Hello there! What a month it has been since my last post! Been busy with stuff, work is getting busy too around this time of year... and lookie lookie! I went to the Yestercade Meetup!

(Video below this writeup!)

So to start off I started my journey that morning driving and talking with -Squidly and other members of the meetup discord just talking about how we could best abduct @mindchamber from his home-- sadly that plan fell through as he was apparently busy with a commision and I had to pass by him on the way. I ended up accidently about 50minutes over and ended up in Jersey City by mistake (oopsies) and doubled back to my original location that was Somerville, NJ.

Somerville NJ is apparently a very upscale town with lots of business and apartments for rent up in the $3000/mo! I was able to get parked in one of their set aside spaces and walked on over to the little pedestrian walk through where the arcade was located at and metup with @Raviolibox and other NewGrounders as well. Since I am apart of the NG MoneyGang circle I did a bit of magic to show off how cool I was and turned one of the gang into a dog! (They approved of this, the consent forms are on file!) :P

As the meetup gathered, we got to work on some sketchbook vandalism. :)

Some went to get some food, others went to go get get their wristband passes for the arcade. You'll see more of that in the video, as I don't have a lot of space for pictures. But after checking out all the games and shooters and HUGE pinball collection, there was a commotion outside!

Tom Fulp came! After the big photos with the NG Flag (salute) he got dragged off kicking and screaming to get food at a sushi place. Someone will probably have a little write up about that as I didn't go with them. @brandybuizel instead dragged me and a few others to eat some icecream. I don't have pictures sadly as I was eating said ice cream. It was really really good! Thanks Brandy!

Afterwards Tom and gang came back to the commons.

Then I got to follow him around for about two hours as we played video games. I personally got some time with him playing Terminator 2, but we both sucked at it. :P

Anyway, here is the video (unlisted for my sanity), and I hope we all get together again next year! I highly highly recommend Yestercade. Very fun place!
