Danny,  there's a lot of.... Well badness in the world today. I see it in the court everyday. I've sentenced boys younger than you to the gas chamber.... didn't want to do it.... felt I owed it to them.

Enormous amounts of thanks to Paul who came out early to help me move machines on his birthday!. Eric for enduring my wife perfectionism while they tore down bad cats. Jeff and Randy for helping fix and find the numerous gremlins on my machines.  Art for his LED lessons on how to make Dracula's back box come out of its shell.  These guys truly stepped up and worked from 2 pm to 2 am getting my machines dialed in.  What a hardcore group of pinheads Julia and I are truly thankful for all you did to get ready for this event.  Plus they work for pizza!  Definitely have a long way to go to make it up to you guys.  Look forward to next week.  Stay tuned for parking directions and general notifications..

Hey Al,

I think I speak for all of us saying that it didn't really seem like work, was just fun hanging out and chatting and finding something to tinker with.  My favorite part was the eating of the pizza! :)  My second favorite part was witnessing the secret Bat-escape hatch.  I'm now looking at every ceiling in my house trying to figure out where to put a functioning Bat pole. I think I'm gonna need a bigger cave.

Ok so we're almost ready looks like we will have a good crowd. All but 3 of 21 machine are up and ready and with some luck from ups the others will be running soon. The bad news is parking may be a little tight at house. The good news is I live a couple doors down from a credit union that isn't open and the county records building. All of which will have lots of safe parking 300 ft from my house to the south. Please bring your beverage (adult or otherwise) of choice there will be some community beer and soda in the fridge. If you want to bring a appetizer type dish. I'm not sure the exact number but it looks to be in the 20-30 range. Look forward to seeing you guys. Fun starts at 3 pm tourney should start at 5 pm.

Hey Al
I just heard about this event from Hamster on the bash.
I'm rarely on any boards these days....
Is it ok if I came really late like 7pish,
straight from ComiCon Tampa.
How late will you guys be hanging out?
Would be cool to meet some of y'all,
already know a couple of you guys
and I was at the Asylum last weekend too!
cheers

Yep, thanks Al & Julia for graciously hosting the event. Everything came together well and it seems like everyone had a great time. Glad to meet some new people as well. Also thanks to Randy for bringing his ROM burner and spending 30+ minutes burning me some ROMs, that was greatly appreciated.
