    Quoted from Ericpinballfan:

    I thought you could also buy a membership in different tiers to the New Museum on strip?? Can't find info on that program!

    Some swag would be nice too! T-shirts, mugs, bling bling!

    Quoted from luvthatapex2:

    When I visited the aircraft carrier at Tims Residence I recall seeing an Atari Road Runner and 4x4. Absolutely the most amazing game collection I have ever seen and played.

    Say what? I have to hear more about this...

    Quoted from fireball2:

    Just some somethin somethins from my Tim interview:
    He really does have EVERY GOTTLIEB GAME. EVERY SINGLE ONE.
    The new building looks like Scrooge McDuck's money pit!
    He won't talk fave machines because then there would be haters.

    Great interview with Tim!

    Quoted from Azmodeus:

    An international news piece on the hall from about six years ago.

    My German is not good but I think it said PHOF is "sehr gut".

    Quoted from PismoArcade:

    I really like the shirt. I’ll wear it often. I like the fact that it’s not flashy.

    I'd buy some merch, is there a site to order from?

    #445 3 years ago
    Quoted from PismoArcade:

    No. They have them for sale behind the counter.

    That's a shame they don't. I won't make it in person for awhile but donated...

    Quoted from Kilowog:

    I like that too. Can you buy on-line? Looked around for a link to the merchandise, but didn't come up with one.

    I asked earlier in the thread and was told no, but maybe if we get enough interest...hint hint

    Quoted from sparksterz:

    As much as I'd like a shirt as well, it's probably not something that is worth the time to orchestrate the orders, packing, shipping, tracking, etc.

    In the past I've purchased the TOPS DVD's from his site...same difference!

    Quoted from Adydar:

    Not a significant inside look, but a picture of the inside on a vegas new station:

    A link to the fundraiser there, so other peeps besides pinsiders will see it.

    Quoted from flynnibus:

    We all work for free… it’s the only way we can make it work. Obviously that doesn’t scale to phof, silverball museum, alameda, etc.
    Those would be the people I’d be talking to if Tim. Todd Tuckey, JJ, etc… who actually float a sizable staff to keep their volume up.

    I doubt Todd Tuckey is paying the salaries you guys are floating.

    Quoted from flynnibus:

    The key is he has people willing to do yhe kind of work… and having someone capable and willing to do the work is most of the battle. Lots to be learned from what it takes to keep that kind of staff.
    Instead of dreaming about white collar guys doing side work… or people that run their own businesses .
    Probably a lot better chance of luring a 35yr old bachelor from PA then a retired self employed guy.

    Why lure anyone? Offer the volunteers they have now either full time or part time positions.

    Quoted from Chrizg:

    The child in the story was said to be in the autism spectrum.

    How was the staff supposed to know this?
    Parents need to control their children whatever their special needs.
    BTW, I'm a grandparent of a special needs child.

    Quoted from frolic:

    When my kids were smaller, I took them to Chuck E Cheese pretty often. For all my visits, I never witnessed a staff member yelling at the children.

    I'm guessing your kids were behaved?

    Quoted from Luckydogg420:

    Am I missing something?

    Yes! Tim is going to do things his way. Period.
