rushedAfter we check out this morning and make a quick pass through Sea-Pac to see if our call signs came up on the hourly door-prize drawings, we are heading for Long Beach, Washington, where there is a Pinball Palace full of lovingly-maintained pinball machines. This is sufficient for us to go a hundred miles out of our way driving back to Mehama in order to play them.
Incidentally, one of the things they do at Sea-Pac that would cause SF conrunners to get the vapors is their membership badges. The "badge" here is a piece of cardstock with the current year logo on it. As I mentioned, you write your name (and call sign if applicable). The card slip into a plastic pin-back holder. They use the same holders every year. Members are encouraged to drop their holders into a returns box as they leave, so they can be used again next year. I can hear the cries of "security breech" even now.
Mind you, admission to Sea-Pac is only $10.
