Day 15 : the LAST day in USA
Few weeks ago, I asked Barry to order for me a very special item for my
Cirqus Voltaire pinball. See this strange neon
Of course, this neon is too fragile for a shipping from USA to Europe (or it would be very complicate & expensive), so I've asked Barry to keep it safe at home, and I'll take it back with me...
Taking back with me? Easy to say... This neon is so long, and so fragile... I'm sure It would not resist in my bags. So, the only option is to keep it with me in the plane... but how to pack this?
Fortunately, Barry is the man, see this 'custom' (for customs) box
It can be opened very easy... 'coz I'm sure I'll have to show what's inside that box before entering into the plane...
OK Barry, it should be fine like that, well done
:
Ok, we cannot leave Texas before visiting the Ultimate game room!
... Get ready?
...and here we are baby
YESTERDAYS 
Man, what a shock
I know this game room very well because I've seen a lot of pictures, but man, be here for real is a awesome experience
Hey, two of my favorites table top games : Entex's Super Cobra & Galaxian2
...with a ton of other games
Berzerk on Atari 2600
I'm like a little kid ... see... I've got a ton of quarters in my hands... It's heaven here
...hundreds for Barry
Let's score on Missile Command... impossible to beat Barry
Heaven! I told you!
Barry and the Sonic cab'... or Sonic and Sonic?
...wait a sec, Barry IS Sonic!
Ahhh, my dream comes true... at least a Virtual Boy... Let's try it for the very first time
Impossible to describe all the items here! It would requires thousands of pictures...
See the carpet... special for 'black light'
Here's the Dragon's Lair area
:
Even 25 years ago, it was possible to cheat on arcade games
E.T. fan?
Of course, we cannot resist to try to ..."slay the Dragon"
Ok Barry, you win ... but I've got an excuse
...
I use to play the EURO version of the game, not the US one I guess I'm better on the NES version ... Nerd!
time to go... a last picture... I still cannot believe I'm here, in Yesterdays!!!
On the way to the airport, Barry stops the car... and says : "Bruno, this is a place for all the fans of the movie BACK TO THE FUTURE : DMC"
Arggg... too bad it's Sunday today... it's closed...
...
Behind these walls, I can imagine all the Delorean cars
OK, next time I'll go to Texas, I won't miss that!
In the shuttle, on the way to the airport, I'm very sad as you can see... I don't want to go
...
A last good bye to Barry & Stacy.
Once again, many thanks for everything!
... 15 incredible days... As you can see, we are VERY tired and a little bit ill (too much air conditioner I would say
) ... but so happy
Now I hope I won't have problem to pass the custom/security check with the neon in my hand
...No problem at all... Let's eat the Barry's famous chips while we are waiting the plane...
And... this is it... we are now safe in Belgium (and the Cirqus Voltaire neon too
)... these 15 days were totally awesome!!!
It's was just incredible to meet Fred 'Arcadefever' and Barry 'Sonic 1992' for real... you were very kind with us... we never forget this 15 days trip with you
Hope to meet you again very soon
End of line...
