It has been a while and as usual I keep promising to post here and explain what has been going on around here... but there just hasn't been time. The last couple of months have been the craziest of my life and I want to thank everybody for the help! I will get to that as I finally get "caught up" on this blog.
I have a couple of quick announcements and hopefully I can get this to post before I fall asleep!
MOVED:
For those who don't know The Airlock has moved to a new bigger location, a little south of the old location, and on the other side of the freeway and train tracks. Our new space is amazing with 4000 sq ft and a separate room for parties. Our new address is
The Airlock
11001 118th pl NE
Kirkland, WA, 98033
Please enter the address carefully into nav systems, people have had a little trouble with nav systems finding this address.
FIXED:
After a very long weekend I would like to announce that all 8 pods were fully functional as of last night. This would not have been possible without the help of our friend Craig "Pharaoh" Evans from Denver, who flew up here this weekend to help me get caught up. He arrived just in time because the pods gave us more and more trouble last week. All of the problems that the move stirred up, plus the usual problems were piling up while I set up the new space. MDK also helped out with a solid monitor repair on the pod 7 radar.
Pod 1 radar may be a little bit intermittent, we will see over time. The rest of them are working nicely. Pod 5 motherboard has been replaced finally, thanks to JB for some good hunting! So pod 5 is in pretty good shape for the first time in a very very long time!
FRESH MEAT:
Deadeye and Thunderbear and maybe some others will be joining us this weekend from California, for our RedPlanet Tournament (Tandem Football! Find a partner!!!) and a whole lot of games! Last time these guys came up we had a blast, I can't wait to play with them again! All skill levels are welcome, please don't miss this one!
SCHEDULE CHANGE:
Starting in March we will be swapping beginner's night and Advanced BattleTech night, so Tuesday and Wednesday will switch, RedPlanet night and other events will stay the same. Stay tuned for further details on this.
SPECIALS:
The company is in poor financial shape after the move and this is the toughest time of year for us. Last week was extremely slow. I will be announcing more ways you can help in future posts, but for now...
We want you all to be good and warmed up to smash Deadeye and Thunderbear this weekend so I am offering the best specials I have ever offered. These prices are for THIS WEEK ONLY, 2/21/2012-2/25/2012.

AMAZON: A while back I posted asking you all to click an Amazon banner link before shopping because it doesn't cost you anything, but it helps The Airlock. I am asking you again. This has added up to a helpful amount of money, please if you are buying something on amazon, please use this link:
Many thanks to those who helped out in the last couple of months. We aren't out of the woods yet, but we definitely have a chance here!
more soon,
