There have been several pinsiders in the Northern Illinois/Southern Wisconsin area who have taken the trip to my Entertainment Center just to play pins. Some of you bring your kids - others save tokens and bring them next time.

As many know, it is hard to keep pins on location (especially when a redemption machine brings in 20x more weekly). But I have to say, when you guys come in and enjoy the machines, bring friends to check it out, or simply stop in to enjoy my business... Thats what makes it worth it. I love the pins, and they will continue to be maintained and in good playing order.

I have met some great guys through pinside, and I continue to meet new people through here each week. Thanks to all of you who come in simply because of the Silver Ball!

Also, if anyone might be bringing your kids to EXPO in October, and are looking for something to do in the meantime, we are about 30min from expo and have plenty for kids to do! (adults too!)

Anyway, long story short: Thanks for making pinball worth having in a business, it would be tough without you guys.
