We've known this. And you're right, that's never a bad thing. :mrgreen:

It's heartwarming to see a musician who is not full of himself. If he still cares for his fans... that's something to celebrate.

You played Jr's theme. Since I 1st heard that theme, I considered it one of the most bittersweet songs ever, and you played it. Your work is amazing, and I look foward to hearing you play in the future. Thanks for the inspiration and artistic validation. (^-^)/

He really brightened my day.  And that he came helped me stay two hours longer than my "boyfriend" (or as a like to call him guy-that-I'm-stuck-with-because-I-needed-a-ride) wanted to leave.  Because he only came to Otakon for two things: buying overpriced figurines in the dealer's room, and getting a box of Yugioh cards that are cheaper there than they are here, he had a "bad" time (he slept most of the time we were there).  And that they great music alleviated much of my tensin, I was finally able to rid myself of that nasty stomach problem (and I get the feeling that I wasn't really "sick", as much as I was stressed out).  And that he (my "grabby" boyfriend) only took us to Otakon was so he could go disheartened me (though I already expected as much).  So I can say that the concert was somewhat therapeutic (though if you think about it, anything that fills you with a sense of clam and/or happiness would be therapeutic, it probably was for many).

I don't know for certain whether or not I'll be going to Otakon next year.  Because we (that is, I and my sister) should get another person to take us--one that won't make it hard for everyone else in the room, but also one who won't cancel at the last minute!  Oh, I hate having to depend on others.  There is no one I can really depend on.  At least our father will be driving us to where Nekocon will be held.  With luck, I'll find someone who plans on going to Otakon next year. 

But I'm getting off track here.  I think, no, I'm certain that Paino Squall's coming to Otakon made me a lot happier than I would have been if he hadn't. [insert "awws" here].  So, um...arigato!! <._.>

Gah, sorry to hear your "boyfriend" (everyone put it in quotes too!) is a jerkwad. I suggest dumping him, and then "accidentally" stranding him in the desert. The big one, with the scorpions. He can learn their ways, and become like Tarzan, only with scorpions instead of apes. Then everyone's happy.

And hey, I'm sure at least half this forum is planning on going to Otakon '06-maybe one of us can help you with a place to stay ^_^

My sister and I would also like to thank you so much for going to Otakon ^^ We went up to you late Friday night in artist's alley and it was such a pleasure talking to you ^o^ You were so nice to us, even when we were acting like Piano Squall groupies, especially when we were talking about seeing you at AnimeNext back in 2003 ^^ Unfortunately, we couldn't stay long enough on Sunday to see your performance T_T But just speaking with you was a great hilight of our Otakon experience! ^_^ You are such an awesome person n__n (and you give great hugs x3)
We hope to see you perform in the future (maybe AnimeNext06? :3) and would like to thank you again ^^

The Otakon performance was simply amazing!  I felt terrible that I couldn't stay for autographs- I had to run off and handle some con drama...  :x
Anyways, the concert was a great experience...I'm looking forward to future performances!  :D
