Ground Kontrol to Major Vac

[virtvic]

I've been frequent this place in the last few days.

Met up with a fellow podcaster Kevin Savetz from the Antic (atari 8 bit podcast) and author of http://www.terriblenerd.com/

Kevin and his lovely wife took us for breakfast and then ferried us around Portland.

We drove to a Goodwill. Probably the biggest ever 2nd hand place you'll ever see.

Kevin spotted a vcs controller very quickly...

We then went to this arcade retailer and the guy I spoke with was very interesting to speak to...

More to follow tomorrow sometime and I have some videos of Ground Kontrol to upload to toobface too.

Nice. That's Clay Cowgills place right?

 

[virtvic]

alpha - really? *American accent* "I did not know that"

 

[ColinD]

Yes... thats Clays place... see if you can hook up with him....

Looks awesome Vic.

Good work Vic. Glad someone is out there "representin'" (is that what the kids say these days?)

 

[virtvic]

I may contact them and see if Clay is about...

 

[virtvic]

Forgot to say -, the guy I spoke to at the coin op place mentioned Mr.Andy Geezer's name when I spoke to him.

That 2nd hand place looks awesome too.

I'm in Spokane right now for a wedding, but then onto Seattle, where there are at least 3 arcades for me to report back on...

 

[dlightbulb]

Awesome!

 

[LukeWells]

Vic! It looks like you must be having an awesome time over there!

Ground Kontrol looks great. I'd love to see that place one day

Oh yeah - the dragon's lair had an 'out of order' sign slapped on it. Some things never change!
