[FSPA] MAGfest pinball tourament is back - Jan 6 to 8, 2022

[Paul Liam McGlone]

This all sounds great David but I agree with your question.  What’s wrong with this picture.  I wish I had more than a few hours notice because I’m sure I’m already shut out from hotel.   I never saw a poll but I miss a lot of emails.
