A reporter for the Lincoln Journal Star came over to my arcade yesterday and is going to visit a friends as well. They were looking to get a couple more home arcades to beef up the article. If you are interested let me know.
 
Is this just in Nebraska...? Or are they taking photo contributions from elsewhere? I could snap a few tonight of mine, if so... Been meaning to anyway. Phet could provide some good eye candy, as well as many people on here.
 
It is pretty local. I mentioned a town close and they said maybe, but are not going to go to Omaha which is just 60 miles away.

If prices go up I have a baby pacman and an Alien Poker that need to be sold :)
 
Well, make sure you scan that article and post it here when it prints! Cool.
 
Article is pretty good, interesting stories, no reason that those of us locally should get better aquainted. BeerOrKid, I met some of your friends today, they mentioned they knew you well, I work with them, its funny how stories online or in the paper will connect folks!! PS: I need to get some time on your Bride O' PBot....

Are you the omacade guy that works near Tom?

If you are in lincoln come over any time.

It was kind of a bummer that I just do not know many other lincoln arcaders. They contacted me to do a story on just mine and I told them they should find others as well. Made for a much better article.

EDIT: woops I see they hit you as well. Forgot the username. Most definitely need to hook up.

I'm newbe to this forum. It is cool to find other members from Nebraska. I live in Lincoln also.
 
Nice article. It's always good when media coverage of this hobby doesn't portray us a a bunch of freaks of nature... :D

That was pretty cool to share the idea with Micah, I had a blast during the interview. I love how the article turned out, and gave us a pat on the back about being "historians" :D
 
For those of you local, if you pick up the local paper today, the article is in the 402 section, an entire front page...pretty neat
