We will have David Hernly out and about ranking high scores on the arcades.

As a heads up, we just received confirmation that we'll have a few of the new Stern pinball machines at Freeplay, which includes the Tron Legacy! There's a lot stirring and it's a week away so if you can managed to come out on the 27th I'd suggest it.
