Le Fun

Austin, TX

It is a sad day because Le Fun is closed. What a horrible thing to have occurred behind my back. Le Fun is where Aaron and I had our first “dates.” Late, into the wee hours of the morning, he and I would play video games. That’s when he would impress me by using only one quarter to beat a game. And that’s where once we walked by the Scientology building and inside we saw a big fat guy sitting on a couch, eating Chinese take-out and watching TV. (?) And once, after leaving Le Fun, we were walking back to the car and we heard a gunshot in the alley. And we were like, in Austin?, hmm..

I will miss Le Fun. It was a better arcade than Einstein’s. And, now living in the Bay Area I recognize it as a valuable non-eating, late-night recreation that is so rare and in the oh-so great Berkeley/Oakland area, non-existent.
