Who is Pat Kawlor friday at 2:00? :-)

[Lloyd Olson]

He's the guy doing bird imitations instead of his usual doom and gloom
speach.

Starting with crows. KAW, KAW, KAW, KAW.

The entry in the schedule for the Internet Get-Together is from last
year. The
get-together will happen as scheduled, but the topics will be
different.

Also take note of the talk by Mark Helms on Friday morning. The
producers of
the 1996 documentary are considering how much money to invest in
updating
it. Rampant bootlegging will dissuade them!

The seminar on pneumatic pinball is a repeat from many years ago,
presumably
by popular demand. They had the ultimate solution to long game times:
you
can only play as long as your tank of air holds out!

I will have a seminar Saturday on what I'm up to with backglass projects & continued playfield restorations.

[Frank Furhter]

Pretty much looks identical to '11 and possibly the years prior. Pretty
funny, same old same old.

For Expo I might play the tournament if someone is looking for a partner.

I will be there. Friday and Saturday.

Is there a problem ?

I'd bet my entire collection he meant to reply to FF.

[Lloyd Olson]

You would think so.

Except some time back he was hoping Gary Cubeta would return. And I was
Gary's number 1 target.

The air powered game is back? Cool! That was one bizarre game to play.

Sadly, this will be the first Expo I will not be attending in many years. Going to PPE instead.

[flyman]

To LTG: Is your show & get together going to be about your life in the
pinball world? You could keep everyone entertained for hours. Or are
you keeping this one a secret?

[Lloyd Olson]

Maybe next year. Always great to see you. LTG :)

There are recordings on Pinball News of the three previous ones. ( caution
adult language - quite often the ladies get out of hand as the evening
progresses )

Probably very similar. Pinball parts, pinball parts, questions, answers,
some Pinball Circus gags, drawings for prizes. You never know where the
crowd will take you.

Some pretty good questions. I have half a century in coin op and almost 40
years with SS Billiards, 19 years as a test operator. Stories from the
industry, current affairs. So it can be interesting both the questions and
the answers.

Only thing secret is the new material I'm working on for the toasts.

The show pretty much goes where the crowd takes it.

And I need to find an full mask animal head sporran. If anyone has one
laying around please loan it to me for the show.

I can't be there this year because my wife is due October 10th for the
birth of our second child. I think it's a good excuse to pass on Expo...

Going to check them out now, wish I could make it Lloyd. Feel honored
that I get to visit you whenever I want and/or you're open. :-)

Bring her along, if she goes into labor, take her to the Gottlieb Memorial Hospital in Melrose Park. Wouldn't that be something for a pinhead to tell everyone where his kid was born?
For me, Bally, Pennsylvania was too far to chance for my kid's birthplace.

Thanks Lloyd, getting them now, I did enjoy looking back through the
posts and reading about the SS Billiards parties from 37th on!

[Lloyd Olson]

Well if you liked the pictures, then for sure you have to hit the party.

Noon to midnight or later. Pop, hot dogs, pizza, ribs, famous people, not
famous people.

It is going to be a heck of a wing ding.

I'll be there this year for sure, I have a question, what's the last
pinball game you've played for pure fun?

[Lloyd Olson]

Harbor Lites. July 1961. LTG :)

Wow, what would it take for you to enjoy playing a pinball game again?

[Lloyd Olson]

For it to be a hobby and not an industry.

Last time I checked the mailman doesn't come home from work and go for a
walk.

My idea of what I'd like to do right now is get up to Cloquet and see the
D&NE RR steam engine #28 getting a cosmetic overhaul in her old home before
returning to the Duluth museum.

Well said, but as it relates to pure enjoyment...

[Matt Rasmussen]

Listening to the Expo .mp3's there are a lot of similar stories. What's
one story you might have not told elsewhere. Or perhaps that's saved
for this year?! :-)

Not that my two questions were that original, but haven't heard them so
far. :-)

[Lloyd Olson]

To sit in #28's cab again, in her engine house. Which I did often in the
early 1970's.

