Today was kinda boring with hours and hours of paperwork for the liquor license, calls to companies for game parts and more paperwork.....

But.... the fun part was finally seeing things piece together with the mini cranes being filled!

Mom and I killed it today!!

And here I am fixing the WORKING game we just picked up! 🙃
Fixed the broken wire...

Need to order a sensor and a power supply....

I hope the other working ones work better than this one!

When someone with a lift gate puts a 600lb game in the bed of the truck and you decide its "future you's problem" to try and figure out how to get it out....

What could go wrong?

We've been on the road since 6am picking up some goodies and we are spent.... but while fueling, this shows up and puts a smile on our tired faces.

Happy Saturday everyone!

Life as an arcade owner.....

(See, I actually DO things)

I'm too short to reach in and clean the glass... don't judge me...

Ok peanut gallery, want to try and help decorate?
First opinion needed....

See this red and black section of the wall?

See the white moldings around the entrance to the old fitting rooms?

There will be a black curtain inbetween there.

I'd rather not have black or red paint on those moldings because then red touches red and black touches black and my brain cant handle that.

Who has color suggestions that go with the red and black. White is acceptable too if you think its best because thats where I am leaning, but I wanted to ask you all and see what you think!

We've been pretty quiet here but we are still alive!
Spent the last week working on getting things more setup, cleaning, painting, assembling games, shampooing some office carpets, and more.

While we DONT have an opening date yet, we are working super hard to get open as soon as possible!!

In the mean time, check out what we did today!!

We had to lay this motion theater down to get it in the doors but unfortunately havent been able to stand it up since its too heavy and we couldn't get the fork lift in.

So the engineer had an idea and I hid while he tested it out.

See how it went!
