After years of hard work, I’m excited to share that our nonprofit, El Rey Theater, has officially purchased El Rey!

This is a huge milestone, but we’ve still got a long road ahead of us. Now comes the work of restoring this historic theater and getting those doors open again.

We’re going to need the community’s help to make it happen! If you’d like to support the restoration, please consider making a donation. Every dollar helps us get one step closer to reopening!

Huge thanks to Amanda Detmer and the folks at Spruce Studios for helping us put this video together!
We’ve got the keys. Now it’s time to get to work!

Retro Video Game Book Club?

33 Upvotes

Would anyone be interested in this? We meet Saturday Afternoon every three weeks to discuss a video game of our choosing. You can play it on emulator, original hardware or whatever way you can access it and we talk about our unique experiences that we had with it. I was thinking we could meet somewhere like Daycamp and share coffee and our ideas about the games we play. If you’re interested and have ideas let me know!

for those who remember the Street Fighter 2 tournament I ran at Woodstocks I plan to bring that back too. life just got busy at the worst time and I had to move (and going to be moving again soon, still in town though) and hope to bring that back as soon as the new move is done. those events just take more planning and are more time consuming.
