I will be having another pinside party Saturday July 2nd at 6pm. Pm me if you would like to come. Food,beer,pinball. It may be a Tron LE party also if Stern finishes them. Mike at GAP is trying to make this happen(thanks Mike). Sealclubber will be here from Alaska also.
You might have two from Alaska. I am going to drive down and see my family 100 miles south of you for the 4th. I will make it to your party if my boys passports get here in time. It is 3544 miles to your address from Wasilla. Tron would be the icing on the cake.
Rats, do you usually get this kind of turn out as far as distance goes? I would love meet as many pinsiders as possible. I just can't get out of work. The reception that night is 200 people.
Tatman looking forward to stopping by again. Thank you for sharing your collection with us pinsders!
Now is there any way we can petition Stern to make sure your Tron LE is built in time 
Quoted from nutshell79:Now is there any way we can petition Stern to make sure your Tron LE is built in time [
That could be possible as more pinsiders might be interested in buying the LE ! It could be in Sterns best interest to somewhat cater to groups like pinside.
I'm afraid I'm gonna have to sit this one out, as I already had plans with my wife for our 11th anniversary. If I ever want to buy another pinball machine again, it's probably not a good idea to cancel on her for a pinball party.

If anyone can pull it off, Mike can. Lord knows he gives them enough business.
Too far away for us, too. Nuts. Have a great time and raise a pint or five to your mates at Pinside!
Besides, July 4th is our 11th anniversary, and we'll be spending it at...you guessed it, a pinball party!
One of the highlights of this party is the Spank Your Tank competition. Teams are given firework tanks and additional fireworks to attach to it. These are then placed into an arena and lit. The winner seems to be not so much the tank that attacked the other tank better as much as the tank that blew itself up the most spectacularly. 16 teams, then 8, then 4, then 2, the tanks getting bigger and more fireworks are given to attach to it.
Here's the finalists from last year. We're going to record the whole thing this year.
You must be running out of space Tatman. Soon you will be digging an extra room in the basement.
BTW, those polar bears rocked my world.
Nice find on the WH2O. Getting harder to find every day.
I wish I could make it to the party but next week I will be working about 120 hours and sleeping about 3 to 4 hours a night. This is my crunch time.
Shameless plug. WWW.customizedmemories.com
There are no days off in July. I work every day until the last week of July.
The life of a business owner. I love it when my friends say " it must be great to own your own business, you can make your own hours" I just laugh.
Show us some pics this time.

I try to remember the winter months when the golf season is going. May - August: 75 hr week minimum. November - January: Time to work on my new hobby....
The nice thing about being a pro shop manager is I can monitor all of our conversations here about 14 hours a day.
Quoted from tatman9999:The_Gorilla I will have a winter party for you, Transformers Party/Wizard of Oz party.
Thanks, I look forward to it.
Quoted from NimblePin:Big Gorilla's WATCHING..
Always, my friend, always. lol
Sounds like a blast. Unfortunately, I've got other plans this weekend so I won't be able to make it down. Hopefully you have another Pinside get together in the future!
Nice collection. I will be in Chicago that day, but that's going to be family party time on the beach.
Quoted from tatman9999:Come after 6pm. No TRON . I will have some snacks and beer. If you want to bring some thing that will work.thanks.
Man, I'm going to try my hardest to make this!
Absocountry won't be able to make it. His truck took longer than expected to be fixed so he had to leave Alaska a day later. He would have to drive 100 mph non stop to make it in time. "East bound and down, roll em up and truckem, he's gonna do what they say can't be done."
