I do retro video game things at Rad Junk, RadBar, and ReallyRadWeekend! I love food and used to photograph the fastest cars in the world.

See you soon Arkansas!

Joe Alonzo @joe.radjunk.com · 9h

Yesssss.

Tim sawyer is criminally underrated.

Joe Alonzo @joe.radjunk.com · 9h

SO MUCH QUAKE.

And Unreal Tournament, Ghost Recon 1, WoW, and as always, Captain Skyhawk.

Also, truck is ready to roll to Arkansas.

My kid just asked me what I did from 1997 until now year by year and let me tell you thinking about that is a total brain implosion.

Joe Alonzo @joe.radjunk.com · 15h

I hope it tastes like gushers.

Joe Alonzo @joe.radjunk.com · 15h

I’m not entirely sure yet honestly haha.

Joe Alonzo @joe.radjunk.com · 16h

Best boxing video game?

Joe Alonzo @joe.radjunk.com · 18h

It’s got to be worth at least a years worth of rent.

Joe Alonzo @joe.radjunk.com · 18h

I’ll check the shop!

Joe Alonzo @joe.radjunk.com · 18h

It’s time to fire the oven back up Wyatt.

Joe Alonzo @joe.radjunk.com · 18h

Sell a WoW account to fund it.

Jon St John has a couple bar tabs written into his contract with us so it’s guaranteed to be a good time.

Joe Alonzo @joe.radjunk.com · 18h

Now that’s rad hahaha.

Sounds like you need to make it to RRW and hang out with him because he’s awesome.

Joe Alonzo @joe.radjunk.com · 19h

It’s true. There’s a photo somewhere.

I don’t know how we haven’t become a bluesky sanctioned event yet.

Joe Alonzo @joe.radjunk.com · 19h

Our convention is different.

It’s like a laidback adult spring break in Nov.

We have rad guests.
Pinball.
A fun curated vendor hall.
Informative panels.
After dark activities that are a hoot.

Best of all, it’s right on the white sandy beaches of Destin FL & profits go to local charities!

9 years ago @seafoamtavern.bsky.social and I along with our buddy Dave tried convincing people to buy Neo Geo Pocket Color games and Rainbow Islands on NES, advice that still applies.

Top tier bathroom art.

Appreciate you*

Joe Alonzo @joe.radjunk.com · 2d

Thanks man, I really appreciate now. I’m good now but I’ll remember that.

Joe Alonzo @joe.radjunk.com · 2d

I hit a breaking point today where the weight of everything felt like too much.

I did the logical thing and went grocery shopping and proceeded to cook steaks for my family.

Sometimes the best way to turn the pressure of the world down is to cook.
