Grkle, the Predator and a prototype Duck Hunt pinball machine are coming from a new company. They only did 250 Predators, this will probably be the only one you see. There should be 2 or 3 Wizard of Ozs with the latest code, 3 or 4 of the new Metallica pinball games, plus some rare stuff like a giant Hercules pinball game, Joust pinball, Defender pinball and more. Lots of cool and rare stuff this year. And probably over 400 games by show time!

The bigger harm of the vandalism is the much larger march for worker's rights and immigration reform got zero media coverage as a couple dozen flashier and more exciting vandals and anarchists grabbed all the media attention.

@ #34, I've known a couple cops and my grandfather was a police officer. I work with police officers fairly regularly, at least a couple times a month. I said nothing of abusive behavior, you jumped to a lot of conclusions when I disagreed with the comment that they are just like you and me. I'm talking about the psychology behind someone that enters law enforcement. They tend to be more authoritarian types of people. There has been plenty of research and academic papers written about the personality traits of people that go into law enforcement and the effects of working in law enforcement on people.

"The vast majority of police officers are just like us"

I don't buy this for a second. A certain kind of asshole becomes a police officer, you have to enjoy asserting rules and authority on others, and a few years into the job changes many of them to more callous and judgmental people. Can't we hate both the police and the little shits that broke the windows of local indie businesses? I don't see why we have to support one or the other. Now if the kids had smashed the windows of police cars instead of local businesses, I'd be giving them props today.

When "anarchists" break more windows of independent local businesses than corporate businesses, they really are stupid teenagers and not anarchists at all.

"That was fun last night breaking windows guys, but now I need to call my dad and find out why this month's allowance hasn't come yet, my rent is due!"

I'm pretty sure it's the trailer that features those interviews, the film features a ton more interviews, bands, songs, photographers and people.

The 2 Bit and Kraken are definitely carrying on the torch, although they are North of the channel, so completely off the Stranger's radar. Also neither snag quite the caliber and diversity of bands Brian Foss did at Funhouse. I can't see The Avengers, The Freeze, etc. playing either.

Where else am I going to wrestle in mashed potatoes and gravy, dressed as Santa Claus, against a rollergirl dressed as Mrs. Claus? It's a crying shame I tell you.
