PBRev 2014 Summer Meet-n-Greet - POSTPONED!

[REVOLUTION]

*** NOW POSTPONED! ***


It seems like everyone is getting to know each other around here and that's awesome. Exactly the reason this board exists in the first place.

I'd like to take it one step further and propose we do a meet and greet.. a great way to break the ice and put some names to faces.

If anyone is willing to offer their play room / back yard / BBQ for such an event, it would be super appreciated. I'd offer myself, but my game room is nowhere near being finished and I only have 3 pins. :lol:

That said, the host wouldn't be put out any pocket money at all. PBRev will cover all expenses (burgers, hotdogs, propane, etc.)

Let's put our heads together and come up with something.

Meegis has already offered up some cool T-shirts as prizes, maybe we can organize a little tournament at the same time just for fun.

Re: PBRev 2014 Summertime Meet-n-Greet

Id be on board depending on date.

I would offer up my backyard/bbq but only have 1 pin at the moment, so it is lacking.... (unless there is a serious tournament)

Might have another pin by the date (on the hunt).

This might sound crazy... but if nobody wants the burden of hosting, it might be cool to book a covered pavilion at High Park. Not sure if they have power but, if they do, maybe people could volunteer to bring a pin or two. The pavilions have concrete floors and good coverage in case of bad weather.

We could do a BBQ picnic and have a few games to play. Parking is nearby so moving pins in and out wouldn't bee too hard. Alcohol would be an issue... but I'd survive. Anyway, just spit balling.

I already have a great name for the event. "Pinball In the Park" (I want copyright on that!)

We could certainly tie in a swap meet and part sales as well.

I think it would be awesome!

I'll host.

2 acres of space, bonfire pit, 30 some odd games setup and no kids :mrgreen:

Hellz ya!
But please, the more notice you can give before the date the better. It can be difficult for me to book days off, especially on Sundays. I would super-hate to miss that.

I'll host.

For anyone who hasn't been to Adam's, it's totally worth the drive.

I work Sundays as well, but am usually off by 1:30 or 2:00pm. My only days off are Saturdays, and those are often the most busy days I have :FP:

Adam, sounds good! Pick a day and let's make it happen

Re: PBRev 2014 Summertime Meet-n-Greet

Couldn't figure out how to make a poll, so these are the dates I've got available.

Weekend of July 5/6 - short notice so not idea I'm sure
Sunday July 20th
Weekend of Aug 2/3
Aug 9/10
Aug 23/24
Aug 30/31

We can do a late afternoon evening type thing, get a bonfire going in the backyard, and if necessary I've got lots of room so if people need a place to stay we can figure something out, or bring a tent and use the backyard or something.

Re: PBRev 2014 Summertime Meet-n-Greet

Aug 9 or 10 works for me. There's already a bunch of stuff booked for July.

 

[tim.sanderson]

Re: PBRev 2014 Summertime Meet-n-Greet

I can work with most of those dates, but the August ones are likely best for me.

 

[REVOLUTION]

Re: PBRev 2014 Summertime Meet-n-Greet

poll added for dates

 

[tim.sanderson]

Re: PBRev 2014 Summertime Meet-n-Greet

But what if more than one date is good for some people?

 

[REVOLUTION]

Re: PBRev 2014 Summertime Meet-n-Greet

... why you gotta be like that, Tim?

Fixed! Vote away.

 

[meegis]

Re: PBRev 2014 Summertime Meet-n-Greet

Well, if you want the spotlight off Tim, I can ask the other question...


What if multiple dates are good, but some of the others are "absolutely not"

Don't vote for dates that won't work for you

I dunno, Adam wanted the poll. Ask him! :lol:

Re: PBRev 2014 Summertime Meet-n-Greet

Trying to accommodate as many people as possible, hoped the poll would give people a chance to pick a day and hopefully that works for everyone or almost everyone

 

[meegis]

Re: PBRev 2014 Summertime Meet-n-Greet

So far Aug 9/10 is leading the poll.

This is the date that does not work for me at all.

That being said, where can I drop the t-shirts? Even if I can't make it, a handful of shirts will definitely be there.

Re: PBRev 2014 Summertime Meet-n-Greet

Aug 9-10 is a beauty. The only weekend I have off in August!

Re: PBRev 2014 Summertime Meet-n-Greet

This is shaping up, I'm looking forward to it. Let's try and get the date firmed up so Adam and I can do some planning
