Day 1 successful so far !

Met Blaine and Daniel in Peterborough.
Can't wait to see what Blaine and his class will do with the Joust cocktail vid
... however long it takes !  

Hooked-up with Dan and played his awesome game collection.
Necro, Squid, Vengeance and Sparky showed-up too.

Looking forward to meeting the other folks at Playdium on Saturday.
(...espcially those I need to trade goods for [ MonkeyBug, Steel/Marktoo, Terry ] )

Cheers,
Steph

Now I have another business aquaintance that wants a High Speed sys 11 pinball - needs to be nice and fully working - anybody????

ME

Going off topic - but how about a $2100 HS @ http://groups.google.com/group/rec.games.pinball/browse_thread/thread/e719ad75907ce390#   PinLED & Bill Davis & Original Coin Box  

SUCCESS !!!

Delivered all goods, picked-up all items,
.... and didn't lose any piece along the way

(...I just hope people got the right machines ! )  

It was a blast to see everyone and finally put a fact to the names.

I must have met about 20 MAACA/TOPL folks while I was there.

BIG BIG thanks to Dan (BallyBoy) for hosting his party on Friday night
and letting me stay at his place overnight.

Trip highlights:
===========
Meeting the folks
Playing free pinball
Dan's personal collection of pins
Meeting Elvira  (see pics in the other post..)
Having 8 guys load-up the Defender in my truck
Driving 10Km on HWY 416 with the trailer hatch open...

Trip Low-lights
==========
Being at an auction with 400 games and knowing
that bringing anything back home will lead to an immediate be-heading

Spending over an hour at U-haul returning the damn trailer
... and then being "trapped" in the parking lot as moron upon moron
returned their rented trucks and left them right and the entrance
causing a massive clutter.  I basically had to drive across their front lawn,
and down the sidewalk to get out...

But I'm home safely and all is good !  


Cheers,
Steph

Thanks again Steph!

Oh, Oh

I thought you said Defender was one of the lighter arcades????

Thanks again for doing that for me and I hope it didn't cause too much trouble picking that up for my friend. You helped convert a new collector at least

You're awesome Steph
I only wish that trailer had been delivering to MY house!

Have a well deserved Sunday with the family

It is !
There was just so much testosterone at Playdium before the auction
that guys were fighting to help !

Yah, I know...
The look on her face when I took the game down to her basement
tells me I'll likely be doing this again in the not too distant future...

At least she's got good taste in games !



Steph

Thanks Steph.

I unpacked my Monte Carlo this morning and everything looks great.

Very muck appreciated.

You are the best Steph. I didn't expect you to take it down to the basement. I was going to go over and do that for her. Thanks definitely from me for going the extra mile. Now maybe I'll finish off AFM today with uninterrupted time.

I owe you!
