Ground Kontrol

   tonight, I am in a show that takes place in a giant arcade downtown. The Arcade is called ground control, and it has a bar and two stories of old school video games and pinball. I come here a lot but I have never performed on the show. So I'm pretty excited.
    It's a hard room, with a hundred plus machines beeping and booping there is definitely a lot of noise pollution. The layout is pretty cool with some tables that look like they are out of Star Trek TNG occupying a small side. You stand on that side facing the tables which are up against the wall and behind you the rest of the Arcade is going business as usual. Your voice is amplified through the arcade so people can theoretically listen to you even when they're on the second floor and out of sight.
   I am second to last on the line up. I go up and do 20 minutes of some old and new material. I didn't really get that many big laughs they were mostly just listening to me, but it wasn't a bad set by any means.
   Felt good afterwards and then play some NBA Jam. I beat my friend which I'm bittersweet about. It went into overtime... We were both doing pretty badly, my controllers were fucked as well which really fucking sucked. I struggled just to be able to pass or shoot the ball most of my shots were luck. Including the last shot. With 2 seconds left my friend was up by two so I just did the full court shot and it miraculously went in! It was bullshit shot, but I also had messed up control so I think it worked out for the best
