In the club. Thanks for everyone coming by.

That certainly was the creepiest prize to win!!

That's amazing!! We all want pictures please.

Oh Tiger, you arrive at the finish line too quickly. You must show the journey.

And last but not least is my favorite all time pinball machine set up picture. Jody photo bombed Tiger and Ferdinand.

You throw a setting up party for you Ghostbusters LE. TigerLaw and I will happily go.

Why did Preston not play in the Austin Papa tournament?

We are still in Athens visiting my parents. We will go over to the island tonight and take pictures tomorrow. I loved your Facebook pictures.

I have only seen one pinball on rout in Lake Charles. It is the Rolling Stones machine at the movie theater. Tiger says there is a south park in a bar nearby but I've never seen it.

Are you going to make ones for our tournament on August 13 as well?

Hello from Greece.

image_(resized).jpegimage_(resized).jpegimage_(resized).jpeg

It says "Join to Thrive Acadamy". You know Tiger and his libertarian view point on things. He's so cute.

Pinball? There are not even LED lights here. I did see a little "modern arcade" earlier I will take Tiger to tomorrow. He misses our machines. I miss them too!

Thanks for hosting us tonight. We had a great time as always. We made back to New Orleans safe and sound.

Looking forward to Saturday.

Your tournament in September is on Tiger's birthday. He wants to go, so I hope one of the surprises is a cake for Tiger.

Is Allen on Pinside?

What games are you guys bringing to HAAG? Tiger and I are bringing our Quicksilver. Jodester has it running really nicely so we wanted to share it with everyone in Houston.

A little rain is only refreshing, and rejuvenating in our case I am so excited about tomorrow!

Our wonderful friend and tourney director Jodester. Thank you for everything!! I am so happy you won number one on Safe Cracker!!

Hey Pinball-is-great,
Thank you so much for letting me know!
I was very happy to read your message, knowing that Greece can still triumph in certain areas.
Looking forward to see you in Nevus's tournament!

Shocking I say!! Shame on you Zukboy. Already trading XMen? What did that beautiful machine do to you?

What happened to the photos from our tournament? I see them on Facebook but no one posted them here? I like the ones with TigerLaw and Allen!!

We should have the two HEP games, Medusa and TAF, at our house by mid-November. We are looking forward to the next party.

We still struggle to get the live stream going. Are old ones on youtube?

TigerLaw's love for all things evil dead has reached a new low. Now he has a chain saw arm IMG_3390 (resized).JPGcell phone battery charger.

Yay!! Pinball at Jody's!! Tiger is going to be super happy.

That's amazing!! I wish Tiger and I could have gone.

We are in route to HAAG with Quicksilver accompanying us on the back of the car

We hope you host another tournament soon!!

Thanks for all the positive thoughts!! We appreciate it.

I'd like it to be after the Dallas Pinball Festival so I could go to!!

We are very much looking forward to hosting.

Nice Grinch avatar by the way pinball-is-great!!

Thank you for coming by today Nevus and mudflaps. IMG_4704 (resized).JPG

Oh, pinball party and tourney at Mudflaps!!

We enjoyed having everyone over. I wanted to give a special thanks to Jody and Mike for all their effort to make sure the machines performed at high levels.

I hope to play well enough in 2017 to make the tournament cut next year.

What is the next pinball event for the club? The Dallas show?

I just wanted to personally let you all know I'm looking forward to the pin party on June 18th. TigerLaw and Pinball-is-great discussed the details at length tonight and it sounds like it will be a lot of fun. A big thank you to @jahpinwizard for maybe letting us borrow an EM for a day. Sounds like we will have over 25 commitments already, the extra machine will be really helpful. A big thank you to Zukboy2002 for trophies. A big thank you to Spg101 for smoking the meat and bringing it all the way from Houston. A big thank you, as always, to Jodester for keeping everything running properly.

We are exactly one month away from Romp in the Swamp III.

We are online on twitch to watch the mafia. Not letting us talk in chat room right now though. We will download the ap as well and see.

Very nice!! Thank you for posting that!! One day I will win a trophy.

