    If you're stopping by Pinfest come by my gameroom in Union, NJ, it's an hour to an hour and a half away from there, probably closer to an hour. My birthday is on May 4th, maybe I'll have a party while everybody is in the area.

    Quoted from NicoVolta:

    Yo Beez! NJ schedule is super tight due to mandatory Allentown event... will you be there?

    Come to my place on the 4th with Boob, it's my birthday Like an hour outside of Allentown

    Best of luck, and safe travels Nico!

    #213 7 years ago

    Also, can't wait for my T-shirt!

    #216 7 years ago

    Checking on the thread and the first reply is only 2 minutes old... Yesssssss...

    Great job! Texas to Memphis is quite the leap. Be safe. How many hours drive is that anyways?

    Quoted from CactusJack:

    Nice shot of the Grand Prix bonus stepper. They are unique in that they can count up and down in single steps but also be instantly zeroed for game start up (that third relay coil armature).

    Very interesting, especially the last point. Speed matters it seemed, racing pun not intended.

    Take beach pictures in Florida!

    Quoted from jrpinball:

    I remember when those tube tester machines were commonplace. That's a little scary actually.

    Soon you'll be yelling at kids to get off your lawn!

    Just busting your chops, JR. I think it would have been cool to get to see many of those around. At least these days.

    If you leave Asbury without going to the Asbury Park located Silverball Museum I'm going to kill you.

    Love,

    Quoted from NicoVolta:

    Next stop -> Poughkeepsie, NY (does that city sound familiar?)

    Snooki from that godawful show Jersey Shore lives there...

    #469 6 years ago
    Quoted from beelzeboob:

    Completely wrong! She lives in our town...and visits her mother in law with the kids literally around the corner from my house. She stopped by my house trick or treating this Halloween...

    Hahahaha, that is a classic! Beezleboob and Snooki in one picture. My new favorite.

    And okay, my knowledge is outdated. Her parents live in Poughkeepsie, then. I just remembered she lived there back when filming was going on for the show years back. You may ask why I know that - I was 11 and she had rockin' "features", and admittedly the show was pretty cool back then (and it said so on the show, it's not like I hunted her down) but I think it would just give me a headache now. Also that and even though it's been 8 years all the out of state people still ask if the state is filled with spray-tanned Italians...

    #470 6 years ago

    Also I couldn't believe I was taller than a 20-something year old girl (she was 4' 8", Googled it just now) who I may or may not have had a crush on at 11 years old so I literally measured it and marked it on my wall next to my Jersey Shore poster where it remains today (the poster is long gone, though. Sorry, guido buds)

    It was an interesting time

    With that embarassing story out of the way that I've learned to laugh about that couldn't not be told, great job Nic. Chuck is a really nice guy (I've met him a few times) and it looks like he has a lot of nice pins!

    #473 6 years ago

    Probably the only time when the fake model they used may be more attractive than the intended subject...

    (and they spelled her name wrong! Perhaps a "lawsuit avoidance typo")

    #494 6 years ago
    Quoted from ckcsm:

    The last think I learned was his love for the AS relay, as he said do you know why there is a jones plug on these? - So you can take it out and throw it away! WOW

    LMAO god this is so true
