Hey JJ,I like your idea of doing this for Pinsiders and RGP,maybe have some shopping/parts/rubbers/light bulb specials,drawings,super secret raffles,tournaments,a pinata for kids,throw those bean bag/washer games for kids also.Just throwing out some ideas.
It would be neat to be able to meet some of these guys and play some pinball and all of the other great toys in The Game Exchange's showroom.Wives,Kids,Friends,Inlaws ?
Would you be letting us play-pool,air hockey,video,shuffleboard,tabletop and the other games?
Maybe a Saturday,like Noon till 10 PM-that way you have a few of the retail shoppers,and then our Pinside/RGP wives,kids,friends,inlaws or whatever Sat. afternoon and early evening,then the true/die hard pinheads and gamers stay till Sat. nite-9,10,11:00 PM,just my thoughts about something like you are talking about,and also if it's in late June or July/August people could kinda plan on coming or decide to blow it off as well.
(Also-kinda keep this on the DL ) If this is all well thought out and planned in advance,I could possibly forsee my WOZECLE #666 making a surprise guest appearance there as well ?
That is if it is even built by then and if all the variables worked in my favor,a BIG part of it would be if I had some people (2 or 3) to help,and an Escalara-electric dolly to get the WOZ out of my house/basement in the first place and then help to get it to your location,and then back to my house the next day or two after the event.
Talk to you later about all of the above,and we can monitor this thread for a few weeks or so.
