Quoted from PinballManiac40:Oh and I need to challenge you on TS.
I rebuilt all the flippers on Sunday and I waxed the playfield and put new balls in it. It's playing like dynamite!

Quoted from PinballManiac40:zr11990, no one in the family coming along?
I'm an asshole, my family doesn't like me.
Quoted from jwo825:I have Friday off so I will be getting there at 9AM and will be there for a good portion of the day to assist others with unloading and/or setting up. I have a set of pinskates that I will allow people to use as well.
I'll be there sometime before noon so I can check out games and do any repairs needed at that time.
I will be in Houston around 3:30pm on Thursday +/-. I'll be bringing a trailer with 8 machines for the tournament area.
This will include the NIB Kiss Pro and NIB Game Of Thrones.
So I look forward to having an unloading party on Thursday afternoon followed by "tournament setting" testing to follow!

I only have two games to bring and I'm not sure if I will bring them both on Thursday night or bring the second one on Friday morning. It's going to depend on how late I get the first one there Thursday. I have to peel away sometime in the afternoon/evening for something but will be available to assist anyone while I'm there.
Quoted from Arcade:Marcus.
We will be leaving early Friday morning with the 2001.
Do your best to be here as early as you can. I'll be in the area around 9am (ish).
If you are a tad late, we'll survive.

Giving Iron Man a final check this evening and then packing him up for the show. He won't be in the tourney area this year so, everyone can enjoy it.
Woohoo!! 89 pinball machines listed. Hurricane was presold so it will not make it.
Add in at least one P3 pin to that list.

The tournament schedule links on the website from the show schedule page are broken.
One step forward... Bad bearings or caliper on one wheel. Repairs first thing tomorrow. We'll be late to the show. Hopefully by dinner time. Glad it showed itself now, not halfway there! 
PavBall and I land at 11:20. We have one client meeting that should last an hour or so then will head straight to the hotel. Woot! Woot!

See everyone Friday morning.

Tiger,
I've been meaning to try and meet you in person at various events (TPF, etc). I FULLY intend on meeting you at Houston Expo. I'll be there Thursday afternoon. See you soon!
You'll be the second Pinside moderator that I have met in person (Xerico is the first)

Excellent! Looking forward to it. PavBall bought me a shirt that says "TigerLaw", I'll be wearing that one on Friday most likely. Come say hi!
Quoted from TigerLaw:PavBall bought me a shirt that says "TigerLaw", I'll be wearing that one on Friday most likely.
Oh boy, this ought to liven up the greetings and discussion (read as ribbing). 
I ran across these shirts somewhere online and thought about getting them for you TigerLaw. Ha!
See you Fri late morning or whenever.

Quoted from PinballManiac40:Anyone have a free weekend pass they are not going to be using?
I'm bringing three machines and there are only two of us. Is that what you mean?
Quoted from Mk1Mod0:I'm bringing three machines and there are only two of us. Is that what you mean?
Yes. Would you mind if you get one of these fellow Pinsiders in with your extra pass?
He is a late poster who is getting his game on the list after the bring a game deal had ended.
He will appreciate it a bunch.
Pinball-is-great, looks like Mk1Mod0 is your new friend. Be nice to him and challenge him on his favorite game.

Using a work/client trip to expense the travel to a pinball show. Well played.
Quoted from Xerico:If anyone needs a pass, send me a PM.
I have at least 4 to share.
Marcus
I need 1 for my friend Dan.
PinballManiac40 and others.....come on guys...just pay the entry fee and support the show. Trying to cheat the system and get in free just hurts the expo and threatens it's future. If everyone did what you want to do there would be no Expo 2016!
Support the cause
Quoted from gsrogers:PinballManiac40 and others.....come on guys...just pay the entry fee and support the show.
Supporting with the 5 pins and 1 tabletop arcade game. Loading the machines in the truck now.
Also I and at least 2 others will be working on pins throughout the show.
How is that for support?
