Our first poll results held that Saturday March 23rd received the most votes for the event; is most everyone okay with starting towards the early evening? If so, what times would be best for you?

I looked into the possibility of renting out Pinball Pete's: It's $500 an hour on Saturdays with a two hour minimum. Considering the ten or so members that are able to come aren't going to shell out $50 on arcade machines (It's possible, but unlikely), we're better off going without the rental.

We have a few unresolved items:

We have two venues to consider:
- Marvelous Marvin's Mechanical Museum - Farmington Hills
- Pinball Pete's - Ann Arbor

What time would work best for you, Racketboy community?

Would you like to dine together?

I'm for Pinball Pete's in Ann Arbor and just eating at a nearby place (there are many)
Mid afternoon / early evening works for me.

This is the first I've seen of this thread. I might be able to join you in the evening, probably 6 at the earliest. I'm not 100% sure what that weekend looks like for me yet though. I'm closer to Farmington Hills than Ann Arbor, but I could potentially do either.

Marvins is awesome, but a complete lack of fighters/shmups. I'd be all for a pinball petes run in ann arbor. I'm actually DJing in ypsilanti that night, so I might even be able to make the trip on short notice!

Either one works for me. I haven't been to Pinball Pete's in a while, so I'm not sure what their current line up looks like.

It's not bad. most of the classics are shoved to the back though. also at one point they ended up with two MSH cabs.

They have some fighters -- including SF2 and a good number of shmups near the front as well. Lots of House of the Dead too.
