OK - I've picked a date for starters. Agree with all comments and a set date would be good, but lets get it off the ground and work on the details afterward.
Saturday, January 17th 2-5pm
Anyone know Shoeguy's phone number?
The games available are:
Sure Shot (Gottlieb EM)
Bobby Orr Powerplay
Sinbad
TwilightZone
Funhouse
Dracula (BSD)
We'll have an excuse for low TZ's scores 'cause the upper-playfield is missing a few scoring switch blades (I've been too lazy to finish researching the part number - it was not easily findable in the TZ manual). A few games have the "free play dot" but I believe that's because I suck at pinball (too lazy again to check the test report) - hey it was Christmas.
Sorry to those that indicated to me that this date wouldn't work for them, but this Saturday does not work for me, and I want to get the first Ottawa Pinball League (OPL) event going.
Ya, I can run the show. I can't promise to being super organized, it'll be a learning experience, for sure.

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.
I would come if I could but since I'm reading this from Orlando, could be a bit of a stretch, Good news is that my hotel has a POTC and a Batman this year. At least the LOTR is gone - YES! Was hoping for a CSI but I'll find one down here....
Have fun tomorrow. LMK what gets decided for future organized meetings. I can host Feb or March if you like. Just pencil me in where you want.
Some things I should have mentioned to those who are coming:
1) We likely won't hear the doorbell as we are in the basement. The garage door is open - come in that way, and follow your ears (go down the stairs) 2) Its in the basement - you might want to bring some indoor shoes if your feet get cold. I'm ok in sock feet, but others might not be.
Phone number if you are lost or can't get in: 613.274.7493
The first OPL was held. Wow time flies, already forgot the placings. Sorry.
