Oh man, ArcAttack was at Comicpalooza 2013 in Houston. Seeing it in person was really impressive. You can almost feel the electricity in the air and the buzzing sound really reverberates through you. They actually had a cage set up between the two Tesla coils and were bringing volunteers from the crowd to dance in the cage while electric bolts zapped it!
Also, Patrick Stewart had a session that got moved from its original scheduled stage at the last minute and wound up being on a stage in the same room, directly opposite ArcAttack's setup. As he finished up and walked off stage, we all heard the Tesla coils fire up and start playing the TNG theme behind us! It was completely impromptu and only happened because of unexpected scheduling conflicts, but it was an awesome way to end what was a really great session.
