It's official. I won't be going to MGC. PAX East FTW!

Damnit! Maybe next year then...

Are we sure kidnapping is a crime?

...I've kidnapped someone before... But they were cool with it once they realized who my group was ... We could probably pull a stunt like that.

Chris Kraft is going to bring his 3D printer as well. I should have more info on that after this weekend.

I will be giving a lecture/speech thing this year, unlike last year. It will be in the Benheck area.

This year we should arrange more visitor table space, so we can have more stuff laid out for people to look at.

Bill Paxton Pinball continues to progress, here's what's left to do:

1) Drain kicker solenoid needs to be swapped out. (got plenty don't worry)
2) Data interference on Aliens LED counters.
3) Some random lockups with the sound clip player. Probably corrupt WAV files I need to identify / fix.
4) Back wall construction, contains a mechanically animated "periscope game" (U-571) and the singing Fish Head.
5) Apron (thing that covers up the ball loaders and has the rules on it). Made one, it has some issues, will probably re-do it.
6) Mounting for the 1959 Corvette model.
7) Revision FOUR of the Titanic entry lane. This time for sure!
Diffusion of the back box lighting. It's actually TOO bright and reflects too much on the playfield glass.
9) A few added posts on the board and addressing some ball stick locations.
10) Adding as much lighting FX and gameplay modes / combos as I can until I run out of RAM.

FYI, everyone interested in the suite must PM me as mentioned in the suite thread. I'm not going to assume that you're going from occasional talk on AIM or anything, I need a committed PM!

After a few things that have come up, it's looking highly unlikely that I'll make it to MGC this year. Should be coming home from a short trip to Japan around the 27th, could try to come home a few days earlier to catch a ride to MGC, but not sure about that

[Rekarp]

Well I have my airplane ticket already paid for. Was going to drive but I don't feel like wasting 2 days driving both ways.

[Metallica Man X]

What? But that's half the fun! :lol

For those planning on being in the suite, make sure you are on the guest list in the suite thread. If you are not in time, I cannot guarantee that there will be room for you when needed.

How long do we have to decide?

Like I said on the other thread, 2/10/10

[Squintus]

Got my tickets in the mail today. This is going to be awesome!

[eagle5953]

Mine came yesterday. I'm absolutely stoked - have been for some time.

I'm working on trying to get the funds together. But so far it looks like I'm still going.

Got like $110 of $200 I need to make to be able to go. My dad is going to pay for the trip up there and back for us. And pay for our Hotel room. So I don't have to worry about that.
