I went to an event this morning that I thought was going to be cool, but I had no idea! The HAAG 2004 Arcade EXPO!!!!!!
was freaking awesome... I'd swear I was 10 again! There were tons of video and pinball games there most from the 80s all on free play or so full of credits it didn't matter. They had the room lights turned down low and loud music playing mostly 80s and techno. There I was playing Dragon's Layer jamming to some U2 and I realized I was smiling so hard my teeth had dried out. The realization almost brought a tear to my eye. It was further enhanced by the fact that Dade was there and he was digging it too... I played Tempest, Asteroids, Space Invaders, Robotron, Berzerk, Tron, Moon Patrol, Crazy Climber!!!!, Donkey Kong, Track and Field... the list goes on... it was so good... I did not want to leave... My friend G was there allong with J & J kis kids... to great, V.COOL! i.am.samu.80s.geek.and.I.love.it!
On a sad note I just heard that Ronald Reagan has died. As I watch some of the news coverage they are rehashing the legacy of his Presidency... this has got to be bad news for the Dems. It's obvious that he was bad ass, his policies were bad ass, everything he did worked. He started with sky high inflation complete flip by his 8th year. The air traffic controllers threatened to strike ... what did he do? Fire their ass! Good! I mean come on he ended the cold war! President Reagan thank you for everything, you will be missed!
