Also, I do hope it does not return to KY anytime soon

I love it! And I hope I never win it.

I am starting to work on issues/prep for this year's match.

I do not see anyone volunteering to provide a 2nd place trophy. This is not a plea for that, I just want to be sure no one has volunteered and I have forgotten that.

I am proceeding as being the supplier of all trophies this year.

tac-40 · July 11, 2018, 14:34

The Shlomo second plaque will be present for this year's match. Everybody has been busy with the upcoming matches, didn't see the need to announce its return. My bad.

hagar · July 11, 2018, 14:42

I will donate one of the Fal beer mugs sold here on the Files a while ago as a prize. Hopefully it will make it intact to the match..

I donated one of those for the MO Eclipse shoot last summer. It make it to the match fine, but then fell through the bottom of a gift bag as I got it out of the truck

**brunop** · July 11, 2018, 17:29

I can't wait for this match.

The original Stimpy FAL match is the greatest.

Pusha · July 11, 2018, 21:18

I'm in. Just waiting for a sign up.

Does this mean you are bringing a 2nd place trophy?

tac-40 · July 12, 2018, 21:14

Yes. I will be bringing the 2018 shlomo second award.

Obviously the date will be changed.

Which hotel and which restaurant are we to gather within for the match?

Ruby Tuesday is about a 100 yard walk to the south of the hotel.

I think that hotel got some bad ratings last year from FAL match shooters.

While not the most well kept hotel it was adequate for sleeping.

The 100 yard walk to Ruby Tuesday is the appeal, certainly not the grandiose accommodations

If there is a better option within walking distance of a decent watering hole, I suspect there would be very little argument in relocating the base of operations

tac-40 · July 21, 2018, 16:32

There is a Quality Inn and Suites across the highway from the Ruby Tuesdays. Relative new hotel and pretty good rooms. I stayed there for Stimpy's Run n Gun earlier this year. Definitely not walking distance though 6-8 lanes of high speed Georgia drivers to negotiate. And the traffic lights aren't set up for pedestrians. But it is close (short drive) to every thing.

Surely every single one of us played Frogger as a kid. We are well trained for this challenge!

I was already of drinking age when Pong, Frogger, and Pac Man came out. I had other interests instead of dropping quarters into a machine. Unless one of my interests said she want to play.

Please, if you book a hotel on the east side of GA400, stay there.

Longhorn will take your money and serve you well enough as a bar. Same distance as the other hotel and Ruby Tuesday's.

But please do not try to cross GA400.

I love all of you too much to pass the place you died being stupid every day I come home.
