After much back and forth earlier this year, currently, Steve Wiebe is sitting comfortably atop Twin Galaxies’ worldwide leaderboard in Donkey Kong. But that’s not enough for Chicago’s Logan Hardware. The soon to be re-opened hardware store has hired Wiebe to not just teach a Donkey Kong class, but also to spend nearly five hours attempting to best his own high score on January 15.
The public is free to attend the attempt, whereas the class costs $12 — if you’re looking to snap a pic with Wiebe or to have him sign your ultra limited edition laserdisc copy of King of Kong, ponying up the $12 is probably your best option. If that weren’t enough, Logan’s throwing in a free t-shirt and the chance to ask Wiebe what he really thinks of Billy Mitchell’s hot sauce brand. And, surely, the answer to that last question is priceless.
