I'd need a ladder just to high five him...lol!!
Todd is such an awesome guy! He was a lot of fun to talk to!!P1050847_1600x1200.JPG 174 KB
But could you even hear him talk all the way down there? 
(Sorry, as someone who has been 5'10" since age 12 and asked "how is the weather up there" too many times, I try not to make height jokes at all. But thats one big dude and quite a big difference.)

LOL!! Right there with you Mel!! I'm also 5'10" (+/- a bit) so I can relate.
Todd is a great guy to talk with! and Ed was a really nice guy as well talked pinball with him several times. Dirty Donny is also really cool, last year we played some pinball together after the banquet, and we were gonna have a rematch this year but I missed him when he was in the free play room.

I know this is an old thread, but I'm gonna revive it. I'm Shelly from Ohio. My husband is stephenshane237 and my son is evanshane237. ( we are a creative bunch). We do restorations and just got done with the Ohio show, where I played Phoebe's awesome CSI. We have some projects in the works for the Cleveland show in September and I wanted to say hi to the other ladies out there now that I have finally set up my own pinside account.
Hi, I'm Tracy and live in AZ. Just came back from Vegas last weekend and enjoyed playing in the women's tournament on Friday at PHOF. Lots of fun to play with so many other women who enjoy pinball!

Welcome Shelly! 
glad you are joining us.
You guys do some great work on those pins!! That Funhouse was amazing at the Ohio show!! Hopefully we can meet at the Ohio show next year!
Welcome Tracy! I have been trying to get to the all ladies tourney in Vegas since the first one...it just never seems to work out that I have enough vacation time to do all the pinball stuff I wanna do!!

Just wanted to drop in and say hello!
Pinball Arcade on the Xbox One has totally rekindled my love of pinball from years past. I've found some local places to play, reached out to a local league, and have even been starting to look at getting my first pin! (wow, it's a bit tough to try and get into it without breaking the budget)
Hello, Ladies!!
I just joined Pinside today, and Butterflygirl24 was awesome enough to invite me to this thread 
It sounds like there are some fantastic females on here!
I'm just going to copy and paste my intro from another thread:
My name is Kristine (or Kriss, whatever you like) and I am fairly new to the pinball world. My partner (also a Pinside member) and I co-purchased a machine back in 2014, and since then we've been thrown into the pinball world. He's definitely more into the scene than I am, but I am trying to learn and definitely love the game! I've wanted a machine since I was a little girl, so I was very excited when my partner asked me if we could get a game. Technically I am only the owner of one machine, but we've had 7 machines in total, 4 of which are currently in the house. I look forward to learning more about the pinball world, meeting some great new people, and playing some fun games!!
Well, I've been lurking for awhile, then joined to start tracking some scores, but I thought I'd wave to the rest of you ladies. I'm Kristen - I live in Michigan, and I'm sorta new to the pinball world. I always thought pinball machines were totally mysterious and impossible to get good at, but fun... until someone recommended Pinball Arcade to me. Once I started learning the rules of the various games, I was totally hooked and started spending a silly amount of time at arcades playing, joining leagues, etc. I still haven't yet gotten my own, but I'm starting to try to figure out what I want.
Anyway, hello to all! Since I'm learning, I'll mostly be quiet, but thought this was a good place to say hi.
Welcome Kristine and Kristin. My name is Pavlina.
I've not commented in this thread before but have been here awhile. I am TigerLaw's wife. We just got married a month ago tomorrow. I live in Louisiana currently, moving here from England when I got engaged last year.
I've only played pinball for about a year but I hold the high score on our Safe Cracker and I'm vastly better at fixing our games than TigerLaw.
We go to a lot of pinball events. I hope to meet some of you in this thread at one of them soon.

PavBall is actually a full fledged monster on Safe Cracker. She has the GC Score and the top two scores on Assault the Vault.

Here was a picture of her first game ever of pinball (ah, I do miss our old Tron):
I now have the top score on our Addams Family. So that is two games I have knocked Tiger off the top spot on. I am going to go after his precious XMen next.
Any of you others compete with your husbands or do you all just let them win?

Let him win...Hells NOOOO!! We are very competitive! We play private tournaments here all the time!! 
Along with that, we both play in a pinball league, (we were in 2 different ones but had to drop1 due to work) but we compete at tournaments (against others, but always trying to best the other!) and such whenever we get the chance!

We are wanting to start a league where we live. Just not many collectors here. Only a few people with machines in our city.

I'm so happy.
Where did you get that sweet LE?? 
Quoted from Zdoor:Where did you get that sweet LE??
I got it from Gio! He's amazing to work with. He even helped me with a shipping snafu I had with my husbands birthday gift, which was very embarrassing but I won't go into details here...
My husband and I have another refinery edition game we ordered last week from Gio we are even more excited about as it is my favorite machine ever and Gio's work is the best!!!

