Twilightzone (Duane) spent the whole day here to help me finish up cleaning, Novusing, Windexing, few minor soldering, moving games, etc to get all the games up to 100% for the meeting tomorrow. The lineup is looking great and after final tidying tonight the place will be ready for tomorrow.
Count so far is over 30 adults and 11 kids and 5 spouses. Going to be a great family fun pinball day (and 1 lonely Mame)
A big thank you to medvet for hosting a great event!
I had to skip out early as it's 'girls night out' and my wife needs the car. I did get to try all the games though. Including the family was a nice touch. The kids are working on mom. They now want a pin at home. My plan is all coming together .
Looking forward to seeing some pics. I forgot the camera as usual.
Many Thanks to Mary-Ellen for hosting such a great event! Even though I could not stay long (too many things to do this week-end), I really appreciated the machines, and seeing/talking with everyone !
*WOW*, what a collection of nice machines in nice shape! Especially in a living room area! (I need to convince my wife that Pinball machines can be integrated VERY well into home decor .
'You go, girl!', I am sure you will be a model for other women out there! It is nice to see a woman who is able to not only to select good games, but also able to do playfield retouch, and also some board repairs !
I also really appreciated the 'little attentions' re: party sandwitches, healthy snacks, etc., and my two daughters had a good time too! Thank You for the kid's gift bag, they are pleased with them!
Thanks again, Best Regards, - Sylvain

Hi Mary-Ellen I have to say big thanks for having us over!! It was a blast had lots of fun and made my wife want LOTR oh dear Also would Like to thank Azatotht for caring the boxes for me to Pascal to bring to Bruno big thanks on that. Was also happy to surprise him showing I was French Great to see every body wish I could have said bye to every body but wife drag my a** home, If she would not of done that Mary-Ellen would have had to kick my a** out at 2 am Thanks Again from me and Dita PS: I should go play sometimes at your place when not a meet
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.
Thank you everybody for the thank yous! I had a great day and my machines behaved very well all in all considering all the playing they got today. It was wonderful to have everybody enjoy my machines because thay are meant to be played and enjoyed. If any of you are in the area in the future, feel free to give me a call and pop over for abit of playing .
Special thanks (I think ) to Sylvain for the surprise purchase and actually surprise sell. I'm still feeling the "Mom missing kid pangs" for my first kid to leave the nest! The good side is that the Fire from Frosken now fits in my gameroom . A big thanks to JD and Frosken for running back to his house and bringing it in for me. Seb loves it!
Anyways, thanks again for making the day alot of fun and hopefully everybody enjoyed the first official "Family Pinball Meeting". We'll be sure to do it again in the future.
