		<description><![CDATA[Kev and I went to see Video Games Live at the Sage - Northern Sinfonia performing music from video games. Possibly the only time we will see Northern Sinfonia at the Sage decked out in Threadless Gaming T-shirts. The show was good fun.  Multi-generational audience. Our only lament was that we weren't seeing it in the US or Japan where it would have been sure to sell out and more people would have been dressed up.

Jack Wall was the conductor, Tommy Tallarico was the MC. It turns out he composed the music to one of the games I used to play Earthworm Jim (also loved the cartoon). Martin Leung the video game pianist also performed including a rendition of Super Mario blindfolded. There was also a skype video chat with Marty O'Donnell. You can watch a good chunk of it with the youtube playlist below.]]></description>

Possibly the only time we will see Northern Sinfonia at the Sage decked out in <a title="Threadless T-shirts" href="http://www.threadless.com?streetteam=yaffa" target="_blank">Threadless</a> Gaming T-shirts.<br />
Kev was wearing:<br />
<a title="Video games ruined my life... two extra lives. - Threadless, Best T-shirts Ever" href="http://www.threadless.com/product/921/Video_games_ruined_my_life_two_extra_lives?streetteam=yaffa"><img src="http://www.threadless.com/productbanner/921/banner1.png" border="0" alt="Video games ruined my life... two extra lives. - Threadless, Best T-shirts Ever" width="350" height="200" /></a></p>
<p>I was wearing:<br />
<a title="This is not a Pipe - Threadless, Best T-shirts Ever" href="http://www.threadless.com/product/543/This_is_not_a_Pipe?streetteam=yaffa"><img src="http://www.threadless.com/productbanner/543/banner1.png" border="0" alt="This is not a Pipe - Threadless, Best T-shirts Ever" width="350" height="200" /></a></p>
<p>Would have been just as happy wearing:<br />
