Well I'd go out cruising but I've no place to go

Didn't have the time to write today; I ended up so focused on this problem at work that I made no progress on that I didn't have the little corners of time I was counting on to describe March Hare Madness Finals. They'll come soon. Meanwhile, please enjoy photographs of the Brighton Arcade furmeet.

I kept mistaking the blue dragon there for a Stitch kigurumi, but the resemblance is just the base color and how all kigurumis have a certain commonality in shape.

My one dramatic photo of the day!

Couple of the musically inclined fursuiters air-guitar-playing.

And then we got back inside where, first game, I put up a personal high on Elvira and ruined Vix's hard-won placement earlier that day as the machine's top scorer.

I believe that's Vix playing Whitewater, a game that MWS always picked when he had the chance back when The Arcade hosted a pinball league. I assume this is a different specific table, or a vastly modified one, because ...

The details may be hard to see. But Whitewater is themed to a rafting expedition in the mountains. This table's repainted things white, to make it more glacial, and replaced the Bigfoot figure (upper right corner) with an Abominable Snowman. This doesn't change anything about the game as a game, of course, but it does make things look different and that's fun.

Trivia: Parish priest Domenico Tino's account of the election of Venice's 29th Doge, Selvo, included that ``the Doge gave orders for he restoration and improvement of the doors, seats, and tables which had been damaged after the death of Doge Contarini''. Tino gives no explanation for why or how they were damaged; there is no record of public disturbance after the death of Contarini and if he had been unpopular it seems unlikely his lieutenant Selvo would have been chosen as quickly and jubilantly as he was.
