The aivi + surasshu show was fantastic. Before they were on, we got some rad chiptunes folks from the local scene, and one other pair up from the Bay Area that had a fun funky transhumanist sci-fi aesthetic. Turns out that this show was the first time aivi + surasshu had played a show outside the Bay Area themselves, which, wow?! We got something special. Aivi was an absolute sweetheart. Surasshu had an amazing glowing hat. We bought merch.
My hopes for SU music were not unmet. They started with a Peridot medley, which was funky and hilarious, and carried on to do several character and fusion themes, and. Get this. Not one, but tHREE SINGALONGS I was in heaven. A whole ton of Vancouver nerds, including (yes) several folks from work, belting out SU music to the accompaniment of the actual composers of that music. As fandom experiences go, it was actually the best.
You know what else they did? A gorgeous pianos-and-chiptunes rendrition of Yuri on Ice. It was everything I never knew I wanted. UGH.
