putting the knit in shizknitz

Thas right. Relive those memories of summers in elementary school spent in front of the ‘ole Nintendo playing hours and hours of Super Mario Bros, Mike Tyson’s Punch Out and of course, Zelda (remember that gold cartridge?)…. tonight, we got to experience it again, live, at the Hollywood Bowl’s Video Games Live concert.

This was not your typical HB concert - great video to accompany the audio (LA Phil, a full choir and stuntmen) as well as laser light beams and other effects. It truly was a great concert. The age range was definitely younger than your typical Wed night Stravinsky concert, which made it more interesting “JENKINNNNNNNNNNNNNS!!!!!!!!”

T’s bro brought us some fresh pizza, straight from his work in one of those delivery pouches. It got its own seat on the bus, and at the bag inspection at the gates of the Bowl, was questioned what was in the bag. “Whats in the bag?” “Pizza” “Oh, you delivering?” “No, eating”

My favorite was Zelda (my own personal memories of that game) but of course, World of Warcraft seemed to have gotten a great warm reception. I dedicate this entry to Hubert, who really should have been there tonight to experience with the other WOW’ers the musical experience….
