This is a very rare chance to photograph vintage video and pinball games -- and folks playing them. All arcade and pinball games will be on "free play" for Friday and Saturday, so come photograph and play!

The folks at ArcadeExpo Houston have been inviting Photowalkers and their families to this yearly event since 2009! My son Alex loves looks forward to this event every year!
They chopped the single-day ticket price to TEN BUCKS (http://www.arcadecenter.com/houstonphotowalks.asp) for HPW members! :)
**** IMPORTANT *** TICKETS MUST BE PURCHASED IN ADVANCE FROM THEIR WEB SITE (http://www.arcadecenter.com/houstonphotowalks.asp) TO GET THE GROUP MEMBER DISCOUNT! ***
And yes, this is absolutely a family event. Bring your family members to show them you can have fun without 2 joysticks and 12 buttons on a single controller. :)
Also new this year, if you want to enjoy the full two days -- and a bit of rest time too, the hotel is offering a special ARC discount on overnight rooms. Just mention "Houston Arcade" when you call 713-462-9977. Room rates are $72 per night.
