Wow. Feel like a Muslim that finally made it to Mecca. Not really, but this is hallowed ground for me. Finally a Pinsider !! Seriously stoked about this.First pin, first post. Bloomington IN at the party now.

As the needle is dragged across the vinyl....

Cue crickets. And that guy with the bad jokes.

I bought an Indianapolis 500 last month. Up for " Most Faded Cabinet of All Time" Award. But playfield, backglass, lights, everything seems great to me. Cant stop playing it.

Thanks Kyle, Mr. Warlock. Buying new glass from Doc Pinball this week. Man I love this game!

Hellloooo Pamela Gardner !! My goodness...

Caligirl, wondering if you found any pin spots ? I love Indy, but sometimes it strikes me as the short-bus of the midwest....I mean, we're 3 times the size of St Louis, yet they have bad ass pinball joints all over town. Am I missing something in Indy ? Best of luck to you and your Mom.

Anybody going to watch the tournament at Conseco tomorrow ? Some good games. Go Big Red...but lets face it...WI just buries teams. I think headed to Final Four. GO IU !

Kinda late, but Im having some friends over tomorrow for Colts game. Open invitation to all Hoosier Pinsiders. Only have 2 pins, but Im ready for some football !!
Go Blue !!

Mathis out for year ??!!
Werner better step way up.
Dont even get me started on our center, who we cut once already. Damn.
But...seems like a lot of 6 game injuries for a lot of teams.

Whassamatta ?
Y'all dont like Schlitz and wrasslin ?
Pansies.

Thats Buster with a capital B.

Crawfish you are welcome to stay at my house anytime.
Lets party !

Um,....no...and...

No.

I play for fun man !

Edit : and I suck. Not tournament stuff here...

But I love Louisiana !
And some po boys !

Greatest live band on planet,

SUMMON THE DESTROYER

Souls guaranteed to be frozen tonight !

Happy Wild Turkey Day Hoosiers !

Sure hope one of yous guys got that $1400 Bad Cats off of Indy Cringelist.

I live in B Town. By Lake Monroe.
Student Union has 4 pins. I have 2.
Im down for some pints and pinball.

Supermoot- did you go to the Skycurser ( new stand up arcade) launch @ Fountain Square Brewery Fri. night ?
I had my kids...wanted to make that so bad. One of the developers, Chris Cruz, is one of my favorite drummers.
Are there pins in Fountain Square ?

In my best Three Stooges :
Hello,...hello....hello !

Supermoot-- I was gonna just pm ya a few questions,...but for Chrissakes, if you cant read that triple super-post, I cant help ya.

Edit : Ok, now its a double super post. Thanks mods.

Nate Olp ? Dude is a god amongst men. My favorite screamer that ever came outta IN. And thats a list with a lot of damn talent bro. Nate was vox and Chris was battery for Demiricous. First album, DEMIRICOUS I, on Metal Blade. First two, actually. But Demiricous II is with Dustin Bjoltes...now drumming his ass off in Skeletonwitch. Crazy world.
Did you say Hollywood Heat ??

The Slippery Noodle was my wife and I's first date.
I fell in love at the Donkey Kong.

Pimp !
Pink is my favorite crayon.

Who's going to see Weezer ? Im going. Imagine Dragons, although way too "pop" for me, still like the big bass drum beating put on by vocalist. I'll be the guy looking just like Buddy Holly.

If you want to destroy my sweater.....

Super-group.
Like Damn Yankees.

Having small get-together Sat night in Bloomington. You are all welcome to come, just pm me. Violin Steve coming in with family to hit race Sunday. My first time taking my kids to track, should be a lot of fun. Less tits, but more family hill is ok,... for this year atleast.
Anybody going to the Greatest Spectacle in Racing this year ?
Wifey driving, so kids or not,..its still PARTYTIME !!

For anybody not in the know, the pre, post, and generally anytime party is at Scottys Lounge ; 30th and Georgetown.
Pauly we should have an 11 am beer there.

"I could tell you were sorry from across the street."
-Mr. Russ Settle, great guy, owner, and cantankerous barkeep at The Red Key Tavern,...c.. 1995.
RIP Russ.

He was/is my favorite bartender of all time
If you cursed, you got one warning...then...bye
We lived at 52nd and College for a couple years....was nice.

If my I500 makes it through Expo in one piece, I'll be glad to bring it.
Sounds like me and ForensicD are in.
Carpoolin....

See you kids tonight at MOTORHEAD.
I'll be the guy in the MOTORHEAD shirt.

Tonight in Indy, at the Fifth Quarter---the legends themselves--- D.R.I. !
Caution- You'll get dragged down beneath the wheel, in the pit..jpg

Fountain Square Classic.
Something to look forward to after Expo....bringing Mustang.

Getting ready for a major ass whopping on Sat. I've been to 4 Expos, 3 whorehouses and 2 goat-fuckings, but never played in a tournament. Never been so stoked for a beatdown.
Last place still gets...a beer....so I'm good.

Woo-hoo !! For my 1st tourney ever, super happy with 34th outta 48. Was an agave-soaked party with a bunch of great peoples. Pinball peeps are the BEST !

Big thank you to Jon and the La Margarita staff (especially my kick ass bartender Luke!) for putting this on. So fun, wish we could do 2 a year.
Thanks gang !

Ok guys who would be down for a once/twice a month casual league in Bloomington? Chris has 12 top tier titles and we're ready to get this going.
Let's play ball!

Well hey Ft. Wayne... welcome! Looks like you started off with 2 KILLER pins. Love me some FT. Don't see too many RZ's around here, but it was fun when I played it. Love the call outs on that one.

If you are interested in a once a month league in Bloomington please let me know as I am compiling a list. Don't think it would be a "set" date; more like whatever works best for Chris (and everyone else) that month. Looks like we got about 5 thus far. Keep em comin.

Tommy what do I need to do to get this league going down here? Being a complete newb to this my 1st guess would be people.
Workin on that.
And then.....? On that note I should be able to find time once a month to hit MSA. I'm doing myself a disservice by not.

Cool posters like you have would help. But probably not.

*dabs tear from eye*
Well said fine sir, well said.

Sounds like Tues nights are the nights to be there. Or would less crowded maybe a better choice to hit machines?

House all to myself tonight,... feel like a 15 yr old kid. Who wants to come over and drink all Dad's booze?!
C'mon down!

Tomorrow night at 8 (don't miss El Rusho) at the Black Circle Brewing Co with BONUS 2 pins.
