    Last Thursday bingo genius and good friend Nick Baldridge, from Richmond, Virgina and IPDB head honcho and also a good friend Jay Stafford from Seattle flew into St. Louis on their way to Wayne Neyen's 100th birthday party in Mountain Home, Arkansas. My good friend Jon Mueller also joined us for the day.
    We all had a great time playing and talking pinball and I look forward to us meeting up again. Thanks for a good time guys.

    Jay becomes addicted to the United Caravan bingo and racks up some impressive replays. Check out that smile on his face.

    Jay playing the Super Bingo slot and Jon playing the rare Bally Golden Gate slot. Note the racy Dave Christensen art on the Golden Gate.

    My wife Carol and Nick discussing "way over my head" computer stuff. They both work in the computer industry.

    Quoted from bingopodcast:

    Oh, if only! So much wasted potential in that picture - had I hit the rollover and lit after 5th, I could have scored four in the yellow section for 50 and 3 in the red for an additional 8 (hey, every bit helps).
    But I was mostly going for the futurity hit because my green odds were uncharacteristically much higher than the rest! I managed the OK hit in my first two balls, the rest were gravy.

    Jay, it was great to meet you and be able to play some games together! I've learned that you are not to be trifled with on the rolldown Lite-A-Line, the Carombolette, and the bagatelle... I bet you're pretty good at billiards, too!

    Yeah. I think Jay hustled us!

    Quoted from xsvtoys:

    OMG that Golden Gate slot machine, now I want one of those!! I’m a big fan of Dave Christiansen. Too bad it looks like it’s about impossible to get, I didn’t find any for sale. There aren’t even any decent pictures that I can find on the internet. Any chance you could post a better close-up of yours?

    I'll post better photos later.

    Glad you enjoyed seeing them.

    Quoted from pinwiztom:

    Very interesting and fun. Hope there is a follow up topic post about the visit to Wayne's Bday party.

    I'm pretty sure Nick or Jay will have some sort of write-up on the event.

    Here are some better photos of the slot. I also included photos of my Miss America Deluxe bingo that also has Mad Dog art.
