dave2: but she lives on in our hearts.
karen: oooh, through the nose? so sorry!
shari: if only you had been there – we could’ve done a duet! and YES, dustin can not only sing, he can sang!
asia: ah, i totally remember the high fives.
petev: i got to see it, but only because i was playing against the pinball wizard herself.
laurel: well, i know we were up there for what seemed like 15 minutes… but i’m not sure if there’s some special part of the song that we missed.
communicatrix: see dustin’s comment below.
claire: i’m going to need a private lesson in DDR – the arrows were totally confusing me!
don: aha! i figured as much!
vahid: thanks for the surprise text! and i definitely need to get better at hustling on ms. pacman.
mocha: add it to the list, my friend! i’d love to!
dustin: now, i would never call you a no testicled josh groban. i think we established that i have no idea who josh groban is. and luckily for me… no one reads the comments on old posts so that video will remain a secret. why didn’t anyone tell me i was a baritone?

Wow. Calling me a no testicled Josh Groban all in the same post. You know, I could try and get even by posting some horribly embarrassing video of you delivering a flawless performance of "Shoop" by Salt-N-Pepa, but that would be beneath me.

Yes, definitely beneath me.

Girl, you are my heroine. I long to go on business trips and meet up with folks and drink and play video games until the wee hours of the morning.
You’ve never sang for/with me. I have put that on The List. The RunJenRun List of Fun Things To Do.
Not necessarily to be done in Chicago.

You totally carried us on the duet Jenny. I have the singing voice of a wounded beagle. And can I just say that if you work on your Ms. Pacman hustling a bit you can probably go home with more money than you came to Portland with, next time.
P.S. Thanks for letting me sneak you out on Monday.

Me? Lefty? Yes. Qix was only in a few arcades because it drove people insane.

Sounds excellent!
For pinball, I recommend Haunted House (though I don’t know if they have that anywhere anymore). I often got free games off it. Look for a game with multiple levels. That way when you’re in the basement, there’s no risk of losing your ball and it’s all bonus scoring.
DDR can be tough if the music isn’t loud enough. Step to the music, not the arrows lining up. Also it doesn’t matter if you step on or leave your foot on wrong arrows while stepping on the right one. Sometimes that helps. I love DDR.

Wait–NO ONE thought to capture any of this on cameraphone video?
Fffft. I may seriously have to reconsider the fittingness of you guys calling yourselves citizen journalists.
Oh, wait–never mind…

What fun! But did you guys do the *whole* version of “Paradise”?

The Addams Family is one of the best pinball machine of all time. Did you get to see The Hand?
