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.

Yeah I've been to pinball petes before. They have a good selection of some classic games as well as some great pinball machines for you pinheads out there

Re: Michigan Racketboy Member Meet-up! Choose your Destiny!
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!

Need FreeMCboot? I'll install it on your PS2 Memory Card for free if you cover postage both ways.
Consoles: I have too much stuff
Arcade: No seriously, I have too much stuff. Someone grab a shovel and dig me out of my basement.

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.
Re: Michigan Racketboy Member Meet-up! Choose your Destiny!
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.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.
Re: Michigan Racketboy Member Meet-up! Choose your Destiny!
They have some fighters -- including SF2 and a good number of shmups near the front as well. Lots of House of the Dead too.thekid wrote: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.Either one works for me.
