    If there is room in the trailer I'll probably bring GB premium. No promises though!

    Pre-registration for the Tournaments ends on November 10, 2016.

    http://www.marcustrevino.com/2016HAPE/p_HAPE2016.html

    Are you interested in a single price to play every event? Purchase the Pinbot Cup VIP Weekend Pass. This will include unlimited entries in the IFPA Modern and Selfie tournaments.

    Are you a new player and want to try your luck against the best pinball players in Texas? Purchase the "novice" IFPA Combo pack. As long as you are not ranked in the top 3,000 by the IFPA, you qualify for the special discount! $25 lets you play in both IFPA Match Play events.

    Found out today that the Domino's Spectacular Pinball Adventure left Benton, WI today headed for Houston. Should be there in plenty of time for the show (1 day to spare). Looking forward to seeing everyone and playing the new Fawzma code. Complete rewrite.

    Cool. Thanks. Are you running DotsXL? or HiRes?

    #265 7 years ago

    Please feel free to post pictures of the show anytime here.

    #266 7 years ago
    Quoted from PinballManiac40:

    Cool. Thanks. Are you running DotsXL? or HiRes?

    Neither. Standard Dots; light blue.
    I didn't upgrade to the newest Sigma release... so my "firmware" doesn't have DotsXL.
    It's already half packed; so don't think I'm going to get to upgrading before the show opens.

    #268 7 years ago

    Anybody have a Haunted House or Guns N Roses that they are looking to sell? I'd love to be able to pick up one or the other at the show.

    #270 7 years ago

    I don't know why I didn't think of this until now...

    Anyone going to the Houston show is welcome to take advantage of our GoVote16 sale w/ 6% off and a matching Pinside Donation thru Nov 10th 11:59pm.

    You can pick it up from me at the show and save on shipping.
    Just complete your order, pay via paypal*, and send me a note by PM and in the Order Notes so I won't actually SHIP it.
    *I'll refund the shipping charges manually via Paypal.

    Any orders after 10pm today (thur, nov 10) will probably be missed so get those orders in now. IE I'll be asleep to be up by 5:30am for the drive.

    #271 7 years ago

    Load in starts in 2 hours people!!

    #272 7 years ago

    I'm guessing the freeway out front has not changed one pebble since we were last here.

    But seriously, I appreciate having a national vendor come to town. We don't get enough of them.

    #291 7 years ago

    Games galore. Top titles. Awesome show.

    If you work here and are reading this. For the love of pinball please go through the games tonight and LEVEL them. So many otherwise awesome games are tilted SEVERELY to the left , right or too steep for the flippers. It's a real bummer.

    #293 7 years ago

    Had a great time! Saw some old friends, met some new friends, put my initials on Kiss, and saw more than one person wearing a cape.

    No one "works" here. All volunteers.

    Quoted from Leeb18509:

    Feel free to do so on the ones with a label with my Pinside name. I am lucky enough to have enough help to keep games working. Just be careful not to let the games lean too much that they bang the head to the game next to it.

    My friend had tried to level his TWD but some reason on that carpet, but still cannot seem to keep the game from rockin'.

    Quoted from Mudflaps:

    Should be even more freaky costumes being worn on Saturday.

    #297 7 years ago

    Thanks to Pinsider Zitt for his awesome classic Bally/Stern repri buttons...looking forward to putting these on my Ballys
