I was there at 7pm or so on Monday and holy hell there were a lot of kids running around everywhere. It was more like a daycare than an arcade. It was so bad I had to leave after only playing one set. Maybe I can try to get there a bit earlier some days (6pm) to avoid the rush.

Wow. I never heard of monday being that bad at all.

Opps, I meant Sunday, not Monday.

Yeah, it can be pretty tough to play with all those kids running around, the other day I had 2 families with several little tiny kids watching me for like half an hour. the must have been "league wifes" or something.

Figured I'd ask here, since Evergreen is my usual location now. I've had problems at previous establishments when bringing in Gatorade or other bottled beverages due to a "no outside food or beverage" policy. Should I worry about this at Evergreen? Up until now, I've just kept my drink in the car, but that always shortens the length of my playtime.

Na. Its not a problem at all. I bring my own drinks in all the time and they never say anything to me at all. Even the owner saw all us playing at the tourney and didn't say anything at all about my drinks or scott bringing in his box of trail mix. But if you do end up having a problem at all just let me know since I know everyone that works there since i've only been bowling and playing in the arcade  there for twenty two years. . . Lol heck. This is where I learned how to play back on third mix  =-O

I'm probably going to go play this afternoon/evening. Anyone else planning on going?

All depends on how bowling goes for me today. But even if I get money from bowling I haven't had much sleep so i'd prob suck lol

I'm probably gonna get there around 8pm.

hey suko, just wondering how things are going with you and your machine and the talks of maybe getting it into evergreen

I've heard hardly anything from Brian. I sent him an email two weeks ago and didn't hear anything, so I sent him another requesting the earnings stats for the DDR machine. He replied 5 days ago saying he'd get me that info, but so far nothing. I'll be honest, I have the old-school business mentality of having good communication is paramount. I might just be a guy with an arcade machine, but I'm really getting fed up with people and the utter lack of communication skills they seem to have. If you see him, PLEASE have him get back to me.

I don't want to be the one to continually have to call or email him just to get the information I need. And if, eventually, I will be relying on him to pay me for my share of the revenue, being this bad about getting back to me doesn't exactly gain my trust and confidence in him.

i'll be there today if anyone else is up for going, i'll be playing after bowling which will be around 6ish

Sorry, but my Dad's staying at my place, so I won't be by tonight. Perhaps next weekend though.

@BluesS
I updated the status of this arcade in the article, but the first post doesn't seem to have changed...is this supposed to happen?

Hey. So the sound on our machine isn't working and it just started today. So anyone know why this mightbe?

You beat me to it. Dan and I went there last night to play and noticed that it's completely mute. I don't know if they turned it all the way down for some dumb reason, or if the wires to the speakers were disconnected. I asked the front desk people and they had no idea why it was like that.

When they finally do fix it, would someone post here so I'll know? Thanks.

PS, it's doubtful my machine is going to be put here. I've tried communicating with Bryan, but it's just been very slow and it certainly hasn't filled me with the confidence needed to put my machine in that establishment.

Its good to go now. And I belueve from what I heard about brian is hes fighting with the banks about getting a loan to completely buy the ally from darryl. So I think when that gets sorted out you might be able to get all his attention.

Dang dude. You seriously beat me to it every time. I just went in there 30 minutes ago and just logged in to report that everything seemed OK.

Ill be playing tonight. Ill be there at like 6

Went there last Friday night (2-4-11) and the volume was really low. It's not unplayable, but it was pretty dang hard to hear, especially when the place gets busy. I hope they bump it up soon.

alright, went in last night and played a game after bowling and they had the volume back up

Dude...has it taken this long for the volume to get back up, or has no one visited since my last post?

I found out they did it shortly after  I let them know. Ive just been working alot to beplaying. But its good to go

Going to play a bunch tomorrow after I get done bowling which will be around 6. Anyone up for a meetup toplay?

I'm occupied for the next 5-7 days while my parents are in town.
