When Free Friday Night Bands return on June 20, look for a few changes behind the scenes. Chris Parsons (right) is taking over the soundboard for the multi-talented Donaven Staab (left). Chris is a great addition to the team, so stop by and welcome him to Friday Nights!  Lighting pro Mark Hersey is still working his magic, creating a dramatic stage set after the sun goes down. You'll still see Donaven around, but his design and technical talents are now dedicated to our website and e-newsletters like this one. |
| San Francisco's Best Arcade Isn't in San Francisco Boardwalk Arcades received a nice review on MTV's website recently. Patrick Klepek raves, "the Boardwalk arcade features a little bit of everything. There are some newer games —an arcade adaptation of Ubisoft's "Blazing Angels" — but it's best known for a larger collection of modern greats — "Marvel vs. Capcom 2," "Star Wars Arcade," etc. — and massive amounts of undeniable classics. And pinball, folks, pinball!" Please tell Patrick what you like best about Boardwalk arcades and maybe offer some advice on best Boardwalk food. http://multiplayerblog.mtv.com/2008/05/22/direct-from-sf-san-francisco-bestarcades/ |
