    What a great event ...

    On 25. August 2017 I have been on vacation in Holland and took the chance, to visit ROBIN, the founder of pinside.
    I sent him a PM and asked him, if it would be possible, to meet him in Alkmaar. He responded at once and the same day, we, my wife, my daughter, my son and me, made our way to Alkmaar in the evening.

    It was an unforgettable evening with Robin and his friends.

    Robin has a really great location and wonderful pinball machines.

    We all felt very comfortable, as Robin and his friendes were so friendly and attentive; we had very nice talks about pinball-machines and it was a very informative evening, and - Robin had really great Netherlands beer

    My little son absolutly wants to make his next holidays in Holland again, as Robin told him, that he will have a Harry Potter pinball machine next year.

    Thank you very much Robin, you are the Greatest - and we will come back for sure.

    But pics say more than words ....

    Haha, the big boss. I like that title

    It was a fun evening for sure. You guys are welcome back any time!

    The only thing I’m afraid must be a misunderstanding is that Harry Potter pin. That’s gonna get kind of difficult, since one does not currently exist. I wonder which game we were talking about though, I can’t remember.

    Anyways, thanks for the pics and see you next time!

    Harry Potter next JJP ?

    Looks like Robin leaked that JJP#4 is Harry Potter..

    Very cool. If there was a Harry Potter made by JJP, I would love to play that, too.

    Could the problem go along with the photo evidence, of too many empty beer bottles? Hmm...

    Drat, I was hoping no one would catch that!

    Quoted from SealClubber:

    Is that the new Koog?

    Is there such a thing as wishful leaking?

    Uhm, of information I mean.
