How did I miss this thread??? OHHHH HELLL YEAH!!! The Houston Arcade Expo is a BLAST!!! I just reserved my room.

If you'd like a 'behind the scenes' look - or want to see a ton of pictures I took from the 2018 show, check it out:

As usual, I plan to bring a game this year. If I can get it done in time, I may bring my Haunted House with added multiball and speech. WoooHoo!! Really looking forward to the party!!!

<-- a little extra smoke for good measure.

I'll be bringin' the ol' reliable '79 Genie for free play.

I thought about it. However, there's a couple reasons I decided against it. First, it's a BEAST - so heavy. Not only does it have three playfields, but the main is PACKED with coils - heavy on it's own. Also, the up-kicker from the basement back to the main playfield can be finicky. I've got it working 100%, but I'm worried that it could get 'out of alignment', and I wouldn't know about it until that coil starts smokin'.

Brian is DA MAN!! Several others chip in to help as well.

Regarding HH - who knows. I'm about to trade my Mustang for a truck - so I won't need Blake's help hauling my gear this year.

Well - sometimes you just never know how things will go. Since May, the wife and I have been working to purchase some property in the Texas hill country. There's been some twists and turns, but the pieces are finally falling into place. We are planning to close early November. Unfortunately, this means I will not be able to attend the Expo this year.
