I can't wait!
Quoted from Gryszzz:A magical ticket fairy visited me last night and left a ticket under my pillow FUCK YEAH!
THANKS BUDDY!
Thanks to whomever did this for Gryszzz. I hate seeing him cry. 
Just a heads up... There's a new cook this year at the VFW. the old cook has to go to some kid's graduation from UofM... new cook is younger and more energetic. but this is his first run, so i don't know how those beans will stack up... old cook's beans were pretty good. hoping new guy holds that bar.

Clay,
Thank you for the kind comments and glowing appreciation for me handling the VFW show concessions for the past 6 shows.
BTW: The "kid" is my son, and it's called The University of Michigan. The degree is Bachelor of Science- Mechanical Engineering. Stephen (my son) also thanks you for the kind mention.
Now go get your shine box.

Cool looking merch! Any chance of a 20 oz+ sized glass? 
as far as I know, we *will* be holding an e.m. tournament on friday
plans for saturday evening are still up in the air (last year literally kicked my ass and I was beat after two 12+ hour days. I guess I'm not young anymore 
We are getting there Thursday night and will plan on the EM tournament assuming it happens. I’d be willing to help with anything Saturday night if need be too.
everyone will be subject to bill's strict rules and more of my jackassery once again
we might try something different for saturday evening, if we decide to do something. if, and that's a big IF, we do decide to do something, it's going to be limited to 16-32 people and will run after the show closes @ 8pm
I am absolutely game for both. Both tournaments were a lot of fun last year and I was able to meet a lot of good dudes. Clay, should we just check this topic for the tournament update or should I refresh your website every two hours?

Physically you looked great and you kept your humor solid till at least 10:30
so I am hoping to get the first parking spot again this year. I will be doing some heavy "metal" tailgating again this year. Anybody that wants to pull up a chair and share some killer beers, come on by. Was thinking of having t-shirts available for sale. "Vintage Flipper World Craft Beer Parking lot Tailgate Showcase 2019 Bitches" done in the Supreme logo. Anyone interested? trying to fit enough words to wrap all the way around. out of staters are welcome. bring high octane and we will all share what we got. I typically bring nothing less than 11%er's so guaranteed a good time!!!
And on the other spectrum you'll find me on the happy trail starting miniature forest fires one joint at a time.out of staters welcome and I'll bring enough for everyone.
Quoted from Puffdanny:Friday and Saturday for me
Sweet dude, a pre EM tourney bourbon breakfast stout on me man! Oh yeah, also have you destroyed that damn craigslist toy pinball machine yet?
JM has this crazy idea of an upright EM tournament for saturday night. I would include games like Bally Skill Roll (there's 3 different models, of which we have them all), Ice Cold Beer, and Ringer/Penny pinch games (we have several of those too.) And roll down games. It's a bizarre idea and obviously we would keep the number low (probably 24 to 36 people.) Does anyone have any input on this?
Id be down to play, but I have no idea how to play any of those games. Haha. Willing to learn though!

Same. I don't know how to play them, but I am super interested in participating.
Quoted from Jjsmooth:+2
64 person pinball tourny all the way.
this is an additional tourney that we are considering. the EM world pinball tourney will still occur on friday before the show starts
Hoping and praying for the show's sake, that the weather that weekend is perfect. No snow or rain. Maybe a light breeze with temps in the 70s. It was a bit chilly and mucky when i was able to attend 2 yrs ago. Not going this year, but going to try make plans for 2020. Truly a show not to be missed. Everyone must attend at least once in their lifetime even if you are from the west, south or east. If you are from midwest consider yourselves lucky ducks. Cheers Tom
the 70s the first week in may in michigan? ha! there have been years where we've gotten snow
I'd settle for high 50s to low 60s and a dry and mild weekend

I really enjoyed the Saturday tournament last year. Game selection was great and so was the group. I think the only flaw with it was the winner would be put in the queue instead of the loser. If you lost then you had to play someone who won their match. It was pretty easy to get on a 8+ game winning streak that way if you found yourself in the “winner’s row.” I would make it to where a winner had to play a previous winner. That way you wouldn’t see huge streaks for either side. I vote for this again!
