Oooh! What a great idea!

Jon, you'd have to have a surly guy with a giant 1980s waist pouch of quarters walking around, changing customers' $20 bills.

Come to think of it....I'm available.

This is a brilliant idea! A game arcade.

Can we have it anywhere other than the US?

There's got to be some decommissioned mall out there just spoiling for a Gen X takeover.

I've been thinking of the same thing this week ! I had got as far as thinking about locations - should it be camping like a festival, if not then where...what else can add value beyond music and film reels... - so I really like your idea of throwing in ways to keep thriving. I'd love to help you but alas I'm in NZ so little use!!

IRL events are a huge growth trend so this is on the money, people craving connection.

My four cents:

I reckon you could think of a better name - surely an 80s movie or music reference would work?

vibe should be 'we are not dead or retired yet' so no retirement living sponsors allowed

menopause would be a good workshop - health in general.

I was listening to 'the rewatchables' today, be great to have 1-2 panels/talk shows on classic movies.

I don't think NZ is big enough to make it work here alas, but I look forward to seeing this come to life!

These are great ideas. I want do one in New Zealand! Let's see if we can make it work in U.S. first. Was thinking if starting a movie club. Like a book club. Could be online.

Do we get to complain about all the GenZs that yell at us for not handing THEM a map?

I'd be down. Can we do it in Europe? 😉
