Take over 100 machines...
« on: March 14, 2014, 02:26:00 PM »
Take over 100 machines on free play... make them available for 3 days.. add camping and accommodation..

What do you have?

PIN A GO GO!!!!



..Yep, its PIN A GOGO time again... Play some pinball.. add a swap meet.. meet Steve Ritchie.. meet fellow pin enthusiasts.. what more could you want?
Why are these shows in US so great? Why are they so popular??.. well they aren't restricted.. anyone can go.. theres no pay a shitload of $$'s just to have an exclusive lock in which isn't exclusive in its invitation.. ha ha ha!

Pinball.. how it should be done.. fun.. friendly and relaxed..

Oh and according to my mate Dan... this is what the room service is like..

Very 50s room service with 60s art means there could be a discovery of fun there.

If you remember playing pinball in the 70s you were having a good time.

Aah yes - that one. Hasn't been advertised on this forum.. this is the $150 lock in ticket available only to a certain forum so only people from that forum can attend? . But if  all 350 tickets not sold then the scum public MAY be allowed to join in? Its not a business.. its a hobby..LOL.. Potential $45000 to be made from a lock in and its not a business?

Like I said.. US style.. fun.. popular.. not restricted...

 who put the AA in animosity??

 %.% %.% %.% %.%

Ok.. back on track to the reply.. I wont be attending, right from the start, it lacks any good vibe

The yanks know how to do this properly. No politics, and inclusive to everyone. Not just a little boy's club depending on who you know etc etc..
