Steve, do we have a photographer yet?
(Topic ID: 79454)
Quoted from MustangPaul:That would be great for you to bring another game, that would make 18. I think you'll like what I've done to Space Station. Here's a picture with the extra lighting and I'm working on a overhead ramp entrance light too.

That looks good, Paul. I haven't put much playtime in on a Space Station, but I really enjoyed the few games I've had. Pretty neat pin all around. Give me a shout if you ever feel like moving it out of the collection.
Quoted from roffels:Give me a shout if you ever feel like moving it out of the collection.
Will do.....if I remember. 
Up to 22 games now. This is so much bigger then last year.
Paul - We may have L-Satan's girlfriend on camera duty. S1500 said she was good and that she could use his camera. Right now, the most need may be in transport. Just about everybody needs help with games whether it be just one game or multiples.
Anybody besides Matt have a cargo van, SUV or pickup that can help with pickup and drop-off on Saturday and Sunday?
Quoted from MustangPaul:I've got nothing to do that Monday so any body want to come over and play some more pin at my place?
I might be able to 'convince' some people to come to your place, Paul. What time were you thinking about havin' people over?
Oh, so we all need to get on the same page here. All the help is great, but now it seems that we have duplicate pickups.
If we don't need the escalera, I'd rather not rent it to save the cash. So far I thought I was going to haul some machines for Billy d, but if not just let me know. It shouldn't be difficult, just communicate and read older posts.
I've got a Uhaul rented and will be mobil sunday around 9-10am heading towards PinballBBQ. If you are on the east side of the cities and/or on the route to Burnsville, or close, and want a game picked up, let me know. So far, we have between 4-6 games in this 17 foot truck with room to spare (I think).

So your gonna "twist some arms" are you. I was thinking around 2.
Yup I need it for pick-up and drop off Sunday. But Matt, if your coming over to my place on Monday I can leave the game in my van over night and we could get it back down then. How does that sound.

Want your guests to bring anything over? snacks, hookers, etc?
I'm gonna pick up bill's games, bring mine, and get the escalera to pauls. That's the extent of my hauls so far. Planning in doing this Saturday so its bit a madhouse setting stuff up Sunday, reduce it anyway..

Sounds good Matt. You got my number right?
Quoted from lordloss:Want your guests to bring anything over? snacks, hookers, etc?
What ever and whoever you want. Just as long as her name aint Brandy. 
Quoted from pinballnut3:This sounds fun. I cant wait!
With 22 games and counting it WILL be. 
I just hope Steve's basement has enough electrical circuits to handle it all.
Thanks for all the work everyone is putting into this. You guys make this event what it is so cheers to all that help out. I broke my toe yesterday so I'm not getting around well. The more games we can get today or Saturday, they easier it will be on Sunday.
I would like guests to bring a dish, desert, drinks or snacks. We do not drink so we are hoping that will be a lighter afare at the BBQ. There are a couple after parties so plan to make some new friends while you are here.

You'll do ANYTHING to get out of work for the event wouldn't you. Just kidding.
Quoted from lordloss:Bad news: HS still isn't up and running.
Good news: I bought a ton of food to make up for it.
I'll still buy a tshirt though.IMG_20140523_145029[1].jpg 266 KB
Well ya just gotta get more games to chose from to bring. All kidding aside that's a bummer.

We just need that guy from WI to change his LOTR from FT only to FS.
Quoted from Whysnow:Just go buy a game he wants and then u can have the nicest LOTR in the region.
I was actually looking into this. Their is one in Ohio in the price range and I was looking into driving out and getting it and bringing it back to WI.

That sounds like a fun road trip. How many miles would it be?

800 miles one way
Final attendance numbers are in and we are over capacity. In effort to keep things sane, registration for the BBQ is now closed. If we have not yet confirmed your attendance, please make other plans.
Thanks for your interest and support.

Quoted from MnHotRod:If anyone coming to the event has a spare shooter rod rubber, we need one for a game that was dropped off.
I just happen to have a spare shooter rod tip sitting on my desk. I'll bring it.
I'll bring a shooter tip.
Likewise, does anyone have a classic Stern 1980 left-side Plunger, Link, and Crank assembly I could purchase? Just picked up a machine coming to the BBQ, and the flipper is mostly reliable, but when it's not...
If none are available I am sure I can tweak it to be reliable.

I'll be open on Sunday, if you run into a part need, check with me and if I have one you can send someone over to get it.

Disclaimer : I know it's a bit of a drive, but if a popular game goes down it might be worth it.
Chris...
PM Steve and see if things can be worked out. Steve is a good guy, but as you can imagine things are very stressful when hosting any event with a bunch of strangers.
Steve, i can vouch for Chris if you do not know him. Good guy, just set your tilts tight

I'm coming from Anoka, SS is pretty much on the way.
Steve and Matt have my contact info, otherwise PM me for my cell if anyone needs me to stop.

Wow that looks better than mine ever did. Nice stuff

Thanks Chris, I just put a Comet 6.3v, 7 led strip over the ramp entrance lik this one I made for my Getaway. When Comet comes out with their colored strips I might put a diff. color in. I'm thinking a white and green so when the game goes "Condition Green" and all the white lights go off the green would still be on over the ramp entrance.

Looks like you have a nice group. May be I can talk Steve into getting everyone into a group photo, he has a really cool back yard that would be perfect for one. I know you would get the long distance award if you came.
I have a wide angle lens that might fit the whole group in at that distance, I'll put my camera in the van just in case...

Thanks Matt, that would be cool. Do you have a tripod for it so you can get in the pict. too?
