Am I the first to say it? I'm in! Probably for two people.

Bump for the weekend crowd

I really hope this happens, I'd totally be there. In case it wasn't obvious from my post, like, two posts ago.

The first "Gene" wasn't the Gene in the band - he was just there, doing his Gene thing.

The event was awesome. Jared, you did a great job putting this together! We got to play the KISS pins quite a bit, and while I'm certainly not near the pro (nor critic) that a lot of folks here are, I thought the dots and overall state of play on the software was pretty solid. They were running 0.95, and aside from some places where the videos looked a little like they were in fast forward, it looked good. The playfield is rich in "things to do" that aren't just ramp after ramp, and the artwork... holy crap, what I wouldn't do to have one of these machines.

Major kudos to the ones that brought the other machines as well; we played everything there at least once. I really enjoyed the Sega Mary Shelley's Frankenstein - it had good gameplay, I thought. I enjoyed the Capt. Card, although it was unlevel, making it even harder to get points.

The band was really very good! The Gene character, in particular, did a fantastic job of mimicking Gene's mannerisms, singing style, posture, EVERYTHING, but they were all pretty good. The setlist has almost all of the classic hits, and some deep stuff, too, including some Ace Frehley solo stuff (Snow Blind, an awesome tune). There were a lot of callouts to the KISS Alive albums in singing style, intros etc. These guys have really done their homework. I'd totally go see them again. And remember, they only have two less original members than the real band does now.

Thank you again, Jared, for having this event! We had a blast!