Thank you for the nice letter!! We enjoyed having you two over and hope you come to more events!!

Wish I could make Houma but we will be sorting out our sitter situation then. We will have it figured out in time for the Shreveport tourney for sure though.

Good morning from Greece by the way. IMG_6044 (resized).JPG

I told him he has until tonight to complete the task or I'm running off with his computer to do for us all. I need the points!!

We will have a baby sitter worked out over the next couple of weeks. We will miss no more tourneys.

We look forward to hosting everyone tomorrow!! Maybe we can do the split flipper tournament we’ve been holding the trophies for since the third event we hosted.

Very nice addition!! Any of the Mississippi group of players coming to our house tomorrow for the party?

Thank you everyone from coming. We plan to do it again sometime in April when we have a better idea of the arrival date of TNA.

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.

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.

I didn’t take many photos. These were the top three finishers. TigerLaw tried to run off with the first place trophy.

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

Which game did you end up deciding to get? Did you change your order to Gaurdians?

Welcome to the party. Tiger says you’re getting a Scared Stiff?

I wish I could give that more than a single thumb up.

I am making Tiger take a week off playing pinball. We possibly could locate a machine or two but they are not common in this country. Arcades are not common here except on a couple islands and those are all redemption based. I think he has a deep clandestine plan to try and sneak off with Phillip and Ferdinand who have both just arrived and scrounge around for a pin somewhere but he is on his own there and I am on to him anyway.

I know Tiger is really looking forward to the league starting up again in a couple weeks. Catacomb ended up being the game that came out to fit Speed ‘s WOZ into the league lineup. We ordered the ball gate stopper for the bagatelle from cottonm4 and Jodester has rebuilt the pop bumpers for more action and easier ball locks. Catacomb will be better than ever upon its eventual league return in the future.

Always a sad day seeing a machine leave. Big Buck Hunter is a cool game too. Where is it going? What is taking its place?

We get back around midnight Tuesday. Perhaps we can have a little unboxing party one day next week? We miss you guys!! Off to the baptism this morning though.

TigerLaw has been wanting to go to a show in addition to TPF and HAAG. I’ve promised him we can do a third show in 2019. The Seattle, Denver, and Atlanta shows seem to be the ones we are considering. So sad that New Orleans has no show.

I hear there is a rumor that XQ11 may have ordered an unknown NIB machine. I also hear that TigerLaw ‘s long desired Transformers pin may have been purchased by a friend and may be heading somewhere in to Lake Charles soon. Details on both new machines are scarce.

We are all about to head to the airport. We will see you all soon. Please let us know who all may be coming in for the tourneys on the 22nd and 23rd of this month so that we can plan the food and trophies what not. We hope to see many of you.

Thank you for keeping it at the office for a little while. I was able to play a few games on it and the machine is super nice and plays really challenging. You will have many good times with Elvira and enjoy installing the color DMD and other mods.

We want to see photos of it set up in its home.

I voted for you action76

Also, we have been asked by a couple people what 4 games may be in the Saturday side tournament. TigerLaw has selected CSI for the side tourney and of course I picked Medusa. Jodester will pick one as his liking as one of the four, then the three of us will jointly agree on the fourth game.

As a further update, we are uncertain about TNA’s timely arrival. TNA No. 174 is assembled and at the factory we are told but will not be play tested and boxed up for shipping till tomorrow. If it also ships out tomorrow we will have it for Saturday but there is a good chance it doesn’t ship out till Wednesday and then we will not have it for the tourney. Quicksilver will be in a stand alone tourney in place of TNA if TNA is not here.

Jodster is trying to cryogenically freeze himself, his family, and his guests.

Any thoughts on the Deadpool stream? Tiger only saw a couple minutes and I did not see any of it.

That is good news for everyone!! Congratulations Jodester!!

We are looking very much forward to hosting the league finals tomorrow. The Walking Dead, Sorcerer, Quicksilver, and The Adams Family will decide the season.

Congratulations on the new game!! I am so sorry to miss your tournament this weekend. I look forward to catching up with you at the Houston show. Are you bringing your family this year?

