Damn... if your tattooist is there, he can't ink me... next time.

I could probably put somebody up here in the Hamilton area as well. I live about 35 minutes from the location of the event.... as long as you don't mind a deaf, dumb, dog who doesn't go by the name of Tommy.

Actually he's not that dumb... just drives me crazy sometimes.

  we will still be working during the day as well or if not then, we will work the night away.

I am coming from Vancouver for the tournament. I can hardly wait! I am a tourny first-timer.

Please, no exceptions for me. I will have it done eventually.

Wow, that's awsome to hear, I really hope this turns out much better then I expect.  If we get 100 people to show up to this event that would be absolutley frikin amazing!!

This is great... Hey... anyone interested in a meet-and-greet at any local bar or restaurant in the vicinity of the tournament? Friday night or Saturday night? That would be frickin awesome. Any good bars close by?

I think one of the members of this board  was talking about doing a meeting at his place on the Saturday ..

Due to... unfortunate circumstances, I will probably not be attending the pinball championship, even though I paid for an entry. I simply no longer can afford it, unless playfield jobs come in, which they are not.

If any of you were planning to bring me a playfield, please PM me. I will see what I can do. If I get 5 or more pf jobs, then I will attend.

Well, looks like I stand corrected. Due to an overwhelming response to the clearcoating service, looks like I will be attending the Pinball Championship. So if anyone wants a clearcoat job done, I will even come down with my van (with a newer engine...). So THAT means that if anyone wants a game brought down to TO from my place, I can do so. I can fit 1 pin no prob, 2 if standard pins with the heads removed. I will do it for 50$. It will help pay the gas, and the clearcoat jobs should pay a fleabag motel room for 2 nights.

Anyone ever been to the Days Inn in Mississauga near the airport? 79$ a night... not bad. There is also a Comfort Inn at 66$, but the reviews are less than stellar (old, cases of bed bugs, no hot water, etc...). Looks to be a 5 minute drive from the tournament.

I am also considering the offers to stay over at a member's place, but if I decide to go out late with other members, it will be a bit awkward if I come in late and everyone is sleeping...

Also... anything organized for a MAACA-members party or something?
