Sign me up as a Pinhead who is located in the Fraser Valley

I lived in Abbotsford for awhile, but now I'm in Calgary does that count?

Rock on! Shouldn't be too hard to organize with just the two of us. We'll have to figure something out.

Do you cheer for the Calgary Flames or by chance are you still a Canucks fan? If you're still a Canucks fan then it's all good, you're welcome to stop by and play whenever you're out this way

Just kiddin....if you're cheering for the Flames it's still all good, Flames fans are welcome as well! I've got some family in Calgary and I've always liked the Flames (especially back in the late 80s when they had guys like Mullen, Loob, Gilmour, Nieuwendyk, Macinnis, Suter, Fleury and good ol' Mike Vernon between the pipes). Man they had an awesome team back then.

I most definately am not a flames fan. Still hold the canucks dear, them and the jets.

Love the Jets as well, it's awesome to see them back in Winnipeg! Best thing the NHL has done in a long time was to put a team back there.

Loads of pinball in the Fraser Valley and Tri-Cities, Vancouver

FWIW I used to live in Calgary back in the 70's now in Coquitlam, I am not a fan of either the Flames and Stampeders. Now I was a fan of the Calgary Cowboys remember them?

I was born in 75 and lived in Manitoba til I was 18 so no recollection of the cowboys. I do however see actual cowboys in Calgary almost daily.

Also didn't recall the Calgary Cowboys but a quick google search brought up plenty of information for the 2 year stint the Calgary Cowboys had in the WHA. Sure was a long time ago.

Excellent point WOZ about the Vancouver Regional Pinball Association, definitely lots of good pinheads there.

Oilers rule...Flames and Nucks can eat it

Oh Tron is amazing too...

Tom

Placing 29th out of 30 last year is not my definition of ruleing.
Although it's better than 30th out of 30 so I guess it's still an improvement on the two years previous.

They rule the draft hahah

Got that right. On my Yahoo Fantasy team I've got Nugent Hopkins and Yakupov, looking forward to seeing what those two young studs will do! I drafted Yakupov back in September of 2011 and I've been waiting for a long time now to actually see him play in the NHL.

That they do.

I'm in the valley, we're not that rare!!

Oh, and GO LEAFS!!!

Well Sean it looks like our Tron festivus has went from just the two of us to possibly 6, all in just 1 day! Just have to get Meh out from Calgary and Tomdotcom down from the Loops and we've got some good times.

As of this point we've got a couple of Canuck fans, and the Jets, Oilers, Leafs and the Calgary Cowboys covered as well. Just have to round up a Flames fan, Habs fan and a Nordiques fan and we've got all of Canada squared away!

It's just like what Hannibal of the A Team used to say, "I love it when a plan comes together" (well as of right now we don't have a plan, but hopefully we'll be able to pull something together).

I'm a Habs and Oilers fan. And I vacation in Kelowna. Can I join? You guys can play my collection if you are ever in Edmonton.

Another nice goal by Yakupov in OT tonight... If Hemsky would stop overhandling the puck and pass he could get 30 this year.

Another one for the Oilers and we can cross the Habs off our list, got that one taken care of. Nice.

You bet you can join, one can never have enough pinball friends! If you vacation in Kelowna I've got an A-Team type plan coming together....I'll put the Tron in the back of the Enclave and head on up, Sean you get the generator, some gas and bring your laser level, Tom you bring the external sub, and the rest of the fellas can bring the beer and lawnchairs and we'll meet on the beach and set up shop. Well have the Tron pumping in no time and keep it rockin' through the night. Might even meet some new friends as well... (or some enemies depending on how late at night it is and how loud it is).

Apollyon - just might take you up on the offer, my dad lives out in Vegreville and every once in a while I'll get back there to visit him. Next time I'm in Edmonton I'll let you know, and if you're ever out in the Port Coquitlam area feel free to stop by.

Saw that the Nailer bagged another one, so far the rookie is looking pretty good!

Pinball beach party, woohoo, that sounds like hella good, times!

Buckles - just PM me and let me know when you are going to be in town. Happy to have you over.

Sounds like a plan, thanks for the invite!

So beach party with no bottoms allowed. Got it. I'll bring the sausage... Oh no wait, you meant something else. Nevermind.

..on your way to Kelowna... stop in Kamloops! We have a great line of of pins at The Fun Factor Fun Centre. Currently we have brand new ACDC, Transformers, Addams Family, SWE1. Also a great selection of pinballs at our other Fun Centre at Scotch Creek Fun Centre located by Shuswap Lake (Open May until September!) - trying to keep pinball alive our in the wild west of the the Interior!

Anytime Sean, and remember, also got cold beer in the fridge!

Anytime we're driving through the Loops' we always make a pit stop (usually McDonalds). Next time I think we'll shake things up, would much rather play a few games of pinball versus picking up a Big Mac

How about those hawks? Lots of pinballers in the valley just maybe not so much in the wack

I drive through there every year Alaska bound would love to stop by and playa pin or too as I go about 4 months without playing much

How about those Hawks? Guess we'll find out tonight Trev?

I was lucky enough to see Bobby Hull playing with the Jets and I still have the program from the game.

VRPA membership is capped out at the moment - so you may have to go on the wait list if you want to join. There is a web-only membership option.

BTW local pinball celebrity Robert Gagno will be in attendance at the Canucks/Hawks game tonight

Yes, to watch the shit hawks kill the Canucks. 6-2 in hawks favour, my lock of the week.

I used to get out there often. To Surrey. And, in your town of Chilliwack; I called on Ty-Crop Industries.

I used to call on Magnum Trailer in Abbotsford. They make most of the luggage transport trailers used in Canadian Airports.

Got my pilots license at BC Helicopters right close to the airport there in Abbotsford, can't say I miss that town much. Vancouver was awesome though.

Canucks win 2-1 in penalty shoot out.

Got any Superbowl predictions Trev?

How about those hawks now?

Gatorade me bitch.

How the Canucks doing these days...anymore cup runs lately?

Guess they gonna ride luongo all the way to league cellar. Oh well in 10 years they can try and build a new team after luongo and the sisters retire.

I'll be there on Friday and hopefully Sunday if I qualify for the finals. It would be great to meet up with some fellow Pinsiders as I know there are quite a few from Vancouver area now.

Good luck everyone, I won't be able to make it this year, but it was a great event last time, and looks to be even better this go around!! Here's me from last year

Well, if the offer is open, I happen to make my way to the Kootenays all the time!
I just moved out to Nanaimo, but have family out in Grand Forks and Kelowna. How's about a couple rounds o ST?! Beer's on me of course!
