YES!
I'll be substituting a Bally Black Pyramid for the Super Straight Acrylic Pinball Project. It is just not ready. 
Looking forward to the show and will be there mid afternoon Thursday ready to help others load in once I set my two up.

maybe we can hook up the Tron LE audio output to the main event speaker system

Have you seen the remix thread? Really changes up the audio, more Daft Punk remix but less purist.

yeah, i haven't installed yet. i'll definitely be listening to yours in a couple of days, and probably making the update to mine very shortly after
let's connect there. i'll get in around noon on Friday.
always fun to meet someone else from Rosenberg + Tron LE owner too.
ps. here's a Tron Prequel pin I'm considering making:

vote if you're interested in it (or not). i'm trying to see if there's enough demand to build it.
Sad news for the expo.
Here is an email from the Expo organizer about Dutch pinball.
hey guys,
I just got a call from Barry at Dutch pinball, due to unseen circumstances they cannot make it to the show this year....
This is a huge disappoint for me and I know too a lot of you guys.
They promise they will be back to Houston Next year.
Dutch pinball will be sending a shipment of giveaways before the weekend to give out at the show!
Sorry for the bad news, but we plan on having a SUPER time anyway!
Thanks again for your support!
Cheers!
Keith
I still have blank Pinside badges PracticalSteve made that didn't get claimed at TPF last year. If you want one just look me up. (Middle aged, pot bellied, gray haired, pinball t-shirt wearing dude.)

i'll take one.
i'm the guy with the perma-grin on the whole time i'm there playing.
Likely anyone could find me buried in any given pinball repair this weekend.
Just ask for Brian, especially if you are looking for a part to repair something.
Quoted from jazc4:Still going to have a great time, but really bummed not getting to see TBL in person before commiting.
Yeah, I'm bummed about it too. Multimorhic should have the Lexi light speed theme machine there. Looking forward to seeing the progress on that game.

it's cool !
Quoted from PinballManiac40:12 hours until load-in starts. Are you ready, Erich????
As ready as I'll ever be. Since we aren't getting the southside truck, Brolyn and I are sharing his trailer which means I'm only bringing about 6 or 7 games. I just finished Bride of Pinbot so it will be there. I'll fit however many I can in the trailer. We should be there by 1:00.
I'm going to try and get my game there tomorrow around 7 or 8. Hope to see some of you guys then. Can't wait!

What the ??? Oh man. That truck pickup would have rocked for you'll down south.

Hey G, I probably will be poking around in a machine still at that time.

With Dutch Pinball out, this is Gerry's chance to make a big impression, go Multimorphic!
By the way, there is a nice interview with Gerry (and Andrew Heighway) on the latest Broken Token podcast which came out today.
Quoted from Erik:I'm thinking you're going to need to be a little more specific on that one!
Sorry, did I forget balding and pasty white? OK, fine. Just for today I will be wearing a non-pin t-shirt that you can't miss at 500 yards...
Anyone willing to help me out by looking for a few parts for me while at the show??? The parts I am looking for can be found at: https://pinside.com/pinball/forum/topic/the-em-seeking-parts-thread/page/10#post-2023504
I know this is a long shot but!!! If willing to look let me know and I will PM you with my number so you can call me if you find the part(s). I obviously will pay to ship and compensate for your time!
Quoted from creyes82:You better start loading that big bad truck of yours Brian.
My bus will be here soon to load up.
Don't drop that Tron, Chris.
meSz, I just may know someone that has a similar machine.
I'll check with him to see if he has any parts.

i've heard tales of pinball machines accepting drinks from strangers at these kinda shows and waking up the next morning in a hotel bathtub full of ice, internal parts missing, and a note & phone that says, call the pin dr, we've removed your ____ parts.