Is pure enjoyment. To me.

Once the engine is back at the museum it isn't the same.

I'm not sure. I have a lot of stories. Not sure which ones have been told
before, or can be told.

I don't really think about any in particular for the show. They are more
where the audience takes things and what I end up thinking of at the time.

While you are there, look for me and sell me some pin. Come on Dave,
sell me a pin already.

Frodd,

I would be happy to sell my little parrot a pin at Expo. I'll
have an Eight Ball for sale and it should be ready before then. Or
better yet, a trade? What have you got to trade Frodd? Come on
Frodd, trade me a pin!

Come on Dave, love is eternal. Please sell me your pinball machine and
lets turn this into a trist with some more love involved. Parenting and
parrots aside, lets do this together and make it happen. Love eternal.
Trade me a pin man, lets sell and trade all day long.

The last expo I attended was in 1999. I toured the Williams pinball
factory and a few days later it shut down. StarWars 1 was in production
and now when I watch my Tilt Video I see myself sitting in the expo room
hearing George Gomez speak on the creation of Pinball 2000. I also hear
my voice on the video when I asked him a question about P2K. I would
love to go back to expo again sometime it is awsome. I am thinking of
going to the CA expo in two weeks. Does anyone here have any thoughts on
that show. I like the newer DMD games and was wondering if the Ca. show
is mainley EM.

As stated, its a love-in for pinball folks, fat guys and few wives of
which are usually the same in description and denouement as the nigthts
grow long. The ones that don't are first and last timers. Reminisce
all you like and have ties, reality is every show is literally the same
with the same players, same plots, and actually pretty much the same
games being displayed as 'new.' Sad, but pinball as we know it is 2-3
decades dead and dying a very very very slow death due to of course
dedicated and loving life time addicts. Enjoy the show in Cali, its
pretty much the same flavor with more youth and less jaded folks
involved, taking them longer to figure it out in the end.

[MrBally]

Now that is a proper and quality response!

Frodd,

I don't mind you fantasizing about me at all. I've already said
yes to trading with you, so let's get this deal done! I have offered
up an Eight Ball (sorry to get all SS on you Frodd). I'm still
waiting to hear what you have offered in return besides eternal
love. I mean your eternal love sounds great, but I can't play love,
so it really needs to be a pinball machine. Come on Frodd, trade me a
pin!

Come on Dave, trade me a pin already, and sell me one as well.
I'll take two of what you got for just one of what I got.
Your quality, status and demands are only slighted by my desire to have
you as a pal and friend for life. Please come close to me, come closer,
be my pal and sell and trade me a pin already. My eternal love is, well

Frodd,

I'm not sure you understand how this works. We are already
linked for eternity. And the consummation of our bond will be a sale,
or a trade of a pinball machine. I have shown you mine, but you seem
reluctant to reciprocate. So if you don't mind whipping it out and
showing me what you are bringing to this trade. Come on Frodd, trade
me your eternal love, AND a pin!

Pinball Dave

[Frank Furhter]

Come on Dave, sell me a pin already, trade and sale 2 for 1. List your
pins 'again' and I'll pick two and you get one. Its simple, we'll meet
up at Expo and you'll take it like a champ and smile.

[gaspumprob]

Cool thanks Frank,
You are always helpful . Sounds you have been around . Maybe I will
stay home instead. Gas is at 4.18 a gallon here, and hotels in that
area are about 200.00 a night and up and if I do the math I might be
able to buy a B list game instead of attending with the money. What do
you think I should do?????

Frodd,

Wonderful advice. It's the choices we make that make us who we
are. Daddy's pet parrot should be proud of himself today. Alas, the
consequence of this confluence is yet unrealized. Come on Frodd, sell

[Frank Furhter]

PD, indeed wonderful advice to sell me a pin, see me at Flexblow the
worlds most inbred meeting of pinball contortionists and we'll do the
deal of two of your top pinball games for one of mine. Come on Dave,
trade me your pins!
