Every night I look to the sky / Call your name and wonder why

This may be my largest picture post yet. It covers Friday afternoon at NexLevel, Saturday night at NexLevel, Sunday at work, and a few pictures of Janelle on Wednesday.

As always, you can click on a picture for a larger version.

Have fun!!

So this is NexLevel, the cybercafe on the square, just up the street from the Coffee Pot. Seems pretty cool off-hand.This is one of the main guys. He's really cool, though I don't know his name.
This is Pete, the owner. Also cool.They have like 14 computers along the left wall.
And a well-stocked fridge for thirsty gamers. Lots of Bawls.This is the lounge.
The TV, and those sweet, sweet metal DDR pads. 200 bucks a piece.Close up, with my foot (size 13) as a size reference.
From the front. The TV in the far back left has an X-Box on it.It's hard to see, but Shelley bit me really, really hard on the shoulder and left a painful mark. She did this through my shirt.
Not to be outdone, Lilie bit me on the area between the shoulder and neck and left an impressive mark as well.I asked Josh to hold my camera while I was playing DDR Saturday night, waiting for Lilie. These next few pictures are his doing, starting with Derrick.
Me playing DDR as a fairy.Pretty much the same idea here, if from a different angle.
Random people.Krysta as Leloo from the 5th Element.
Krysta and some guy playing DDR.Another random guy.
Here's Sean Izzard (he's dated both Janelle and Kenni) and his newest girlfriend. I think her name is something like "Jeanine". She plays DDR. Lucky bastard.I took a picture with Krysta.
Beverly as a sexy bunny.Shelley. Don't ask.
A bad picture of Lilie. She swears there's no other kind.This is the only picture the two of us have taken together.
Shelley getting dressed.And again.
One more time, just to make sure we've established what's going on.Lilie's back. That's a possessive 's, not an "is" contraction. The second one is a contraction, though.
Both of them in one picture, thus proving that they're not the same person.Freddie as I'm picking him up for work.
Ray, being Ray.Kym. She was like a nurse person, but with crazy hair? I don't know.
Allison was a person from Hawaii. Hula-dancer, or something like that?Allison and I.
Thomas R.Andrew.
Allison, looking weird. Immediately after this picture, she stuck her butt at me and told me to take a picture of that.So I did.
Kym and I in the stock room. How cute.The cooks - Chris, Freddie, and Andrew.
There's me on the schedule in the manager position for the first time.He gave me next Sunday as well. And now he writes me down as both 'Billy' and 'Will'. 'Cause looking for one name is too easy.
Lacy was a cat. Meow.Kenny was... whatever.
Kristen doesn't like having pictures taken of her. But I got some good ones from her later.I'm a fairy. Still.
The carhops - Megan, Adam V, and Lacy.Ray, still doing manager stuff.
The boards. Just looking at them makes me shiver - you can hear the high-pitched noise they relentlessly make as they whine at us.Kristen again. She didn't realize I took this one.
But she gave me a nice smile, if somewhat fuzzy.Random picture of Lacy.
Lacy agreed to take a picture only if there was someone else in it, so we got Adam V over.Me and Sunny. She likes to smile big for pictures.
Freddie taking an order. And realizing I'm taking his picture.Ben. Yes, he always looks that confused.
Tracy came in to pick up Megan. She's really tall.So she gave me a nice pose.
Then one of the two roommates together. How cute.Lilie looks like such an angel when she's asleep. It almost breaks my heart.
Janelle and her demon dog.Now he's licking her.
Closer up, and with her with red eyes.Off-center, but continuing the red-eye theme.
Focusing more on the demon dog this time.And now, all is at peace.

Wow, that's Janelle? She looks... more mature than you...

And $200 for a DDR pad? Man that's sad. At the height of the DDR craze here, they were giving away the pads for free when you picked up a playstation. Usual price not more than $30 I'd say, but it goes lower if you bought a few games along with it as well. They must really inflate the price when those pads cross the Pacific Ocean.

Oh and nice to see you bald again. I think it makes you look slimmer somehow.

@Nov:

(Janelle): In many ways, she is.

(200 dollar DDR pads): Those are top of the line; best home pads you can get. The more standard soft pads, probably what you're talking about, are fairly cheap - mine cost 40 bucks, but they were fairly good soft pads. I've seen them as low as 20 by themselves, and 50 bundled with a game. The kind they have, you have to special order.

(Bald head): Agreed. I love the bald head. Lilie hates it. Of course.
