Take a 2 hour drive to chicago and then finds some nice places to play... Or maybe some pinsiders who invite you into their home. A well titled topic would help draw in the offers for either of those options.
Note: for location plan -- Pinball Map (http://pinballmap.com/chicago) lists 187 locations and 459 machines in the wild... I'm sure some people on here could point out the best places to play (well maintained, good selection) and might even join up with you to play.
