$35 is pretty good price, but why LA and why only one place this year? It better come to Dallas or even Austin or else I'll be a very sad sad boy

I think it's a safe bet this will not be coming to western New York because Nintendo never brings their events here (it's like New York City is the only part of the state they think exists).

Um..yup, my wife will never let me go to this.

I live like a mile away from this theater, too.   I probably would've gotten so many streetpasses.

Yeah, we don't tend to get awesome concerts further up the state here in Orlando, either.  I think the closest we'll get is probably Atlanta, Georgia, and that's too far for me.

I doubt I live anywhere near a city that this would come to. Probably not even in the same state as one.

Why?  Does she hate Zelda or You?

I mean if you only live a mile away and its only $35, which is a good price beyond being able to go with a school to this type of event, then why not let you go?  If its because of the young'ns if applicable take them with.  Not the worst venue to expose them to the arts.

I wish they come to Nashville, TN.  I'm not going to Atlanta out of Principle.  I don't know why they don't have the full schedule up but, I'll  bet it will be.

Atlanta
New York
Boston
Houston
Maybe Cleveland

That's about it.

Heh...actually, it's a somewhat complicated story, which comes down to that concert being 1 week before our wedding anniversary, and we already decided that we wouldn't go out to celebrate our anniversary this year because we have a new baby that's barely 4 months old.  If not for the baby, it would have been a great event for a date night.

I think this is more of a conscious choice that me and my wife made to make our kids the biggest priority in our lives, which tends to play havoc with things like concerts, date nights, and in my case, gaming.  If not for my DS and 3DS, I think it would be very hard to fit any gaming at all into my life.

Yeah, all y'all single people, think about that!

Oh, and to the lucky who will be going to the first concert in LA:  The Pantages is a beautiful theater, you will love it.  You'll have to pay through the nose at the parking lot across the street, but really there's no choice.  Besides some really gross pizza by the slice, there is no good food around the theater for blocks and blocks, get dinner somewhere else.  And if anyone is going to cosplay the concert, it would be hilarious (and maybe profitable) if you walked 3 blocks east and pose for pictures with the tourists.  They'll love it, and you may get good tips.  :-)

Those darn Babies... Getting in the way.   This is going to sound very odd but when their really young is the best time to go see movies you want to at the theater.  When their more vocal and mobile you'll lose that ability.  That's how Iron man became my Son's official first movie.
