Thankfully, not everyone I invited showed up. Still, we had a good turnout,
and there was fierce competition for seating in the cramped two-bedroom
apartment.
Remington Stone, alias Frumple, and I boned up on Tekken a bit before the
game, at 4:30 pm. Melissa "Piper" Hardenbrook, my roommate and long time
Tekken opponent, showed up not long afterwards.
Rachel Barnett, Matt and Ben drove in from the Marin area to join the
insanity around 5:30. Matt and Ben appear to be quite the Tekken addicts
themselves, and I'd guess they've spent many an hour in front of the screen.
The rest of the crowd showed up one by one, with the guest of honor, Ola
"youngmc" Okupe arriving fashionably late at 8pm.
