Enjoy.

Nice pics, Eric. I see Susie got some good ones. I don't know why I wasn't inclined to take any in the actual arcade room. I guess I was afraid I'd be bugging someone.

Nice picture, Paul, and congrats on your award.

I kept waiting to see Walter play Make Trax but never caught him. I wasn't there on Sunday, which looks like when he signed the machine.
