In the English sub-urbs ), so I don't know too much about Toronto. But, yeah, I can see the point you're trying to make. We got a theatre downtown called the Scotia Bank theatre, but it was the Paramount before, so thats what we call it

That IS a scary small world. My brother lives there now, ha ha ha.

I will for sure! Like touristy pictures? I don't know if P would be able to recover from the embarrassment of me rushing the stage to be able to capture it on camera,

Yeah, I hate how it seems like the neater names of things are now all being bought by corporate bigwigs and thus renamed. I've been to Montreal, but that was many, many, MANY years ago. I don't remember much from there tbh.

[Cheesevixen]

Thats sweet Tiff ! Hope you have a blast. Post pic....etc. :-) Awesome Gift BTW !!! Kuddos to him !

[Padraic]

Heheh, it is quite forgetteable isn't it? The only thing really going for it is the fact that we also speak French and some people take that as a bad thing.

[Tiffany]

Speaking French, in Canada? A BAD thing? Yeah, it does get a bad rap eh? I grew up in North Bay, which was only 45 mins or so from the Quebec border. Although I wouldn't say they spoke French there, more of the "Fringlish" or "Franglais" variety.

Not sure if that's a Northern Ontario thing either. But yeah, Franglais all the way up there.

[Padraic]

Fringlish, Franglais, whatever you want to call it is hilarious, even better though is the french quebequers speaking english... Its just hilarious. Once late at night these teens older than myself came up to my brother and I and asked "Do you have any herb?" well thats what they tried to say. What it sounded like was more like "err, do yoo ave any erb?"
