Rally to Restore Sanity and/or Fear

Posted on October 30, 2010

The Jon Stewart and Stephen Colbert Rally to Restore Sanity and/or Fear was a great success. There were a couple hundred thousand people there in the name of sanity. Now that’s a cause I can get behind. Let’s make sure our politicians know that us reasonable people need our opinions heard, too.

“If we amplify everything, we hear nothing.”

Final Fantasy Distant Worlds Concert

Posted on July 31, 2010

This was one of the most amazing experiences I’ve ever had in my life. I’ve always loved Final Fantasy music, especially all of the orchestral arrangements, but nothing had prepared me for the magnificence of experiencing a live performance of Nobuo Uematsu’s beloved music. I was so excited when the conductor, the renowned Arnie Roth, announced that, “yeah, actually we know a few more songs,” and conducted an encore performance of Terra’s theme, one of my favorite Nobuo Uematsu pieces, and then concluded the concert with One-Winged Angel.

After intermission, we were also treated to a special address from Uematsu to us the audience at Wolf Trap, recorded just days before the concert. He truly is passionate about his work and has a great sense of humor. Uematsu-san, I would definitely love a cookie!
