Well, I planned to head there tonight. I'll bring my "repair kit" (i.e. my screwdriver, wd40 and business cards). Ron, will you be there to vouch for me that I'm not there to break their machine?

Edit:
Guess I won't be going tonight. I got distracted with Reach tonight. I'm planning for tomorrow.

No. Ii have to work shortly. But keep your eye out for daryll he might be therer

I went last night and did some maintenance. The 2P side was an easy fix. The bracket above the inner sensor on the DOWN arrow had the screws loose and the bracket wasn't even pushing down onto the sensor. I proceeded to fix the problem, then tested it by AAA'ing Love Shine on heavy...Fixed.

The 1P side was a bit more mysterious. I was getting a few weird misses on the UP arrow, but everything seemed to be fine inside the pad. I opened it up and noticed that the tech had put two folded business cards under each sensor. I suspect that this might have made the sensor bow a bit too much, so I reduced the number of business cards to 1. I didn't get much of a chance to test it out thoroughly, but I did get 1g on Waka Laka, and I was able to play an entire set without noticing a pad error. So I'm going to assume it's at least OK now.

I'll be here tuesday to play after I get done bowling unless I end up quitting the league. Then i'll be playing at six. If I do bowl. I'll play around nine

Rules have been posted for the Round 1 qualifier:

I just wanted to note that if you put your machine up there, Tony and I would go play it. Everett is about as much of a pain to get to as Tukwila for us, but with the difference in traffic flow, there are some times when it's easier to go North than South. Plus, Extreme + ITG in the same place = awesome.

Heh that would be awesome to get more people playing here. I'm just really hoping that something would get worked out if they decide to go for it

Yeah, I still haven't talked with anyone yet about ITG2. I keep telling myself I need to get my ducks in a row before I go down there with a proposal, but I keep finding myself getting tied up doing other things. I'm hoping one of these days I just happen to meet the guy there while I'm playing and I can discuss it with him impromptu. That's how I like to do things like that.

yea, well if u do decide to try and get it there, he has been staying there later and later till like 7ish cause i see him both days that late when i have my bowling leagues there tuesdays and thursdays.

I'll be stopping in this evening to play. Hopefully I can get AAA #79, and maybe even AAA #80 tonight!

heh, wish i could be there tonight, but silvertips are playing and i won't get done there till like ten to eleven, butnext week, i should be there on friday

I'm probably going to be stopping by tonight for a few sets. Is anyone else going to be there?

i'll be there for a little bit

Damn, some things came up. I won't be able to make it tonight.

Anon and I will be attending the tourny tomorrow.

I shall film what I can, as usual.. Should have lots of opportunity after bein' eliminated round 1 >=]

Why do you think you'll get eliminated so fast? You're not a bad player and I honestly feel like you have a chance to place in the top 3.

Good luck tomorrow, I'll see everyone there @ 1:30.

i'll be there around noon just for the hell of it

Hi, im Daegan and im a casual player, who can do most 9 foot DDR songs on heavy. I met some of you at the tournament on the 9th, I live right by evergreen lanes so if anyone wants someone to DDR with, at evergreen lanes, you can hit me up. I'm free pretty much all the time.

Welcome Deagan. It was awesome to meet you at the tournament. Thank you for attending. Keep an eye on this thread from time to time. I know Ron (crazyice85) regularly posts when he will be at Evergreen in this thread. I hope to see you more in the future.

Hey, so I've finally joined up with the forums! Thanks for the quick posting of the videos from the competition. I'm Stephen from the tournament (pronounced as steven), I really enjoyed the competition and look forward to catching you guys around the machine in the future.

While I'm thinking about it, I had a question for the Evergreen lanes regulars. A couple months ago when I went into Evergreen in the afternoon, the whole arcade was turned off, does anyone know why that would have been and does that happen often?

Welcome to the forums Stephen.

I've seen the machine unplugged a few times in the past, but never the whole arcade without power. Maybe they turned the breaker switch off to that room for some reason?

Btw, if you ever go in there and the DDR machine is unplugged, just plug it back in. It's usually perfectly fine to play, but some of the pinball or billiards players will unplug the machine because it annoys them.

I was there once when this happened. They turn the machines off at night, and don't turn them back on until someone uses them in the morning.

Just ask the employee at the counter to turn them on.

Ron, when's the best days to go to Evergreen if I want to avoid a huge crowd in the arcade? I'd prefer to go on Tue and Thu around 6:30 in the afternoon, but in the last few weeks, Evergreen Lanes seems to be a very busy place.

yea, in the fall all the way through april, there's leagues going on every night, but the slowest nights are monday and sunday nights, tuesdays through saturday the leagues usually take over the whole ally and they bring their kids who take over the arcade pretty much untill 9:30 then they got their dollar bonanza and bowl n glow stuff going on, but everyone usually concentrates on those things, as for the arcade in the morning, yea if everything is off, just ask the desk to turn everything on and they will no problem
