Sunday August 30th, 2009 with cash prizes
($100 to $500 typically, depending on the
number of entries) and trophies. FREE entry and
play for those that are recently unemployed or
that are current or retired from Military service.
Come down and play some pinball, and maybe
win some money (but definitely have some fun!)
There's even a kid's tournament.
The tournament is played on fully restored
(rebuilt everything, touched up and clearcoated
playfields) 1970s Gottlieb multi-player EM pinballs.
There will be some sub-tournaments too, like
on the 16 foot ball bowler.
Also we will be BBQ'ing, and Mick is bring
his famous pulled pork for pulled pork manwiches.
Thanks!

I hear Homer likes pulled pork. we have a
manwich for him at the tourney. but no
cigars allowed!
This is a copy of my post from Yahoo EM Pinballs group:
"All,
I think it's important to recognize when people do good things and as
a current member of the military I just want to say it means alot to
us when people do things like you're doing. I consider it a privelege
to be able to serve my country and ultimately all of you, so no thanks
are really necessary. However, when someone says thanks it really
means alot to all of us - more than you'll ever know. You can say
thanks verbally, or by free admission, or by offering advertised
military discounts. You can pay for someones meal if you see them in a
restaurant in uniform. The ones that have touched me the most are the
drawings that schoolkids have sent to us in the field. (Have tears in
my my just typing this) You can also send care packages and a quick
web search will yield a handful of great organizations to do that.
There are also lots of VA hospitals around with lots of lonely old
vets who would love a visitor.
This last Sunday we stopped at Taco Bell for lunch and this little
girl around 10 years old was there with her dad. She kept staring at
us and eventually she got up and walked over to our table and said,
"Thanks for protecting me and hugged each one of us." I'm here to tell
you that none of us could say much in return because of the lumps in
our throats and it was very quiet going back to the base. I'll never
forget that little girl.
There are many other ways to show support but I just wanted to thank
you guys for this nice touch. Little things do mean alot and don't
ever let anyone convince you otherwise."

I do like pulled pork followed by a good cigar.
