Quoted from Gryszzz:Aha !
Trick question !
I promised to not be drunk while driving Gryszzz's car. Other than that I make no promises.

That sounds super dangerous. Do dodgy foreign guys get a VIP pass?

Quoted from Gryszzz:Hey brother...I'm gonna grab some E-40 off of iTunes. Which one should I start with ? I was digging that "Yup" track....but want to hear from a fan.
I would go with "you and that booty"
Flank, make me a double...
Quoted from rotordave:Do dodgy foreign guys get a VIP pass?
As far as I know, game bringers get up to 4 vip passes so ask around!

That's my folks there!
So when it comes to E-40 you can't really lose, he's been super consistent throughout the years, but I prefer his older material for sure.
I just checked iTunes, I have 447 E-40 tracks. 
One place you could start is with the mix from Oakland DJ Matthew Africa (RIP): https://adp.fm/episodes/yay-game-the-best-of-e-40-mixed-by-matthew-africa/
It's a pretty good overview of his career, he really tried to pick songs from his whole catalog at the time. See which tracks are your favorites, and then grab the album they came off of.
The classics for me are the first ones though, Federal, In a Major Way, Hall of Game, Element of Surprise, and Charlie Hustle. After that they're still good and solid, but not quite as deep. Of his "modern" releases I'd probably grab the Revenue Retrievin' Overtime/Graveyard shift.
To keep this on topic, E-40 has his own wine label, so you could get faded off those for Expo if you wanted: http://earlstevensselections.com
Even modern E-40 though, never lost his game. Who's a better story teller?

I've got a VIP connect. Wait, shit, why did I agree to be the designated driver again? Oh right, the car's DJ knows how to keep me happy.

I thought you were going to Uber cab it?

I was! But then I got an offer I couldn't turn down from my man Gryszzz. He knew my weak spots.

Niiice! I hope they let you get drunk as fuck while you're working that.
What's the story with the VIP room? Do people hosting tournaments get any passes?
Quoted from Gryszzz:We've got time...we'll find a DD to get us back. Surely somebody doesn't like to drink and play pinball....
I'm good man, no worries.
Quoted from Collin:Niiice! I hope they let you get drunk as fuck while you're working that.
Ha! No, I won't be drinking while working. I heard there was an incident years ago.....
Quoted from Collin:What's the story with the VIP room? Do people hosting tournaments get any passes?
No idea other than game bringers get passes, a better Q to ask in the Explosion thread.
Quoted from gweempose:I guess Tecumseh is already drunk ...
Chicken dinner!! (stole that from bangerjay)
Quoted from Gryszzz:I still have 4 seats left...
We came to party.
4 seats for krazy kiwis and nimblepins?

Yep. She has to keep RotorFiona company.

Slick Rick the art of storytelling comes to mind.
Slick Rick aka the story teller.

Quoted from Gryszzz:RD, party of four ?
Right this way...
Sweet!! I have the RD party of 10 but have a few offers of rides ... We will happily take 4 seats in the Grizzmobile
Still sorting out what is happening with Expo Pingolf Friday morning, looks like that finishes 12-12.30ish so we will be sweet to party after that, if that suits.

Quoted from chuckwurt:Damn. I wish I could say I was gonna be there but stupid work is in the way. Maybe next year.
Same. This thread makes me want to go more than anything. Just not in the cards this year, dammit.

I've never heard of E-40 either, but I have now.
I will be drinking in the free play area all night long. all the games to play and no lines. Suckers! I always bring a cooler and put it behind my machine
Quoted from Collin:Yeah, I'm meeting with the Expobrawl guys this Saturday to sort details out. Will let you know after that!
Please keep us posted. I would like to play in team pingolf on Friday morning and be done by 12:30 or 1:00pm at the absolute latest.
I think a good chunk of players feel the same as we would all like to get plenty of time in at explosion also.
