He's got good technique, but I hear he knows how to play pinball. So, I feel like I probably should have been here, but I didn't like my dad. Yep, that's me. You're probably wondering how I ended up in this situation. What's going on everybody? Just a quick video to let you know, as of right now, I'm recording this in advance obviously, but I want to let you know that right now, Pinball Olympics tickets are now on sale. they are available at pinball live i have a link in the video description down below if you would like to purchase those tickets then you better do it now because there's only a limited amount of those per se tickets and i want to also inform you guys that if you so wish and you get into the pinball olympics what you look forward to is a hella good time you get to play all these different types of games in a very obtuse manner if you are one of those that doesn't like to be distracted while you play pinball then this is not gonna be for you okay because every one of these games is some form of what the hell it's it's it challenges you to a whole new level of playing and i'm looking forward to seeing what other types of creations they're going to do to these different types of games. Along with your purchase, you get a shuttle ride from the Pinball Expo Hotel, the Renaissance, to this particular house for the Pinball Olympics and the shuttle back. Included also is all-you-can-drink alcoholic beverages. But, of course, you know, the gratuity is not included, so by all means tip your bartenders and waitresses and stuff like that. But also in my experience in the one time that I been they were heavy pourers meaning I ordered I forgot what it was at this point but it was majority of it 98 alcohol and the other 2 was soda for color So just give you a heads up on that. Very strong drinks. So by all means, make sure you tell them, like, you know, go a little easy on me kind of thing. And it wouldn't have been so bad. But then I decided to get on the treadmill to perform the running while you play pinball. That was a mistake. I will not be doing it this year because I would rather just be able to have fun and not be in pain and worry about throwing up for the remainder of my time there. Because they also will be having some sort of catering. I think last year it was fajitas, chicken, or beef of your choice and stuff like that. So something else to take note of. But, by all means, this is all about having a good time and a ridiculous competition. So, I highly encourage those of you out there that want something a little different while you're visiting the Pinball Expo, then by all means, check out the Pinball Olympics. Now, on to Expo, also to let you know, I am now fully booked and flights and all that kind of stuff to Pinball Expo. I will be there to, of course, play all the new games. I'm very excited about that. I'm also excited to meet and greet any of you out there that wish to meet and greet with me. I do not have a schedule yet when it comes to an actual meetup at the bar or whatever to have some drinks and meet everybody and stuff like that. That is yet to be determined. But if you would like your expo tickets also, I will put a link down below for that. and uh so that's pretty much it guys later
