Quoted from Frax:There's two sides to every coin, and rarely do you see the other side when it's lying flat.
I like this quote, I'll have to use this in the future.

Yup, I agree with Frax...Jared ROCKS! I hope it goes Grrrrreat. Exposure for pinball is great as well, but really it would just be fun to be there. The music, the pins, the atmosphere. Just sounds, well, epic. 
Jared I had no idea you had fans like these, nay, groupies that follow you around. I admire their dedication. You have to start your fan base somewhere and these guys seem like dedicated fan club presidents on the make.
If Jared makes some bank on this I will be truly impressed. Getting it all together sounds like a reward in itself, but the money being made is gravy. Great job.
Quoted from rommy:Yup, I agree with Frax...Jared ROCKS!
That's not what I said. At all. Reading comprehension is a vital skill....
yep.... waiting on pix 
who's posting links to some live-streams for us losers at home ?
wish i was there...
Jared, don't listen to the shit that other assholes are shoveling! No one will understand exactly what is involved in executing something of this nature until they try it themselves. This unfortunately takes Big Balls and not everyone has them. If someone doesn't like it or they think that they can do better, you tell them to get their wallets out. All of the responsibility is resting on your shoulders, not theirs. It's pretty easy to stand on the sidelines and complain that you aren't doing it right! Tell them to get into the game or shut the F%#K UP! When the bills come due, you won't see a single Hater in line to pay it for you. Hell, I went to the store yesterday to buy some snacks for my pinball party tonight and I spent $200, just on snacks and pop alone!
Keep up the good work! Wish I could have been there tonight!
P.S. My Balls are so big that I have small planets that orbit them! Enjoy! BigB
Quoted from BigB:small planets that orbit them
Can only imagine the size of your arse then...
Quoted from Jared:You laugh, but I swear to you that not only have I spent every penny on the parties combined features, but we are actually several thousand dollars OVER budget.
Just to give you an an idea , the venue is now $17,000, vanilla ice is $15,000 plus $1000 hotel + $2800 equipment rental. Flights combined cost me $6,000. Digital underground was $7000. The pizza for the party was over $3200...
I'm not bitching here, I'm just saying... People really want to paint this as me making a pontiff money... And I swear to God... not a cent is being made.
Quoted from Marc:On my last leg of the flight now. Touchdown Dallas in one hour!!!
Yep Fat Train is gonna miss out on TBF he chose the party instead, Im gonna miss hanging with him in Texas. Hopefully we can get him there next year.

Quoted from Marc:You're about a month early for the Texas Pinball Festival?!?

Just made it to Dallas with my group of 8 and checked in to hotel. We are heading to the party in 15 minutes. Had a blast on the ride up here.
We are hanging out at the NYLO bar killing time. I guess this is the new pre-party.
Come find us if you want.
The facebook page has tons of hilarious comments:
"Who's running will call, TSA?"
"Hobo trash can fires are being reported from the back of the line."
"I heard Vanilla Ice got bit by his pet monkey! Then Coolio drank too many red bulls, and people waited more than hours in line because they opened the doors late. So Crazy Fun!"
"Where are Jared's epic waiting in line for hours porta johns?"
"This is the worst thing that's ever happened to me... And I did 3 tours in Iraq..."
Vanilla Ice has a pet monkey? I hope someone has pictures of that... lol
Quoted from mnpinball:If one wants to hire Coolio or V.Ice for future reference, what does that cost ?
Ice = 15k
Coolio = 5k
Just got home from party. Exhausted. It had a slow start with the lines / ticketing but the performances were great!!!! I'll post pics tomorrow.
