I wonder how many miles total people are travelling for this opening?

It could be nearly 10,000 I reckon!

I hope to get to James' for about 4:30 for a quick warm-up before the main event.

I'm looking forward to catching up with some familiar faces as well as meeting some of you I haven't seen before.

Bring it on...........

Not really dude, but sure. :)

Rgp's cab has an interesting joystick setup and I just can't seem to get into the groove in it. I can't play my normal 110% commitment style or the cab will start moving!

Isn't it Andy's US Roby cab at the arcade ? pretty sure thats what i've read and I assume its leaf switch sticks (James's cab is Rav's which is a Euro cab which has microswitch jobbies) but i'm sure that cab is at his apartment...

I haven't played a leaf switch Roby for years,i've played James's cab but playing Andy's cab is gonna have a completly differant 'feel' (hopefully for the better so to speak)

Well, today's the day....

We have a few games working, just a few, not many, just a few.

Its a damn, cold room full of smelly wooden machines with strange noises and twinkly lights, the place your mother told you never to go and the place all the other businesses on the street want rid of.

Featuring an ensemble cast of two guys hanging in a darkened corner up to no good possibly passing things to each other, a gnarly change booth attendant staring vacantly at a copy of woman's weekly and a grumpy technician wandering round with a big bunch of keys grumbling about "these kids".

Admission free but you'll lose a part of your soul.

Sounds like the kind of place we all used to hang out in back in the 80's...

Welcome back to the old age in the new era.

*/*/*/*/*/*/*/*/*/*/*/*/*/*/*/*/*/*/*/*/*/*/*********************

Just before the flurry of people arriving and the yells of James can you just.... i'd like to say thanks to (in no particular order):

Mark (singy1uk), Gaz (snap584) & His tribe of helpers, Lez, TonyElyod, Anthony Graham for being unbelievably helpful and going the extra mile or staying the extra 4 hours over the last few weeks to help us get this completed.

We hope you all have a great night tonight.

See you all soon.
