Definitely thanks to Jim for a fun meeting. And a special thanks for NOT letting me load up any pinballs into my van today . Got there after work but met lots of people and put some faces to newer members. Guess I better get my gameroom in shape for the next meeting . A special thanks to a couple of guys that helped get out Space Jam and set it up to play for me. Is it just me tho or does anybody else think this is Apollo 13 layout except with basketballs instead of moons and rockets?
Anyways, thanks Jim for a great party even if the pepperoni pizzas were all gone
Although I could only stay for one hour or so and unfortunately had to leave early, I also want to Thank you very much for the party, food and machines. Very generous of you. Mike and you for sure worked hard to prepare & set-up.
It was also fun to meet other MAACA people and associate people with MAACA nicks ! Heck, I even had a chance to install that missing drop target link on the Night Rider, and also play a few games !
Good thing I had to leave early, as I would have been tempted to buy more projects Hum, well, probably later when I free-up some room !
Thanks again,
Sincerely, - Sylvain.

Thanks again Jim, all of you are a bunch of great guys/gals and it's a pleasure to meet and discuss with all of you.
I too was VERY impressed with Shadow, that's a nice machine. Scared Stiff is a beauty and funny as well. I don't know if I'd ever get tired of all the one-liners. Rollergames is a fun game too and I was probably mostly surprised by Maverick and Congo; I'd not heard a lot of positive comments on those but for whatever reason, I found them fun.
And one day, I WILL own a BSD. That's a nice version you have Jim, love the signature on the backglass too. If I win some money this week, I'll give you a call on it .
Incidentally, I need to apologize to a bunch of people. My memory isn't very good when it comes to people's names, so if I tend to get your name wrong (again) at the next meeting, me is sorry. Worse part is, as I get older, it's getting worse.
Thanks a bunch Jim! It was a great chance to meet everyone in person, and talk/play pinball with some really good people. My favorite machines of the day were...Scared Stiff, STTNG, Simpsons Pinball Party, Champion Pub, The Shadow, and the biggest surprise of the day "Last Action Hero".
Whats that Shap pain in my back Oh it's a Knife Complete MAACA-Wacko!

Just wanted to say thanks Jim. I had lots of fun so did dita. Also hope it does save you time Ian you saved me some with that nintendo cab. One monitor was good like you said the other the bored is hacked up but hey np the tube looks very nice almost no burn so may just do a tube swap Azathoth I hope you get it working.
On another note We should make one meet with fleamrket theme because man i barely played just did deals in the parking lot even got a sunburn in the face
Life is like Pinball!! You never know where you will bounce or where your going but sometimes you have that one amazing shot But on the other hand you have those darn gutter ball where you just get frustrated.
Thans to everybody for coming!!! I snapped a few quick pix , but as you'll see, photography isn't my forte! It was great meeting some new members and seeing some familiar faces. Hope to see everybody again soon in Allentown!!!
Thanks for sharing! Now I owe you at least two beers in A-town!

Thanks again Jim, a blast as always! Loved the Scared Stiff and WPT, Champion Pub is a really fun game. I was really impressed with Stargate and The Shadow rocked.
Sparky - thanks for the cab... brought it home, had a quick look around inside ($1.50 in quarters!), plugged it in and fired it up. White screen just like you said... until it turned green... then black with letters...then the game started! I actually played Growl for 1/2 hour in my garage... bonus!
Although I arrived fairly late, missed the pizza, missed the other members, I had fun playing a few titles which I haven't touched in a long long time...
My friend, who isn't in the hobby, was thrilled to play all these games on 'free play'!!!....a new maaca member in the future????
thanks again...
