I get winks from the ladies all the time, but it's usually because they have something stuck in their eye.

I finally got around to donating (sorry for the delay!), and I only wish I could have donated more. But more money to Lloyd meant that I'd also have to donate more to St. Jude's, which is my charity of choice - I simply couldn't justify one without the other and couldn't afford both. On a music teacher's salary, this hobby is tough enough as it is!
But I wanted to publicly thank Lloyd for helping this noob get started in the hobby. For being so patient when I was stupid about pinball and when I couldn't even find my way around the underside of the PF. And for that phone call once which was such a thrill for me that I could barely comprehend what he was trying to say.
Thank you, Lloyd. And although you asked me not to call you Lloyd the Great in our emails, you are just that and more. I wish you all the continued success and blessings for you and your business that you so rightfully deserve, and I vow to stop by and see you and Prada the next time I'm in the Twin Cities. Much love from Jersey!
I actually think people donating stuff in mini auctions is a great idea and a wonderful way to keep the money coming for LTG. we should easily be able to clear 15k with some donated stuff. I'd be happy to help with some when I get he next week from vaca. Anybody else have anything interesting?
It would be great if somebody could YouTube some before and after footage of the inside of SS Billiards so that people can see what it looks like now versus what it looks like when the improvements are made. It would make donors feel really good about how their money was spent to help a great guy out, and save us the air fare to have to see it in person! Can anyone do that and post a link?
Quoted from LTG:I am planning before and after pictures. And Charlie offered to do YouTube, which will happen.
Kris will keep track of what went where and for what, including donated items. So if anyone that donated would like to know, we can tell them.
Every cent will go into the business. And used as wisely as possible. So we get the best value possible.
LTG : )
Hey, Lloyd! I think everybody trusts you to spend the money wisely. That wasn't the point of my post at all. I just wanted to see your place before and after so I can see the result of people banding together to help a great guy. As far as my donation goes, I'd be happy if you bought Prada a steak and treated yourself to a nice dinner. You spend it how you see fit. It's my thanks to you for the help you've given me in the past, and I only wish I could have given you more!

Quoted from LTG:You are always welcome to move here, or visit.
Let me know in advance if it's a visit and I'll whip out the Cheese Pump just for you.
LTG : )
Thanks, Lloyd. You know, we say we'll "whip out the Cheese Pump just for you" here in Jersey, too. But it means something waaaaaaaay different. 
I'll tell you what...if Lloyd can finally convince Jack to make some JJP neon signs like I've seen at a couple arcades in Jersey, I'll buy Lloyd's so he can "freshen" up his window with some new neon bling! That would make 3 signs that I know Jack could sell...he keeps telling me they have to be made by a manufacturer that can make them sturdy enough for shipping. Mine doesn't need to be sturdy because I'm in Jersey!
Get on that, Lloyd...and we'll both have some nifty signs! Congrats on the epic fundraiser in your honor...you deserve it!
FINAL BUMP!!!
Quoted from lordloss:Wow, so now we're up to $15,040. This is amazing.
Yes...should be enough to buy a new killer cheese pump that can shoot cheese about fifty yards. Get one of those, and I am SO on my way to Minnesota, baby!!!

Quoted from Beatnik-Filmstar:for the longest cheese pump keg stand.
Ugh. I'm so jealous. Can somebody please post pics to show us what we missed?
I'm about to buy two tickets on United for you and your damn cheese pump. Isn't it about time for you to visit the JJP factory? Must ... have ... cheese ...
That New Jersey Easy Cheese crap just ain't cutting it.

Quoted from LTG:I am sorry for those that couldn't make it. Either because I didn't get the word out to them, or other things going on. I've been promoting the refresh party since January 1st on Facebook, here, emails, and telling people. And it's been posted in the business since January 1st.
I gave up years ago trying to schedule events around others. Mine get trampled on anyway. The Pinball Circus I schedule a half year to 3/4ths of a year in advance. This party was scheduled in hopes that a couple surprises would be there. Which sadly weren't.
I did the best I could and sorry I couldn't please everybody.
LTG
You made me happy. I was just happy to SEE the infamous cheese pump.
