If you can help to do so, you may want to avoid putting yourself within close proximity of the Staples Center during the end of a championship basketball game, especially when the Lakers end up winning that game.

Police in helicopters.
Police everywhere. No exaggeration.
Video games Live.
Though I arrived a hour late and left probably a hour later, it was quite impressive especially this one girl who played the flute while dressed like Link from Zelda and this one dude who played a medley of Mario Brothers tunes on the piano as well as took request from the audience.
I was only able to take like 2 blurry pics from my iPhone.
oops.

I went to Video Games Live a couple ears ago on and it's kind of an interesting story. I was reading a newspaper and noticed an ad for a Halo 3 tournament at an FYE in downtown Chicago. The winner would get tickets to the VGL on November 15 (my b day). I told my brother about it and we both went to double our chances. We thought there was gonna be a big turnout but in all only 4 people showed up. In the free-for-all match my bro took 1st place and I took 2nd. Then we played 1v1 for a chance to go on stage at the concert. I ended up beating him. Because only 4 people showed up we all got tickets to the show. Me and my bro got 4 tickets each and the other 2 guys got 2 tickets. After I won I found out that I would be playing Space Invaders on stage with a live orchestra. The show was pretty cool, there was the guy playing mario on the piano(I think they said he was famous from YouTube), the orchestra played a lot of great songs and a local band who sung the Portal song which was my favorite part. Anyway when I went on stage the host told me that when I played Space Invaders that I had to run across the stage to move my tank. In the end I lost and if I would have won I would have gotten a home arcade system. The host told me to stick around after the show and talk to him but I forgot and walked out of the theater and security wouldn't let me back in. All in all it was a fun time.
