I talked to Josh Henderson on Sunday and he said he was not coming this year. We all have a chance. :D

Was down there last night checking everything out. Kind of wish Gladiators was in the main group. Never seen that machine before and it is pretty cool. Love the ramp flow.

Gladiators is a fun game. The scoring is a little unbalanced, but still fun. Setting up combos for points is always fun too. I had a nice one for awhile. Like a lot of Gottliebs from that era, the rules are a bit lacking unfortunately. Getting to Beast Slayer is super simple. The layout is fantastic though. Luckily the shake is disconnected on the one at Waunabowl, or it would tilt all the games around it.

I paid the bartenders off to make all you drinks NA so the rest of us have a shot. I heard Tully also made a no pink headphones rule...

Didn't think I could have more fun than last year. Glad I was wrong. Will try and post some pics tomorrow after work. Thanks Tully, Todd, HIlton, Chris, Gene and everyone else who donated time to this great event!

That was a F'n fun day! Stressful but F'n Fun. I have so many stories but it is late or I should say early morning Sunday after Wauna. Late night because I had $100 dollars in my pocket some how??? I am sure pics and stories will be posted soon, thanks to all that came and not said enough thanks to Tully! We all know that without him we be ... playing with ourselves on Saturday. :roll:

P.S. Thanks to the guys for the "Best Referee of Pinball 2013-2014" Trophy!! :D

Wauna-Thank-You all! - I just wanted to say "Thank you very much" to all of the people involved in the tournament (especially Tully)! We (my buddy Jason and my uncle Dan) were a little worried that we weren't going to get in (being 6, 7 and 8 on the waiting list) but it worked out just perfect! I am taken back how friendly and cool of a crowd it is and it's just plain awesome to sit down with some fresh faces and discuss a common interest. It's also great to be within an hours drive of something like this and is so exciting to see this growing and receiving media coverage!!!
On a side note, didn't play too hot (except on LOTR) but I think my mind was more on hanging out and shooting the $h!t than anything. LOL
Anyway, Thanks again and see you all at MGC!
