[FSPA] 1st time at Pinburgh

[The Bob]

I'm always polite so I left that off. :>

Seriously though I always make sure I thank everybody that works
at/volunteers for PAPA because they put in a TON of work to pull this thing
off.  I'm still not sure how they do it but it does get pulled off.  Just
picture in your mind having to level a few hundred machines.  How about
just cleaning the playfield glass?  Think about how much work it is just to
plug everything in!  Hug a tech while you're there too.

As far as the mat goes, that's a great idea but unless everyone in your
group likes it you'll be putting it down, playing your ball, picking it up,
schlepping it around all day...  Personally I'd rather be gellin'.

I have a pretty hardy immune system so I view a big event like this as an
early flu shot. :) That said I 2nd Ken's suggestion about hand gel.  Find
the travel ones that have the little rubber band thing and just fasten it
to your body.
