    Going to Chicago on March 4th through the 6th. I'll buy all the drinks if any of the Pinsiders want to hang out.

    Also, what is the best place to play some pinball while in town? I'll be staying at the Conrad.

    Thanks!!

    Where in the city are you going to be? If you are heading to the Northern burbs at some point during your trip, give me a shout out.

    There's a nice bar in Granville called "The Anvil." Lots of balls flying around there.

    Conrad Hotel...and I'll have a car. Up for meeting some fellow Pinsiders so let's see if we can make it happen.

    I know the guys that voted for the third option really love me...right?...right?

    Oh and I'm serious about the drinks guys. Willing to pick up the bar tab to an extent ($500 or so).

    Always good meeting nice peeps.

    Its amazing that in a city with gun control we are fighting for the number one murder city in the US but we just can't seem to edge NYC. I guess it makes sense, considering they have stricter gun control policies. Funny the opposite effect the strict gun laws in Chicago make to our murder rate. That aside, there are a few places that have been mentioned that would be great spots, I won't be in town or I would meet up and take you around.

    In the city: Bottom Lounge & Logan Hardware. Emporium has a few Sterns, possibly all Avengers?

    Suburbs: Brixies is the only place I've been to. Top notch selection as far as I know.

    If you're gonna do one of the places in the city, I'd be up to meet up with some Pinsiders. After all, for as much as I waste time on here, I can only put a few local faces with names.

    Emporium does have a few Sterns. Condition of the machines is hit or miss though.

    OK sounds great...I definitely need to go check out Glen Ellen where I used to live on Wednesday but Tuesday afternoon/night are wide open.

    Maybe I'll drive back with a pin??

    Perhaps we can do a fun little single elimination tournament in your honor. I've been dying to put this Brackalope app to use.
