    Yep, not far away either. This game was at TPF last year,

    Quoted from Mudflaps:

    Yeah! Congratulations on the HEP Genesis!

    That would actually be freaking awesome to see!

    #4255 4 years ago

    We played that game at TPF Chris. It was a really cool game I had never seen before. Congrats!

    #4263 4 years ago

    In planning to be there at some point Friday. Can I pay you and pick my shirts please sir.

    #4264 4 years ago

    Yup, I should have the shirts. Currently in production!
    We're gonna look like a pinball gang if we all wear them.

    #4265 4 years ago

    I’m headed over on Thursday and Nicholette will be joining me on Friday.

    Nice!

    Henry and I hosted a Pinsider, scottieIA and his friend from Iowa last night. They are in town doing some professional training. I forgot to take pics. Always good to meet new Pinball people.

    #4269 4 years ago

    What a bunch of arcade thugs and pinball junkies.

    #4270 4 years ago

    We enjoyed hosting a couple old friends over to the house for pinball, good wine, and good company this evening. Always a blast to enjoy pinball together and see these two.

    Not Pinball, but I wanted to share with my buddies. Stephanie and I stood on hallowed ground last night at really fun event. This was my first time in the dome and touching the field. I have to admit, I was a little bit star struck with an inanimate object. Sir Saint came waking by and we had to get a picture. I want to go see a game at the dome right freakin now.

    For those of you traveling to Houston next week for the big show, I wanted to make sure you all knew that the bus trip to the Lone Star Pinball Museum on Friday is now free. It leaves at 2 and returns at 7.

    http://www.arcadecenter.com/index.php/lone-star-pinball-museum-bus-trip/

    Also, don't forget they are giving away a Jurassic Park pinball machine. Raffle tickets only sold at the show. $25 each or 5 for $100.

    See you there!

    One heck of a football game yesterday. It is hard to describe how negatively eight strait years of losing to Alabama has impacted LSU. Watching LSU being able to move the ball and score touchdowns was almost surreal after years of being shut out.

    Anyway, glad we have Coach O and Joe. 23470D42-193F-49AD-AEFF-7D6CB58D28CB (resized).jpeg23470D42-193F-49AD-AEFF-7D6CB58D28CB (resized).jpeg

    I’m totally getting a raffle ticket this year. Is there a limit to how many they are selling?

    Can’t wait for Haag. Jodester and I are leaving Thursday morning to head over there. PavBall will join us Friday evening.

    EBD for Quicksilver yes sounds good.

    Pav will never let Quicksilver leave the house. I can loan out Sorcerer though on a temp trade.

    Found a new place to eat on the way home from the expo Nutten special or should I say fancy.

    It was great seeing all of you at the show. Congratulations to our tournament winners. I have no female pinball players in my family, but I couldn’t help noticing how great the women’s tournament appeared from a distance. It was great having it in the main room for exposure. I loved the banner. Congrats to all of our friends who made it happen.

    Besides the ones already spoken for, I heave one collared shirt $40 (xxl) and t-shirts $25 in Large, XL, and XXL. I’ll bring them to the Romp in December and or I can mail them for a few bucks postage. Thanks to all for supporting the project. We looked like a pinball gang on Saturday.

    A few pics from the weekend.

    First of all, how dare you! Second of all, I have no good follow up. Sorcerer is great in every single way. Somehow Quicksilver keeps ending up in league play, though...

    We need to find a way to get Star Trek back in the rotation.

    #4286 4 years ago

    Nevus I was serious about buying one of those Louisiana Pinball Circuit shirts. They are great!

    #4287 4 years ago

    No more with the collar, but I have t-shirts in L, XL and XXL

    #4289 4 years ago

    Well, it's not a tournament, but Tilt and I are putting on this event tomorrow night!

    https://www.facebook.com/events/808513382898666/

    Just trying to build some interest/involvement, teach some basics, and help folks enjoy pinball more!

    If you keep having events there and getting the word out people will come. For years the Lake Charles pinball community was basically just me, Jodester, and Wendell...we kept hosting events for Lake Charles based locals and eventually people started showing up.

    If you host them they will come. Try doing even more free advertising through your Facebook page.

    Indeed TigerLaw . Thanks for the encouragement!

    #4292 4 years ago

    I picked up a SI project in Lexington, SC this morning. Needs a good bit of cleaning, new set of rubbers, some de-rusting and the high voltage board needs to be recapped. It came with a replacement overlay, but I'm thinking I can hold out for one of the CPF playfields, since I've read some horror stories and I'm still a rookie. Appreciate any tips ya'll can pass my way. Can't wait to get this back to Louisiana and get to work on it...

    We had a dozen at the Pinball 101 event last night. A couple familiar faces and many new ones. No pinball newbies. Everyone was a player, and we had a great time! Tilt let me open up a machine for those who'd not seen a modern machine, gave us play cards, and didn't nag us when we realized we were still playing past closing time! More events to come!

    Good job Scott. Way to go.
    Happy Thanksgiving!

    #4295 4 years ago

    Great event! Here’s one more of Scottslash preaching pinball in the wilderness of NELA!

    Looks like you all had some fun. I’d like to have a Black Knight near me to play.

    #4297 4 years ago

    Did you teach the NE LA pinball players how to do slide saves and slap saves, or is that gonna be in the 102 class?

    Did they get to see you get pissed and tilt machine and lose your end of ball bonus?
    Oh wait, I guess Preston or TigerLaw can teach that technique.

    Holler if you see any good SS deals in the sub-$2k range. I'd like to add a few games to my collection.
