This is why my wife will most likely not be there. I only have a toddler though. More power to you, an infant AND a toddler. You must really never sleep!

Hi everyone. I am very excited to announce that we have a great opportunity at our meet up. Michael Schiess the founder and director of the museum has agreed to give us a personally guided walkthrough of the museum! He is going to give us a little history lesson, peek behind the scenes, and tell us about the future of the museum! I think this is a great opportunity you normally would not get, and a chance to ask questions to the man himself! This will probably happen around 1pm, of course you are not required to go on the walkthrough but I hope that many of us will take this unique opportunity.

I'll see what I can do. I don't know how structured Mike plans it to be. Might not be a good candidate for recording.

Also, if the museum is busy, it can get quite LOUD, and I don't have fancy pants audio recording equipment.

Unfortunately due to circumstances beyond anyones control Michael Schiess says that he will be unable to attend our meet up and give a tour. Sorry to everyone! There is no reason we won't still have a great time anyway the pinball machines will still be there!

Id badges being printed! They are going to look great! I will have them available for you guys at the front, I think there is a spot for flyers, I will talk to whoever is working the front that day and have them direct you to them. I will post a pic so you can see what they look like once they are ready.

Yes! Very excited as well! A little bummed that the special stuff I was trying to throw together did not work out, but the whole point is to meet and play pinball anyway, and that we will do!

Wanted to laminate the id badges today but had no time at work, but they will be there.

It will be interesting to finally put real faces with avatar images. Mine is actually me, but l met The Dude Abides a few weeks back by total chance out playing the new Star Trek Pro over at high life pizza, and it totally threw me off that he was not some dude with scraggily hair in his 50's wearing a bathrobe.
