California Extreme pinball and arcade expo
A little video to memorialize our trip to California Extreme!
Last weekend, I brought my trusty digital camera to the California Extreme classic arcade and pinball convention in San Jose, CA.
Set to the music of the New Pornographers, this shaky-hand footage is from Saturday, July 19, 2008, at Parkside Hall. Marvel at the throngs of arcade enthusiasts! Balk at Revenge from Mars and Cactus Canyon! Be astounded by Top Skater and Lucky Hand! And witness much, much more!

Well into the Spring and Summer Geek Events Season in the Bay Area, San Jose this weekend hosts "California Extreme" - "the 'Classic Arcade Games Show'.", "an annual celebration of coin operated pinball machines, video games and other novelties you once found in game arcades.
