The flyer looks great and makes me want to go!

This has to be a positive event for pinball in Australia.

The only way you will get the punters out at break time will be to warn 5 minutes ahead then switch off the power to the machines like we had to do last year 'cause they just won't stop playing them otherwise.

Looking to spruike again??

Mike, can u speak Cantoneese or Mandarin ? because I was thinking this year, u could announce specials in either language for your products, and get peoples attention.lol  %.%

I reckon it would be a classic to see peoples faces looking at you wondering what the hell u are saying as you are holding up a new Homepin DMD Display, talking in Mandarin or Cantoneese.  %.% People would remember you for years.

.......and on a  serious note, anyone who learns to speak Chineese, would be doing themselves a great service as China will be this centuries financial powerhouse, and switched on operators like Mike are already doing business overseas which ends up getting alot of pinheads, at the Newcastle Show and on the forums, cheaper and more modern pinball products.

I can get by in Mandarin. Anyone considering learning Chinese should study Mandarin as it is spoken country wide as well as in Taiwan where Cantonese is only spoken in Hong Kong and Canton (Canton is actually Guangzhou, pronounced Gwong Joe).

I will come up with a line or two to use...... %.%
