I'm so pleased to hear that a series of game music concerts is blowing up. It's literally a worldwide success now, and I hope it continues. Tommy, Jack and the gang: we here at Destructoid wish you the best in the future. You guys are kicking ass. See you in Tokyo?
Here's a short list of some of the places VGL is headed for the rest of 2009:

“Our goal and dream of successfully showcasing the video game industry and video game music to the masses has really taken off.” said VGL co-creator Tommy Tallarico. “The support and interest from around the world has been absolutely amazing and we’re really looking forward to continuing this for many years to come.”

I would prefer something closer to Southern New Jersey, like Atlantic City, but I'll take what I can get.
In an unrelated note, I already bought a ticket for me and my girl for the Warsaw, Poland concert! I did it about 2 days after the concert was announced and there were already only like 5 rows of chairs left :)
