I second what Wiz said. It would be great to get some kind of regional group going.

I don't think I've got anything to worry about as I live about 150 miles inland on the "landmass". You guys on the coastal areas be careful and prepare well. Hopefully, it will be negligible and not cause any problems.
I'll be there. I am so ready. Looking forward to meeting you guys. Great idea on the booth Nevus! Can't wait.
Quoted from Pinball-is-great:I think we just need to get some more people in MS interested in pinball.
Much of Mississippi is a pinball desert.
Hunting/fishing/highschool & college sports all seem to be very popular in MS.
You said it! Other than Wizzardz, me and one other guy that dabbles a bit, I don't personally know anyone in MS into pinball like us. I think there are a couple others, but they aren't active on here. I was glad to meet Pinball-is-great and Nevus on Sunday but sad I didn't get to meet several others. Everyone, including myself, was pretty busy one way or another and I didn't have an opportunity to get around to meet people like I wanted. That's one reason I am excited about the N.O. club. It will be a much better place to get acquainted and talk with some fellow pinheads.
Also, Pinballhelp, I was going to purchase a shirt but never did catch you in the booth. I will still get one if you can take paypal or something and mail it out.
Hope to meet all you guys at some point, hopefully sooner than later.
Quoted from Newd:I live in biloxi MS and I'm always on the hunt for new pins.
Yeah! Another Mississippian. We are an endangered species around here
Thought I would post this here first in case anyone in the group was interested. A friend of mine has a "Jungle Lord" machine he is wanting to sell. I haven't seen it or played it in a while but it was 100% working last time I did. It's not collector quality or anything but it was in pretty good shape if I remember. I think the backglass was a little flaky. He said he would like to get $800 for it but I am pretty sure that is negotiable. If anyone is interested, let me know and I will try to get some pictures of it to post.
Oh yeah it is in the Jackson, MS area. I am sure most would want to see it in person first but, I am willing to bring it down to the pinchurch next time I come for a tourney if someone wants it and doesn't want to travel.
Quoted from Nevus:Is that the "L@@K" Jungle Lord on CL? I have seen a few games from what I assume is a retail store in Jackson for a while on CL.
Absolutely not! Those CL spammers get on my nerves. I have to wade throught all their post every time I look on CL. This is a friend with a small collection.
Quoted from wizzardz:My CL search includes "-commerce" to exclude their ads as they include their address in the posts.
Thanks for the tip! That works great!
Hey Hotdoggin,
Thanks for sharing your story with us. Some good stuff! Some not so good, but keep your spirits up and your good attitude and that will help you get through it all. Glad to hear pinball has been so therapeutic for you two. I'll be praying for you guys. Hope to see you at the pinchurch sometime in the future.
Sweet! I'm all signed up. Do we need to bring quarters for anything, or will everything be on free play?
Quoted from Jodester:So which one of you guys beat me to the free Earthshaker on the Baton Rouge craigslist?
That had to be a prank somebody pulled on that dude. I called 100 times starting immediately after it posted and always got voice mail and his mailbox was already full. I bet he didn't realize he could get that many calls in one day! The story sounded a little fishy, especially since you can see another pin to the left in that picture.
Me and Mike are going to have to talk about snatching that HH away from me. I needed that to complete my set!
Welcome to the club radium. Nice job on that upper PF. You'll definitely have to go and check out the pinchurch. Maybe you could come for the tourney on the 24th, they are loads of fun.
Quoted from Jodester:Best 70's mustache ever!
Thanks! It took me forever to grow that thing
I enjoyed meeting you Jody and hope to meet the rest of the west LA crew before long.
Hey Zuk,
Hate you missed the TPF, it was great. The SFGE is a great show too, just not as big. I'll be there too.
They will most definitely have games for sale. I might even be bringing one for sale, if I can decide which one I want to sale
Quoted from Zukboy2002:Anyone from the south going to southern fried arcade expo in atlanta?
I'll be there. I went last year and it was a blast!
Quoted from Zukboy2002:I see you have a Haunted House and a Black Hole in your collection. Thats Bad Ass. I have Haunted House and ive been searching for a black hole in a reasonable distance. I think they look awesome next to each other.
Thanks. My BH is waiting for me to do a little cabinet restoring and a playfield swap. I got a restored and clear coated playfield to put in it whenever I get around to it. Way to many projects to work on! When I get it done it should look really good lined up with Spirit and HH.
Quoted from TigerLaw:You have a very nice collection good sir. Not many Spirit machines in the south.
Thank you. I lucked up on the Spirit. It was the first machine I got and I really didn't know what I had when I was getting it. I looked it up before I got it and saw that it was somewhat rare and sought after, but I had no idea how much.
I will be there. Leaving Thursday morning, driving. I should be there around 4:00. I wish Spirit air flew out of Jackson
Quoted from TigerLaw:How many more here confirmed and have their rooms?
I will definitely be there! I usually drive in around 3:00 Friday.
