Severe weather in WV and parts of Ohio cause me to move ahead to Cincinatti OH metro area: Arcade Legacy for site 60!
Our thoughts and prayers are with those in the afore mentioned areas
Ps
I'm sure I'll be this way again to reschedule.

Site 60 rollover.

Visited 3 potentials that we're not operating.
Drove through WV/Ohio tornado that still has power out to much of the region.
Our thoughts and prayers should be with folks in the area

Site 61
As part of the ongoing Summer Camp 2012 events, Star Worlds arcade presents-
Lonnie McDonald’s Joust tour playing in the original location where Twin Galaxies operated in Ottumwa Iowa. Making an attempt to beat a Joust World Record, too.
A video game event hasn’t occurred at the original site of Twin Galaxies since the 80’s, so this should be a fun little home-coming. And just in time to celebrate the 30th Anniversary of the Joust release in 1982!
If you are near Ottumwa, stop by after 8am central on Saturday, July 14th.
Live streaming should be available at- http://www.justin.tv/lmcdonald111
If you don’t know about Twin Galaxies, this video will give you an example of the excitement generated inside that location during the early 80s- http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7SxgdpudDW

Wait... are you going to Funspot or Iowa?
Funspot had the first competitive arcade tournament in 1979, Walter always seems to forget that... LOL
All said... amazing progress on your tour sir! Nashvillian sent me your ideas, we should talk!

My first response to that question is:
So the achievement is qualified in your mind by what I do or do not do for a living?
My second more thoughtful answer is it really doesn't make any difference.
