Posted: Mon Dec 12, 2005 4:49 pm Post subject: Where's Kerry??? |
|
|
It's been almost a month since we heard anything from Kerry.
Could it be:
1) He's lost interest and doesn't care anymore?
2) He's departed this world for the next?
3) He's fired/quit?
4) He's so damn busy with BBB he can't see straight enough to read a computer screen at the end of his 20 hour day?
Personally, I'm hoping 4! _________________ Mike

|

If you watch my second video clip, you'll see Kerry's Arm during the playfield pull-out. He was busy working on sample "Stage" playfields when I was there, but I would guess he's on the next phase now. Kerry! Pop in and say "Hi!".

Last week there was a post from Kerry on rgp, he seemed very optimistic about the project, and debunked any idea that his interest has diminished.

Kerry is extremely busy between the bbb and his businesses and his family, so if you don't hear from him know that he is still with the project and is kept quite busy by all of his commitments.

What . . . busy you say . . . running an amusement company right before Christmas . . . Surely you jest (and stop calling me shirley)
Between coaching 2 hockey teams, BBB, and my two businesses as well as volunteer work at the church doing camera, lighting and sound . . . well busy doesn't quite cover it . . .
My truck died this week so I'm at the office catching up this next day or two until my partner . . . er um truck is back
BBB proceeds forward. 10 sample playfields are almost done. Hopefully those 10 will be tested and complete on the bottom before Christmas.
Production is pretty much set up and running here for the bottoms. Starting the tops in Bloomington and maintaining Quality and testing up here in Chicago covers the next few weeks . . .
Pics should exist somewhere . . . I haven't been taking many as I'm too busy trying to find little odds and ends that for some reason ended up in the strangest place.
Be of good cheer . . . things are going well and a toast to all those waiting patiently. This will be the last Christmas you won't have a BBB to play . . .

I guess this is not going to happen? I thought I read somewhere (can't find it now) of some talk of February 2007 - anyone heard anything more? _________________ Vegemite Nick #123 |

Xmas was speculation about a year ago. supposedly Feb is what I've heard...but since there's such little manpower if one person takes off for Xmas or if there's any snag then It will be later.
we're all waiting too

I think 1st Quarter sounds right from what I saw. As for manpower, it's NOT as you say. Gene has people in various businesses that he cross-trains. There was a guy working on BBB in the morning and was working at Gene's Roller Rink when we went that night. I also saw him hiring people. In addition, assembly of the playfields is happening at a different company and I would suspect that they are staffed quite well. I don't think production stops if one guy doesn't show. I think progress is constant on every day (M-S). I'm thinking that Gene was considering Kingpin because he HAS all of this in place and it seems to be working.
This is 100% opinion so take it for what it's worth.

PS - I agree about snags, they have found that they have had less parts than were required because of changes on the plans that were never made. _________________ Pins and Vids #4 - A New Hoax DVD, Available NOW at www.pinsandvids.com for only $12.00 plus shipping. |
