KAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHNNNNNNN!!!!!
Hi,
My world has just gotten a little less happy.
Good Times Emporium is closing!
Apparently, their landlord said -- "We're putting in a furniture store. You've gotta be out by June 30th."
Words cannot express my sadness...well, actually they can.
Good Times Emporium is an arcade/sports bar/pool hall/laser tag/go kart track all under one huge roof. It's a delightfully ghetto place where they have children's birthday pizza parties at 11pm at night.
It also has skeeball.
You know, skeeball. Bowl a little wooden ball down a lane, it pops up and you try and get it into a high-scoring hole, you get tickets based on your overall score? Skeeball. Good Times has lots of skeeball and a wide selection of cheap, tacky crap you need a million prize tickets to claim.
Skeeball is also a the ultimate tool of seduction. If I take a girl out to play skeeball, I'm eventually going to bed with her. Maybe not that very date, but eventually. It makes perfect sense really -- if you're the kind of girl who likes playing skeeball, you've got a fun, playful streak that complements mine and when two fun, playful people have exhausted the entertainment in skeeball...they come up with other things to do.
Man, now I totally need to take a bunch of girls out to play skeeball with me before Good Times closes.

You should get the boy to take you! Y'know, I can't remember if Ten Minute Walk has skeeball...or if it's even open anymore...

And they've got pictures of skeeball in their gallery...

Like a good craftsman, I have many tools of seduction in my toolbox.
But I'll totally take you out for skeeball if you'd like. :)

I have a ton of Good Time tokens. If I can find them tonight, maybe I should plan on going tomorrow.

They said they have to be out by June 30th and the website still lists a WWE event on the 29th. So I assume they're closing the 29th or 30th.

Here's the DIY knife in the back. That furniture store? IKEA.
Sweedish bastards!

I bet they'd do it if you got enough people behind you.
