Quoted from smoothbore19:Amigos?
Ami-gone I'm afraid.
Yes, my Sunday morning hangover is not the same without the weekly Amigo updates. It’s just me, coffee, Tylenol and pre-game football now. Playing pinball is just too painful with a headache but reading about it with coffee was great.
Hope the Amigos are doing well! Looking forward to a possible game 3 reveal. Maybe it could have a theme about a virus that takes over the world…..No too soon!?! Keep on flipping folks.

Hey friends!
Good to hear you!
Not okay at all over here!? 
We were really enjoying our new Guns and Roses pinball machine until amigo headquarters got invaded by a robot from another planet?
He says his name is Robby or sumtin..
He continuously hogs the new pinball…he’s really impolite.
We cannot acces amigo headquarters until we have defeated Robby.

We might just do Kenny Powers as a thirth pin
Amigos - did you notice where American Pinball may "produce" another homebrew pin after Legends of Valhalla? Maybe throw your into the mix?
Quoted from PBFan:A baseball themed pin would be great. Good to see the Amigos are still rockin!
Alive and kicking amigo

Quoted from swinks:Hey guys, good to see an update and hope all is well.

The tongue depressors would not be the part of the BOM I would be worried about.
Would love to see the Amigos bring something to expo next year for the competition, if for no other reason than getting to play one of their creations.
And who knows, maybe you win and we decide to do your game, nothing against Frank and Scott, but I suspect working with the amigos would be a lot more fun.

That would be sooo rad Josh!! Have a beer and play Crazy Mansion together 
Quoted from swinks:please do, looks cool
Well my daughter was willing to shoot the video for you amigo
Quoted from Dee-Bow:GnR is sooo fakkin gud!
Sure- until the PF self-destructs.
jjpOwnersFault (resized).jpgQuoted from Zitt:Ap needs to license minion and do that homebrew. Cheaper bom. Better theme.
It would be the best theme to build for sure,but i guess it hasn’t been done cuz the license is crazy expensive.
But man…for a pin there’s just tons of material to work with?
For those who wonder, our minion machine is stored in the office of my shop…waiting for the next show

Not joking here. I've got about 50 cases of tongue blades in stock. Each case has 5,000 in it. I got stuck with these when a factory went out of business. Price would be unbelievably low if someone wanted them . . . here in the States, that is. This factory used them to stir epoxy for use on the assembly line. Everything worked out fine for YEARS until . . . the owner of the factory committed suicide! His sad death totally killed a very big business and jobs for hundreds, including me the supplier.

I'm so TOTALLY enthralled by your talents! SOOOOOOO many things that you can do. Unbelievable! Your IQ must be off the chart! The list would be too long to post here the many things you can do. Not only do you have a resemblance to Paul McCartney, but you can play music like him too!
Hearing your daughter's voice was like hearing my own daughter. Where in the world, or HOW in the world did she lean English so well!!!! She sounds just like my American daughter, including the slang. Do you actually communicate with each other in English at home?!!! I am SOOOO jealous of your language skills!!! And you . . . . and the "elbow grease" . . . that is SUCH an American thing to say. I should be talking about your beautiful room and all your wonderful toys, but . . . I am more overwhelmed with your genius and talents!!!
Thank you Amigo daughter for filming this.
Thanks so much for the post!

Jesus amigo! That is a fuckload of tongue depressors

Ah thanks so much my friend,indeed,Elise and I always joke around in English,she has a great feel for it!
We Dutch really fuck up the scentence structure.
I always cringe when i hear flat dialect Dutch speak English.
It gets the message across but to me it is nails on a chalkboard.
I actually have a hard time shaking off my Dutch accent,very aware of that.
But Elise also does a killer English accent,it is absolutely hilarious hahaha.
My father was a blues guitar player,he taught me some chords and tricks on the fly and i like to play solo guitar with backing tracks or just some music.
Mainly ZZtop ,Hendrix and ACDC … that kinda stuff.
But i am no genius,i am just very curious in life and try stuff…never stop exploring!
Take care amigo!
When you picked up the Strat, I thought to myself “Hey, he sort of looks like Joe Strummer!” Joe was mainly a Tele guy, though.
Quoted from zombywoof:When you picked up the Strat, I thought to myself “Hey, he sort of looks like Joe Strummer!” Joe was mainly a Tele guy, though.
Well here’s my Tele…i love the twang of those…bought it in Florida at Guitar centre.
Still got the travel docs in the case lol.
The Strat is more bluesy,the Tele is way sharper.
In short , i love both
Guitars are very awesome to me.

Quoted from Zitt:Next Bas is gonna tell us he's been writing a Alternative/Blues album during his lockdown and he'll be releasing the album to Amazon at the end of the month...
Well John,lots of inspiration lately right?
Wow man…
The album would be called “Covid Outkast”.
(FYI,I am fully vaccinated before i go any further,touchy subject..)
It is a very blues worthy topic.
The album will basically revolve around getting excluded and alienated from society for refusing the vaccin.
Song titles be like:
-they’re hunting me
-QR blues
-i can’t eat here,got the money tho
-divided nation
Stuff like that concerns me man.
I saw this in the news a couple of days ago…a Swiss restaurant owner received a concrete barrier from the government cuz he refused to refuse the unvaccinated.
I am not picking sides,don’t get me wrong.
All i am saying is,this stuff feels like dictatorship.

And I thought we had it bad... Its just sad that we can't all get along anymore.
Yes; I got booster #3 last week... as I'm going to a pinball show next weekend.
I hope I live to not regent the decision to go to the pinball show.
Quoted from SickNate:I hope you live to not regret the 3rd booster
I didn't regret the first two and won't regret the last.
I'm sure you're trying to imply a prohibited topic; if so you know what you can do with that factless conspiracy theory.
