Arlington Star Wars NerdAuthor Parting With Original Trilogy Arcade Game

Fri May 16, 2008 at 01:30:38 PM

Really, this is just a post for the 4-year-old who lives in my house. Alas, though, there is a decent local connection, as Arlington resident and Star Wars Super Collector's Wish Book author Geoffrey T. Carlton is selling on eBay his Star Wars Trilogy Arcade Game, which he bought to photograph for the book and has since decided he don't need no more. Only four hours left to bid, and thus far it appears there are no takers at the opening bid of $2,300 -- or, about as much as I've dropped in various machines over the last couple of years feeding the young apprentice's habit.

You know the game, right? Good timing too -- it's the arcade game's 10th anniversary, hooboy. It'd go really well in the game room of my new imaginary house. --Robert Wilonsky

Yo Wilonsk, you going to the Jeff Ross show Saturday night? Is the Observer giving out any free tickets???

I'm not going. But, ya know, since you asked, lemme see if I can scare up some ducats from our promotions peeps, who've given me something very special to give away next week ... Letcha know.

Well, look at you, "rossfan." You're now the proud winner of a pair of tickets to see Jeff Ross tomorrow at the Lakewood. Just shoot me an e-mail with your real name -- unless, ya know -- and the generous folks at the Lakewood will leave them for you at will call. And for those who've jumped this far and are feeling left out, I have one extra pair -- first come, first served. And ... go.

Yo RoWil, I'll take 'em if you've still got 'em.

And just like that, two pair of Jeff Ross tickets are gone. Thanks for playing.
