I haven't been here in a looooong time

But Saturday I was playing pinball with my buddy Mike & he tells me about PinballJim from TX that lived in STL once. Says he might have a video of Lawlor @ an Expo back in the day.

I pop in here to see if PBJ was back & holy ---steaming pile of meadow muffin--- look what the cat dragged in.

No idea what went down with Jim while I was away but I hope it was epic

:-)

Anyway Horns suck

Mike was one of the few people I liked in St. Louis, he and I exchange an e-mail every few months.  Glad to hear he's still telling the tales. 

I imagine the Lawlor thing was that recording of him at Expo ranting about how collectors aren't the audience for pinball machines.  If I recall correctly, it was made without his permission, people threw a fit when it was posted online, it got taken down, and I put it right back out there.  (Anyone that expects privacy while giving a speech at a public event is a loon)  I think the current state of manufacturing has proven him wrong, but I also think Lawlor's a bitter old jackass that hasn't designed a new playfield in 25 years.
