Got waylaid by things today, including sleeping in a whole lot, so I'm afraid you'll have to make do with pictures instead of stories. Sorry.
And now, some Marvin's'ception: pictures in Marvin's of Marvin's.
Here's a picture of Marvin's from when Tally Hall was still its thing.
Old advertising poster for Marvin's at Tally Hall, with the promise of bemusement. They didn't have any one-armed bandits at any time we ever visited the place, not even non-working ones.

bunnyhugger getting a photo of the Cardiff Giant, and a view from the back of the redemption counter all the way to, if you look just above bunnyhugger's head, the pinball machines.
Oh yeah, and the sign explaining just what this Cardiff Giant was about.
Some small signs near the snack counter.
And a Mutoscope, this one I think with the footage of the Hindenburg crash.
Looking up from there, the Matt Groening autograph and the promise of a Penny Arcade.
Tournament still going on; we didn't qualify for the John Wick or the Jaws playoffs so just watched from afar.
CST collecting his first win of the night!
Score sheets and the official spreadsheet recording who was on top.
People playing for fun while the Jaws playoffs were going on, which is why John Wick --- next to Jaws --- is turned off here. Limits the distractions of the players.
Trivia: 67 of the 75 cars which started the 500-mile ``reliability run'' of October 1902 finished it. Only one of the seven European cars finished. Source: The King's Best Highway: The Lost History Of The Boston Post Road, The Route That Made America, Eric Jaffe.