Yes, we will help you any time as well!! Just let us know. How are you feeling today?

Glad to hear the tournament went well. Really wish I could have made it. I think this was the first tournament Nevus had I couldn’t make. Will there be another Shreveport tourney this year?

This would be amazing. Do we have the dates?

This could get tricky for a couple of us.

Perhaps next weekend we can have a sitter and both go.

Hi club!! I haven't logged in to Pinside in awhile. I wish I could have been here for the pinball swap a couple weeks ago. All the machines are working as they should be now. The tournament should a lot of fun!! No one has mentioned any plans for food for the tournament. Is the plan to just grab pizza or something?

Looking forward to seeing everyone!!

Thank you for taking such good care of Star Trek for us. It is playing great. Did you install lit speakers? I don’t remember it having those?

James said he would host one this year in his new game room. Did he ever find a name for his annual tourney?

The boys had a lot of fun. Thank you for hosting. Sorry I couldn’t make this one but I will try and coordinate the sitter for your fall tourney. Do you have the date for fall?

Hello from Galveston Pinside friends!!

Other than Jody’s event on July 5, what other events are there in Louisiana this year? Jodester and Tiger need to register the next league as the current one is ending in two weeks.

These photographs were too amazing not to post here as Little Tigerlaw is starting to love playing pinball with his daddy.

The games we are planning to sell to gain space and money for Stranger Things and Rick & Morty are Target Alpha, Attack From Mars, and Sorcerer. We have worked out a temporary trade with the Moncla Family of Sorcerer for Firepower so we will sell Sorcerer after that trade is done.

We may sell one or two more out of X-Men, Iron Man, Star Trek and The Walking Dead but we can’t yet agree on which ones. TigerLaw doesn’t particularly want to sell X-Men or Star Trek, I don’t particularly want to sell Iron Man or The Walking Dead. We want to add Jurassic Park and know we will want Guns N Roses so we recognize we will have to part with two out of the four mentioned. If someone local is particularly interest in one of the four mentioned, let TigerLaw or Jodester know as that would likely impact which ones we would sell. We can remove the colorDMD to sell the games cheaper as we kept all the old dmd when we upgraded the displays.

We listed all four games today.

Thank you so much for coming by today and helping to get things sorted out. We appreciate you!!

We look forward to the day we can restart the league and have a tournament or two. We have fun things planned.

TPF announced the event dates for March 2021. We tried to book a room but they are not accepting bookings at this time. We absolutely will plan to attend TPF next year.

Early 2020 you meant to say. I didn’t know about this Mississippi event. Would have been way more fun than Toledo Bend. We will make the next one.

We are revamping the collection a bit everyone. Last year we sold Sorcerer, Target Alpha, XMen, TWD, and AFM...but added Elvira3, BKSOR, and Shrek. A TMNT Pro should arrive tomorrow. Sold our Metallica last week, selling Solar Ride, BM66 and TNA. Tiger wants to get both Godzilla and Queen when they are released, which he believes are the next two in a row from Stern. We are trying to get a GnR LE also.

We are awaiting the arrival of our GnR LE today. It looks like it make it in this afternoon.

I hope to see everyone soon. Tiger said he spoke with Dennis and the Mafia will come stream the unboxing of Ultraman when it arrives, which should be sometime over the next few months.

So happy to be seeing so many new players lately. Sorry to miss you all at HAAG everyone. Hope to see you all at TPF if not before.

You and Jessica should come stay with us if you are going to go to Bfults ’ event.

Great photos!!

Sorry that Tiger and I missed it. We’ve been so tied up at home. My plan is to rejoin the pinball tourneys next year.

Your tournaments always look so amazing. I really can’t wait to make it to one. Next year will be my year.

Dear Friends:
I am so sorry to post this but I have no choice but to cancel the Lake Charles Women’s Open tomorrow. I was diagnosed with the flu on Wednesday and I had hoped to be feeling well enough to host by Saturday but I am still feeling awful and worried I’m still contagious. I will be texting Jessica and some others that planned to come in separately and Tigerlaw will let the IFPA know.
