His 'tag is GameKing28 and he has one of the most impressive faceplate collections in existence. He and his girlfriend invite me and my son and daughter to this event. The five of us at front row and center seats. He has known Tommy Tallarico for a long time. He asked me to make some custom plates for Jack Wall, Tommy, Mike (who was either Jack or Tommy's brother, and who worked at the concerts, too), himself (JB) and me. I didn't put my name on my plate, but for the other four, I picked a classic video game font and gave each one a unique twist to their plates. I also made Tommy (at JB's request) a Spiderman/Green Goblin plate, and a yellow Ferrari plate (because Tommy has a yellow Ferrari). I got signatures from everyone at the event except Martin Leung, who had stepped away right before we got to the table, and I didn't see him again. Here's Tommy's Ferrari plate: http://i16.photobucket.com/albums/b37/SpaceGhost2K/Faceplate%20Customs/YellerFerrari.jpg JB and I were also both at the Gears of War 2 launch party in Los Angeles and we ran into Tommy there. He mentioned the Ferrari plate and said "I got that shit on my 360 right now!" Man, I can't tell you how cool that feels. Anyway, yes, the concert is unbelievable and I recommend that you make any effort to catch it if it's even close to where you live. You won't regret it. http://i16.photobucket.com/albums/b37/SpaceGhost2K/Faceplate%20Customs/videogameslivesetoffive.jpg

I would love to have gone but money was a factor.

Amazing show and I recommend it to everyone. I don't know how your Metropolis Orchestra is, but the Alabama Symphony Orchestra is actually world class and was a blast to watch. We had a local college (UAB) fill in as the choir, which did really well. Good show, good show. Yeah, I saw them recently in Birmingham, AL and the pianist was Lee Ann Leung.
