Real good chance i'm going to go to this, things like this don't happen that often right?

Hey Brad,

You are welcome to come up in the car with Rod, Anna and myself.

You just need to get to my place at Bulli....LMK ^^^

Whoa Tony, that would be absolutely AWESOME. I was thinking about driving myself but would be a boring trip on my own (no-one i know is interested, i don't know any girls who would want to see this doc either !!!). Happy to pay for petrol/parking also. Thanks for the offer Tony count me in, i'll PM you when we get closer to the date. Thanks! #*#

Paul, I'm in for the afterparty, its in Kings Cross so we'd probably have to get a taxi there as it would be a bit of a walk.

Regarding pubs to meet beforehand, looking on Google maps the Imperial hotel looks ok & is just down the road. The Paddo RSL is just across the road so is another option bit its an RSL so might be a hassle to get in

its on this Tuesday isn't it ... what time??

What a good night! Rod, Braddo and I caught a ride with Tony (thanks, mate), so it was a pleasant drive.  ^^^

Met up with other pinheads for a quick drink and a bite before it started (some I knew, some new faces) and then we headed over to the theater.  What a good turnout! To be fair, many were friends and family of the producers, I think, but I'm sure there were other enthusiasts there as well.

It was educational (for me, anyway) and very entertaining.  I laughed out loud at a few moments, and at some of the 'pingeeks' but have to admit, I thoroughly enjoyed this documentary and look forward to the DVD.

Tony, my heart went out to you mate, during those terrible scenes where innocent pinball machines were being cruelly clubbed to death or even set on fire.  I know how hard that must have been for you to endure, but I'm proud of you - you didn't cry after all!  !!!

Play Centipede without a track ball? Um -- it's Centipede! A joystick won't cut it, Rod, I NEED MY TRACKBALL!! :wtf:

That was one of the better nights i've had for a while ^^^.

Was a great doc, had some real funny moments, i tried not to laugh along with the largely unexperienced crowd cause i take pinball very seriously, pinball is cool and not to be laughed at, but it got a fair few laughs from me. I did not know pin-geeks existed until now.

C'mon Rollerball waiting for a review #@# *)*

Ok well hangover is getting better now..lol..
What a great night...good to see hundreds of pin heads all crammed into the cinema...well at least 10 of us where pinheads...lol..
Doco was fantastic...the artwork done was very very nice...and some GREAT footage...looks great in HD..
Get to see pingeeks in the Doco that would put most of us to shame...and will get Louise to watch this when its out on DVD so I can show her that Im not really that bad as I only have 10 pins..lol
Anyway this Doco is going to be a MUST BUY for anyone into pins when its out on DVD/BLURAY

3 cheers for SPECIAL WHEN LIT  @@* @@* @@*
