Notable quotes

“We're going to be putting the pinball machines sporadically throughout the building... you can just grab a couple of friends and go up to a machine and nobody will be around you and enjoy yourself.”
Keith Campanelli
“Pinballs are like potato chips. You just can't have one.”
Keith Campanelli
“My horrible dream would be like throwing a big birthday party for myself and then ending up at Chuck E. Cheese with me and a hat and no one showing up.”
Keith Campanelli
“Restoration... it's therapy for me. I work in an office with 14 women and me. And when I leave here, I get to my shop and there's nobody there to bother me.”
Keith Campanelli
“I'm a self-described pinball hoarder... my friends are pin sitting right now because I really don't want to sell anything”
Josh (host)
“There's nothing worse than being at a show on a Saturday afternoon, and 75% of the games are either broken or gone, and you're just dragging your feet out of it.”
Keith Campanelli
