Anyone in the Bay Area interested in letting an East Coast dude visit your arcade??

On my way to SF today, spending a night or two in town then heading over to Mountain View for a few more days.. Hopefully going to hit the Pacific Pinball Museum, maybe the Pier.. But would love to visit some private collections.. Kinda interested in seeing some of the many games I've helped restore or fix with the tons of parts I've sold over the years!

I reached out a year or two ago when I was in Austin TX for SXSW and I met half a dozen of klov members and coin-op collectors.. Maybe I can meet some while I'm here.. Don't worry, I won't scare your kids.. Steal your wife.. Raid your medicine cabinet or steal your booze.. Even took a shower, so no stinky dude here :)

So SF, Mountain View, and San Jose are where I'll be till Monday afternoon.. Hope to hear from you guys! Shoot me a pm or email: vintagefreak(at)gmail.com

Thanks
 
You should try to check out Playland Not at the Beach tonight. It's open from 6pm-10pm tonight only and adults only. There's usually less than 10 people there and 30 pins on free play with a bunch of weird stuff to look at. I'll probably be there tonight. I don't recommend going on weekends as there are lots of kids and it's $15 instead of $10.

If you're in Mountain View, you should try and get to the Computer History Museum as well. It's in the old SGI headquarters, and is pretty nice.

Hey Pete, if you're ever in Seattle, especially over a weekend, give me a yell. My schedule permitting I'd be happy to throw an arcade party for you and invite all the local collectors (the SMAC group; many of them are KLOVers as well). My current collection is listed here.

We could make a trip to Dorky's Bar Arcade in Tacoma too. That games list is out of date for them. They have more games now, and are great about getting in all the newer Stern pins.
 
Thanks for the ideas and PMs! Have a little more traveling left, in Dallas now drinking shiner and eating bad nachos.. Hopefully be in SF by 6:30pm :)
