looks like january 15th is going to be AI's last day. will definitely try to make it out there a few times after new years. even though i haven't been there as long as most of you, it's been a lot of fun learning and playing and meeting all of you. for the most part, the arcade scene in america is dead relative to almost everywhere else in the world. yet, i haven't had this much fun going to an arcade in years. i would never have dreamed that driving through crazy socal traffic just to spend money and lose constantly would still keep me coming back for more. good times, good games. even though i wasn't able to go as often as i liked (thanks life!), i'll probably still make it out to other arcades that have the game, but without you guys and without the atmosphere, as they say "IT AIN'T GON' BE THE SAME!"
