Hey Chicago people!
I was thinking about organizing a little FIXED GEAR FORUM get together on the 23rd of Aug for the showing of Star Wars in Grant Park.
Anyone in for meeting up?
It starts around 8:30 but I'm going to scout out a spot around 6:15.
We can trade Chewy figurines, read our soiled Star Wars comix & comsume copious amounts of booze.
Talking TO the screen will be totally permitted as will reciting line by line.
Let me know...

Ya, we can go to a bar afterwards and reenact the Cantina scene.
If I ever get a place with a basement, I'm going to find the Star Wars arcade game.

Night of the hunter is tonight. Thinking about going dressed as Rev. Powell to snarl at children with reckless abandon and bourbon breath.

It was the one where you were in the X-Wing trying to blow up the Death Star. Great game. I need to buy one.

I just saw one on eBay for $3k.
Then another sold BIN for $1600.
That thing must be heavy....
All I need is a bungalo in the belt and a basement full of old arcade games...

but you'd better upgrade the electricity in the bungalow. My brother-in-law had to get rid
of his Tron game. Couldn't play it without blowing a fuse

For arcade games I knew some people that bought from these guys:

They have a ton of games and they even have original Pong uprights:

I saw a nice Playboy pinball machine there I wish I could get someday. . .
