eROI Days Email Agency

It’s Sunday in November and it’s predictably rainy in Portland - beautifully, dreadfully rainy. My 5-year old daughter was bouncing off the walls in our house and we needed a change of scenery. So, I bribed her with extra-special ice cream at Mia Gelato’s in the Pearl District. We then went to the largest bookstore in the world - Powell’s Bookstore on NW 10th and Couch.

The cool part of the day’s activities were yet another bribe to play arcade games at Ground Kontrol, which happens to be in eROI’s new office building and it was the perfect excuse to check out the progress of the new space that we are moving into in 12 days. Our new office space looks amazing, but I have no idea how it will be ready for our move-in date of Nov 30. I’m praying our contractor has a little magic up sleeve.

Back to telling you about Ground Kontrol. Back in time. Retro. Imagine all of your favorite games from 1982 and put them all in one large 2-floored room - Ms. Pacman, Centipede, Galaga, Street Fighter, and the list goes on. I have a vision of my daughters spending far too many quarters in that place, waiting for their Dad to take them home after work. For all its retro geekiness, that’s not such a bad vision.
