From The East to the West - From Boston down to San Jose (No I haven't played them all)

Have a long somewhat sad story of moving from Boston where I grew up from 1973- 2010 then Left for California Nov 2010 - present. My Degree was in Music / Sound Recording Technology from U-Mass Lowell. I play guitar and Bass, keys, vocals and drums (in order of expertise) I worked for Spacetec, ATI, Falmouth Community Televsion, Bose, Inland Empire Media Group, and now Intel. I do software test, hardware test, soldering, server setup, network setup WHCK and CTS testing, I got into pinball a few years ago, but always loved arcade machines. I owned a Pac Man Plus, but when I lost the house to the bank due to loss of job in 2009 (Loss in 2010 moved to cali, etc) I ended up giving it to a friend who had done some work and I had expected to pay back. Rebuilding my career after that loss has been quite the challenge, and when I went to the Pinball and Arcade machine convention in Santa Clara last year I realized how much I missed pinball. I use to play Star Trek Next Generation and Addams family when I was growing up at Chaulkie's in Westboro Mass. I played them for hours. I then discovered Haunted house and Black Hole and loved them. Recently I started looking around for machines and places to play and hence - why I am here!!!
