Pros and cons imo

1.) Tried to bring pins to the show but I was unable to meet really tight load in and out times.
Might be easier if you live closer.
Yet I've never had a problem driving 10 hours to Pin a Gogo with pins the last two years.
2.) Food at the venue is bad and not worth eating. (Better food in walking distance though)

Aside from that it is a really fun time.
1.) best crew for repairing pins I've ever seen at a show
2.) 200+ pins in mostly good shape to excellent
3.) friendly folks
4.) Washington State legal cannabis (21+)
5.) great speakers and seminar rooms
6.) Affordable ticket price
7.) Sell beer and wine (restricted to the food area)

To sum it up the pros massively outweighs the cons.

8.) tons of location play within the Tacoma Seattle area

You just blew my mind

A separate area where games are for sale and more flexible load in and out times would be awesome.

I have a feeling you're going to get less pins this year than last...unless you address some issues people have brought up.

I stand by that statement

Courtyard by Marriott is across the street
