Joystix http://www.joystixamusements.com/ is our local distributor here in Houston, who happens to be a Stern, JJP, CGC, and now an American Pinball distributor. So we have a good chance to have some of the newest games released this year.

It would be great to have this Jurassic Park mascot cruising around at the 2017Hou Arcade and Pinball Expo.
This dude cracked me up at the Indy 500 race.

Quoted from Lermods:
How does this show compare to TPF?

The same, but different.
I make both every year.
"For me", this is more of a party with live music, smaller venue & more games than time to play.

TPF is more of a show & is gigantic with strong focus on manufactures booths.

There's lots of other variances, but at some point...blablabla...

Totally different atmospheres, of which I thoroughly enjoy both above & beyond any other events. Do everything possible to make both & more importantly, make the most of them.

Quoted from Lermods:
How does this show compare to TPF?

Well established show, has tournaments you can enter, respectable free-play area, good mixture of pinball machines and arcade/video games, reasonable room rates, great party atmosphere, guest speakers, workshops, Sat morning swap meet out in the back parking lot, friendly folks that run this Expo. Some people like to dress up in Star Wars costumes, or as Mario Brothers, etc.
http://www.arcadecenter.com/

Not as big as TPF, and this is basically a 2 day show, where TPF is 3 days.

Pretty sure I have gone to this show for about 4 years, but didn't make it last year.
Usually I bring a pinball machine each year for setting up in the free-play area.
I hope to make it this year.

2 questions.

Is there flooding in the area of the Hotel?

Any chance of having an organized fundraiser in conjunction with the tournament or other ways of giving to assist flood victims?

Well, I was looking forward to it when I first opened this thread, but then realized I am working nights both days hahaha. Maybe I can wake up early and swing by.

I noticed your marketplace ads and you speaking of a Halloween party. This is right before it. You may find some good deals or trades in time for your party.

Now you guys are making me take the show under serious consideration.

Third time. I think. I know it's at least three, maybe four. I can visualize the three booth set ups, two in the main hall the first two years, one in the side vendor room, but I feel like there was more.

At any rate, very much looking forward to the show and some awesome BBQ and Mexican food!
