VGL to perform first video game concert in Mexico this weekend  photo
     HAHA Weird!

Video Games Live will be making its way to Mexicali, Mexico this weekend for the first ever video game concert in the country. That may be cool alone, but what will really make this show special? It's in a 7000 seat bullring! Check out the official blurb.

In its continuing efforts to show the world how artistic and culturally significant video games have become, Video Games Live will be performing its ground-breaking 2008 World Tour this weekend at the 7000+ seat Plaza de Toros Calafia Bullring in Mexicali, Baja California, Mexico with the prestigious Ensamble de Jóvenes Orchestra and Choir.  The event will take place this Saturday, March 15th at 7:30PM as the grand finale of the newly created GamaCon ’08 video game, anime, cosplay and comic book convention.

If there is one show on this years VGL schedule that I would love to see, it would have to be this one. If you are in the area, I promise you it will be a great event to be at. Check it out and be sure to have a cerveza Tecate on my behalf.

Dude what the hell? Rap is WAY worst than Tejano music. I mean at least I can tolerate moonspeak and accordions.
