NY/NJ open house at Rockland Pinball!

We survived Allentown, so onto the next adventure!

This is a "save the date" while we firm things up, but here is where we are thinking right now:

Where: Nanuet, NY
Date: Saturday, June 20
Time: Family-Friendly: 2-6 PM
Adults only: 6-10 PM

We are looking at opening the doors to welcome everyone, old friends, and new!
We are going to have machines from our shop set up on free play, likely busting out into the parking lot. Depending on the exact inventory, expect anywhere from 20-40 machines, mostly A-list titles.

There will be plenty of awesome food...and after 6 PM we plan to have adult-type beverages available.

More details to come!

OK all...we need to make this a little more formal....so here's the scoop:

Since we are going to be providing food and a ton of machines, we want to get an idea of who is actually going to be coming.

Please RSVP to [email protected] with
Your name
Number of people attending

Also note we will probably ask for a small cover charge at the door ($10 per person) to offset the day. But that's a small price to pay for pinball and free food!

As the date gets closer we may post a list of what machines will be set up, but right now the inventory changes daily, so we can't look that far ahead.

No worries. We aren't presenting this as "by invitation only" but we need to get an idea of attendence. We are still a new and small venture and we need to front the money for the food, tent, stuff like that. Would be horrible for us to gear up for a hundred people's worth of food and have two people show up...so that's all...!

I'll probably be going to this event for the first hour or two. I'm gonna grab some food and play some pinball and leave. I don't have money to buy a machine because I'm flat broke after just buying one. So I hope this isn't some big sales pitch: "Hey, man...you want another slice of pizza? Let's do a deal on the Addams."

Didn't end too well when I went to the Knights of Columbus clambake.

Update.. We are going to have 600sq ft tent outside and hope to have about 25 games setup, as well as 20 or so games set-up inside the shop.

We will supply lots of good food, water, soda, etc.. BYOB for everything else

all games will be on free play and most for sale. We may set-up a few tables to sell off some used and new parts.

please RSVP with Greg

Thanks Rob

Our graduation party plans were changed to the 20th so I'm not able to make it. Bummer.....
