Oh.. and, um, if you come to NIMBY instead on the 10th you can, like, build DDI and stuff. I forgot to explain that part. Play with powertools! (Or just paint.. there's a wide range of technical to non-technical stuff that needs to be done).

Welcome back Morley!

One thing I wanted to point out is that while playing in the arcade is certainly gonna be fun, I'd been thinking of it as a productive thing as well.

I personally have four goals for getting everyone to the arcade:

1) Get folks time on the pads. It'll be way easier for folks to give input once they have a handle on how the official original game works.
2) Let Nicole see what sort of steps folks need. It'd suck to have her make a bunch of steps that don't fit the audience. If she can watch what folks can do, she can make steps they can do.
3) Go over the arcade hardware with Ian. This will help with tuning and stuff. Pad feel is weird, it's good to have solid idea of how the arcade one works.

So, I think the field trip is at least kind of important, but obviously having a built and working DDI is probably the priority. I'm amazed we found a day that so many folks can make it, so... Is there any way to make both happen?

Could Saturday be the big work day, and then Sunday be the arcade day? I can be there day and night Saturday.

If that wouldn't give enough time, maybe we could shift arcade day to arcade evening? Could folks show up at Nimby around 10am and work on DDI 'til 4 or 5, at which point we can go down to Milpitas, play DDR in the arcade, and eat the lovely Golfland pizza?

If you can use some hands that can follow directions, I'm in for July 10. Let me know what time to be at NIMBY.
