I must be getting old.
I would rather go to Dave and Busters and play their games (once a year), then invest in a WII and screw with hooking it up and dealing with buying separate games and controls and add-on peripherals, only to find out that I used the system 4 times (once every few months) and then it’s obsolete.
Here’s a radical thought… go to a Tennis Court!
Hey Sarah, I am just catching up on my pop17 videos… I saw a few episodes you went by Sarah Austin. Will you be publicly going by Austin now?
Also, I didn’t understand… Was Austin your birth name, and Myers your stage name? Or was there a life-event (marriage / divorce / whatever) that caused you to change? I don’t mean to be nosy, I am just curious if I should look for you as Austin from now on, or Myers.
Or just tell me to shut up, and delete this comment.
Hey Chris, I didn’t get married and my birth name is Sarah Austin. :-)

J. Rabbitte, It was fun. There are some classic old games at Barcade. Check out the link.

Hey Sarah!
Nice footage of the Wiimbledon tourney…Ugh, made me long to get back on the tennis court (or at least find someone with Wii Tennis down here, hahah!). I would so be there if I were…well, there to begin with, although with all those classic vid games at Barcade, I’d be way torn!!!!
