St Pete Pinball Clubhouse
« on: August 08, 2014, 01:07:51 PM »
Would anyone be interested in helping me turn my mother in law suite into a dedicated pinball sanctuary? The space is located behind my house with separate parking/entrance. There is space for 6-8 games, includes a walk-in closet, A/C, electricity, bathroom. It would be great for our monthly TBPL meetups. I would/could provide 1-2 games, with space for the other members to store working games. You would be granted 7-days a week access, within reasonable hours. I mentioned the idea Dan (Getyourselfahotdog) and he said he would be game. The access/rental fee would be $50/100 a month. Odd idea, but I thought I would give it a try. If we could get around 8+ members, I could cover what I could get with a normal tenant rental. I'm open to ideas, suggestions, etc. What do you guys thing?

I like the idea, however, the person "contributing" a game should not be required to pay a monthly fee.

Tampa Hackerspace has games setup for members already :P

The person who fixes all the games shouldn't have to pay either :)

That is a possible variation. But I wouldn't want that many people to have access. If you want to loan you STLE, you can have unlimited VIP access.

Statistically the husband dies first and back when they were building these homes it was unlikely for an old woman to live independently so the 2/1 house was built with a 1/1 cottage for grams.
There's about a million of them in st pete.

The real question is why was it an in-law? These people couldn't get along well enough to consider each other real family not just people connected with a marriage license?? I call Aaron's dad "Dad" and we aren't even married.
