All the usual Gary classics!
- more wire than a ford Taurus
- we are manufacturers
- the ball is wild
- three legs to the stool
- we are manufacturers
- beer with high alcohol content
- I prefer vodka
- we need machines in the street
- we are manufacturers
Cool to see the speech live

The 6 machines from yesterday's Australia/NZ IFPA Metallica contest are on the stage behind Gary.
Final results
1/ Steve Edwards - wins a Met Pro
2/ Rob McCauley
3/ Gavin
4/ Franck Bona
I missed the playoff on the last game by 6m points ddooooooooooooooh
Machines were brutal. Lots of 3m games all round. I think Franck got 2m in the final. He didn't even touch the ball till the third ball.

Quoted from dendoc:HE wouldn't sign my TZ flyer let alone that.
Did sign my Austin Powers flyer, do I need to buy the machine now?
heh. quite possibly the biggest turd of a pin ive played. the avengers, not far behind. : P
Hell of a week of pinball. Us Sydney folk had the Pizza n Pinball tournament on Tuesday, a meet at the Couthouse on Wednesday, Fire Ball tournament on Friday, Aus / NZ Pinball Open final Saturday, a meet on Saturday night at the Courthouse, and then the Pinball Symposium on the Sunday...
I'm beat.
Quoted from dendoc:HE wouldn't sign my TZ flyer let alone that.
Did sign my Austin Powers flyer, do I need to buy the machine now?
Haha he signed my Austin Powers flyer too ... I can put it on my AP!
If I was Gary I wouldn't sign a Williams product either ... He might get sued!
No shit ... As I typed this Gary just walked into Frankie's pizza and pinball and sat next to me.
Good times.
Gary, Franck, me and dan.

Gary was very cool to show up. Frankie's is a bit of a dive bar I guess, with bands etc.
He had a few drinks with us and left around 10 I guess.
The band music was pretty loud, we offered to move into the quiet area but Gary said he liked the music loud like that.
Franck got top score on ACDC BIB 325m, I got second with 229m. Machines flippers stuck a little.

Quoted from ledge:heh. quite possibly the biggest turd of a pin ive played. the Avengers, not far behind. : P
I can think of a lot worse pins than AP.
And Avengers is very good. IMO.
rd.
Quoted from RawleyD:One of the coolest Gary Stern pics I've seen , looks like fun RD.
Yeah man, it was a cool night
