During ToPL's last season, I won a free rental of the Church, as it was graciously donated by Mike Hanley.

It's my b'day on Feb 27th.  I thought I would use my free Church rental to celebrate.  The closest date I can get is Sunday Feb 28th.   Before I confirm, I was wondering who would be able/interested in coming out to play some games and hang out for 3 hours on that day.  Will probably book some time in the afternoon, say 2:00.   No presents or anything, so none of you cheapos out there need to be afraid.

Post a reply if that date works for you, then I can get back to Christine and confirm the date.

Woo-hoo!  I just went to the Church after that last SB auction, it was awesome.  If it's a kid friendly event (which I would assume it is) count me in (+ 2 daughters)

Daniel

I would probably drop in for a bit

Can I come with my kids too?

I will try and make it as long as my 11 year old daughter will be allowed to attend as well.

Hey guys, wanna chip in for a blow-up doll?

Another one ?

I and my 2 sons would come.

If everyone is bringing kids then I guess I could let my daughter tag along. The boy can stay home and drool.

I can't imagine kids coming is a problem.  The rental is good for up to 30 people and kids are almost like people.

I could make it out

Okay, I've confirmed the date and time.

Date :  Sunday Feb 28th
Time :  2:00 - 5:00

Kids are allowed but must be kept on a leash.
Up to 35 people can attend, so I will start making a list of potential attendees.  If you see your name on the list and need it removed or the numbers of attendees changed, lemme know.

What about wives?  

I can't believe any self-respecting wife would want to come.   How about a general rule, you can either bring your kids or your wife. But no dog !!!

My wife wants to come too.She wants to see your teeth up close.

where abouts is the place... I think i can make it that weekend

Quoted from BIGWIG416

where abouts is the place... I think i can make it that weekend

Mississauga .. very near the Hershey Arena

Keep in mind that Mike and Christine have an "upstairs" where they could be talked into putting on a "kids" movie on teh big screen or perhaps set up XBox video games or something like that if you need to keep some kids (or wives) distracted.  !

Try to confirm as soon as possible, just in case more than 35 people end up wanting to come out.

.. very near the Hershey Arena

Heh.. is that slang for something?  HEYOOOOOOoooo

If you can squeeze one more, I would like to attend. I wanna see Mr. Niceguy get "the bumps!!!"

Yikes... just realized that the Olympic hockey gold medal game is that day.. 12:15.   Don't know if that's Pacific or Eastern time, but if Canada's playing, I might have to remove myself from the list.    I like you and all, Glenn, but just probably not that much.  Then again, if Canada shits the bed like they did last Olympics, I'll be there with bells on!
Daniel

WOHOOO!

I am in for an afternoon of pinball fury!  put me down, no wife or kids though...

Still got lots of room....

The list has been amended.  Remind her that there is no drunkenness, nudity or other luscivious behaviour.  

Just a reminder about the Feb 28th free pin party at the Chruch.

Let me know if you want to get on or off the list.   It's a very exclusive party....you've gotta have a pulse !

Quoted from Ricker

Hey, you forgot me !

Sorry Ricker...no Gottlieb-lovers allowed.  But I guess you bought that Strange Science so that'll have to do.


Aerostarz, anybody who is willing to commute from Whitby to Brampton 5 days a week deserves an afternoon of free pinball.   I'll put you down for "1", let me know if you are bringing Mrs. Aerostarz or the little aerostarz.

Hey Terrance.  Sure you guys can come.  Sorry I didn't put you on the list on my previous post, but as you will see, I was posting it at the same time that you were, so I didn't even see your request until now.

Anyway, you're in !

Hey I finally get to meet the elusive Terrence and the elusive Wayne. The Kaiser Soses of pinball!

Actually they will have a private room of their own.  No mere mortal is permitted to lay eyes upon them.

OK so Medusa and the Cyclops can stay in the back and play El Toro.

Hey you forget my wife which makes 4.

Hi that great! thanks,
Yeah Brampton is my second home, I will ask the wife if she wants to come, 'she used to play pball and Galaga quite a bit. I better get the "free game option" working in my F14 or she will end up breaking the key to the lock!!.

I am at the peak of my other hobby and have a seperate "games room" dedicated to it. Should be interesting to see her reaction when we show up and that evil grin appears on my face>

I have a second large room in the basement for my young sons, but plan on making a games room one day.
Only problem is that pinballs are harder to hide!!

Maybe i can make them look like tool boxes in my garage!! lol

Actually, I forgot one of your kids.  I didn't know you had 2 of them.  Jeez man, put it back in your pants !

hmm.. well I would love to stay for the whole day, Glenn, but if Canada makes it to the finals.. I may have to bow out early (I'd still come for a bit though, it ain't that far after all.)

I tried to convince the kids and wifey to attend but it will just be me. No need for the +1 anymore.

I might be +1

If anyone that's going to this party wants me to print stuff for them, or perhaps bring some of my nifty mods (*cough* http://www.pinballcustoms.com *cough*) please let me know.    I don't mind swinging a deal.. you're saving me a trip to the post office.

What are the prizes for 1st, 2nd, and 3rd place in the tournament?

Prize 1- Toothbrush

Prize 2- Clean toothbrush

Prize 3- Binaca

Excellent. I choose to WIN!

I HATE to do this but you will likely have to drop me and the boys out.  I am basically chained to my desk completing some critical accounting for the next little while.

Kaiser.....SSSSSose!

Does the Church have a big screen tv, chicken wings, pitchers of beer and basic cable that gets CTV? Just asking for no particular patriotic reason ...

Nope but they do have internet access I believe so we could get the feed that way

maybe someone with a projector (ie. Gremlindude / GJD) would be willing to lend it for a bit while the pinball festivities are on?  

http://www.cgcc.ca/forum/viewtopic.php?t=20221

I do believe Mike has a large screen projector tv upstairs in the mezannine. Just ask him to tune in. The wings, well is there a wing place on the way?

UPDATE :  Party Cancelled

I'll follow up with a PM to everyone who was planning on coming, but I've decided to cancel the Church Party.  Seems like I picked a bad time of the year to be born, and since Mike H. was nice enough to donate the free rental, I wouldn't feel comfortable dragging him in on a Sunday just for a handful of people.

Thanks anyway, to all who replied.

Shite! Oh well I guess some people wanna see hockey. But we all chipped in for that blowup doll for Glenn. And then somebody stuck a pin in it. Well Glenn we can still play some pinball at my place tomorrow. I will put a patch on Betsy (the doll).

I have been MIA from the forum... I would have LOVED To have gone, and of course don't watch sports, so it wouldn't have been an issue for me!

Sorry the party got cancelled
