    Quoted from maf-mi:

    They also have toilet seats that wash your ass with warm water. I would venture to say that it's unique to any pinball location on earth! A totally immersive experience. Oh, what a feeling!!!

    The JUNKYARD has the toilet upgraded to a bidet!

    Quoted from WaddleJrJr:

    Dang it, found out I could go Saturday and was excited, but went to buy the tickets and they were sold out.
    Oh well, maybe next year.

    Why not Drive up Sunday? There are still tickets for sale.

    #116 8 years ago

    Looks like the ball bowlers will have beer frames after all.

    Quoted from Bigbossfan:

    Hi all. I'm looking for a ticket for Saturday as well. Just closed a deal to pick up The Shadow from someone attending on Saturday, and it would be a shame to drive all the way and not get in to the show. Much appreciated!
    Reg

    Reg, Stay over night and come to the show on Sunday.

    I can't get a ticket for my stepson, he waited too long to decide, and I am a member of AAPM.
    So now he gets to go on Sunday.

    The orange barrels are NOT pop bumpers!

    A Special thanks to DOMINOS for being our tournament sponsor.
    Dominos provided pizza for lunch and giftcards and other items for prizes.

    Quoted from TheLaw:

    Dude If I had known that bucket was for first out I would have taken a dive!

    If you need a Buffalo Wild Wings fix, they are just up the highway at the Lee road exit. The manager put the basket together for me to give away, before I knew of the Domino's sponsorship. Then I suggested to Clay that we make the basket the award for the first one out. The rest of the door prizes went out random except 2nd place got a Domino's gift card. Hope everyone had fun playing in the tourney. Going out early also meant more playing time in the main building.

    Quoted from MarkInc:

    Once again, we (the LOPL crew) had an awesome time on the Saturday. 10am-9pm.
    Thanks Clay and Eric and all the Orange shirts!
    When do tickets go on sale for next year?

    I bought 2 tickets January 10 for a birthday present.
    Not sure of the exact start date: Jan 1 (?)
    The show SOLD OUT for Saturday 3-4 weeks before the show.

    The Ninja has a great staff of technicians to fix the games when they broke. The inhouse repair center saw a few games wheeled in, repaired, and returned to service.

    #229 8 years ago

    WICO AF-TOR

    Quoted from tmontana:

    Ummm yeah, this happened to me about 3 times.. I had to nudge to get it out, didn't want the thing to break

    As the unofficial Beta tester of restored/repaired games for the VFW I will take the blame. Somehow I missed playing this game before the Showcase.

    Quoted from rottenrobert1313:

    . It was one of his favorite games. That and the Do Ray Me game at the end of the same isle. He said he was surprised at how much fun the EM games were. I guess I'll be on the lookout for one.

    Your talkin about ROCK STAR the AAB version of Blue Note. A rare EM and in excellent shape. It is a blast to play. The 5" bell (gong) adds to the chimes every 10K. Some claim its a bit easy. I have to concur. My high game is well over 330,000. Making the A-B-C light the kickout hole for WOWS untill the ball is drained. Which means you can rape it for up to 5 WOWS!

    #240 8 years ago
    Quoted from rottenrobert1313:

    Yes you're right. I couldn't remember the name of the game. Do Ray Me is what he was calling it. lol I played a few games of it and noticed the gong. Pretty cool.

    You can hear the Gong on GOLDEN ARROW but for a 10K target
