A letter I received about a night at Chinatown...
I got this in my inbox last night and thought I would share it with you guys. I’m not a super avid arcade gamer by any stretch of the imagination. That being said, one of my favorite nights ever was spent at Chinatown Fair.  My roommates and I were Sophomores at NYU, living on the border of Chinatown and the Financial District at the time. After a particularly rough run, we were all...

Anthony Cali, the traveller
        I saw one of my favorite documentary filmmakers speak once.  An audience member asked if he had ever become friends with subjects in his films.  His reply, in short,  was that he was not there to make friends.  He was there to make movies.  I get what he was saying, yet my experience thus far has been so different.  Not necessarily by choice.  It’s just a product of who I am.  You can’t...

5.10.2011 - Notes From A Kickstarter Project
A few days into the Arcade project launching on Kickstarter I was going over how many donations we needed to hit everyday if we were going to pass our goal.  I was actually obsessed.  I was constantly checking to see if we had any new backers and when we did I felt a jolt of satisfaction and when we didn’t I felt a sense of failure.  This was no way to spend the next month.   After talking to my...

I just came across a blog post that made me smile.
“Every ounce of my being wants this movie to be made. I fell in love with it the moment I read the title and from what I can see from the short video this has the potential to be a real gem. Some of the best memories I have of being a teenager are of all my friends piling into my girlfriends car and spending the 90 dollars I made a week at KFC on arcade games. The Last Night At Chinatown...

4.29.2011 - Notes from a Kickstarter project...
There isn’t a guidebook for funding a project on Kickstarter.  Not that I would follow it if there was.  We are coming up with the next step as we take the last one.  It is some what stressful, but I actually enjoy the challenge.  The goal is concrete and each day there are things that I can do to move towards it.  Plus, there is a lot of great information from people that have gone through...
