Tatman, you really should just run sanctioned tourny's out of your house. A couple of times a year and you'd have people flying in from all over the country with a game room like that!
A great oppurtunity for those who are close!
Thanks for the offer tatman, but it is a little too far for me. I would love to see you game room in person someday.

Its too bad I need to renew my passport to cross the border, otherwise I would love to be there. It's only about an 8 hour drive. Maybe you could post some pics after, for those of us too far away. Get a glimpse of people playing that fantastic collection. 
Hey tatman, I am in CA but if you had one of those shindigs at the end of July, near the baseball HOF induction I would love to try and stop by, are you at all close to Waucanda, I have a friend there I served with who I meet up with to go to induction weekend.
Sounds like some big time fun!
Whoever is going, is going to have a heck of a time.
Tatman is a good & helpful guy, and his dream collection is ridiculous.
We want pics from the party tatman! 
If anybody is near Anchorage, I am hosting a pin party on the 18th or 19th of March. Trying to set the best date for the most people now.

Sure wish I could be in Chicago for that bash! Tatman's collection/gameroom is one of the best! Would love to see it in person...!
One more and it will be Magnificent.
I will be in Chicago again the first week of July during and after the holiday. Not sure what the wife has in store but I would like to link up with you guys.
tatman,
What time do you want people to come by? I was also thinking it might be cool if we set up some kind of a tournament.
Add some Crown Royal to your bar (preferably XR or Cask #16) and I will make an effort to drive the 3 hours sometime when I'm feeling better. You also gotta give me directions to an Embassy Suites or similar for after and where I can call to have an "escort" meet me at the party and take to the suite after 
I've never organized a pin tournament, so someone else may want to chime in. Perhaps we could pick out a selection of pins, and everyone would have a chance to play a couple games on each one. You add up the scores on a particular game, and then you award points based on where you placed on that machine. So if there are six players, first place would get six points and last place would get 1 point. At the end of the tournament, whoever has the most points wins. Does this make any sense?
I've never played in a pin tournament, but sounds like fun.
Looking forward to meeting everyone tomorrow night, and playing a lot of great games!

For the tourny we could put all the pins in a hat and draw 3 or so out of the hat and do the point system thing I think that would be fun. If I have time tomorrow I ll try to come up with a trophy of some kind for the tourny.
