This is already on my Vectrex radar. :wink: I'm thinking I will go but I'm not certain just yet. If I did go, I would buy a one-day ticket for the Saturday. It might be a couple more weeks before I can make solid plans. I'll let you know.

Arcade Expo time of year again.

November 78th and 8th. I'd forgotten it was already time until Redline reminded me. Sort of planning now, hopefully I don't contract the plague like last year.

We're also looking to catch Interstellar in 35mm on Friday night (Nov. 7th) at the Alamo Drafthouse Mason Park location.

Ah, this sounds awesome. If I was still in Austin, i'd maybe be able to manage getting to Houston but since I moved to North Texas, it's a bit much of a drive. If I had a buddy to go down there with, i'd probably consider it.

I might be tied up at a family bday party but can possibly manage to slip away.

Do we have a tentative head count on RB members showing up?

At this point it just seems like me and Redline. Movie is at 8 at the Mason Alamo location.

Aw damn. If I wasn't going to be in Chicago Monday thru next Sunday I would totally be down. 35mm Interstellar sounds awesome!

Most of my pictures were taken holding my camera up over my head and I wasn't steady enough in the dark for them to be all that great. But here's some nice pinball machines.

I picked up a few more marquees. The R-Type II was a thin sheet style and a little beat up, was free with the others.
