The event's 18 musical segments will be aired on Pay-Per-View, with releases on CD and DVD to come. According to Tommy Tallarico, executive producer of Mystical Stone, "the video game industry has been craving an event like this and the initial response has been overwhelmingly supportive." A turnout of 18,000 fans is expected for the event. Look for us there.

Oh man, that'll be awesome, no word on what songs will be played huh? I wonder if it be new stuff or stuff from previous OGC albums... I hope it's on the pay-per view on my dish. I'll be looking forward to it, that's for sure :yesyes:

[Secret Squirrel]

I am going to do what it takes to get to this event. I hope I can meet up with a lot of you there, too.

You know, it's probably for American made VGM.

Probably another way for Tommy to promote his lame ass =PP

Ah well, if it's orchestrated it can't all be too bad =p

[Naka]

I will be there too! It shall be a grand time! Hopefully...

[Zephyrin]

I hope I can find a way to go to this too, but I'm confused.

How do you get into e3, or is this not a part of it? Says you can't go unless you're over 18 anyways. I don't get it.

w00t! I'm in Southern California, and I should be able to delay my flight at the end of the college year and go to this. Thanks for the information! :walk:
