Ricochet - what are the chances that fishtales will be in by then?

Yours,

Jeri mentioned Thursday night that she is heading out of town for a few days and it probably won't be in by Tuesday. But I can't speak for Ricochet.

[deathsave]

c'mon trish! i know you can carry that thing by yourself.

[Jeri]

I'm almost done shopping out Fish Tales, but you can never tell what problems will show up. With a little luck I can get it in for the tourney!

Eric - what's BRN? Am I going to have to rumble them... ball to ball?

[emma]

Gosh I'm glad we're all going to play pinball again together.

[Dropshot]

I know it's been a while

[eric]

"Best of the Rest in the Northwest" from the ill-fated CFF vs. non-CFF (includes Seattle) Rumble.

[ROM]

Oh yeah. fuck those guys!

I noted this on the Events post () - Sauce and I were in there on Saturday, just shredding the machines like usual, and that was cool, but the dollar-to-coins machine was NOT working. It was on, but it just wasn't taking dollars (like, not even starting to suck them in). And sometimes there's a long line for doughnuts, plus the cashiers can be stingy with quarters. So I advise that you bring quarters, if you can.

[eric]

Dennis and I had this same problem yesterday - change machine wasn't working and the cashier would only give us $1 in quarters. Played BSD and Hurricane, both of which were in top notch shape. Any notes on RS or T2?

[ROM]

I can't remember. I do remember declaring a couple times throughout the night (re: machine notes), "I'll post about this on the message board!" And Sauce would be like, "whatever, man." and yeah... whatever. I can't remember. So probably nothing important.

Sauce and I got like 900mil split flippering Road Show.

I seriously think there should be a split flipper tournament (where you pick your partner - not random). I guess I could try organizing it.... there's a lot coming up soon. So maybe it should be in Jan or Feb.

[Dropshot]

Yeah..there are a few other 'teams' that are wanting this too! Fred and I were thinking of doing it after Shorties sometime. Have it on a Tuesday, but post it a few weeks in advance so people can have time to find a partner and let us know the teams in advance. It would also give people a weekly or two or some time to talk around to find their partner and practice up a bit too.

[ROM]

Yeah, a week or two advance is crucial. Also crucial is a location with space between the machines.

[Dropshot]

also machines that play well split flipper. Maybe Goodfoot or C-Bar.

[ROM]

The coin machine was working last night.

[PatC]

Not going to make it tonight... stuck at work. Have a good night.

[Opto]

Nice turnout everyone! It's lookin' like 20 is the new 16! We'll keep you posted about next week - should have a location and date figured out by tomorrow night.

[Dropshot]

here's where we can still go:

Slabtown-1
Goodfoot-1
Noah's Garage-3
Voodoo-2
Portsmouth Pizza-3
Billy Ray's-1
Standard-3
Ship-2
Slingshot-3
C-bar-3
Green Dragon-3
Vern-2

I think we should hit up Slabtown, Goodfoot, Standard and Voodoo as many times we can this year. But that's just my opinion.

Nice win Noah, what were the payouts?
