Spotted in the Broadway Arcade at lunchtime today: lead rave-up guitarist for Antietam. Wearing them glasses, them black Levis, that hat.

Machines of choice: pinball. First some baseball thang, then moved down the row a bit toward the Terminator 2 area, tho probably not T2 soi-meme ugh [mebbe there's another baseball machine there?].

Style: super aggressive, real physical, just like you'd imagine a guitarist what contorts on stage the way she does. Tilted it at least once, not this ugly and scary kinda tilt that some people do, just a thoroughly-into-it, this-is-how-to-work-this-thang whoops!-bit-too-much-there type tilt.

Score: I was in the middle of extended Nintendo video baseball workout (over-the-shoulder celebrity-gawking was reason I split double-header hhh), so didn't actually catch the final scores. Seemed to get pretty fair mileage outa the quarters tho.

What's that? Huh? "What's the Broadway Arcade?" Sheesh! Frequented by all manner of RNetters und other hipsters. And Lou Reed got married there!
