Remember That Feeling?

[Kaintgetrite]

In early July I was looking for the perfect gift for my son. I thought for days when I had an epiphany. Why not get him what made you the happiest? I thought of my favorite gifts and one stood out most. It was my Electric football game Steelers vs Cowboys in the 70's. This would be perfect. It was off to EBay. I found a couple of boards and won two. I Won some figures and the gift was complete. When his birthday came the boards were not here but I had the men. I did research and found you guys at MFCA and joined. I was amazed at what I saw being done with one of my favorite "TOYS". I saw figures, fields, stadiums etc... I got that original rush I had when I first saw my first field in the JC Pennys Christmas catalog.

Since that moment I have ordered figures, Hand Painted teams, researched boards, and have yet to play a real down. I have however had the pleasure of watching my son play play after play on a board with no motor and just the figures he can hold in his hands. This past sunday I took a two hour drive with all the extra cash I had (not much). The purpose was to get a field and meet a total stranger who only shared and expressed a love for the same hobby as me. My son, Uncle, and I left my urban oasis, and headed to the countriest part of Spartanburg S.C. We had one the best experiences. I sat with Joel P for 5 hours learned about the hobby and walked away with a great feelin. I left with tools for the game, my son had "a red team", and we both had the hope of seeing the little men come alive. We were happy. Remember that feeling?

Thanx again Joel

Yes I had a blast meeting you coach Kelly, your son and uncle. I saw that enthusiasm and excitement when we brought your athletes to life. Im glad I was able to show you how to do it and help in any way possible.
This is what was done to me here with all the guys in my area and I want to be able to give back in return. Im just here to help out and be of assistance to help promote and get the word out that this is FUN and not all about winning or competition. I know Im not even close to being a great player but I enjoy seeing and helping others get better in this hobby.
I know I missed the heck out of not going to Canton this past weekend. So I at least got the opportunity to meet and hang out with you fellas and hopefully get another coach going in the right direction. I also got to spend time with other coaches on saturday and all day monday.. I got a full weekend of electric football and worked on so many projects. Only bad thing is I got to get ready for the DSMFL and Im busy helping everyone elses teams. . Seriously though I wouldnt do it if I didnt enjoy every minute of it and hanging out with such wonderful guys.
Thanks for all the kind words but I am just wanting everyone to enjoy this great hobby as much as I do.
