I interviewed for the coach position of the newly approved eSports team for the high school yesterday…I was offered the position today.

I also just filed all the paperwork for the after school Gaming Club to continue this year and that was given the green light too.

The arcade is open tomorrow night.

I am super busy, but that’s not a bad thing.

Unfortunately, the arcade was not able to open on Wednesday. Most of the people in my house got the stomach bug and turned the house into a toxic wasteland…

Next week the Gaming Club will start and next month the arcade will open. At least I already have the games that will be swapped out planned.

I haven’t been updating this thread very much lately. I had my best friend pass away and just after his funeral I had another funeral to go to a week later. He will be missed greatly, but he doesn’t have pain anymore and that is good.

Gaming club is back in full swing and has grown considerably in the popularity the last few weeks…adding half a dozen more kids each week. Today we were at 19! Also, someone donated a Mario Kart steering wheel to me so we put that to use today.

I have had a few people who have made some donations to me for the Gaming Club and the arcade in recent months and they have been appreciated greatly. I have actually been amazed at the generosity that has been shown this last year. I can’t say enough how grateful I am.

I finished working on a machine for someone local and he requested for me to teach him the process as I fix his next machine. In exchange for imparting knowledge he picked up a cheap cabinet project that I had mentioned I was interested in and delivered it to me when he picked up his game. It’s a Silver Strike Bowling cab that was converted to a pedestal cab. I already have a full SSB cab that everyone loves. This project doesn’t have a game in it. I will use this project to install my 2l6b panel I previously purchased but couldn’t bring myself to use and take such a popular game out of the arcade. This project should end up being a pretty nice fighting cab which I have really been wanting to add to the lineup.

This past Wednesday the arcade was open and we had a decent turnout. 32 people came out to play. 10 were people that hadn’t been here before…

18 at Gaming Club this week. This is looking like the new normal number of kids coming to play which is double what was there last year. Excellent!

My daughter is the one who looks bored lol.

Haven’t posted a lot lately. I just have a lot of crazy stuff going on at home that consumes a lot of time. Esports and Gaming Club are still running real strong. I’m averaging 23 kids at Gaming Club every week as compared to last year I had averaged 8-10!

Tonight I opened the arcade for a New Year’s Eve party. Started at 6pm and is going on until 12:30. Lots of people brought lots of food and we had 30 people show up in the first 15 minutes! Still got 4 hours left…
