Emily is making me tell this bit. When we didn’t make it to the African movie the other night, where did we go, she asked? Um, well, we, uh, see the thing is, we ended up at, uh … We went to Avalon, OK?

It’s an arcade, it’s true. But it’s good clean American fun! Plus, some games, like the ever-satisfying Skee-Ball, give you tickets that you can then use to buy cool stuff like my awesome army man paratrooper and Chinese finger traps.

A lot of the games are just a nickel. And they’ve got everything from pinball and air hockey to two we sort of took over: Guitar Freaks and Super Bikes. Try and find a better way to kill an hour.

If you get bored, there are some great bars nearby (we ended up at the Aalto Lounge). Or they have movies, too, though no African ones unfortunately…

Later,
Keith
