The Tale of the Five Hundred Pinball Machines

[LaughingOtter]

The Dos Flamingos Road Trip begins tomorrow!

We're off to visit Reno (NV), Las Vegas (NV), Scottsdale (AZ), the Grand Canyon (AZ), Surprise (AZ), Los Angeles (CA), the 35th Annual Rocky Horror Convention in LA, the Winchester Mystery House (CA), San Francisco (CA), San Rafael (CA), Portland (OR),  Tacoma (WA), and back home to Seattle (WA).

Oh, yeah, the pinball spots we're visiting will be The Las Vegas Pinball Museum (155), Castles and Coasters in Scottsdale (30), Pins & Needles in LA (, Family Amusement Corporation in LA (12), the Pacific Pinball Expo (250), Ground Kontrol in Portland (25), Slabtown in Portland (10), Dorky's in Tacoma (6), Hell's Kitchen in Tacoma (5), and probably say hello to the gang at Shorty's (17) before we get home. That should be enough pinball for a while. A week, tops.

Many crazy signs will be randomly posted! Minds will be blown! Lotsa scantily-clad young people! Lacquered frog bands! Weird towns named after amphibians! Stukas Over Disneyland! Okay, I can dream about that last one though...

We're also bringing a lot of homebrew with us. There will be lots of pictures of people playing pinball and enjoying our beer. And other goodies...

I suppose the fact that this road trip will be about 2500 miles is something...
