Crafty's 3rd Annual - Pinball and Arcade Meet / Open House BACK ON THIS SATURDAY

[Crafty]

After the last 2 years epic events, and the promise that I would do it again

 

See here for photographic evidence of previous Crafty's First Meet - Adelaide 21st April 2018 - Aussie Arcade

 

and

When- Saturday, 29th of August, 2020 from 5pm till you've had enough!

 

Where- Para Hills West, Adelaide, South Australia

 

It is later in the year than the previous 2 event's due to Covid etc, but with SA currently in the clear and hopefully staying that way. It's time to play pinball again. It's also 2 weeks before the SA Masters so a great chance to practice :)

 

Food & Drink - Dinner will be a simple oven snacks and Soft drink will be supplied. Please bring your own alcohol & what ever floats your boat. (Later if we get hungry again pizza can be sorted).

I will again have the Slushie Machine cranked with Bacardi & Cola, and won't make the mistake of only doing a half size. The full 12 L this time.

 

I have some availability to host a few interstaters in comfort (Hopefully some will come) and there is a reasonable sized lawn out the back for a tent or two, or swags.

[Timbo]

Should be good for it. :)

[Gemini2544]

I'd have to shoot my way through the S.A boarder to get there. :unsure

[Cursed]

I'd be happy to come across and share some of the covic, sorry covid love...:lol

 

I am sure it will still be a decent meet even without us awesome Victorians there.:cool:

[kimbleseven]

*9 pinballs to play

[Crafty]

Update, there will now be an additional EM to play. Gottlieb's Ship Ahoy :)

[Gemini2544]

I know of a working Spiderman that could have made 10 pins to play. :p Some South Australian left it in my shed. :lol

[onetaste]

I’m in, amazing lineup, can’t keep up with some of those legendary drinkers tho

[Crafty]

Be good to catch up Greg :)

[kimbleseven]

Just wanted to mention: for those who can't make it to Craftys meet, we will be streaming the meet via twitch.tv with 3 Logitech cameras and possibly a mobile phone.

So you interstate peeps will be able to watch gameplay / the meet from 3 or 4 cameras. Maybe set up a few on one machine for the night and another long shot.

[Jack the Flipper]

Sounds brilliant Crafty- I’m free that night. Lock me in

And Vin is trying to move a shift to be able to make it too

 

 

[mcaussie]

I'm keen for a catch up mate :)

[kimbleseven]

Crafty can you do an upload test when you get a chance. Wanna see if it is good enough for streaming the meet. Pretty sure you can use your phone and Google to do it.

Hi Guys, sorry to have to do this but apparently the uncontrolled spread in Victoria is changing how we do things here in SA.

As per below events in private residences have been restricted back to 10 people. Pretty doubtful that it will go ahead. I will keep everyone posted..

[kimbleseven]

Who is your best 9 friends. Cut the list down to your favourite 8 people and me :)

Defeat's the open house principal, but I do admire your thinking.

We will pick another date for you to come over and play Jurassic Park again :)

[Gemini2544]

This is China's first plans to dominate the planet. This stage is to stop all pinball meets & competitions. Bastards! :o

It’s actually spreading thru SA, 5 clusters as of today, all caused by South Australians who came back from Victoria because they didn’t like the lockdown there. And they didn’t isolate here, fuckers.

I know who some of the ****ers are! :lol
