Jared from GameTap here. I'm making the trek from San Francisco to Arcade Infinity this weekend for the next entry in my "No Country for Old Arcades" feature, detailing the last great arcades in the US.
From the looks of it, I'll be hanging around both Friday and Saturday night, taking photos and interviewing the folks in charge, though I could use some help. The feature is all about telling the story of the arcade and I can't really do that without the regulars input. I've been to AI more times than I can count, but not so much in the past year or so. I'm just looking for some folks to chat with about the place, why its important to you and all that good stuff.
So if you see me hanging around, feel free to bug me or just send me a PM through here and we can hang out.
Also, check out the first two articles while you're at it. They have the blessing'o'Eddie, so they must be good!
Does AI still has Shakka To Tambourine? I think it's the last one in the US at this point.
Yes they do, but it's been off for quite a long time

alkaline, you are gonna be here this friday and saturday?
Yup. I don't have exact times, but I really don't have anything else better to do now than be at AI. Friday night ... sometime late, probably around 8-9pm. Saturday though I'll probably be there earlier to take pictures while there's still daylight and all. I should be staying late each night though, as long as my wallet permits it ;o

the parking should be letting up by then by 8-9pm, hopefully
friday parking is not as bad as saturdays. on saturdays it sometimes takes 15+ minutes to find parking during peak hours (730-9ish). after 10 it's usually pretty easy.
ill probably be there early on friday... need my dm fix since i cant get that dtx i was looking at from craigslist. =(
as far as iidx i got my new setup going, check the iidx setup thread soon. basically its a ghetto ass makeshift iidx machine on a computer desk. i play the same way as at AI now, i stand in my dining area like a douchebag when i play.
