Day 13

Mandi is in her 298th hour and going strong!! We just had a bagpipe player in here for St. Paddy’s Day!! The aura about this marathon is so great and so positive…I know that everyone who’s been here is feeling the same thing. We are privileged to be able to be a part of this….

There will be an early 55th birthday party for the Queen of PIns this Sunday, at 12:00 Noon, and you are all invited!! We are fortunate to have chicken and beef BBQ provided, so everyone should bring your appetites and a side dish or dessert to share. (Remember, no alcohol is allowed at a Guiness World Record site, so go light if bringing drinks).

I know Mandi would love to see every one of you!! Let’s make this a great celebration for a great person! See you there!!

Day 9

Greetings from Mandi’s Pinball Marathon where the Queen of Pins is alive and well and wildly flipping her balls!! As I write this, Freebo is playing guitar with Harold Payne, lots of friends have stopped by and Mandi’s smile is as big as the Texas moon!!

The LA Chapter of Just Plain Folks met at Mandi’s with special guest, Brian Austin Whitney, founder of the organization. We hope to have photos of this up here soon.

Mandi’s already surpassed her original record of 140 hours…we are now at hour 203 and going after her current 505 record with a lot of help from her friends. The love and compassion you all have shown her is phenomenal, and is captured in the documentary filmaker Renee De Palma is producing.

Feel free to stop by and join the party anytime…24 hours a day…Mandi is always up!! So if you can’t sleep, and insomnia has you restless, come on by, or call…Mandi would love to hear from you!! And we still need crew members to help the last two weeks of the marathon.
