    I put in a fiver a few days ago... have no intention of ever visiting given where your at; but figured $5 might be put to good use.

    #103 8 years ago

    Sure will! If you're ever in the area for any reason Zitt call me up and we'll open up for you.

    The support was amazing. We hit 10,375$. Can't wait to start setting up the new spot. We are very close to having the new unit cleaned out for us to get working on!

    Thanks again to everyone. I will keep putting updates here

    #104 8 years ago

    I hope that this success story will stand as an example of an option for people all over the world to be able to support pinball efforts and keep pinball flourishing. All of us together, chipping in whatever we can afford, can do wonders for the community as a whole.

    congrats.

    #105 8 years ago

    Congrats, Jim. I know you didn't do this alone, but I have no doubt that much of the Sanctum's success is due to your great spirit and wide-ranging competence.

    #106 8 years ago

    Thanks guys. Starting to get all the reward stuff in line. Everyone who donated should be getting messages the start of next week to get details from you.

    #107 8 years ago

    Anyone get the party with Bill providing the dinner?

    #108 8 years ago

    I told Jim I was going to do it and bring a Domino's pizza just to piss off Gumbo. but all in fun

    #109 8 years ago

    Sorry for the long silence. We've been pushing hard to get into our new spot and it's finally paying off

    In the past couple weeks we have helped the building owner remove all the old belongings of the previous tenant that had abandoned the unit we are moving too. Only a couple pieces of machinery remain which we hope to have out of there this week. Our move in day is days away finally!!

    Our rewards designs are all completed and going off to the printers at the end of this week. We should have all rewards in our hands by the end of the month.

    More updates coming real soon! Until then here is the supporter banner ready to go up as soon as we move!

    #112 8 years ago

    Our move in date is here! We are moving in this Wednesday night. We will be closed for a few weeks while we move in and get the new place setup.

    A lot of you have expressed interest in helping us move into the new location. Feel free to come this Wednesday and help us out.

    See everyone soon in the nnew spot!

    #113 8 years ago

    The move night went smooth and this is going to be a great spot.

    #119 8 years ago

    Everything has been ordered for rewards Shirts, hoodies, koozies and bottle openers are all being printed right now. We should have everything in our hands next week. If you needed the rewards shipped we be shipping everything after Thanksgiving.

    We were going to surprise everyone with the designs but since you've already waited long enough here they are.

    image.jpegimage.jpegimage.jpegimage.jpegimage.jpegimage.jpegimage.jpegimage.jpeg

    An electrician looked over the place last week and is wiring up everything this weekend no more shortage of outlets!

    Things are moving along great so far once we are closer to being able to be open again we will pick a date for the VIP party

    #120 8 years ago

    #121 8 years ago

    Things are starting to come along. Still have plenty of work on our hands! Should be open before years end.

    Lighting done today. Very happy how it turned out. Time consuming but worth it. 160 LED bulbs. Very even subtle light. Perfect for game playing and no glare. We have a bank of flourecents over all the games for when we are working on them.

    Had a great idea today for the camera streaming rigs. Grabbing all the parts tomorrow at the depot and will see if it works.

    Rewards are on the way. We received these this week and sorted through them last night. If you requested shipping they are packaged up and being dropped off in the mail tomorrow.

    For everyone else you can pick them up at The Sanctum starting Christmas week at our party.

    #143 8 years ago

    We are officially changing our open night of the week. We are switching to Monday nights. I know a few cant make it on Mondays but this day is the best solution for The Sanctum moving forward. Hope to see some new faces.

    We will be back to being open regularly on December 28th moving forward. This will also be our new night for NEPL at the beginning of January.

    Looking forward to seeing everyone back here again
