I just got a package from Bay Area Amusements and they sent jelly beans. Will have to order again soon. They were sooooooo good.
Quoted from herg:Included in my recent order:
Looks like Terry's taking art classes during his mid day slow times.
I agree Terry's business model is spot on. It's cool to see business owners having fun with what they do. Pinball Life fan here.
My 6 year old daughter (Jovee) wanted to contribute something to each order that went out and this is what she came up with. Every week or so she draws a new picture and proudly delivers it for all the parcels going out in the coming days.
Many people have e-mailed us directly in response to this simple gesture on her part and I have read each one to her. Let me tell you, I have never seen a 6 year old more proud.
I will show her this thread as well. She will love it!
Thanks to all who have taken the time to make my little girl feel special and appreciated.
Terry.
How cute, I guess these aren't included in local pickup orders though since I didn't get one a few weeks back while I was there.
I got the heart tennis one and gave it to my 3 year old daughter. She really liked it and started drawing hearts with smiley faces - super cute.
Terry, Maybe have your daughter draw a picture of a shuttle bus in front of an unnamed hotel showing people boarding with their pockets overflowing with dollar bills and having the side or back of the bus say "On the way to Pinball Life" with a dollar bill with wings on it. Send it to youknowwho.
Looks like Jovee will be a vendor at the Pinball Life Open House . People will have a chance to get some artwork there .http://www.pinballlife.com/index.php?p=catalog&parent=274&pg=1
I got the tennis picture too a few weeks back. All the guys at the arcade were around me when I went through the box and we all smiled. It was a very nice surprise.
That's pretty cool I bet she does feel proud to be part of something that her daddy does I would have as a kid. Keep her drawing I use to draw horrible as a kid and now I can do this I want to be a pinball artist. Maybe she has a future in it too if she keeps working

That's unheeded don't teach kids to hold grudges or keep silly fights growing
That's awesome. I know other people have previously gotten 'freebies'....while I have yet to recieve anything awesome from a pinball company, I feel like my dues were already paid when I got the Letter of Unbelievable Luck and Epicness from Woot.Com in my first Bag of Crap.....and got a 42" LCD HDTV, 4 DVD players, an ipod docking station. For 5 dollars. Shipped. So there.
how long before these start making their way onto ebay?!?
hat's off to terry and his daughter for making our orders with pbl just that much more special!!
I thought it was so awesome when I got the little pic! Great idea and put a genuine smile on my face.
I didn't even notice the artwork in my package. My seven year old wanted the shipping box and he found the drawing. He loved it. Great addition to my order.

Okay, that is eerily similar to the one I got a few weeks ago, too! I just made another order yesterday so we'll see what I get this time....
