    We are excited to announce the 2nd Annual Pinball BBQ. Last year was a lot of fun. We had a lot of games and we met a lot of new friends. In effort to make this year even better, we need your help. First and foremost, we need people to bring pinball machines. Second, we could use some sponsors to cover some of the cost for award plaques, food and beverage. Third, we could use some prize donations. If you can help, please send me a PM.

Machines can be dropped off anytime the week prior, the week after, or the day of the event. Our house is easy load-in so no worries once they get here. If you can bring a machine, please send a message so we can add your game to the list of machines for the party.

    That pinball grill is cool!
    I'll see if I can get Sunday off. If so, I'll bring two machines. My cocktail table, and one of the more popular uprights. If anyone needs help moving machines, I would be happy to help load and unload.

    #12 9 years ago

    I can provide a truck and I live in Anoka. I'm happy to help haul a table from this end of the metro to that end of the metro. I don't have a dolley though.

    #13 9 years ago

    I will be bringing my Space Station but I need help getting it out and back into my basement, I have a dolly and a cargo van.

    #14 9 years ago

    Good luck with the event. I hope the weather's perfect, it's a huge success and everyone has a great time.

    #18 9 years ago

    Looks like my lady and I have the weekend free. I will bring Eros One, as a novelty, and I'm thinking either Black Knight or Nitro Ground Shaker.
    I've got an appliance cart, and can help haul. I'd like to bring the machines on Saturday, so as to make Sunday a little easier. Anyone need help moving machines on Saturday?

    Bring BN. I need help.

    #21 9 years ago

    We could rent an escalera for this week as well if need be.

    I can bring some cheese! Only thing is you have to have a pump like thingy to dispense it.

    #23 9 years ago

    Satan - Good to hear you can bring some games. Would love to see Ground Shaker as I have yet to see our play one. Would also be great to have a cocktail table game so cheers for bringing Eros One. Never seen that one either.

    Drop off and pickup is open any time that works for you. If you can help MustangPaul or others that need help, that would be great. Volunteers who help out with the tournament or picking up and dropping off games will be rewarded.

    We would love to have PinballPlus added to the roster list of sponsors this year. If you can bring ACDC, it would be a big hit for everyone. Thanks for reach out John. I am sending you an email now with details on donations and sponsorship.

    Paul, please work on syncing up with someone here or local for help getting your Space Station up the stairs from your basement. I would help you myself but I am already doing so many things related to the event I just can't get out to everyone's house to help load and haul games. If I can get a volunteer to help pickup some games, I will rent an escalara for the weekend to help move the games.

    Quoted from MustangPaul:

    #26 9 years ago

    L_satan- another request for Nitro Ground Shaker, I'd LOVE to see one in person!!!

    #27 9 years ago

    No takers yet- anyone feel free to PM me if you need help hauling a table somewhere between Anoka and Burnsville on Sunday (I can't be available on Saturday). Have a truck, no dolly.

    #28 9 years ago

    MustangPaul, I'll gladly help you with Space Station. That was my favorite childhood game! Haven't played it since I was 12 or 13. I've got two votes for NGS and one for BK.
    Can I help you haul Space Station on Saturday, MustangPaul, or would Sunday morning be better? Either is fine with me.

    #29 9 years ago

    Well we know I will help with transport and moving pins and get some items from PinGraffix

    #32 9 years ago

    I'm new to the forum and the pinside community. I am very interested in attending this event but at the time I don't have a table to provide. I do have a pick up truck and would be willing to help move machines. I live in Bloomington.

    Dang it. I just realized this falls on the same day as the Soundset festival at Canterbury Park. I have to go schmooze rappers that day for work and won't be able to attend. I would have liked to bring my Monday Night Football since not a lot of people have ever played one. I hope to attend next year.

    #43 9 years ago

    No promises yet, but I'll see if I can get sp1500's Vector up and running. I think he just purchased CPR plastics for it. MustangPaul, I'll PM you closer to the date--probably Noonish.

    I can confirm I did. Yes, it be right here.

    #46 9 years ago
    Quoted from MustangPaul:

    Hi Charger welcome to Pinside. You don't have any games?

    Not yet. I'm on a bit of a budget and I'm still looking for the right machine. To compensate for the lack of equipment I an willing to help out in other ways.

    I didn't realize this was on Memorial Day weekend. I don't have family obligations this year so I am available to haul machines, ect.

    Quoted from centerflank:

    Sweet, come down and pick me up + 1 game.

    I'd love to pick you up and drop you off but I think I'd need to take out a loan from the bank just for the gas!
