    This is the most wonderful thing I've seen in a long time. This kid is a creative genius.

    We should celebrate each other's creativity like this. Check it out.

      The "security" pin code on the FunPass is genius.

       

      I'm always torn about Flashmobs like this.  If you've heard the This American Life life episode where a flashmob descends on a band trying to make it in NYC, you know what I mean.

      2013 Goals: 18:49 5K •  1:25 HM • sub-3 Marathon • run lots of races

      Current Status 5/13: challenging my Achilles issue -- building some base

        This was pretty inspiring.

         

        Kids are amazing!   To make an arcade out of all the crap.  Just amazing !

          The "security" pin code on the FunPass is genius.

           

          Yes.  The kid may have a career ahead in encryption technology.

           

          And the Fun Pass is a fantastic deal!

              That was so amazing. That kid is a genius and he's so happy and humble! Thanks for sharing Smile

               

               I really like how he goes into the box to spit out the tickets! So authentic!

                I wish Caine and my son were neighbors.  I really think they'd hit it off.  My son is always making things like that out of cardboard boxes and is fascinated by claw machines (though he doesn't go inside them, unlike Trent's son, heh).  I'd totally love to go play at his arcade.  That Fun Pass is a great bargain!
