Adopting a dog in Indianapolis, IN?
Both my wife and I have always wanted a dog of our own. We both grew up with a furry companion, but just in the last year we have felt like we were secure enough financially to get one.
At first, I was looking for a specific mix of Shar Pei and Pit Bull. Why that combination in particular? We knew another dog that we thought of as “perfect” that had that exact mixing. We watch her from time to time and really love her a …
Looking for RGVAC member “Alphamonster”
I “Ping’d” Eric – “Alphamonster” on the Google Group today, and hope that he has the time to get back to me. At one time, he had a white Mr. Do! and he seems to know his stuff when it comes to arcade games rarely posting on the group. Hopefully he finds my message and is nice enough to shoot me a line.
In another post, a guy by the name of “Keith in NJ” had asked “Eric” (Alphamonster) if he would take some photos of the white character …
Reply from Dan on Mr. Do!
Dan was great, and got right back to me. He confirmed the information about Gleeb making the cabinets, and also said that he owned the machine at one time. He has photos of it on his other website (which I didn’t know was his also, also a nice design) CoinOpVideoGames.com. He has a section on games he previously owned, here is the photo of the machine.
Emailing Dan Hower about Mr. Do!
Got information today that Dan Hower actually runs arcadeflyers.net, a great arcade flyers resource, complete and really nice on the eyes. I emailed him to see if he knew anything, because it looks like he has a long history in the business so at the very least he may be able to give me some history on the machine.
Jr. Pac-man Kickplate
Realized today, as I was talking about my Jr. Pac-man artwork journey for this webpage, that in fact I don’t have Illustrator vector art for the kickplate, it was the bezel I was thinking of that I got off of localarcade. I hope Richard can also take some photos of that for me.
Mark Deroller follow up for Mr. Do!
Found another email for Mark Deroller about this game at mderoller@yahoo.com. Hopefully this one doesn’t work since his other two emails bounced back to me.
Mark DeRoller mentions a Dan Hower in his posts, and that Dan supplied a photo of the bezel for him. I was thinking that maybe Dan owns the machine as well, knows someone who does, or just has access to photos and information about most games.
I also found another post of a guy who owns the game as well, so I am shooting …
February 10, 2007
In the morning we were around the house doing different things. But Sarah had wanted to get down to Petsmart and get Kellogg some new toys because his chewing needed to be controlled a little bit more. He was starting to chew on the entertainment center, Sarah’s grade book, and anything within reach. We expected no less, and figured we should probably get him some serious toys to show him we care because a sock with newspaper in it is kind of the cheap man’s doggie toy.
We came home with …
