OK, so there was only four of us, but that's probably a sizable percentage of Geelong...
Daniel was kind enough to invite Nug, Matt and me over for a couple of JW's, a couple of games, and some great pinhead conversation. Daniel lives in "Coin-op heaven" you name it - anything that takes coins, he's got it! (Yes, including the condom vending machine!!
)
Great to meet another pin head in person. Even got to play a few games on the legendary Riviera! What a nudge-lover's delight that game is! There's three lane guide type exits between the two tiny flippers (which are spaced miles apart), so part of the way to play the game is to use the rubbers on the posts at the end of those guides to keep the ball bouncing across them and over to a flipper, so lots of nudging and shaking to keep it in. Loved it! Imagine, someone sold it for like $137.00 dollars - what was he thinking??
Looks like Nug is holding the next one - Matt and Daniel are being taken into the inner sanctum - yes that's right - they have been invited into the Pinball Non-factory for a game on Coconut Island! Can't wait to see what they think - they will be the first outsiders to see the beast in person. Should be fun!
