Is the Asteroid Annie a bonus prize? 
The more I look at your AA the more I think that is the nicest backglass in pinball.

Quoted from Zukboy2002:I hate to do this but im selling diner if anybody in the club wants it just hit me up id like to keep it in the loop.
Wish we had room for it again.
Love this pin.
I'm still pumped from our last tournament. Quin and I had a blast! I was a little loopy from lack of sleep, but still a good time! I just want to play more pinball!!! Oh, I did go out and look at current standings on the IFPA.. I'm currently ranked #33 in Louisiana and 500 in Texas. I may need to work on that. This group is awesome... I still can't get over the tournament trophies. Those were above and beyond.

We just had the last of the BBQ.
Man that was some amazing stuff sir.
We brought enough back to share with my whole family.
I think I am still burping smoke.

You are up to 21 in Louisiana right now it looks like, the events all seem to be posting tonight.
Quoted from Spg101:This group is awesome... I still can't get over the tournament trophies. Those were above and beyond.
Heck yes! We will do another big tourney at PavBall and I’s place in April after TPF. You should come to TPF in 2018 in Dallas. Always an awesome show!
It looks like Henry has made the Top 16 by a hair. I assume the results aren’t final until Jan 1, 2018. It would be neat if he were able to compete. I would enjoy coming to the tournament and seeing everyone.
Results of 3 of the 6 tournaments for Romp IV event are now posted on IFPA site (main, Medusa side, & Varkon side).
In the next day or two we should hopefully see results posted for the other 3.
Plus, Lake Charles Fall Pinball League results still have to be posted.
So, there will be some more shuffling around of positions.

Three more events up on IFPA. Only the league has not posted yet. Henry is still in at No. 16, Wendell is the only threat to pass Henry, he needs 0.75 points and he finished third in the league. Third place in the spring league generated 0.41 points, and the leagues were close to the same size I think so Henry should be in.
Quoted from PoBoyPinball:You guys have mini golf at your place?
Yep. 36 Holes.
I loved taking my kids mini golfing when they were younger. I should drag there adult rears over there with me and take them mini golfing. Several times I have thought about doing a small course in my yard.
Quoted from Zukboy2002:Heres my little snowman
Very good for down in Houma, LA. Y'all rarely get enough snow to even make a snowman. I'm sure y'all had fun playing out in the snow.
IFPA should post the league results soon. I had missed an email from them last week with some questions they had regarding format that I have now responded to.
Catacomb is still not in Lake Charles. Turns out the game was more incomplete than we thought so we had to order more parts for it. 
Quoted from PoBoyPinball:nevus let's see some pics of that EBD
Agreed
Quoted from PoBoyPinball:nevus let's see some pics of that EBD
Yea...I heard it was on the way home but still no pics(((
So, it looks like the results for the final tournament have posted to IFPA for the top 16 in Louisiana.
For those of you interested, the game lineup is as follows:
Metallica Pro
TWD Pro
Tron Pro
Aerosmith Pro
Kiss Pro
The Shadow
Skateball
Starship Troopers
Target Alpha
Another unknown EM
We will also have a side tourney on The Hobbit. It will be $5 to enter and a nice trophy will go to the winner. (Plus IFPA points)
Quoted from Jodester:We will also have a side tourney on The Hobbit. It will be $5 to enter and a nice trophy will go to the winner. (Plus IFPA points)
Event now created on Pinside in the Events section. Scroll down to Jan 20th, 2018.
Tournament name = Smaug's Revenge Pinball Side Tournament
Location: Lake Charles, LA
I also filled out and submitted this side tournament on IFPA website to be listed on IFPA Calendar.
It should get reviewed/approved/posted in a few days on IFPA website.
I'm already curious to see what Zukboy comes up with for the trophy design for Smaug's Revenge.
When is the next tournament? I'm still pumped and want to see if I can get the family to help make sausage.. It's not as easy as it sounds.. apparently endured servitude is no longer "a thing".. The sausage is very labor intensive.
Quoted from Jodester:So, it looks like the results for the final tournament have posted to IFPA for the top 16 in Louisiana.
Was the league result that people were waiting on the one that is from March 14, 2017, or was there a later one, too?
I'm going to play in LA if someone drops out before the 20th, otherwise up to Dallas I go.
Quoted from Spg101:When is the next tournament?
As soon as my TNA is here (I'm number 174) we will do Romp V. My prediction is April. I'm ready for another tourney too.

Have Pinball and ready to host any time you Gulf Coasters are up to travel. 
Seriously though, I’ll continue to have RRR in September but will probably add a Spring tournament, even if it’s low attendance. We need some more opportunities for North LA area types to compete closer to home anyway.

Yes, a Spring tourney would be awesome. I think attendance will be good for a spring a Shreveport tourney. PavBall and I couldn't make the one being discussed in Spring of this year due to the new baby but we will make a spring tourney in 2018 if you host one.
They have TNA machines over number 50 going on the line now. I think an April tourney in LC is a pretty safe lock. Scott Danesi is going to come to LC when we do the unboxing and have the tourney and combine it with a live feed and what not. After they ship machine number 100 I'll lock in the date with Scott / Spooky.
Maybe after Mardi Gras (2/13) in Feb 2018. Ill look into it.
TPF is in March and Romp will be in April.

A Feb tourney in Shreveport would be awesome!
Headin' back to Dallas right now but not before making a stop at @jodester's place in a few. Target Alpha isn't shooting straight... yet.

Jodester is about to receive his Jedi training. Have fun my pinball friends.
Hey TigerLaw. Is Game of Thrones color ready when the code drops on the 21st?
The photos so far look stunning.
Makes me wish we still had ours to try it on.
Quoted from Arcade:Hey TigerLaw. Is Game of Thrones color ready when the code drops on the 21st?
Alas, no it is not. Will have to buy a new DMD for it I believe.

Target Alpha is playing great thanks to @nicovolta!!!

So, spike games can be done now. Gives me hope for KISS, and GB. I may want to buy an extra ColorDMD for whichever one I end up keeping.

Nic is the man.
Nice snag
Quoted from Nevus:We picked up a game at Jody’s today, but he wasn’t home.

Quoted from Nevus:Pics on Facebook you Hermits!
I didn’t take a close look everlier, but holy smokes that is a nice looking game. I really believe each game Keith does he gets better at his craft.
How does it play?

I am sorry I missed you guys when you came to Lake Charles. Has the X-Men machine been well received in Shreveport? I love the idea of a Shreveport league and a February tourney, count us in for certain.
