[FSPA] Pinball room at CarPool booked again this Thursday

[Deb Kapke]

It's that busy on Thursdays. Plus some tractor trailer was taking up about 10 spots. We would have overflowed those too though. 

They started towing cars. Not sure which location instigated the towing.

Folks should probably avoid parking at the Marriott Residence Inn. Hotels usually keep track of plate numbers.

Other restaurants are probably safer. 

And carpool to CarPool when possible!

Also there's two machines that aren't in that room so at tourney/challenge could be run on them independently.  Options galore.

I think bringing CarPool significantly more business on Tuesdays would give us more leverage with them, rather than being another drop in their already-overflowing Thursday bucket.  (I also prefer a half empty bar to a full one, but i'm sure there are others who feel the opposite).  -Dan R.

That would mean we wouldn't have to compete for space with the FXA sports league AND I could put in a permanent reservation for the pinball room.  We could still do pinball stuff on Thursdays such as knockout tournaments and such.
