Quoted from Jamie_H:Hey guys, new to the scene, up in North LA. Took the family to the TPF this past weekend, it was great. Hope to meet you guys soon...
Welcome Jamie! Glad to have you here. I wish I could have met you at TPF. I am from the Jackson, MS area and there is not much going on here with pinball but I hope to change that soon. I come to LA for pinball events a good bit, so I hope to meet you soon.

Welcome there is a pinball tourney coming up in Lake Charles (J&T 28th wedding anniversary tourney, that’s what I’m telling my wife) maybe we can all meet you then. If not there will be some more tourney’s in the state and there is always HAAG expo.
That’s really not the name of the tourney but don’t tell my wife that.
Quoted from PoBoyPinball:J&T 28th wedding anniversary tourney
The trophies aren’t made yet. We can rename the Side Tourney whatever we want to name it. “The J&T 28th wedding annivery classic’s tourney” sounds as good of a name as simply the classics tourney does to me. You’re for sure coming? How about the Mrs?
Yes I’ll be there on the 7th I got the green light to go. I don’t think my wife will be with me.
You can name the side tourney what ever you want. I’ve just been telling her that’s what it was named and that we had to go. 
I hit it pretty heavy with cleaner last night. 
It’s a fun game. Shots aren’t too hard. Henry was having some long ball times. I’m lookin forward to getting the bad voice overs off and the new Cleland code on it.
They lifted scenes directly from the movie and then dubbed in really bad voice over. The Cleland package just drops the original audio back in.
So, it looks like I am in on ACNC. I liked the game shots a lot and decided it should be my first Spooky game.
Quoted from Jodester:So, it looks like I am in on ACNC. I liked the game shots a lot and decided it should be my first Spooky game.
Congrats Jody! That’s going to be an awesome game for sure.
Got my first payment invoice for TNA today. Woot!
TPF-2018 was a lot of fun, and quite awesome.
Enjoyed playing in the Classics Tournament, and I'm glad that I started my qualification games early on the Fri morning when the line queues weren't very long. By the afternoon the queues were already getting to be 12 players long. I finished in 51st place out of about 135 to 136 players entered.
I had some good scores here and there over the weekend in the free play area.
However, I was tormented by the pinball gods occasionally. 
Read the rules card on Trilogy Brewing Co. pinball machine, then zoom in to see my score (player 2 that is).

They had at least 3 of The Incredible Hulk pinball machines there at TPF this year (and Lou Ferrigno was there too).
I got the high score on one of the machines that was set up beside Lou's booth.

Did you flex for Lou afterward Mike?
I installed Cleland’s sound package for GOTG today. It really makes the game more enjoyable. Lots of great music and movie callouts! 
Quoted from Jodester:So, it looks like I am in on ACNC. I liked the game shots a lot and decided it should be my first Spooky game.
We were very impressed with it as well.
We talked a lot about it on our live stream Sunday night.
Quoted from Nevus:BBB is shipping out!
If that thing gets damaged the way it was packed, time to look at ins fraud..lol
They would really have to try to mess it up
Quoted from Arcade:We were very impressed with it as well.

Was the chat working Sunday night? I tried to make a few comments, but looked like it might be broken again.
Quoted from Nevus:BBB is shipping out
Congrats on the sale! Where is it going?
Quoted from TigerLaw:Congrats on the sale! Where is it going?
I'm not sure of the ultimate destination. I'm selling to a trader who deals in some of the less common titles etc.
Our new favorite game!
I am really glad I gave this one a chance. The Cleland code is awesome to the point it reminds me of Mustang with the music upgrades. All of the hits from the movies are in the game plus original call outs from the films. A new code update was shown at TPF should be released soon.
New balls, clear Titan rings, a shaker motor and some additional plastic protectors on the way now. Mirror blades going in as well.
Quoted from Nevus:I just found out that I’m out for the Houston show. 25th college reunion for the wife.
Have they set the dates for HAAG?

You need to let Josh know so the trophies reflect the name change for the classics division.

It started working eventually. Turns out Preston hit a button before the stream and all that could get through were posts with cursing in them. lol

Well $%!#...
Quoted from Jodester:Well $%!#...
Yea. It was actually very funny when we figured out what was going on.
Quoted from PoBoyPinball:Have they set the dates for HAAG?
Yes. October 19 & 20, 2018.
This was announced at/during TPF weekend.
Edit: at a new location with a lot more floor space.

Is the reunion in Shreveport, or elsewhere?

Thanks one more reason I need to go to TPF to get HAAG updates

We booked our hotel room yesterday for HAAG. Super excited to check out the new hotel for the event.
Quoted from PavBall:You need to let Josh know so the trophies reflect the name change for the classics division
Yes, I’ll reach out to him tomorrow.
Speaking of Friday Night Special III, I believe we decided to hold that event at the office instead of the Hilliard’s home due to Kristine and Benjamin having an out of town appointment they were not expecting. So the event is still happening on Friday, just at the office instead (the two Saturday tourneys will be at our house as has always been planned). We will post a sign at the Hilliard’s home with the new address should anyone show up there by mistake on Friday.
Can you PM me the office address, I'm going to try make both Friday night and Saturday tourney. I haven't been to the Office.
Quoted from PoBoyPinball:Can you PM me the office address, I'm going to try make both Friday night and Saturday tourney. I haven't been to the Office
Sent! If anyone else needs the address please pm me or text PavBall or Jodester. Thanks!

Same room reserved for HAAG. New digs look nice.
Thanks got the address Hope to make both Friday and Saturday, Saturday is a go for sure.
Pinsider BigBangBack started a new thread called something like: Pinball Poker Tournament in Boston
Perhaps we could come up with a poker format and bet limits that could make for an entertaining side tourney, or after-tournament drinking game. 
Revenge From Mars is heading to Vegas. I hope you enjoy the game ThomasH
Seawitch is coming to Lake Charles. Thank you Xerico
----------------------
Regarding the Friday tourney: Starship Troopers will be added to the line up at my office courtesy of Ferdinand (who will not be able to attend due to recent fatherhood and lawschool tests). So the Friday night tourney will have five games.
Pinball-is-great what time does the Saturday tourney start? The Mafia is going to show up early and install Twilight Zone and take The Walking Dead. So, TWD will not be in the tourney, late arrival for the tourney is Twilight Zone. I do not expect any other different games than I normally have gang, but do be advised WH2O is still in my collection and DW is not.
Quoted from Mudflaps:Does this game have a wizard mode?
They will drop that code update a week after you sell the game.
Tiger,
I'm sort of flexible as to start time for the Sat tourneys, but typically we have players arrive starting around 11:30 am so they can practice and get signed up, eat lunch, etc. Have pre-tourney mtg at around 1 pm, and start tourney around 1:30 pm.
What is the earliest you would like players to arrive? 11 am? 11:30 am?
Perhaps we could start the qualifications games for the classics side tourney first.
Then start the main tourney.
Do the play-offs/finals for the side tourney later on in the day. Just a suggestion.
Quoted from Pinball-is-great:Special when Lit
Just like me!
