Results were as he's stated above

I think we should ban Colin from participating at TPF... just sayin'. ;D

Okay, so how long until next year? Who has started a count down clock? Is it Tick tock or Tock tick?

I can't stand waiting that long to see all my friends. I enjoyed meeting you and TigerLaw.

I'll be at TPF and hope everyone can make it. Thinking about hosting a winter tournament in OKC maybe Jan. if you both ever get to Oklahoma.

Party party

What is this partying you speak of?

Also who has my sandal?

I don't know about your sandal, but I ended up with someone else's cellophane wrap.

Final numbers for the EBD. 386 games were played. 79 games were won by score, no game specials were awarded. The high score was beat 21 times. Number of minutes played read as only 2, so something obviously went wrong there. Kinda surprising, truthfully. I always considered EBD as a much more popular game than Space Invaders. And being as it was on 3 balls and SI was on 5 I figured EBD would have much more play on it. It was shut down early Saturday night and maybe that had a lot to do with it. See y'all at TPF!

A few of my favorite moments from the Expo. It was my first time attending, and I thought the overall vibe of the place was so pleasant!

1. Seeing mk1mod0's Acrylic Pinball machine for the first time ever. It was placed in the perfect spot on the floor, everyone's eyes lit up when they saw it.

It was so easy to get lost in the details...

2. My two favorite parents ever. EVER. Start them young!

3. Catching a glimpse of champion, Bob Matthews with boxing gloves on in the tournament room.

4. Getting excited every time another collector started setting up a new machine I really wanted to play.

5. Having an awesome retro-console distraction for all the kids from my generation and below, so that there was more free space at all the pins. (muahahah) ^_^

6. And last, but certainly not least, capturing a photo of a young boy watching a cylon play Berzerk.

Just wanted to add... that I love this Expo. I've been coming for the last 5 years and it's really got me back into the hobby; and dragged my wonderful wife into pinball. Just wanted to thank everyone for be cool all weekend long and thank JW for selling me your LAH.

If anyone cares I will be starting a new thread on lightly restoring and adding a few mod to LAH soon.
Ill see everyone next year.....
