I actually wasn’t able to finish the book I meant to review today, so I’ll be giving you a preview of upcoming books I’ll be reading and a couple fun things to do here in Seattle in the next week.
Seattle Cinerama playing Mad Max for limited time
The Seattle Cinerama, the BEST theater in the Seattle Area, in our humble opinions, will be playing Mad Max: Fury Road from June 5th to 9th, in between SIFF showings and right before Jurassic World (they’re playing Tomorrowland right now…must not be doing well). If not only to see the movie, but since their renovation, the Cinerama has added craft beer and chocolate popcorn as well.
It’s a great time to go see Fury Road again in the theater. This’ll be the first movie we’ve seen twice in a movie theater since last year’s Guardians of the Galaxy.
NW Pinball & Arcade Show 2015
It’s been awhile since we attended this convention. We haven’t seen it in it’s new location in Tacoma, though we’ve heard awesome things since they left the NW Rooms at the Seattle Center.
If you grew up playing stand up arcade or pinball games at your local 7-11, or pizza place and want a fun weekend to go yourself or take the whole family, the NW Pinball & Arcade Show is a great weekend destination. If you’re a geek, you have an even more reason to attend. The show will have the brand new The Hobbit pinball game from Jersey Jack Pinball.
As the posters say, over 400 pinball machines, gaming tournaments, panels and vendors will be there all this weekend for you retro game fans. If the show is just bigger with even better space, it’s a fun show for everybody. They’ve even added some console gaming for the younger retro gamers. Put on by members of SMAC, it’s a yearly event you won’t want to miss.