PavBall: Zdoor and hemi are the same company, Pinball Refinary.

Yep, Zdoor knows.

Great! Another embarrassing situation..

And FYI thanks for the heads up. 
Heh, how about Pinball Women's Club? My daughter is a girl, but I prefer woman.
I actually got heavily in to pinball thanks to my daughter: I was unable to be an event promoter any more so I needed a new hobby I could do at home (that didn't involve a computer,) so I bought a pinball machine. I have been documenting everything about the last 2.5 years at my blog http://pinballnovice.blogspot.ca/
I've always loved pinball. I had no money growing up, but knew that if I wandered arcades I could find abandoned credits on pinball machines when people walked away before the Match.
I am very much in to feminism, the political process, community organizing, pinball, and music, and tend to combine all of these things in various ways.
I founded Pinball Women Ottawa over a year ago and we have been growing the group of women playing pinball in this city, like so many others are doing in other cities. (shout out to Pinball Vixens Toronto, who have the greatest mission statement and inclusion policy EVER.)
I have 4 pinball machines in our back room. No room for any more. But, the latest machine (Apollo 13) is also 21st machine down there over the last 2.5 years. I have developed a reputation for getting machines playing really well, and have a lineup of people wanting to lend me machines for months at a time, allowing me to fix them and play them, and then move on to the next. My favourite machine is always the next game that I have yet to play and tinker with.
Before pinball, I didn't really know how an electric screwdriver worked. Now I have a mini workshop and a soldering iron.
My current lineup is a MAME setup, Corvette, Apollo 13, Sinbad, and Alien Poker.
I also love the vintage artwork and have assembled a collection of 30 original marquees, 5 backglasses, and 5 playfields.

I love the hyperdensity of it all!
Quoted from Pdxmonkey:In case any girls are interested
Female league in Portland starts Wednesday.
Classy joint too
https://m.facebook.com/events/131667143842349
Oh wow TigerLaw and I go to Portland 4-5 times a year and it is one of our favorite cities. We will have to look you up on our next visit. We really like Ground Kontrol.
Quoted from PavBall:This is my 100 th post on the Pinside. I wanted it to be in this thread!
Once you make an additional post in any thread, you're hundredth post will be no more.
Quoted from Pinballs:Nice to see this thread. In the 'real world', try finding a UK female who likes pinball!
I read somewhere that Sheena Easton likes pinball.
Quoted from Pinballs:Nice to see this thread. In the 'real world', try finding a UK female who likes pinball!
Funny you should say that. I lived in UK for 9 years and consider it as close as home. You are right though, I never played real pinball until I moved to the States. I wish you find a UK female who likes pinball!!
Quoted from PavBall:Friendly bump. Any new ladies on Pinside?
Yep her name is Lieke and she is precious!

Disclaimer: I know I'm not supposed to be in here but I couldn't help myself
Lights dim, Jennifer slinks into the chatbox with big sunglasses on... Whatever (roll eyes, and laugh)....I am kinda new here and currently have 8 pins. Including arcades and jukes must be up to around 150 cabs or so.
I think there's an average of 1.2 females on here a day, with me being the 1. lol Or if they are here, they're just lurking and not posting anything.
Welcome to the club!

I'm sorry! I lurk a lot. I've been getting better...
Quoted from blondetall:Is that a Van Gogh shirt??
The program filter is called "Starry Night"
Quoted from clone97:1.2? (**Jenn does some quick math** That's only like 1 a week, OMG!)... That doesn't surprise me however. ( )
I recently did a list of females on Pinside as part of a project we're working on, to see what percent there may be total and active. I used this thread to get names, it hadn't been active in 2 months, and there were 20 separate accounts claiming to be female not including myself. Of those... 1 deactivated, 5 haven't posted in 4+ months, 1 only had 1 post ever, 3 hadn't been logged in within 2 months, 4 hadn't posted but had at least logged in within that week, and only 6 had posted at least once within a week of my research.

That's quite a comprehensive overview, doesn't really surprise me though... To build a paint booth (or some other level of crazy) in your living room is not really the ideal wife scenario.
I agree, it's not the normal, but it's way more fun. I was the one that turned my husband "crazy," and he loves telling people that we've got a pinball arcade and home theater in our basement, and that it's all my fault.

Hey Now!! I convinced hubby to get rid of dinning and living room furniture to put pins in those rooms along with the basement. The garage is my workshop, complete with paint booth...and has been since 2001/2002 (disclaimer paint booth is down ATM) but frame is still there!
Phoebe
That sounds cozy and fun, would LOVE to see ... My house is gutted, Has a slot (u 
) shop feel, Cold and industrial. had to remove the carpets due to bits of wire on the floor, piles of boards in the (whats left) of the kitchen, The acid tank (little overkill I know) and currently working on a screen print setup (looong story) More into restores and saving games than big collections I guess. Jenn only has 8 pins right now, The jukes and arcades take up lots of space.
