Wow, getting an early jump on things! It's not even 2017, but never too early to look forward to it...

Was the contract with the Convention Center extended? Until when? Or is it still ending soon? I forgot when the end date was...

What is the pinball count? What is the top pinball count from previous years? We definitely need to break the pin record for the 10th anniversary!

If anyone in the north-of-Seattle area (Edmonds, Lynnwood, Everett, etc) has one or two machines they need help with getting to the show, get in touch. I can stage at my place the week prior to the show and the show transport truck will stop at my place to pick up.

Was perusing and processing the publicly playable pin list... 180 pins. How does this compare with other years?

Here's some break downs.

Show Floor - 147 pins
Vendor Booth - 25 pins ( or vender )
KidsArea - 8 pins

Coming Soon - 12 pins
Some mystery machines - any insights? Probably some stuff like Hobbit and WoZ that aren't listed.

That's very cool, will make the machine even more popular.

I would have liked to get in on some of those too if you had announced you were doing a run of them...

Guess I'll just have to win a few now...

Nice! We're truck 3. Now if I can get tonight's pick up to respond, we can get rolling!

Getting my machines ready. Here's NOS Interflip Dragon... yes, that's the wrap coming off from the 70's! This guy has been in hibernation since then...
