As per title.
I am keen to host a small meet for any fellow pinheads in Brisvegas or beyond.
I will put a bbq on and whack a carton of coldies on ice.
Date and time is flexible but I will lock a date in if there is any interest.

Locked in for the 10th but can always have a few beers and games this week-end if you are keen. I'm always up for pins and beers!
I love watching other people play pins, so much more fun than playing solo.

I will post a new date for this meet very soon.
Sorry for the delay but I am in the middle of changing my lineup around and wouldn't want to have a meet with no pins. Doh!
Hope to have my lineup sorted in the next week or two, I will post a date soon after, at this stage it is looking like early to mid Nov.
Title: Re: Any interest in a Brisbane pinball meet?
Post by: Cow Corner on October 18, 2011, 09:52:19 AM
Ok guys I sorted my lineup out and I have locked Sat Nov 12th in for the meet.
Please post or pm if you would like to attend.
We live in a small house but will try to squeeze as many in who want to attend but will have to keep the numbers down to around a dozen.
I will put a sausage sizzle and a carton of beer on.
Pins are- Junkyard, RFM,CFTBL.

Loving the new pins, JY is heaps of fun..it's a funny game, at first it seems like just another pin but it creeps up on you while your not looking with some interesting modes and multiballs. Audio is pretty cool too and the time machine modes from other games is a great touch.
Mine plays really fast as well which is great as I love fast playing pins.
