Quoted from Cheddar:So it begins
We got the keys and emptied the trailer from our TV appearances yesterday.
Sorcerer! "Feel my power!"
To all the awesome guys setting up, hopefully you get some pinball breaks in between all the heavy lifting. 
The Suburban get packed tonight... The camper gets picked up on Thursday after work, and we are off bright and early on Friday morning.

Just spent the last half hour double and triple measuring the bed of my truck and machines trying to find a way to squeeze in Police Force. Gonna be a 50/50 shot to safely fit all 3 in the bed, wont know till I load the committed 2 tomorrow night......
I’ve logged about 25 games each on my two machines today and it looks like they’re both dialed in and ready for action. But I’ve got a buddy coming over tonight who’s gonna rack up a few more games for the true test. I’ll be hitting the road tomorrow morning. It’s showtime.
Quoted from JerryB:Trying to decide on a side dish for Sparky's BBQ.
Is anyone else thinking of doing corn on the cob?
If so, I also have access to some smallish zucchini and yellow squash.
Corn on the cob, zucchini AND yellow squash! There's your answer! 
As someone who has attended multiple PAGG, PPE, and CAX expos, I don't think I've ever been more excited to attend a show.
The change in venue is a breath of fresh air.
Weird Al tomorrow, followed by a weekend of playing pinball with my friends. There is no place that I'd rather be.

I LOVE your truck man. Those first gen Tacomas kick ass. I’ve got two myself, a 2000 SR5 with 358k miles on the original engine and transmission, and a 2nd Gen 2007 TRD Sport DCLB, the latter of which will also be hauling pins tomorrow.
Sorry for the distraction. Back to Pinball.

We got this 26ft. truck loaded front to back today . There’s a Lexy Lightspeed in there somewhere...
Damn. Can't sleep. The anticipation.
Like when you were a kid the night before Christmas or the first day of school.
36 hours and 17 minutes until the gates to wonka's pinball factory opens and we all have the golden ticket.

Ok, finished getting everything ready for the grand opening of Camp Silverball tomorrow. Camp Host Jason will be on duty! Doors roll up at 9am, see ya in the morning!
Quoted from starbase:Glad your going Willie and im playing that wh20 for sure.
Welcome back Will
Look forward to seeing you again
Please save 2 spots in the em area for me. I'll be there with San Francisco and Moulin Rouge tomorrow morning.
Packed and ready to go, I get off of work at 8:00 AM and should be there by 10:30 AM. Looking forward to hanging out all weekend with Y'all.
If anyone needs a place to pull up a chair and relax a bit under the shade during the weekend festivities my trailer at Camp Silverball is always available. Remember, JJ will be hosting as well and Sparky's bbq on Saturday is a great place to hang out at.
See you all real soon!!! For anyone driving, have a safe trip.
Quoted from pinballholder:Ok, trailer setup...now to start prepping for the grand opening of Camp Silverball tomorrow!
I wanted to downvote you............only because of my jealousy for not being there yet with my trailer/homebase set up 
haha
Loaded up. Let’s do this.
I’ll actually be dropping the machines off and heading ALL the way back home to attend my brothers’ graduation ceremony tomorrow morning, then hitting the road once more afterwards. Basically, I’ll be driving back and forth to Lodi four times this weekend. I’m gonna need some more podcasts and a LOT of caffeine.
MFP Out!
