Quoted from Gryszzz:Clay can me and Violent Steve pitch a tent for Fri and Sat?
What has freedom become when you have to ask permission to get a hard on whole drinking with another dude in a parking lot in a rural area.

Is it wrong for two men to pitch a tent.....I think not?
Brokeback Mountain right in Ann Arbor Michigan.
Gryszzz will wear his boots and Violent Steve will wear the hat. Maybe some silhouette lighting to set the mood?
Quoted from MrBally:One of the VFW Show office girls is busy sorting out the worker schedules attendance lists....

For some reason I now have a hankering for some thighs for lunch from Popeyes.
Quoted from Meegis:I'll bring the super 8 camera, Gryszzz and Steve will bring the 70s bush.
Nostalgia!
pasted_image (resized).pngI'm bumping this up, as now that Pinball At The Zoo is wrapped up, I'm focused on the Ann Arbor VFW Pinball Show, and not just because I'm working there all 3 days. It's nice to open the facility to pinheads and the public and see everyone having a great time playing more than 500 games. If you like playing pinball, this is the place to be.
Quoted from cfh:we have two jaws (premium and pro) for the show. and a weird al. maybe an elton john too.
Let's go!
Just wondering if anyone will be out at Marvin's next Friday evening.
I remember last year there was a league night when I come down.
Guelph, ON
Quoted from TheLaw:Mexico '86 is top Zac!
I kicked that machine's behind 2 years ago!
The parking lot tailgating will be in full force(Lunchtime and after we get our fill of pinball). We will have the Maker's Mark red umbrella up and serving, well, Maker's Mark to wayward souls that will need a pick me up! If the umbrella is up, the bar is open!
Come say hello, brink a Coke or a Faygo(this is as close to Detroit as you get) and we will spice it up!
Jack & Heather

Good deal, although pouring Makers Mark into Coke seems like a waste of good booze. Sorta like pouring Grey Goose into lemonade. Maybe some middle shelf booze to stiffen up the Coke? BTW: Weather report is partly cloudy with a good change of rum! 
Quoted from Gryszzz:I don't think there's any doubt about me being top tent pitcher.
God amongst men.
Yours would be considered a pup tent. Plenty of room for you two, tho.
It's springtime, and romance is in the air. Scooch over
The closest exit off US-23 to VFW is Exit 55, Silver Lake Road.
Be aware that whole interchange is under construction and all the ramps are closed. You cannot get on or off US-23 in either direction, and you can't get from one side of 23 to the other.
You will want to get off US-23 at either Exit 54, Nine Mile Road/State Road 36 just to the south, or at Exit 58, Lee Road to the north. Either way, Whitmore Lake Road runs parallel to the west side of US-23 essentially as a frontage road along that whole stretch.
See you all Saturday!
Wife and I are driving up again along with some friends, gonna do the whole weekend this year. I've been trying to downsize my whiskey collection, so you might want to look me up for a pour of something nice.
Really glad to see others excited about those Zac's. It's worth the trip to me to play Zankor.
Also, if anyone happens to have a fresh piece of wide body glass they wanna sell, shout.
I have an indy 500 to pickup in the murder mitten...thought I'd piggyback this on that...not going to happen. FML

Actually Makers, Coke and a twist of lime is excellent. I also prefer Kettle One over Grey Goose.
So it was mentioned that the snack shack will be serving coffee and latte's this year. I am going to assume these will be made from the coffee roasted
by 
cfh wife? Either way, I have a local brewery/distillery that make liquor cremes. This place is the former brewmaster of the Not Your Father's Rootbeers and other good stuff. (He made a deal with Pabst brewery and got screwed, long story). Anyway, I do a lot taste testing for him on pre production product, there is a panel of a few of us and the newest creation is Strawberry Moo. As it sounds, it is a creme based strawberry liquor and I was sent home with a 64 oz growler of this stuff last Saturday! In a latte? Woo hoo and OMG! I will have a 750ml bottle of this on ice for coffee enjoyment!

Can it be gotten to the show on Saturday? I can bring it back to Crystal Lake anyway.

Let meet up in the lot and park next to each other. I have my Maker's Mark Umbrella and plenty of booze too!
Unfortunately not the guy can't move it on his own, I have to actually go to his basement and put the lotion on my skin

Just give me his info, I will buy it out from under you.
Honesty...right?
Quoted from Bax1:I’m bummed I won’t be able to hang out with my buddy this show. I’ll have to give him a hug at the fall show

TheLaw will give him a BIG hug 4U.
Against my better judgement, I'm heading that way in the morning to be lectured on how I'm not adjusting relay, and score reel contacts correctly. Also, how I incorrectly put Williams Solid State machines in test and accounting modes.
And I dare not replace a Flipper rubber that isn't fully broken off.
Quoted from Ollulanus:I feel like dollar games should be a thing.
Don't tease me like that three days before Saturday.
someone asked about merch.
in addition to echovictor's t-shirts, 2 of us club members are going to try something different with some 3D printed pinball logo LED'd light boxes that illuminate via a usb type-A connector.
we will have a total of 40 to sell

They look great!
What kind of pricing? What dimensions are they? Are they hangable or countertop only?
Quoted from TheLaw:Reminder to self: Head to bank for $1 stacks.
Better yet, $2 bills. Nothing says pin boi like a $2 bill.
Quoted from guard:What a one or two dollar bill??
It's an American pinhead method for establishing manhood.
