Hey klov, its been months I figure that I outta pop in and say hi. Still doing well after my intervention and not crazy about hoarding arcades anymore. Staying "in the game" without clearing house but went on a sawzall rampage in the garage and parted maybe 20 cabinets? LOL, ArcRevival would have been running circles and screaming! Hahaha 
I'm very sad that I missed CAX but it was not possible for me to make it out. Damn, that would have been the 5th year in a row!! I did make it to the Seattle show and that was actually fun for me. The thought of arcades had made me sick for so long that I wasn't sure if I would even enjoy it.
I'm doing ok, trying to get and keep my head above the water as the economy is getting worse. I still have a job, thankfully survived a few rounds of cuts, but I took a cut in pay and benefits costs have risen through the roof as the government is forced to reduce its footprint. I live in paranoia now almost not thinking if but when does the sh-t really hit the fan??
Anyways, I was reading/skimming some posts and am very broken up about Luna City being no more!!! Peter was my initial inspiration to go nutso in the hobby, the old housecade setup he had.
In many ways Peter and ZFCamaro have pretty much ruined my life and I had a very bad mental sickness for a long time! I'm still just around the threshold of 40 machines. I had to clean up my life, now you can walk through my house not through isles, have actual seating for more than 4 people can sit, 99% are working and very cool games not some lame conversions. I recently let some grails go, but financially I had to do it and its great to know now that the world won't stop spinning if you sell a hard to find unique game that nobody else around you has.
Only thing arcade related I've really done lately other than the Seattle show is had a party a few weekends ago for a buddy who has cancer and needed an uplifting day instead of suffering. 2 of the 4 Daytona machines died and now need repair! A few of the local klov guys made it out and I am very appreciative that they'd make the trek out to my house to enjoy the games and support Rick when his spirits are suffering.
What else is new in KLOV world that I should know about???
