The irony craze coupled with the seemingly natural human affinity for nostalgia makes old video games, pretty much, the coolest shit ever. You can see the sparkle in an aging hipster's eye at the mention of them. Sunday, a benefit for Northern at Northern offers usually unfathomable Nintendo Mario Kart tournament awesomeness. Fabulous prizes and a raffle? Yep. SNES and Nintendo 64? Of course. Snacks for 50 cents? Damn straight. The semi-finals and finals will be played on a big screen.
[Northern, 2 p.m. warm-up, 3 p.m. start, $5 entry, 321 Fourth Ave., Olympia, northernolympia.org]
