I remember working at a snack-bar inside the lobby/arcade of a pga-mini golf place when i was in high school. NBA JAM was driving me totally insane. "HE'S ON FIRE!!", and "BOOM SHAKALAKA!" "FACIAL" + other screaming loud phrases were on a 30 second loop all day - everyday in the otherwise kinda quiet room. The old school arcade sounds like a trip.

I don't know how blowing on the games made them work, or if it really did anything either, but man it at least gave piece of mind and then you could just play the games until they stopped working again. Its crazy how much has changed since just the 80's and 90's... Channing I’m right on with ya.

That place is great. Everyone go check out Just Be, right next door to Ground Kontrol, they have the sickest clothes, art, kicks, and dvds. 5th grade was the best. It was all no cell phones, riding bikes everywhere, avoiding 6th graders, drinking Capri Suns, and being really scared of our girlfriends. Ground Kontrol! That place is great.

Before I finally got a cell phone, my parents got me a pager. I think that was the dumbest invention ever. Someone would call it and then you would have to go search for a phone. They made absolutely no sense... I love your blog, Channing! And by the way, nice three pointer last night! How about pagers/beepers?! Before I finally got a cell phone, my parents got me a pager.
