Quoted from TheLaw:Unless it's aboot eating until I'm 60 lbs overweight, divorces, or voting for Trump...I don't think I do much listening to you club members.
I personally wouldn't wear finglerless gloves though...defeats the purpose.
did you not see the fold over mitten part? from what I've seen, you're a chimp flipper at best, so you wouldn't need individual finger sleeves 
Quoted from steviechs:I went a little overboard and put this together so I could track the games I play on my phone. I will probably add a few other little updates before Friday. If anyone wants to check it out and provide feedback on what you'd want to see, let me know (it's not set up at the moment to be all that pretty on a laptop/desktop so check it out on your phone if you can).

Played around with this a bit more. The filter reset button does not reset the years slider and you can't select any icons for aladdins castle in the game list because it has an apostrophe in the div id. Minor issues I know. I'd agree with allowing to sort by name too. Thanks for putting this together.

clear cache, should be fixed

Is the search feature working or is it not intuitive enough?
Quoted from KingBW:maybe add the pinside rating
I added a shared Google drive spreadsheet if anyone wants to help curate the Pinside ratings. Then I could add that info to the game list.
Quoted from cfh:it's "chimp flipping" not "monkey flipping". otherwise looks good.
Kirby says that must be a "Michigan thing" as their part of the country call it "Monkey Flipping". I caught him just in time and he will change it to "Chimp Flipping" just for our group that buys this batch. They are being printed today.
If someone can read the sign after drinking and pronounce that one correctly, they are probably still ok ... or don't need to be cut-off yet. Dual purpose sign.
Gary from Abel Electronics will be at the show with a Dialed In. I want to thank him for his commitment to the show. I'm sure he will have other JJP games there too.
Thank you Gary!
Quoted from crlush:I have an extra ticket for Friday if anyone is interested pm me.
Ticket for friday sold, thanks
Quoted from steviechs:clear cache, should be fixed
Thanks!
Is the search feature working or is it not intuitive enough?
It is working and intuitive. And it's probably fine the way it is. List isn't that big and the venue groups machines by time period. Ignore my earlier comment.

Thank you Gary!
This is awesome news!!!
Quoted from TheLaw:hmmmmm
Sounds like a trick question/statement....
I'm just very stoked to see the place finally and come out to the show, coming Friday night to hang and chill then to the show in the AM Saturday and through the EM Saturday night tournament. Really excited, taking a road trip with a long time friend who also likes to play pins so should be a real fun trip and show! Happy to here about Gary and Abel bringing Dialed in and some other JJPs. See ya all there looking forward to meeting a lot of great folks! Oh and I heard there will be Pinball too!!!

I'd like to meet you. Look me up. I'll be one of the red shirt techs all three days. Ask for Bruce
Quoted from MrBally:Wow, I'm a pig and never thought of anything remotely along those lines.
Just wanted to say hello and talk pinball for a minute before the boss yells at me for goofing off....
It's cool Bruce, you made the mistake of actually being nice on Pinside, it will get you in trouble sometimes!
I used to reside in the gutter myself, but have finally made it up to the Curb!
See ya there, I'll try to make it a point to stop by and says hey!
Quoted from EchoVictor:Ewww.....none of that in the VFW bathroom stalls....please!
Later,
EV
No worries Echo, nothing inappropriate in the stalls because there's a perfectly good tool shed out back! if you want to find a private spot for, you know...
Quoted from swillie:I have an extra ticket for the Friday EM tournament... pm if interested.
Ticket is sold
Counting down....t-minus 2 days and counting! I used to get this way about Christmas when I was a kid.
Great event (year 3 for me) and getting to talk to some of the folks on here is just as much fun as the pinball. BTW, if anyone needs an original version of the Swinks snack bar mod, I have one I never installed that I can bring to the VFW to sell.
Quoted from BMHouze:Only thong to top this would be having Ted Nugent show up with his namesake autographed by the motor city madman.
I think two tickets are registered to an "Amboy Duke". Not sure which day though. If Uncle Ted shows up with one of the Wangettes, I'm sure the door thugs will let them in as long as they have a copy of their PayPal receipt.
Quoted from SteveF-Detroit:Could you add a place to record a high score so everyone using the app could see it? Sort of an on-line show tournament on every game.
The VFW show can now be a 350+ game LIVE tournament!
Check out the new high score feature(s). All #1 scores are updated every 2 minutes on the main list. Opening the Trophy icon will show you a live view of the top 10 scores & will keep track of whatever scores you submit. Obviously this will have to be on the honor system as far as scores go (and not using inappropriate names for submissions).
I will dump all the score entries before Friday so feel free to test submissions and let me know if anything is acting up. Let me know what you think.

no periods for name submission?
- j.m.
Quoted from BMHouze:How much will the rules posters be?
Must have missed it.
His post says $25 cash
Quoted from Maken:Any chance of a Batman 66, Aerosmith or Alien being there?
Yes, there is a chance.
I wanna play Aerosmith.
BM66 didnt thrill me. and Alien I thought wasnt complete. (I could be wrong)
I told a few people that I would post area pubs/bars that had entertainment (bands). You may need a break if you are there multiple days. I scouted out places in my area (West of US23) and have the following info:
Zukey Lake Tavern is a nice large sports bar that has a lot of different draft beers. They will have a blues band on Friday night and a Country/Classic Rock band on Saturday night. Less than 5 miles West, about 12 min drive.
http://zukeylaketavern.com/Directions_frameset.htm
Pinckney Pub & Grill is a little smaller than Zukey Lake Tavern, has some TVs for watching sports. They will have a Country/Classic Rock band on Friday night, and a Country band on Saturday night. About 10 miles away, about 19 min drive
http://www.pinckneypubandgrill.com/
Hell Saloon ... Ya gotta go to Hell while you're near it. A nice sports bar with good chili. On Friday they will have a Classic Rock band there that also touts guitar solos and riffs. On Saturday night they will have a different Classic Rock band. About 14 miles West, and about a 23 min drive.

along with the new p2k glass ($300 obo), new invisiglass ($295 obo), used RFM ramps ($100 obo) that I will be bringing, I've also got an MEI dollar bill validator (accepts 1s, 2s and new 5s). it works perfectly and includes the necessary cable and the operator's manual ($100)
I will be working the front door with echovictor both friday and saturday if you're interested in any of the above

WHO CARES
WE GOT BIG JUICY MELONS!
And thats all that really matters...
Guisborough
Quoted from Sarge:WHO CARES
WE GOT BIG JUICY MELONS!
And thats all that really matters...
What really matters is that there's a 4 Queens and Gay '90's in that building. Great stuff.
Quoted from thewool:Hey for those that have been before does it get hot in there with all the pins and humans, is it shorts and tshirts?
Cheers!
We are having this show two weeks earlier than in prior years. Air conditioning is usually required due to the heat from the equipment & people. This year it is very cold & damp. Shorts & T-Shirts may not be the most comfortable outfit.
