Quoted from Frax:
You didn't read carefully, it's not open yet! The Chick-Fil-A will be at the southwest corner of the intersection...2 buildings down from Golden Chick, heh. I dunno if they're going to reuse the Del Taco structure or tear it down and build a new one....can't imagine them reusing that building....Chick-Fil-A tries to be as homogenous as possible. Kind of like their clientele. =Þ

Lol!

Good to know that its still coming. Shame there going to tear that building though. Its like two years old, but your right, chick-fil-a won't reuse that place.

I was just giving you a hard time though. There is a chick-fil-a just five minutes away from there near lemmon and NW Highway, so I definitely didn't go with out.

Yep been there a few times. I just can't wait for schedules to change again and hopefully have an hour lunch once more.. this 30 minute crap is ridiculous. I hate bringing food and being trapped in this stupid building *all the time*.

When will companys learn that lunch is more then just about eating, but also a time to take a needed break from work to refresh the brain. Sorry to hear about your unfortunate situation.

The year I brought the acrylic pin and took top honors I was scared to death you might show up and compete for it too. Nothing beats a beer dispensing pinball machine.

Ha, thanks Shawn. TPF always seems to have a good number of games and quite a few really cool unique games like yours. My plan, as of now ,is to bring the original Trilogy Brewing co pinball to the next show .It is still almost a year away , but starting to plan .

And I haven't had my name in the paper for attending since 2015! What is up with that? The reporter photographer girl asked me where I was from and I said ATL. She said "you came all the way from Atlanta to come to this??" I was like "Oh yeah I did!" "Why wouldn't I?"
What a stud playing Centaur I was back in the day! I wish it was 2015 all over again!

And hung out with this shady character again at TPF. Hung out with him after a show in ATL and caught up with him again in TX. He acts all nice, sings a song or two and stares at you with with dreamy eyes, but he will beat your ass on a multi player game. Don't let him fool you with his Canadian kindness! Watch out for guys like him at this so called "pinball festival"!

Would one of the people have been that guy with Lionman written on his forehead and who said "LIONMAN!" over the TPF hotel conference center speaker system at closing time that Sat night?

That was a TPF-2017 classic moment.

Yep. Going to be looking for a babysitter for Friday and Saturday (at hotel) though. Will start a thread but if anyone in here is bringing their competent teenage daughter and she doesn't like pinball but does like money PM me. Here is the kid (who will be a year and four months old at time of next TPF).
