Just returned home after a 6 hour drive and it was worth every minute of travel.
I've been to nearly all the big shows over the years, and Pintastic is now at the top of my list.
Some of my personal highlights:
* The extra ball lounge was AMAZING. Great games, air conditioning, dark lighting at all times and never crowded.
Probably the best addition to the show, and where I spent a lot of my time.
Suggestion for next year would be the option to add-on access to the EBL for $25-$40/day for folks who can't commit to the 4 day passes.
*Seminar program this year was also fantastic. Great variety and lots of interesting speakers.
Apparently some of the seminars will be archived on YouTube, which is super cool.
*The Sanctum crew did a kick-ass job as usual on the tournament end.
The live stream setup was also very impressive and professional, so kudos to the whole tournament team and volunteers for pulling that off.
*Southern New Hampshire Pinball Club room was also a lot of fun, with a nice selection of games and open late night. American Pinball Warrior was a blast.
*Yankee Spirits / Villiage Hot Dog
