Where the kid played Ridge Racer on the hugh projector screen till the cop busted him?

Well, I just had a similar experience tonight (minus the police part), sept this happen with around 200 different people in a massive 2600 and NES tournament held at the Coolidge Corner Theatre in Brookline, MA. Imagine playing Frogger and Warlords on a movie theater screen with hundreds of people cheering you on, or playing 3 minute rounds of Mario on a 60 inch TV. It was like acting out a part in the Wizard (which they also showed by the way).

Sadly my freind's digital camera I was using decided to die right around the time we actually started taking pics of the advent. However I did manage to snag a couple extra flyers and papers that I'll gladly mail out to someone with a scanner (or someone that wants them) and there's also this link (http://www.weeklydig.com/index.cfm/nodeID/ab00372f-8b35-45a2-92a1-5681cba7e4d8/eventID/2f834cf3-69d1-4333-b8a4-3e4118430237/fuseaction/event.detail) to the Weekly Dig that held the event.
