Usually with the press, if they get your name right - that's half the battle.
This article was great in every way and presented our hobby and passion not as some quirky subculture that is presented for sacraficial ridicule, but as a positive endeavor. Great job on those who contributed.

+2 The reporter seemed to get all the details right and portrayed our small but growing hobby in a positive way. I'll have to print out a copy for Theran's scrapbook since he's in the background of one of the pics

I'm pretty sure you guys who tilt games often are probably listening to too much hardcore rap music.MikeS wrote:Pretty funny that the 3 seconds that they show me playing BBH that I happen to Tilt the game during the video portion of the story

Hey Tully >> wanted to post here cause I am not sure how often you check email. The morning news from MKE emailed today and they want to have you on the air someday this week to talk pinball. I am guessing they got my contact since it is on IFPA for reporting league results?
Let me know if you need anything, Have fun!

In due time... Right now just focus on making the circuit, kissing babies, and signing autographs.

My brother sent me a picture of the paper with this article this morning. He lives in Wausau and his neighbor knew he had two old pinball machines so he gave it to my brother to read. People are seeing this. Good news.

Been over a week and still getting calls at the Waun-A-Bowl about Pinball. Also my patrons telling me they saw the article or saw the news. I guess us Wisconsinites are now Ambassadors for the Pinball Hobby! Make sure TMZ is not following you.
