In the midst of a weekend of many amazing events, far and away, the best find of the weekend was the vintage Bubble Bobble machine Gaia and I got to play together in Mercer.  The machine alone is worth a five-star Yelp rating for the Pines Miniature Golf and Arcade on Highway 51.

Ebay is listing this machine at $500. You might find a worse place to throw half a G.

It was, also, home to the finest deep fried cheese I’ve ever had. Ever.
