FYI, I had the great pleasure of attending the show in person and it was even better than the webcast suggests. The sound was incredible and the audience was so into the show. There were a lot of old school Cure fans in the audience (I saw quite a few 'classic' Cure t-shirts) but there were also tons of young fans (who knew the words to all the songs, no less). Sadly enough, a great number of fans chose to attempt to videotape the show and watch from their phones instead of cherishing the moment.

I bought a couple Cure tour shirts...perhaps I'll give one away on an upcoming Time Warp show. :)
