It's been a while since I've updated this, so here is all the latest DDR news in my life:

A friend of mine is moving and sold a lot of his Bemani goods.  I ended up purchasing DDR (Japanese 1st mix) and DDR 4th Mix (Japanese) and pop'n music 9 & 10 from him.  I haven't played any of them, but I hope to soon.  Solo will be fun.  He also gave me a pop'n music 2 soundtrack, which I've been listening to today at work.  It's pretty good.

Since my friend is moving far away, he won't be able to go out TGA any more.  Because of this a bunch of us decided to go out for one last outing to TGA before the move.  We went on Mother's Day and there was hardly anyone else there.  We got to play a lot and hardly had to wait for anything.  TGA's 5th mix was fixed and they had the two new unlocked songs and courses on their SN2 machine.  I played a lot of DDR, Troopers, and pop'n (passed a 36!).
