    Quoted from RyanClaytor:

    I don't know what sort of magic Nic pulled out of which orifice, but we miraculously crossed the t-shirt pre-order finish line successfully. I placed the order this morning, as promised, and will be shipping this second (and quite likely, last) batch of beauties when I have them in my hands in a couple weeks. Just wanted to keep everyone up-to-date.
    Keep on keepin' on, Nic!
    Ryan

    I think for Nic's next tour shirt you should put a Dremel with magic brush in his hand

    I think this thread will go down as one of the greatest in the history of Pinside. Thanks again Nic for taking the time to do this and document everything for the rest of us to enjoy.

    Quoted from NicoVolta:

    The pinball tour hit CBS this evening... and some of you are in it! Thanks much to Scott Jarrell of CBS KTVT for putting the piece together and Shawn Christian (dallaspinball) for hosting from his pinball collection!

    Great video Nic, I think the photojournalist did an excellent job editing as well.

    Quoted from NicoVolta:

    Oh wow. Must be seen in person. I was fortunate to be standing very close to the point of maximum totality with a clear view...
    It begins with the crickets.
    A few chirps at first, followed by a tsunami of clicking.
    Next, the automated street lamps alight themselves. Artificial world aligning itself with the natural one.
    The surrounding air cools. Sky fades to indigo-grey, quite unlike any sunset.
    And then... at the peak of darkness... a majestic hole in the sky.... surrounded by a halo of starfire.
    It defies belief. It feels utterly supernatural. The urge to hold one's breath is almost irresistible as all eyes fixate upon it.
    And as it ends... the corona sparkles like ice as a prismatic knife slices through... splitting light into its component colors before releasing the sun's power upon the earth once more.
    Monumental experience, and utterly humbling.

    Nick you sure have a way with words. Can't wait for your next adventure!
