Nickel Nickel

That one night sophomore year of high school, when Max, Jacob, Alex, Jack and I spent the night at Nickel Nickel playing unlimited video games after it closed and I sucked so bad at Crazy Taxi but was good at that speed boat game...that was the shit. I remember thinking about how lucky I was to be able to play arcade games for free. A couple years before that, I used to take a bunch of quarters and go to the Yogi's Amusement by myself and play I don't even know what. When I lived in Huntington Beach, I went to one of those nickel arcades for the first time. I went with a couple friends, maybe Long Hong or something, and my Mom came, and even when everything was just a nickel, I still felt bad when I went to my Mom and said I used all my nickels. I felt guilty I didn't play longer.
