Hoping to get there Friday pm. Still sore after missing out on the Slam, so made sure this one is booked in nice and early. Family commitments will have to take second place this time around
Can't wait already

You can hope ....but unlikely ... I don't think Pat works the circuit much these days

Would be awesome but, alas, hugely unlikely.

Hope you get things sorted out mate, would be great to see you there
Yay. I was right about the special guest. Do I win a prize?
ya know - if it was STEVE Ritchie i would be more tempted. However Mark..... It's probably the first persona that i havent really been fussed about seeing

Mine's a cider.

Andy's announcement of Mark speaks of his most obvious machines, but if memory serves me right, didn't he move from Williams to Capcom and basically built the pinball division? Whilst the myth of the Capcom pins (i.e. Kingpin, BBB) might be more famous than the reality, I think it was quite an achievement. Perhaps worth listening to his interview on Topcast again, I recall enjoying it first time round.
Shame I didn't know about it a couple of days earlier, I could have chatted to Steve Ritchie about it whilst in Germany at the Neu-Ulm pinball festival, instead of discussing the swan that we watched on the river making a very hard job of taking off - and failing - and playing on the AC/DC LTBR that the boys from PinCity down the road from me unboxed with Steve

Steve Richie was cheating as he did not understand the rules and tried to drop the counters in the cup from above.
