January - Chris S, the 26th (4th Saturday)
February - Eric P, the 16th (3rd Saturday)
March - KD/Donovan the 16th (3rd Saturday)
April - ? -- should we even do it? MGC?
May - ?
June - Jim R, date tbd
July - Chris and Chateen, July 13th
August - KD/Donovan, Aug 10th
September - Jason, the 14th
October - Todd E, the 12th or 19th
November - Chris S, the 9th
December -?

Lets make a strong effort to fill in the schedule well in advance this year, so more people can appropriately plan to make it!
If you can host (thanks!), pick a month you'd like to host and then nail down a date at least several months in advance.

Please try to avoid weekends of the Madison/Milwaukee leagues (granted, their 2019 schedules aren't up yet - but they tend to be first or second Saturday of the month) and other large events in the area.

Not annoying at all.

Come on people. Start filling these slots.

We could do my house in June again. I'm sure by then I will have a few more system 11's to mix things up. :lol:

We'd be happy to host, but have a bit of a problem in that in the Spring we'll be pulling all our tables out of the basement and storing them while we finish the basement. And after that we'll probably thin the collection for a little while.

So, we could host Feb/Mar with our current collection (which is already covered), or some yet-unknown date in the Summer or Fall, depending on when the basement is done, but with 1-3 fewer tables. That's why I haven't thrown our hat in the ring thus far.

Blowing the basement out to make space for 8-10 more machines? That would be the only reason to redo it. Don't say you are doing it to make a family hang space. :lol:

We’re doing it to make a family hang space. :lol:

The basement is maybe 1000sqft in a long strip, and right now pinball is about 50% of that, all in a line. We’re chopping it up into a “bedroom” (pinball), bathroom, and a family room (read: Big TV for video games).

Original plan was to put a wall into the garage to make a workshop in the 3rd stall and put pinball there, but that will be tight with my coupe doors, so we’re doing this for now. If we can’t handle the limited pinball space, we’ll do the garage and gain another 6 pinball spots.

You can put me down for hosting in October. Madison league night is October 5th, so maybe the 12th? If Milwaukee is the 12th, put me down for the 19th.
