The man I was looking at certainly looked like he belonged at a symphony performance. He was sharply dressed, with well-kept hair and a clean-shaven face. He was talking to a couple of other well-clothed people as they take their seats, chatting about classical music.In a clichéd movie scene, he would have pulled a stopwatch out of his jacket pocket at this moment. Instead, he pulls out a Nintendo 3DS to see how many people he has StreetPassed with over the past few minutes.
The Legend of Zelda: Symphony of the Goddesses performance last night by the Dallas Symphony Orchestra was filled with one of the most amazingly diverse crowds I've ever seen, which played a big part in making it special. The show itself is interesting in that in combined video games - a medium not always thought of as being related to "high art" - and classical music. Milling around the Meyerson Symphony Center before the show you never knew whether you were going to see men and women in suits and dresses, younger gamers in Zelda-themed t-shirts or devoted fans dressed from head to toe in costumes inspired by the series.
