I noticed some of you being somewhat from my area and like to mention that there's an annual
Pinball/Arcade gathering this Saturday February 25th. If you like (or at least don't mind) EMs, I'm
sure you'll have a good time. Many show up, including area collectors. EM pins and Arcades.
Quite a few sign up for the Blind Draw Big Bowl Bowling Tournament which is always a hit.. (T)

It Starts off a 4:00pm till ?
Last year it ended around 2:30am, but I will say,
we have seen day break before.
At Mid-night, I'm sure they'll still be many here..

2060 Van Auken Rd. 14513 BTW - I meant to say: Blind Draw Big "Ball" Bowling Tournament..

Well, hopefully next year, but it's always around the same time of the year on a Saturday.
Once in a while the Game Room's happening in Summer, but most of those
gatherings are out back down at the Pond..

One of these Gatherings we'll have to see about getting a trading deal in action
making the trip more worth while. I do enjoy making trades..

Oh, I think I see. I buy an item, then you give back for the project S.J. That sounds like it would work..
But honestly, I rather take a machine than money from a fellow collector, although by purchasing my last
Arcade piece, it did put a little dent in the account, but not large enough to regret it. But I really should
sell a couple pieces to help counter balance that last transaction..
What maybe I had in mind, if something pops up that you grab and I could use, we perhaps can make a
trade and I'll also through in the project S.J. to equal things out, or maybe just for an incentive..
I could use a Lucky Hand's bottom, and also could use a Hurdy Gurdy's head, but don't expect either one of
them falling your way, but never know..
I also don't like to part with machines I have or planning on having set up, but I do have dups for trades.. (T)

You're a good Pinball Friend Bryan, and I don't know about make you drool, but
I can say they do play well, and I'm pleased with some of the Arcade pieces I
was able to acquire..
It is worth the trip because of the good Folks that show up which always makes for
a great time..
I really wish you lived closer because you also would be a huge plus for the Party.. (T)

I don't generally take pics, but I was told many do end up on facebook (I don't do facebook).
I'll see about getting some pics posted here. I like checking other pin parties pics out also..

Thanks for asking. The weather wasn't to bad. Actually, weather wise, it was an
amazing week with one day reaching near 70 and yesterday afternoon near 60
with rain and dropped fast in the 30s at night with some flurries..
Many showed up with both rooms rolling pretty good..
A Friend shot a short video. I'll see about getting it posted.. (T)

There was a couple down pours along with wind in the early-mid afternoon over this way,
but lasted fairly briefly. By showtime it certainly wasn't sunny, but pretty much calm..
Although unlike most days that follow Winter parties, I will be doing a little mopping in the
2nd room that has the tile floor before too long.. (T)

That would be great if you could make it! I'll make sure I post it for sure..

It's kind of open, but really most were Friends, and the rest were Friends of Friends..
Needless to say, you enjoy Pinball, so certainly you're welcome to come. I'll make sure
I post it next year also..

Yes, I have space to live. What you saw was my basement and the addition's basement (with the tile floor),
and above the addition's basement isn't finished yet, but once it is, I'll have room for quite a few more
machines which I'd really like to have set up..
Sorry that the vids didn't show so much of the machines. Looks like she concentrated mainly on the party itself..

'I like pulling wheelies". Not going to a pin party, but actually have pulled wheelies a few times
with the Barracuda. 456 gears, with soft compound Mickeys on the rear rims..
