Yeah, I won't be playing in the SCS in any state (not even West Virginia!). Just bad timing this year.

THIS IS WHY THERE ARE SO FEW WOMEN PLAYING PINBALL.

Seriously. Stuff like this doesn't make a welcoming environment. Please think about your audience.

Ken, is January 18th too soon? I'd bet you look awesome in a dress--you have the right body type.

Oooh, I really want to do this but: 1. I have only very little experience working on my own one table, so I think I'd need some help. 2. I don't think I can commit to doing it in the next six months. 3. I do not have a wife to lie to. Maybe count me in for the next round, so I have a chance to take ...

The group in question was behind us (me, Brian, Garrett, Buddha). With Buddha putting up all of his ridiculous scores, that other group had to keep sitting and waiting while we finished up tables. We only had to poke them once (Star Wars, which I believe was their last table) to start, so please don...

I actually ended up not signing up. Hilarious right? I just couldn't justify the $1000 expense (entry, travel, accommodations, food) this time. It was an awesome time, and I'd love to do it again, just not bad enough for spend the money on it in the end. That is a BIG part of the reason I would rat...

I got in. I might be ridiculously excited about that.

Who else is going?

Hilton, please. We all know it would be inappropriate to capitalize the 's' in that case.

I am planning on going (registration-willing). I haven't put any thought at all into how I'm getting there yet, though I may be coming by way of New York City. So I'm not sure how helpful I'm going to be, given that I'm also staying with friends of mine in East Liberty.

They've done just exactly this in Pittsburgh. A bunch of folks got together, formed a co-op, and rented out an old fitness center to turn it into the Pittsburgh Pinball Factory. At any given time, there are 30-40 tables there, all owned by Pittsburgh Pinball League members. The Thursday night crowd ...

I'm ready to help when you set up that tasting...

I'm not going to be able to make it, either.
Just make sure whoever wins is ready to fork that money over to me next time I show up.

This is going to sound weird, but, does anyone driving down have room for my bicycle? I'm coming from Houston, so I've got transportation for myself, and work is paying my way back, but I've been meaning to leave a bike there for a while.

I'm in Madison. If the cost isn't ridiculous for small one-offs, I'd love some contact info. DXF? Did you have to provide tool paths or just the drawing?

Did you do the laser-cutting yourself? I have a few sheet metal projects that need to be laser cut, and I'm trying to find somewhere nearby I can do it.
