Whats your booth about?

*Edit*
I searched and found IAAPA page!

P.S... Just by replying to this thread it helped your search request for your business, it's neat that this thread is moving up in the IAAPA searches!

I'll be there trying to take it all in (isn't it something like 10 miles of vendor booths?). Hitting IAAPA on Thursday and Friday before heading over to Free Play Florida for the rest of the weekend.

I went for my first time last year, and it really is a ton to take in. We spent most of the day going through the building and never even really made it outside.

The exhibitors are super nice too, especially to let families come in during Thursday and Friday and check out the stuff. My kids had a fantastic time and everyone treated us really well, given that they knew we wouldn't be really buying anything that day.

Who is headed out?

Do we have a decent amount of pinside representation there?

I’ve been going for the past 20 years, last year was the first time I didn’t attend. Planning on being there this year.

A few pinsiders in the industry, a few collectors, a few that go to the Free Play Florida convention. I'm the only "Pinball Press" that's there when I go hahaha.

We sure are! I'll drop you an email here in a bit.

We aren't sure if we are hitting IAAPA this year, even though we want to. We are going to try Legoland for the first time now that Kate is more into Lego.

I did mark some time in the schedule for time with you and your family plus a visit to the parts store though.

Look forward to your visit!

Maybe more guys will hit up Skycraft!

Just announced for the Orlando Free Play show, the weekend of Nov 17-19,
http://wp.freeplayflorida.com/, is Steve Ritchie as Special guest!

What makes Freeplay a great show, first is the Florida Gang!
Tons of Games and Vids, and awesome Hotel on I drive, near IAPPA!

Getting to talk with Stern can be difficult in Chicago, or a Working show, like IAPPA.
At Freeplay, it winds down, and you can find plenty of people at the Bar in the Lobby...
(Great Food!!...Korean Tacos!), ready to talk up a Pinball storm!
(Just as long as you are buying the drinks!)

Jim is loading up the Pre War Pin booth, so much to see and do!

If you are bringing your family, needless to say, Orlando has everything, including New
Coasters, Avatar Land, and Volcano Bay just opened.

Yes, a shameless plug for our local show....but well worth it, as the Holidays kick in!
