	There's going to be a pinball tournament at Marvin's MArvelous 
Mechanical Museam in Bloomfield Hills, Michigan.  It's located in the 
back of a minimall on Orchard Lake road between 13 and 14 mile.

	It's five dollars to enter.  Everyone will play each of the 
machines once and all the scores will be added up.  Cash will be awarded 
to the top three people.  

	Marvin's machines are:  Shaq Attack, Flintstones, TAF Gold, Star 
Trek TNG, Roadshow, Stargate, Twilight Zone and Indiana Jones.  (I may be 
missing 1 or 2, as a matter of fact I'm almost positive I am...  he at 
least has those ones though)

	I don't remember the exact date of the tournament, it's mid 
April, somewhere between the 11th and the 19th.  The flyers said that 
there is a "limited amount of spaces available," so if you really want to 
be in it you should go down there soon and sign up just to make sure.

	See you there!

If anybody is considering going to this, I would advise against it.  Unless they
have changed how it is run, it is terrible.  They hold these things often, and
they get worse every time.  The games are in bad shape, and the people running
it don't know what they're doing.  The last one I was at, I was playing in the
finals when their Twilight Zone kicked the ball out of the slot machine straight
down the middle at the beginning of all 3 of my balls.  The guy running the 
thing laughed and remarked how I didn't play very well.

Annoying.
