Lucky 13 - Alameda

Photobooth.net is an excellent website, working to catalog pretty much everything about the lost art of the film photobooth. News, locations, pretty much if you can think of it, they've got it. In the words of creators Brian and Tim, Photobooth.net is "the most comprehensive photobooth resource on the internet."

Recently, my friend Caitlin and I found ourselves stuck in a bar in Alameda called Lucky 13 one Friday night. Lured by the promise of a girls' night out and trapped by our dependence on our one friend for a ride, we ended up tired around midnight with no reliable way to get home to Berkeley quite yet. So we ducked into the film photobooth they've got stashed away in the corner and snapped away! Eventually our ride got bored with talking to every guy in the bar and acquiesced to our pitiful pleas to go home, but the night was not totally wasted, not at all.

I generally troll Photobooth.net, because I'm addicted both to the Internet and to photobooths, and I realized that the Lucky 13 photobooth was miraculously undocumented! Thankfully I had taken a picture of the photobooth itself, and I sent it in to the site. You can see it posted here.
